A caution on Dosewallips: People get the Dosewallips State Park campground mixed up with the ones up the Dosewallips Road that is washed out.
The state park is on the main highway (101), the road is fine, and you don't hike in. There is plenty of RV parking and tent sites this time of year, but you should make a reservation.
The river (right there at the park) is rather low, but fun to visit, especially in the Fall when the salmon are spawning. There is also a trail out to the beach on Hood Canal (it is level and takes about 20 minutes each way).
The grassy sites are cozy and unless there is a serious drought, allow campfires. You can buy wood at the campground, and there is a small store nearby. Bringing a boat? People staying at the campground can use a boat launch for free, just up the road at Triton Cove.
Whichever way you choose to get there, the drive is lovely. Try going over the Hood Canal Bridge---there is a great view and once in a while a submarine comes by.
