# Menizei

> Menizei is an adults-only luxury campground for couples on the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, 15 minutes north of Olympic National Park. Three private forest-retreat basecamps, each with a blackout canvas tent, cedar sauna, floating bathhouse, private viewing deck and campfire ring. Direct-booking only — Menizei is not listed on any online travel agency.

## What Menizei is

- One sentence: Menizei is Washington State's first luxury campground — an adults-only, couples-only forest retreat near Olympic National Park.
- It is a single property with three private basecamps, not a multi-room hotel. Each basecamp hosts one couple at a time (maximum two guests, 21 and over).
- The register is warm, specific and unhurried — elevated and cheeky. The luxury is felt, not announced.
- Stewards: Janice Wilson and Mark Zawistoski.

## Location

- Port Angeles, Washington (WA), United States — on the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula, near Olympic National Park.

- Check-in 4 PM, checkout 11 AM.

## Basecamps

- [Grand Fir](https://menizei.com/basecamps/grand-fir): The most monumental basecamp — the tallest conifers, the most unfettered Salish Sea views and the greatest sense of scale. For couples who want to feel the size of things.
- [Red Alder](https://menizei.com/basecamps/red-alder): The most romantic and most accessible basecamp, with the most dramatic arrival. The natural choice for milestone occasions — proposals, anniversaries and birthdays.
- [Twin Cedars](https://menizei.com/basecamps/twin-cedars): The most secluded basecamp — the longest approach and deepest forest position, beside the two western red cedars that name it. For couples who want the forest to have the last word.
