          Funky, convenient

          Langley is a great little town. I don’t know why they haven’t done more to develop the campground- all sites are first-come-first served. They did repair the electrical system this year and just reopened. It’s at the fairgrounds on the edge of town, there’s a largely unlandscaped grass field with electrical boxes & (some) water connections. There is a dump out on site and potable water. There are accessible bathrooms and showers nearby. The campground is on a hill above the horse barn and arena, very convenient to the town of Langley, which is delightful. No camp host available, nobody you can call for assistance. Because the campground just reopened, we were the only ones camped most of the 6 days we were here. I love Langley but they are not as tourist-driven as many towns which have campgrounds like this.

          Wonderful location with fabulous view of Mt Baker

          Really nice farm with a great mountain view.  Quiet rural setting but close to town (Mt. Vernon) if you need anything or just want to explore the farmer's market, as we did.  Woodland trail on the 10+ acres was a real plus for our two dogs.  Hosts were helpful and responsive.  All around a great weekend.  Thank you.

          Best Tide Pooling in the Lower 48 States!

          We love this campground so much, I almost hesitate to write this review. Like a number of Washington State Parks, the plug-in sites are in a large field, with very few trees around and kind of look like a lot of other standard RV parks with three or so levels of close parking with lovely views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca between the US and Canada.

          While the view is lovely, this is not where this park shines. Go further, into the primitive camping loops, there you’ll find paradise. The sites are small, and situated under a diverse coastal Washington beach forest. A few of the sites have some good solar opportunities, while others are completely under canopy. Most could only accommodate smaller rigs, but a few could get a mid-sized Class B, vans and smaller trailers aren’t a problem. 

          Aside from reminding us of the kind of campsites we went to as kids, this place just feels like a great place to hang out and let the kids run feral. This park offers one of the most stunning tide pool experiences that these two naturalists have ever seen without getting in a boat. It’s so richly filled with creatures in the intertidal zone, that it has to be seen in order to be believed. Just a short walk from the campground, go armed with good footwear and the curiosity of a child. Trust us, just put it on the list. 

          There’s lots of hiking within the park as well, from the short coastal path, to exploring the WWII ruins, and down to the sandy beach below the bluff on which the campground sits. Nearby Olympic National Park offers many recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast, the hiking is particularly stunning there. 

          Port Angeles is less than 20 minutes away where you can get resupplied, or treat yourself to dinner, or get more information about the National Park. The nearby communities have gas stations, general stores and convenience stores but only a few Mom and Pop diners/ cafes along state route 112.

          Amazing campground on the water

          Campsite 67 at Salt Creek Campground was perfect for our weekend trip. Great views, ample space, and clean facilities. We enjoyed the nearby hikes and tide pools. The site has a fire ring and picnic table. It’s popular, so book ahead. The campground and location were beautiful. The playground in the main campground are is also great for kids. Ideal for our family! We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended!

          Beautiful spot by beach

          Mostly 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.

          Lovely spot by the water

          Loved 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.

          Crap

          If you are there even 5 min past the 10 day limit even though you are obviously packing up the manager will give you a specific time to be gone by or ahe will call the police in an attempt to have you tresspased then call the cops 40mins before that time and on the 9th day she called the police to do a welfare check even though everyone was up and moving around obviously ok. 😡 Never again and i may not even go to their crappy carnival they try to call a fair either.

          Was able to get a first come first serve tent site. Small and not very private, but it worked for the night. Big plus was the tite pooling you can walk to on the coast

          Has all the basic needs for a safe stay.

          It's more of a place to park then a full on campground. It has water and 30 amp power at all spots with access to a dump station. You are limited to 7 nights per month. It's right next to the fairgrounds so you have all the sounds that come with that. A great place if you are one of the vendors for an event at the fairgrounds. It was $35 a night. If you reserve your spot online there is an $8 fee to do that. The power pedestals is set up for 2 rv's per pole so it might be on the wrong side so you need to run an extra cord or hose. Not a problem if your set up for it.

          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. I can upload it to vimeo, but for that I will need to convert it from mts to mp4 format. A friend suggested this site to me, and I was able to convert the video.

          Very nice Hiker/biker sites

          We camp here a few times, the last time in August 2021 during a self-supported bike tour around the Olympic Peninsula. The biker/hiker sites are quite nice, isolated from regular campsites but if sharing with other bikers/hikers you won’t get much privacy and may need to share tables or fire pits. If coming from Seattle you may enjoy riding on Olympic Discovery Trail. The campground has nice restroom with hot shower, which was quite appreciated after a long day on the bike.

          Choose wisely

          I loved this place. Beautiful spot.

          My site was one of the closest to the bluff and in almost full sun (which I liked, because it was chilly). Others as close as my next door neighbor were in full shade with more of a forested feel. The website where you book your sites has excellent photos of each one, so choose according to what you’d prefer. FWIW, unlike the last reviewer, I had no mosquitoes.

          In the middle of B loop there’s a great equipped playground next to the bathrooms. Oddly, there were a bunch of older kids there on a field trip who were hanging out the whole day, made for a crowded and awkward experience for campers.

          On that note, there is a lot of day use at the campground because of all the scenic overlooks and trails to explore. There is some foot traffic through the campground; secure belongings. The gates are shut at 10 PM sharp, so it’s only campers inside overnight.

          Gorgeous!!!

          Very secluded, deep wood camping. 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. The bugs weren’t too bad with citronella bracelets and candles but bring bug spray if you like. There’s river access and lots of trails to explore. There’s even horse trails and a huge horse stall area for a group site/horse trailer.

          We drove past 3 piles of bear scat along the dirt road into the campground, which was fine. Our dog growled into the woods a couple of times while on some nature walk which was a little worrisome but with the right tools, actions and preventative things we were fine.

          Coolest Campsite!

          Loved my stay here! I did first come, first serve on a Saturday and there were plenty of spots at 1pm on 6/18. It was pretty chilly and windy, but the views were amazing and the sunsets incredible. I stayed alone and felt comfortable the whole time. Close proximity to neighbors but everyone was lovely. Highly recommend.

          Works for a quick overnight

          Traveling from Seattle, we stumbled upon this campground. Kind of confusing to find, it’s called “RV2” and you follow the signs to it in the fairground parking lot. More for RVs and not so much tents, we ended up sleeping in the car. Didn’t utilize the showers, but there was a port a pot for us to use. Camp host was nice, $25 for the night. Racetrack is loud but was expected

          Beautiful spot. Spots for RVs, car campers, tents you name it. We were able to grab a ff lot on a Friday afternoon in March. Pretty cold out there but beautiful. Water by the park next to the lots were off when we went. I imagine they’ll turn it back on as it gets warmer but there are showers near the entrance.

          Beautiful but Busy

          This is a small campground with 11 sites. Even in the off season, this campground was busy. During the day, people drove in and out presumably to look at the river, and, while we had the campground to ourselves during the day on Saturday, there were several campers Saturday night. There is good surfing in the area so a few of the campers were there for that purpose. Most of the sites are very close together with only a short fence between them and are not very private. If you could reserve a few sites close together, it would be great for a group.

          There is an easy, 1.25-mile (2.5-mile round trip) walk to the beach—trailhead at the entrance to the campground—that is really nice.

          There are 3 water spigots open year round and 2 pit toilets, one of which is open year round. One site (6) has hookups and a cement pad but the hookups were locked for the season when we were there. We were able to get about 1 bar LTE/2 bars 3G with Verizon but cell service overall was limited.

          The river was lovely but we probably won’t return to this one. Just too crowded for us!
