Lyre River campground

[NWrookie]

I am looking for a place to tent camp around Forks so I can fish the Bogachiel River. I found this campground, but it is first come first serve and you can't make reservations. I don't really want to drive all that way just to find out there isn't anything open. I probably will be going mid week, so this might not be an issue. Any suggestions?

Its a bit of a drive from the Lyre to forks, but not too bad. Hell, there is a camping spot in the campground right next to one of the best holes on the Lyre river (the logjam) for steelhead. If I stay in forks I usually sleep in my SUV in a parking lot (I'm cheap) so I don't know of any good tent camping spots. If you PM me I'll tell you where the fish are on the Bogy right now, though. I was there yesterday.

I wouldn't stay at the lyre campground, not very close to forks and we stayed there once...Never went back, lot of people partying till 3am. Lot of weird people at that campground. I always just get a cheap hotel when we are in forks. I think there is camping sites at 3 rivers though, which is near forks. Not too exspensive either. You could give them a call and see if theres any open sites left.

Thanks for the info. I am going the week of the 10th, so I have a little time to do some research. I would sleep in my truck also, but my wife is not very keen on that (she is afraid of vampires and werewolves).
