"Right outside of port angeles. Great stop before or after Vancouver Island or Olympic National park or in our case...both."
"If you’re lucky enough to get one of the reserved sites tucked back in the woods then you get a lot more of that nature feel."
"Shaded spots yet plenty of sun with picnic tables to have lunch with a view..plenty of trails to walk. Clean bathrooms. Had to pay for showers. Had a nice playground for kids."
"Just go for a walk out the spit to get a unique perspective of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This is a USFWS refuge and campground,so if your into seabirds, this is the place to go."
"Clean sites, vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, trash service, lots of firewood for sale from the nearby farms (you‘ll need it because everything else is driftwood)."
"Hello everyone, I recently traveled around Washington and our guide directed us to the Lira River. I took some beautiful photos and one long video."
"The sites were a bunch of drive ups in a ring with a pit toilet near by. Surrounded by trees and right on the way between Port Ángeles and Cape Flattery. Would do again!"
"Driving along Hwy 112 on the Olympic Peninsula can feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere and then this little gem pops up seemingly out of nowhere. "
$10 / night
"Crescent Lake was no exception."
"We had a great stay, we stayed in the lower campsite #2 and it did not have the horse requirement so we nabbed it before 6pm."
"We took the trail past Enchanted Valley and up to Marmot Lake, up to Lake Lacrosse, hopped over Ranger Pass (extremely difficult), and back down into the valley."
"Located 15 miles from Graves Creek Campground on a backcountry trail, this is a campsite that any true backpacker must experience."
$20 - $30 / night
"We came here around 9pm on a Friday as we couldn’t get any first come spots elsewhere in the area. We don’t have horses but it was a pleasant area to stay in still."
"Located on the east side of the Olympic Peninsula, Collins campground is a bit off the beaten path, which was what I was looking for during peak season in August."
"Disclaimer: the road from highway 101 to the campground has SO MANY potholes. Big ones that we had to navigate in our RV but nothing that made it too hard to access the campground."
"About an hour on unpaved road until you get to the actual camp but the drive is gorgeous! Old growth and new baby trees line the roads and there’s about 10+ little streams along the way."
"It is tucked away on the western side of the Olympic Mountains, but easy to drive to. Old fashioned forest service-type campground, with lots of vegetation between camp sites for privacy. "
$25 / night
"Close to town and nearby sites. The owner, Veronica lives in the house on site. Veronica is very friendly and an awesome host. Would definitely stay there again."
LegendThis place is super under cover and rad! Right outside of port angeles. Great stop before or after Vancouver Island or Olympic National park or in our case...both. Hot showers, very on the picnic table raccoons and incredible views of the sound.
ScoutSalt Creek is my family’s go-to campground. If you’re lucky enough to get one of the reserved sites tucked back in the woods then you get a lot more of that nature feel. Plus there’s a big beach, tide pools, hiking, world war bunkers, and it’s close Port Angeles which is a nice tourist town if you like to shop.
TravelerWe drove right up. Notice said we needed a discover pass, which we didn’t have, nor did we have enough service to look up what it was. We winged it and and got the pass later in town. $30 for so many sites in WA so worth it. The sites were a bunch of drive ups in a ring with a pit toilet near by. Surrounded by trees and right on the way between Port Ángeles and Cape Flattery. Would do again!
LegendLoved this campground! Had a bit of everything. Shaded spots yet plenty of sun with picnic tables to have lunch with a view..plenty of trails to walk. Clean bathrooms. Had to pay for showers. Had a nice playground for kids.
Super level and spacious spots. I had reception there. Would definitely camp here again. Convenient to Port Angeles.
GuideVery nice RV and tent camp Port Anglese Wash. On the Straits of Juan Fuca, Whale watching, Olympic National Forest Wow the view at hurricane ridge, Crescent Lake hiway 101 at Port Angeles right on us 112 follow the sign.
ScoutThis hidden gem, just west of Port Angeles and North of Olympic National Park has the best tidepooling in PNW. You can easily put in Kayaks and SUP. Wide open space for RV campers, but wonderful forested sites for tent and car campers. Emaculate. Two hosts so there is always someone there to help with firewood. Over a dozen walk up sites so it’s a good one if traveling on the fly! Great hikes and waterplay options. And so close to Olympic Natl park.
LegendThis is another one of those late evening finds for us that makes this no reservations lifestyle work. Driving along Hwy 112 on the Olympic Peninsula can feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere and then this little gem pops up seemingly out of nowhere.
There’s just a handful of sites situated in a line at the end of a large parking area for the OHV access trails nearby, but they are lovely. These sites are FREE with your Washington State Discover Pass ($30 annual pass), and we can imagine that it gets pretty crowded on popular weekends.
Campsites we’re pretty packed together, with picnic tables and fire rings. Pictures were taken on a Monday morning when everyone else had already left. : ) Had the place to ourselves for a couple of hours.
There is a vault toilet and a fresh water tap. We just stayed the night on the way to/from the west side of the peninsula back to the east side, so it was perfect.
Nearby OHV trails and dirt roads offer lots of recreation opportunities, as well as the nearby Olympic National Park. Driving distances in this area are pretty far, so plan accordingly.
The closest town with all services is Port Angeles, but many gas stations, general stores and mom and pop restaurants can be found in the small villages through which you will drive.
LegendMostly quiet, great views! Lovely spot by beach with cell service and level spots. Easy to get in and out of. Bathrooms were clean, can have you dog. Lots of places to walk and to go down by the beach.
We had an incident with a very odd human being that we would have liked to skip. Unfortunately it is not the parks fault, but it happened here. Very aggressive when we walked both our dogs past each other. Didn't report as we didn't want trouble with a person that didn't totally have all their marbles....it was an impression we will not forget about this park unfortunately. Everyone else was friendly and waved when they went by.
Close to Port Angeles.
TravelerIt’s beautiful here! Clean sites, vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, trash service, lots of firewood for sale from the nearby farms (you‘ll need it because everything else is driftwood). About half the sites are next to the river with a path down but there’s also a nice short trail on the right side that takes you to a riverbed, perfect for taking a dip or doing dishes. There’s a picnic area but no one was using it and lots of people were using the campsites for day use then leaving. It did fill up at night though (even on weekdays). I went down to the much more popular Salt Creek area to take a shower ($0.25/2 min) and I definitely prefer this campground- much more privacy and trees, plus it’s free with Discover Pass ($5/day or $30/year)! Pretty easy to get to Port Angeles (Safeway, Walmart), and right between several sections of Olympic NP. There’s a restaurant in Joyce called Blackberry Cafe; we didn’t make it there, but were told they have the best fruit pies. Also very close to Murdoch Beach.
