About
Coho Campground is situated on the west shore of Wynoochee Lake in the Olympic National Forest, providing a scenic wooded setting among evergreen conifers and hardwoods. The campground offers diverse camping options including 44 standard drive-in campsites that accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs up to 36 feet in length, 9 walk-in tent sites, 2 group sites for up to 16 people each, and 3 lakeside yurts that sleep up to 6 people. The yurts are 16-foot diameter structures with vinyl canvas stretched over wooden lattice, built on elevated platforms with lake-view decks. Each yurt is equipped with heat, electric lights, a futon couch, a bunk bed, and a table with chairs. Picnic tables and fire rings are located outside each yurt. Campers must bring their own bedding and cooking supplies. Recreational opportunities include swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, and hunting. The accessible Working Forest Nature Trail begins inside the campground and offers a half-mile interpretive journey. The 16-mile Wynoochee Lake Shore Trail circles the entire lake and is open to mountain bikes. Nearby attractions include Spoon Creek Falls and Wynoochee Falls, both accessed by short trails. The campground features flush toilets, drinking water, trash collection, fire rings, picnic tables, a boat ramp, and an RV dump station located just outside the campground on Forest Road 2294. No commercial services are available at the lake or campground, so visitors should bring sufficient fuel for the return trip.
