Log Cabin RV and Campground — Olympic National Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Swimming, kayaking, and hiking on the Spruce Railroad Trail draw campers to Lake Crescent, where water visibility reaches 20 to 30 feet on a clear summer day. Log Cabin RV and Campground sits directly on the lake's edge within Olympic National Park, open May through September, with drive-in access for RVs up to 30 feet. A boat launch, rentals, a camp store, and an on-site restaurant make it a self-contained base. Campers with kayaks report that lakefront sites provide direct water access, though those sites book out months in advance.

Site quality is the most consistent concern across reviews. Sites are compact and close together, with little privacy between neighbors, and some back up directly against the restroom and shower facilities. The tent sites receive particular criticism, as cabins on the property block lake views from lower-cost spots. Reviewers suggest sites 7 to 9 near the creek, 21 at the end of the row, or 22 to 30 along the water as the better choices. Cell service is unreliable throughout the campground, and WiFi reaches only the office area.

The campground provides electric, water, and sewer hookups for RVs, along with a well-organized dump station. Showers are available, though bathrooms are dated and limited in capacity during peak season. Nightly rates run around $65. As Christopher N. puts it, viewing this as "a place to sleep while you explore" a lake with solid hiking makes it more workable. Nearby alternatives include Lake Crescent Lodge — Olympic National Park and Joyce-Piedmont Road Dispersed — WADNR for campers who want more space. This campground works best for RV travelers and families focused on lake recreation rather than those prioritizing site seclusion.

Many visitors appreciated the stunning Lake Crescent location and crystal-clear water for swimming. However, several reviews cited cramped sites with no privacy and limited bathroom facilities as major drawbacks.

Resort with a campground

WiFi only at the office. Restaurant ($24 hamburger) on site. Small store with an ice cream bar. Boat rental available. Located on the lake. Water and electric only at sites (dump available) $65 per night. A great place to bring the kids.

Great location, no reserving particular sites

We were fortunate to have booked this campground six months in advance, so we got a great site that was next to the water and very accessible for our kayak. The site was close to the road and there was little to no privacy. The RV dump station was really well setup and the lodge with restaurant was convenient all though we never went there. The boat launch was well organized with different rentals. The lake is amazing with visibility of at least 20 to 30 feet. The only reason we wouldn't come back here is that you cannot reserve a site and there is a high probability of getting one that would not work for us. There were sites that backed into the restrooms and showers. That would be a nightmare! If we could reserve a site, we would come back, but not knowing what we are going to get, won't take that chance. Beautiful area!

Good basecamp

All the earlier reviews on this campground are correct. It’s cramped, with very little privacy. We laughed that it looked like we were parked at the grocery store instead of camping. The campsites on the end (21), by the lake (22-30), or by the creek (7-9) are probably the best, but still not great.

However, if you view this as a place to sleep while you explore a beautiful lake with great hiking, it becomes more palatable.

The good:

The lake is fantastic.
The hiking is great
the devil’s punch bowl
Spruce railroad trail for cycling

The okay:

Park common areas

The bad:

Cramped camping
Bathrooms are very dated

Morning views were incredible

I stayed here the night before they were closing for the season (lucky!) Stayed in a chalet. Minimal amenities but perhaps that’s the beauty of it. An A line cabin on this lake with minimal luxuries just appreciate the beauty of simplicity. Opening the door to this incredible glacier lake is something dreams are made of. It really humbles you and gives you gratitude.

Great location

The tent and RV sites don’t give much in the way of privacy, but we didn’t need more than just a place to sleep because there was so much to be doing everyday in the surrounding area. The location right on the lake was beautiful and fun. The dock was fun for jumping into the crystal clear water. It was easy to get food, fire wood, ice, and souvenirs at the camp store.

Scenic but cramped

For scenic views this campground is pretty hard to beat. Lake Crescent is stunning. The water is very clean and great for swimming in August. The campground is not laid out well and the sites are small and close together. Prepare to be friendly with your neighbors. It’s alway a drag to flush the septic system 6 feet from your neighbors door... “howdy neighbor!” The staff was great, but the campground basically unpoliced, so you end up with noise and dogs running loose. There are a variety of cabins available, a restaurant, and nice gift area.

Don't tent camp here!

Tent sites are terrible. Really close together and no views. Cabins block lake views.

RV sites - are pretty tight as well.

The lake is beautiful!

Didn't eat in the very expensive restaurant. Found the manager - I think that is who they were - to be only friendly to some folks (not us). They did not provide information about the campground - like where the water taps are or where to dump trash. We had to use an RV sites water spout as we couldn't find a general use one.

The bathrooms have only one shower and only one sink. It is hard to brush your teeth or wash your face when there is a line of people waiting behind you. As well the hand dryer in both the men's and women's bathrooms were incredibly loud (all night long).

Trash and recycling were unnecessarily far away. So far - that when I was doing laundry - someone came into the laundry room to dump their trash instead of walking to the bins on the opposite side of the campground. For a campground that was purchased by the National Park - metal animal proof bins, I am sure, could be attained.

The price was okay. Obviously though, folks who were paying for the higher priced cabins ($270+ a night) - were the focus. Us bike campers were not well received.

But again - the lake is beautiful!

Frequently Asked Questions

What RV accommodations are available at Log Cabin Resort & Campground?

RV sites at Log Cabin Resort & Campground are available but are relatively tight and close together, similar to the tent camping areas. The campground features a well-setup dump station for RVs. Waterfront sites (particularly sites 22-30) offer better views but still provide limited privacy. Due to the compact layout, larger RVs may find navigation challenging. The campground's proximity to Lake Crescent makes it popular despite the close quarters. For the best experience, consider booking well in advance (up to six months) to secure lakeside spots.

Is there a campground map available for Log Cabin Resort?

While specific information about a campground map isn't detailed, Log Cabin Resort has a layout where sites are numbered with locations 21-30 near the lake and 7-9 by the creek generally considered more desirable. To obtain an official campground map, contact the resort directly or check the Olympic National Park website. Understanding the site layout is helpful for selecting preferred locations, especially given the close proximity of campsites to one another. Site 21 on the end and the lakefront sites (22-30) typically offer better views and positioning.

What do reviews say about Log Cabin Resort & Campground in Olympic National Park?

Log Cabin Resort & Campground offers stunning views of Lake Crescent with crystal clear water perfect for swimming in summer months. The location is exceptional, providing easy access to the beautiful lake with a dock for jumping in. However, the campground layout has limitations - sites are close together with minimal privacy, often described as cramped. While the scenic setting is the main draw, visitors should expect to be in close proximity to neighboring campers. The restaurant on-site is noted as being somewhat expensive. Despite the tight quarters, most campers find the spectacular lake views and surrounding area activities make it worthwhile.
