The long reads
The Forks (Olympic Peninsula) guide
Forks holds the U.S. record for highest annual rainfall in a town at 130+ in/yr. The city itself, runs a bulk-vehicle code at Forks Code Title 10 that pushes overnight RVs out of residential zones — so plan to land at Hoh Rainforest Campground (Olympic National Park (NPS), 30 mi, No hookups; potable water at host station, rigs to 21 ft at $30/night). Within day-trip radius, Olympic National Park (Hoh Rainforest) and Rialto Beach (Olympic NS) stage the deeper scenic agenda.
The dump station most rigs use is Hoh Rainforest Campground; propane refill at Forks True Value Hardware (81 N Forks Ave, Forks, WA 98331). The local-calendar tripwire is Forks Twilight tourism (year-round, peaks in summer) — twilight-themed tourism brings small-town RV camping to capacity. Best stays land in Mid-May through September; the season to avoid is November through April.
The mistake the local visitor bureau warns about is driving hoh rainforest road in a Class A — single-lane sections, tight turns; rigs over 21 ft prohibited per NPS. For renters coming from out of state, Washington's broader RV-rule playbook starts with this municipal context: Forks Code Title 10 reads in tandem with the state's commercial-vehicle and rest-area policies. On the trip-planning side, Forks anchors the western Olympic Peninsula leg of a US-101 loop.
When to come
Best: Mid-May through September — Olympic Peninsula green season with reduced rainfall.
Skip: November through April — Pacific atmospheric river events bring 120+ in annual rainfall.
