The National Park Service will implement a reservation service this summer for Olympic National Park’s Staircase Campground.
The reservation system will be used by campers arriving between July 5 and Aug. 31, according to park officials, and the campground will remain first-come, first-served during the remainder of the year.
“Visitation to the Staircase area of Olympic National Park has steadily increased in recent years,” said Revenue and Fee Program Manager Cheryl Higbee.
“This summer reservation system will help visitors plan a visit to this remote area of the park during the busiest season of the year,” Higbee said.
Reservations for Staircase Campground from July 5 through Aug. 31 can be made online at Recreation.gov, or by calling a toll-free reservation line at 877-444-6777.
Bookings can be made starting two weeks in advance of the arrival date, up to one day in advance of arrival.
The campsite price remains $24 per night in 2023, and a 50 percent discount remains available to individuals possessing a Senior Pass or Access Pass.
The length of stay at the campground is limited to seven days within the reservation season.
The Staircase Campground is located in the southeastern section of Olympic National Park. It encompasses 49 sites in a forested area along the North Fork Skokomish River.
