Hiking waterfall trails, Olympic NP

My first full day in ONP! Decided to hike some easy trails to waterfalls, beginning with Marymere Falls. Passed Lake Crescent on the way there, beautiful and serene scenery. Surprisingly quiet, not many people around. I guess the summer crowd has yet to arrive.
Next up were the Sol Duc Falls; this trail had a few more people. The entire park was so lush and green, the weather was mild which made it ideal for hiking.
Earlier in the day, I found some places to camp nearby. The Bogachiel State Park had a spot but only for tomorrow night, which I reserved using my phone. For tonight, Hipcamp offered a spot in the RW Services and RV Park in the town of Forks. Non electric but it was near the Hoh Rainforest entrance, so I took it. I headed there, found that it was partly a construction camp next to the main road, but there were spaces for a few RVs further in, next to a creek. In fact there were two spots with full hook ups next to the workshop. There was even wifi access! The owners were very nice, when the lady heard about my coach battery problem, she upgraded me to the vacant FHU spot for free even though I offered to pay the full rate. There were modern toilets but no showers in the park, so I took a shower in my RV. Spent a very comfortable nigh in the RV hooked up to power. This would be my first choice for camping if I ever come this way again.
