Located in Clallam County in northwestern Washington State, Sol Duc Campground lies approximately 75 miles northwest of Seattle, in the northwestern portion of Olympic National Park. Olympic National Park comprises 1,442 square miles and occupies the heart of the Olympic Peninsula, as well as a noncontiguous, 73 mile-long-strip of Pacific Ocean coastline. The park encompasses four regions that vary broadly in climate and topography, including the alpine areas near the center of the park, the rugged Pacific coastline and temperate rainforest of the west side, and the drier forests of the east. Sol Duc Campground is situated in the forested mountain foothills and on the northern bank of the Sol Duc River. Sol Duc Campground is an excellent and highly intact example of National Park Service Mission 66 campground development in Olympic National Park. Largely developed between 1958 and 1966, Sol Duc Campground presently contains a visitor parking area, two campground loops, an amphitheater, and visitor facilities including comfort stations, water supply stations, a trailer dump station, and trash enclosures. Overall, Sol Duc Campground is eligible under Criteria A and C at the local level of significance within the Mission 66 historic context and is in good condition.
