Crescent Beach & RV Park

The beach is right across a quiet road about 100 yards away from the campground. Sites are close together on the sides, but have lots of space front and back lined up in a row. I had to use 2 sewer hoses to reach my septic connection under the RV. Not many sandy beaches near here so it gets a lot of surfers, kayakers and paddle boarders in wetsuits on a nice weekend that pay $8 per person to play here. Just to the east is a county park that has tidepools and great views of the Salish Sea. On the back side of the park there's a wetlands area that produces some mosquitoes but it wasn't too thick in mid September. Bring bug spray or hang out on the beach. Since it is a private beach it's pretty quiet and not crowded at all in September. Wi-Fi was sketchy in my site and Verizon was too. Don't plan on working remotely here, but why would you when you can hang out on the beach.

Such a beautiful place, but when we got out to set up camp, we were attacked by mosquitoes. We spent our three days here running from camper to car and vice versa. Great area to explore highlights of Olympic National Park. Beautiful location on the beach. There seemed to be less mosquitoes closer to the entrance because those campers were sitting outside!

We stayed at this park for a week in late June 2019. It is across the street from their beach on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Our site #2 was a back in which gave us a nice view of the water from our front window, especially the sunsets. We had FHU 50 amp and because we were close to the office we had decent Wifi. The sewer was strange because it was a sideways opening below grade, not a screw in type (see pic). We had to secure it together by putting a large rock in the hole. It was quite far back and required us to use 2 sewer hoses. Our power and water were on a shared tower. The site was grass, not level and had a very small cement pad for a patio with a picnic table. Verizon was 3G 1 bar and we got a message that said “Welcome to Canada”. The folks in the office were super nice. The sounds of the waves were delightful. We walked along the beach but it was full of seaweed that was covered with bugs. It was very quiet here!

The Sites are packed in here in the usual way, mot much privacy. However, there is a marvelous beach directly in front of the RV Park, reserved for guests only which makes up for the sites! The staff and the guests were really friendly when I was there (end of July 2018) so I am staying there again on my return trip in late August. Super convenient to Port Townsend for taking the fery to Victoria. Little touches like the floral painting on the walls of the bathrooms show that the staff here really care about the place. Laundry is clean and efficient, too!

This is basically just a line of RVs parked facing the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The spots are pretty standard size. But the appeal of this place is location, location, location. You are just steps away from a private beach and a public park. The park has some great tide pools, so if you time it you can go see one of the better tide pools you will see anywhere. The beach is wide and clean, and the sunsets are spectacular.

This is an out-of-the-way place with a big payoff.
