Lake Leland Campground

Motor boats stay off Lake Leland, creating a quiet water environment where campers can fish, swim, and walk dogs without engine noise. This Jefferson County campground sits back from main roads with fewer than 20 sites, making it a smaller option that often has availability even during busy summer weekends.

The campground maintains clean bathrooms and provides each site with a fire pit and picnic table. Some sites offer limited privacy between neighbors, though a few spots provide both seclusion and lake views. Campers consistently note the quiet atmosphere, particularly in lower-numbered sites that catch morning sun. Rich M. describes it as "a nice, well maintained campground next to a lake."

Jefferson County staff collect fees but don't maintain a constant presence, with quiet hours running 10 PM to 7 AM. The campground allows pets and accepts reservations at $18 per night, with a reduced $10 rate for cyclists. For additional options, campers can explore campsites around Quilcene or check nearby Quilcene Community Campground.

Book ahead for holiday weekends, though this spot typically offers better availability than other Olympic Peninsula campgrounds during peak season.

A small, well-maintained lakeside campground offering good availability and clean facilities. Many mentioned serious noise enforcement issues during quiet hours, though the peaceful lake setting and reasonable pricing appeal to many visitors.

Good spot

Great location, lake is walking distance for dogs, swimming, and fishing.

Only downfall to this campground is that there is no one monitoring the quiet time of 10pm-7am. We had 2 spots that were next to our spot that were loud until after midnight. I had to say something twice. Very rude of them to do so. Zero common courtesy.

Jefferson county stop by on Friday around 4pm, and picked up the money. Didn’t check in with ppl or check the 2 bathrooms on prem.

We got lucky and got a spot on Friday July 2nd for the weekend.

Reasonable spot. Rules not enforced.

Arrived around 9pm. Mostly quiet. Camped near someone with a generator and thought they’d shut it off at 10pm (quiet hours 7am-10pm). Well, they didn’t shut it off till we asked and then turned it back on at midnight. Impossible to sleep. Got up to use the restroom and someone had been smoking cigarettes in the bathroom: shit + cig smoke = super lame. The number Jefferson County instructs you to call in case of issues is only operable from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Lower # campsites seem to have good morning sun.

Quiet Lake/Small Campground

There are almost always spots available at Lake Leland, even on a weekend during the busy summer months. The campground itself is small, with a under 20 sites. Some sites don't offer much privacy however there are a few gems that give you privacy and a lake view. We have stayed here several times when everything else on the Peninsula was full.
