This "backcountry" campsite is only 2.6 miles up the North Fork Quinault River trail and man it is worth it, especially on a hot summer day. There are at least 6-7 established spots along the west bank of the river that are either in the forest or out along the gravel bar, each one had a fire pit and a few even had stump benches.
There are operational bear wires here but there is no privy (at least that I could find) so bring your trowel! By far the best part of this site though is the swimming holes. There is one that is directly out from the camp sign and is a slow-moving eddy that is at least 4 feet deep in the middle of summer, perfect to cool off in. Also upriver a bit and on the other side is a nice sandy beach and a huge calm pool that would be perfect lounging spot as long as the water isn't too high to cross.
This is an excellent spot to try to ake it to if you are going further into the backcountry but spent most of your day driving. I would recommend this over North Fork campground if you have an option, it will not disappoint!
