North Fork Campground. 2 minutes At a junction in the road, a brown sign with a right pointing arrow reads: North Fork Campground. Down this dirt road on the right a second sign reads: Welcome to North Fork Campground. Fee $15 per night. 1. Select site. 2. Register at bulletin board. 3. Deposit fee in metal canister. 4. Place stub on dashboard. Further along a third sign reads: No garbage service. Please pack it out. Soon, on both sides of the road, numbered campsites begin. The road ends in a loop where more campsites ring the perimeter. In the center of the loop is an island with low growing plants, a large pine tree, a brown metal food storage locker, a bulletin board, and payment canister. The bulletin board is roof covered and has posted notices on both sides. The side facing the entrance road includes information about day hikes at Quinault; wildlife, food, and your safety; stock use; river crossings; pet regulations; firearms and weapons; and cougars in the area. On the opposite side is a box with a lid holding camping permits. Posted above are campground registration instructions and payment instructions. Other notices include campground and fishing regulations, nearest services, how to help preserve your park, and to contact a park ranger or dial 911 in an emergency. On the food storage locker behind the bulletin board a sign reads: Shared food storage for walk-in sites or campers with no vehicles. Place all food and scented items in locker anytime they are not in use. Please do not use for garbage. Thank you. Campsite surfaces are flat and mostly grass and dirt. Each site has a picnic table and in-ground metal fire pit. The sites are nestled in a forest of young and old pine trees. Fallen trees, covered with green moss, lay on a dense carpet of tall ferns and other low growing plants.
