Very nice place!

Hello everyone, I recently traveled around Washington and our guide directed us to the Lira River. I took some beautiful photos and one long video. I can upload it to vimeo, but for that I will need to convert it from mts to mp4 format. A friend suggested this site to me, and I was able to convert the video.

Beautiful but Busy

This is a small campground with 11 sites. Even in the off season, this campground was busy. During the day, people drove in and out presumably to look at the river, and, while we had the campground to ourselves during the day on Saturday, there were several campers Saturday night. There is good surfing in the area so a few of the campers were there for that purpose. Most of the sites are very close together with only a short fence between them and are not very private. If you could reserve a few sites close together, it would be great for a group.

There is an easy, 1.25-mile (2.5-mile round trip) walk to the beach—trailhead at the entrance to the campground—that is really nice.

There are 3 water spigots open year round and 2 pit toilets, one of which is open year round. One site (6) has hookups and a cement pad but the hookups were locked for the season when we were there. We were able to get about 1 bar LTE/2 bars 3G with Verizon but cell service overall was limited.

The river was lovely but we probably won’t return to this one. Just too crowded for us!

We enjoyed our time at Lyre River Campground, it is a free campground with discover pass, well worth it to get the discover pass. Very busy during peak season, took us a couple times to get in.

Tranquility on Lyre River

It’s beautiful here! Clean sites, vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, trash service, lots of firewood for sale from the nearby farms (you‘ll need it because everything else is driftwood). About half the sites are next to the river with a path down but there’s also a nice short trail on the right side that takes you to a riverbed, perfect for taking a dip or doing dishes. There’s a picnic area but no one was using it and lots of people were using the campsites for day use then leaving. It did fill up at night though (even on weekdays). I went down to the much more popular Salt Creek area to take a shower ($0.25/2 min) and I definitely prefer this campground- much more privacy and trees, plus it’s free with Discover Pass ($5/day or $30/year)! Pretty easy to get to Port Angeles (Safeway, Walmart), and right between several sections of Olympic NP. There’s a restaurant in Joyce called Blackberry Cafe; we didn’t make it there, but were told they have the best fruit pies. Also very close to Murdoch Beach.

Cheap and quiet

Stayed here in the busy season, when we couldn't find space at any of the bigger more popular campgrounds, and there was no fee! It was nice and clean, quiet, and right next to a pretty stream. Beware though, i think the derections might be slightly wrong... the campground is on the east bank of the creek.
