ℹ️ About the Episode:
In this episode, we left Mount Rainier (just after the smoke rolled in) and made our way to Olympic National Park to camp at Sol Duc Campground for a few days. This campground might be the most relaxing place we've ever stayed due to the moss-covered trees in the rainforest and the lack of connectivity. The best word we can think of to describe it is enchanting.
In many ways, we prefer campgrounds without internet-as long as we know in advance. No internet means we bust out the Solo Stove and our favorite camping chairs, make a drink, and play some Candy Crush. 😂 (Okay, so maybe we don't totally disconnect from our screens!)

I don't think you spent enough time on the Peninsula there is alot more to see, I hope you'll come back. BTW none of the Twilight movies were filmed in Forks. The books and movies were set here but nothing was filmed here. Also that place you had a hamburger (Three Rivers) was built by my grandparents when my dad was 5 years old in the early 50's.

    I couldn’t wait for today’s video! This summer 2022, we spent three days near Sol Duc Hot Springs (Olympia National Park). Childhood memories, our family camped here for several year. Spent a morning at Lake Crescent, paddle boarding. Wow, it is most definitely worth the stop at the Lake. The color of the water is mesmerizing. Hiked to the Sol Duc Falls. Spent time in the Hot Springs. (Make reservations). An awesome time with my daughter and her three littles. Another trip, did Forks WA. In the car was my cousin’s daughter, a total Twilight geek. It was a wonderful event to do and see through her eyes. The coastal beaches are all worthwhile. Breath taking. You would have enjoyed going to see Hurricane Ridge. I was very happy to see the meadow with deers wondering about. It’s just stunning. The Olympic National Parks, one would need 4 weeks, 1 week per quadrant. Hoh Rain forest, another world. I’m so sorry you did not get to ride the ferry over to Coupeville, WA and take the drive up Whidbey Island. Here is another week of camping at Deception Pass, exploring. On over to the North Cascade Loop, It’s another amazing road trip. Looking forward to your adventures. I was born and raised on Whidbey Island, I now live in the San Diego area. Washington is still home for me. ❤❤❤

The weather was unseasonably dry and mild, and the park was empty and magical. Your video reminded me of it - a fantastic trip! Yes, the blog is great. I am about to get back on the road this fall heading to Washington (not in the 1970 Ford) and your videos, all the resources, inspiration and enthusiasm really help, thank you so much. AndiM

Your boys have gone from babies to men (we have three boys so it's always emotional when you do the flashbacks!) But now that we're caught up we can't just "put on some KYD" whenever we want, unless we wanna go re-runs! But honestly it's fitting, because we are in the process of purchasing our first RV and starting our own adventures. Hope to see you out on the road one day! P.S. Has anyone else told you that they sing the name of your channel to the tune of "PYT" by Michael Jackson? We can't say KYD without doing that 😆

    We were in Olympic back in the spring. As it was so big, we split our stay into two segments. First, we stayed at Adams Bar Campground just south of the rainforest entry road. (KYD - You would have loved this off the grid hidden gem!) This let us do the rainforest then the coast to up Cape Flattery for the hike out to the farthest west point in the continental US. Then we moved to the KOA in Port Angeles to explore the north side of Olympic. Then we headed to North Cascades and were lucky enough to get a ferry reservation avoiding the long drive around Puget Sound. So much fun watching your visit having just been there!

    My childhood stomping grounds. I'm thrilled you all took in and enjoyed our gorgeous part of the world. Lake Crescent (summer camp), lake Sutherland (cabin), lived at the former lake Mills for a time (natural hot spring pools), etc., etc.... The Pacific Northwest has everything thanks to our relatively mild seasons. As a child, like most other children, I did not fully appreciate the splendor of the PNW. That said, I couldn't survive living in the west end of the peninsula. It's a bit too wet and cold for me. When this was filmed the ferry system was a total mess. They were short staffed and down a few vessels, causing the cancelation of nearly half of their normally scheduled sailings. Hopefully WSF will be back to normal operations starting summer 2023. Yes, reservations are strongly advised. During peak season in Washington, most RV parks and campgrounds are full. If you can't get on a ferry you'll be staying the night in a parking lot. We all know many of the free to stay overnight parking lots are disappearing. The homeless have inundated these parking lot, forcing business owners to no longer allow over night stays. Cheers!

    Having just returned from a weeklong trip to the NY Finger lakes and Letchworth state park, I was thinking the same thing! My husband and I also stayed at 3 Harvest Hosts during the trip. There was a lot of planning but it was worth the effort. Definitely nice to stay at one place for a few days to take in all the sites. One night stays involve travel time and sometimes very little time to explore the beauty a region has to offer. I really appreciate the efforts of the KYD family! Also, on a trip to the PNW, I really enjoyed Ruby Beach , Hoh Rainforest and Lake Crescent at Olympic National Park. Beautiful part of the USA.

    Olympic was the highlight of our summer roadtrip. Amazing beaches, rainforest and mountains. Hot tip, check the tide schedules when going to the beaches and plan the rest of your visits around the park around that. Absolutely amazing. We did low tide at salt Creek rec area, low tide sunset at Rialto beach, low tide at second beach. Sunset at hurricane ridge was also amazing. Hope you got to see Sol Duc falls while you were at the campground. That part of the rainforest blew me away compared to Hoh. Also we couldn't get reservations for the ferry 3 weeks in advance from coupeville to Port Townsend. We ended up waiting in line most of the day before we got on.

    Your national park series is great. Making my list for when I can take longer than 1 week at a time. By the way, for your National Park stamps, when I make mistakes I make a copy onto a label and stick the label in the right place or right-side up. Or if I forget my book and have to use one of their little pieces of paper, a copy on a label works a lot better than a lot of tape.

    If you ever come back to the Olympic Peninsula stay at Saltcreek Campground. We consider this one of the best places to stay while out west.

    Really special seeing your tour of the Olympics. I grew going to Sol Duc with my folks trailer camping and now get to do it with my kids. September is our special time of the year as the majority of tourists are gone and the weather is amazing. Hiking up to Sol Duc Falls and Deer Lake is a must for people that enjoy hiking.

    Welcome to the PNW ❤️ Its exciting to watch a video of RV Royalty enjoying my neck of the woods!! Isn't is incredibly beautiful? Seriously, if/when the time comes that we have to give up RVing, watching KYD videos would get me through it. It's like being there but without the stress and expense.
