I'm planning a camping trip with some friends for sometime in the first half of June. Our preference is the Olympics despite the potential for bad weather. Anyone know of any good, secluded camp sites new water? Hiking ok.

For camping in the Olympics, you won't have much company either in the mountains or on the peninsula. Here are some resources to start:
Altair Campgrounds, Olympic Mountains, Washington
Washington hiking trails - Elwha River Trail, Olympic Mountains
Olympic National Park - Campgrounds (U.S. National Park Service)
and there are a ton of possibilities, all clickable, on this site:
Olympic Mountains & Washington Pacific Coast Campgrounds and Camping Trips

You'll love it out on the Olympic peninsula. There's tons of places. Allforcats posted some great sites.
I can't be specific, unless
1. what type of camping-roughing it, or pulling up a truck with coolers and firewood
2. what type of hiking? walking in the woods or hoofing it until your calves fall off.
3. river, lake or puget sound, fishing?
4 any other unmentionables-guns, atv's, kids???

*all very important questions when trying to be a good tour guide!!

I love - in June so not seclueded- there maybe a couple of other people there - who knows but the best place to go is Enchanted Valley hike above Quinalt lake - Graves creek campground is the parking spot, people but not so much people at least when I go been a few year - it is the best and maybe this June would be all waterfalls -depends on winter - it is the best of all Olympics in my mind. It is a nice trail - first couple of miles is over 1000 ft then turns into level for 13 miles. My perfect spot in Olympics other than places on beach I won't tell anyone. Enchanted valley is great. in the top three off all the places I have mountain rode horses actually hiked this one.
