Is there any camping other than campgrounds on the Pacific Coast in Washington?

We have two old dogs that do not like to play with other dogs or kids, so campgrounds are not a good place for them. We can either car camp or tent camp- just not with close neighbors. We were thinking Olympic Peninsula, but that is negotiable. Any ideas? And thanks for looking!

Answer
You can camp in our National Forests... if you drive down and of the forest roads (the gravel ones) you'll see places along the side where people have camped before.. you'll see fire rings to use.. BUT these places do not have running water or bathroom, so you'll be primitive camping (where you have to bring all your water to drink and cook with).

I would highly suggest buying Don Wright's Guide to Free Campgrounds. It's a book (an east and west addition) that lists campgrounds in forests and other secluded places that are free and $12 and under for one night's stay. I use it as my camping bible.. I don't want to stay where RVs and generators are... I suggest you get a copy.. it will help you plan your trip better.
Good luck & have fun camping!

Is there anyone else besides me who prefers Trailers to a tent?

I grew up trailer camping, my parents said they used to tent camp when I was young, but don't remember it. I went from camping in trailers to tents when I got older and went without my parents. I did tent camping for 14 years. We bought a trailer in 2006 and I love it.
I would like to add, we still do the cooking outdoors. I just like knowing I don't have to wander out to the bushes in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

You know, this is something that is kind of funny. I started off camping using tents, as I got a little older I moved to trailers just for the same reasons that you did. As time would have it, I have now gone back to tents because, I really enjoy the more natural feeling. It really is about personal preference. If someone is camping in a tent, and their neighbor is camping in a RV, it doesn't mean that the RV'ers were not camping, because it is the cycle in which they are involved. The thing about camping is escaping the ordinary life at home, to get some time off doing something out of the ordinary, and lets face it, that feels good. I truly enjoy getting back to nature feeling the wind on my back, the heat of the fire on my face. I like the smells of the forest where I go. I like experiencing the sounds of the night time woods. I like the crispness of the air on my nose in the morning. No matter what I'm using as shelter. Camping really isn't that much different to everyone, you still get the same rewards whether your in a tent or a trailer.
