In the agency’s own words
Coho Campground is situated on the west shore of Wynoochee Lake, part of the emerald paradise that is Olympic National Forest. Evergreen conifers and hardwoods provide a beautiful wooded setting. Keep reading
Recreation
Recreational opportunities abound, including picnicking, swimming, hiking, boating, hunting and fishing, all possible within the area. The Working Forest Nature Trail, an accessible trail beginning inside the campground, is a 1/2-mile interpretive journey into how the natural resources are hard at work providing opportunities and commodities for the American public.
Facilities
The campground offers 44 standard campsites that will accommodate tents, trailers and RVs up to 36' in length. Two group sites will accommodate up to 16 people each. There are nine walk-in tent camping units, one of which will accommodate 12 people. Three yurts are also available for reservation with each accommodating a maximum of six people and two vehicles. There is a short walk of 300-500 feet to reach each yurt. Yurt sites #57 and #58 do not allow additional tents, trailers, or RV camping. Yurt site #50 will accommodate an additional tent. The yurts are non-smoking units . Coho has flush toilets, drinking water and trash collection, as well as picnic tables, campfire rings and a paved road. Trails and a boat ramp are also available. An RV dump station is located just outside the campground on Forest Road 2294.
Natural Features
Olympic National Forest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner of Washington State, known as the Evergreen State. The Olympic Peninsula is an unique geographic province consisting of five major landscapes: temperate rain forest, rugged mountain terrain, large lowland lakes, cascading rivers and saltwater beaches. Here the flora and fauna provide interest beyond the imagination.
Nearby Attractions
Scenic Spoon Creek Falls and Wynoochee Falls are both accessed by short trails nearby. The 16-mile Wynoochee Lake Shore Trail circles the entire lake and is open to mountain bikes. At the nearby Wynoochee Dam, visitors can enjoy exhibits at the vista overlook and a dramatic view of the river gorge just below the dam. Swimming and picnicking facilities are available at the dam.

Every line of the receipt · 14
What you actually pay
“additional vehicles are $5/day to be paid within 30 minutes of arrival.” · the U.S. Forest Service’s own agency notice
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $40 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

Toilet distances are OpenStreetMap’s, measured for 58 of the 58 sites listed. A site with no reading is unknown, never far.
The price is derived by CAMPANAC, not published per site: the per-night rate this campground publishes for each site’s own site type. 58 of the 58 sites listed carry one, and a site whose type has no published rate sits out of the price rather than being called free.
Measured shade is NLCD Tree Canopy Cover 2024 (USDA Forest Service / MRLC) read at the site’s own coordinate, 27% canopy or more, and only for the sites the agency gave no Shade value. It never changes the agency’s own shaded count beside it.
