This was one of our favorite camp grounds this year. It's pretty close to home, has some nice…read moretrailheads around it, and a beautiful creek bubbling in the background. The road to the camp is a bit of a trekk. It's long, windy, and much of it dirt with pot holes. There's also no cell service out there so be sure to communicate with anyone you're meeting shortly after turning off highway 2. The camp sites themselves are good sized, we easily fit 2 tents and our cars. There was a fire pit and a picnic table too. We had access to the river and enjoyed a nice cold plunge on a warm day. There were several hikes in the area to choose from but we couldn't turn down the incredible Lake Blanca, whose trailhead was only a few minutes away. We look forward to visiting this campground again next year.

The campground at Troublesome Creek is an absolute gem. Located about two hours from any…read moresignificant population base, accessible off of a (mostly) dirt forest service road, you'll marvel at the serenity of this idyllic campground. There are two sides to this campground, an east and a west loop. My spot was on the east loop, space 15 and I'd definitely recommend the spaces on the east loop, as they give you ample privacy with equally ample access to the creek and the North Fork of the Skykomish River. No power hookups means you can set the devices aside and worry little about what's happening in the city. Out here, the entertainment is happening in nature. Views of surrounding peaks, the rush of the water as it flows past and as night falls, the dotting of stars in the inky black sky will give you exactly what you need before heading back to civilization. Nature truly is the best. I'll be back to this campground again, no doubt.

Crystal-clear, brilliantly beautiful water…read more Lake Crescent is famous for its blue-green water and is one of Washington's deepest lakes. Surrounded by mountains in every direction, it's almost impossible to take a bad photo. Even in the heart of summer, it stays quiet, calm, and incredibly peaceful. You can swim, kayak, chase waterfalls, and hike around the lake. Trails range from easy strolls to challenging climbs. I highly recommend Marymere Falls, which leads to a beautiful waterfall, and the Spruce Railroad Trail, where you'll walk along cliffs, through old tunnels, and past the famous Devil's Punch Bowl. The water shifts color with the light - turquoise, sapphire, even silver depending on the sun and clouds. The lake itself stretches 12 miles long. The shoreline is largely undeveloped, with just a few hotels and restaurants. Make time for the historic 1915 lodge, a perfect snapshot of old-school National Park charm. Pro tips: the north shore is quieter if you want to escape from everything, and the west side delivers the best sunsets.

I want to affirm the other 1 star reviewer, Kimberely S., in expressing disappointment in the…read moreattitude of the ownership at this otherwise beautiful property. The geographical location is excellent. HOWEVER, travelers might want to know: 1. Apparently their strategy is to list their property on 3rd party booking platforms (AirBnb, Travelocity, VrBO) in order to fill their vacancies. However, they take no responsibility for how their property appears to customers on these platforms. The owner Rachel told me she had "zero control" over her own business, in spite of paying these platforms for their services. When I sent her screenshots of what I had experienced through Travelocity, she dismissively replied she "had done all she could to help me". 2. Travelers should also know that GPS leads you astray. I drove into the Beachcombers area by mistake and was met with some clearly annoyed, but ultimately kind neighbors who got me going the right way. There is some signage, but it still felt very unclear and confusing for me and I'm on the road quite a bit. (Especially when Google Maps is not telling you to turn). Evidently they do send out an email with instructions when you book, but when you aren't aware of this and book through Travelocity, the email got lost in my junk email filter. 3. There is no cell phone signal at the site, and no check in procedure other than to call/text Tim or Rachel. This is obviously difficult if you don't have any reception. 4. The hosts manage the property remotely, despite what they pretend. I know this from my own lack of in-person interaction with them, and while spending time at my site I was approached by a couple who had been driving all over the grounds trying to find help. They said they had repeatedly attempted and failed at getting in touch with whomever was running the property. They asked me if I knew how they could get in contact. (Sadly, I had to tell them the truth). 5. Expect to be 100% on your own for orienting yourself, aside from a passive-aggressive sign they inconspicuously post on the side door of an unofficial looking house. (See pic) 6. They list amenities (like showers) that that do not provide, and make no attempt to hide they never, in fact, intended to do so. 7. Because I booked with Travelocity, I inadvertently booked the ADA site. The listing had no mention of this, and which I had no way of knowing until I arrived. Based on my experience, I am convinced this is intentional on their part, so they can book it, but claim no accountability when you're forced to illegally park in the handicapped spot. 8. Site 5 (the ADA site) is the only site that has a port-a-potty, which you will smell for the entire duration of your stay. As other reviewers have said, the geography and physical location itself is stunning. Were it not for the hostile, and condescending vibe created by Tim and Rachel, I would whole-heartedly recommend staying here. There are ways to approach running a business in the hospitality industry. Empathy, common courtesy, clear and courteous communication. Unfortunately the current owners have instead elected to treat their customers as if giving them less than the bare minimum is something their customers should be grateful for getting. P.S. If you see a retaliatory response from the owners, go also read what happened to Kimberely S, and how they handled it. It should tell you all you need to know.

The listed address is inaccurate, because the closest town is Fork (22 miles west). Port Angeles is…read more45 miles East. The closest services are sound 7 miles east on 101 and then 12 miles up into the mountains (about 30 minutes) where you can get firewood, wine, and a few sundries at the Sol Duc "Resort" gift shop. There is also a 24 hour, automated gas station about 10 miles west of the campground, near the junction of 101 and 113 around Sappho. A greasy spoon called The Hungry Bear Cafe is just a few miles west on 101 with a full bar and American food. This place is in the middle of nowhere. Huge yet secluded campsites are shaded in by massive, old growth cedars and spruce trees. Many sites directly abut the Sol Duc River. We stayed on 10/14/18 and saw gorgeous, moss-draped yellow-leafed trees in full fall splendor by the river and a quiet, peaceful, mostly deserted campground. As at many national parks and forest service sites, figuring out and paying the fees at the self-pay kiosk is confusing and a major hassle. Be sure you either carry your checkbook or fistfuls of $5 and $1 bills to cough up the $17/night fee. Sites are all non-electric, with tent pad, firepit, and picnic table. The campground has pit toilets, garbage cans, and potable running water seasonally (it was shut off while we were there) which actually makes it nice because it thins out the RV and satellite-dish crowd. My partner and I tried to dry out her socks on the fire grill but it did not work. Instead we drank homemade bloody mary's and eat New York Strip Steak from my grill and took photos of each other holding pipes and pretending to explore things. We saw a site for a campground host and a bin selling firewood, but the bin was empty, and the site appeared to be deserted save for a kidnapper van pausing to turn around. Whoever was there must have moved on for the season. Honestly this was one of the most beautiful, quiet places I have ever camped. I will return!

He showed us the bathroom, shower and laundry facilities, then walked us over to the available campsites. The tent sites were quiet, reasonably private, and had all that we needed, including picnic tables. It's a family-friendly campground, with a store, a small pool, and even a small car-pulled train/wagon for kids. We appreciated the clean bathrooms and warm hospitality.

I read that they used to be part of KOA and had gotten awards for being clean and nicely managed. It's a little hard to spot off the highway.

The rec room and restrooms are located here, as well as the laundry room and a dish washing station. There's a large pavilion with tables that ppl rarely utilized because each camp site has their own table and little fire pit which is nice. I rented a cabin without a restroom which was tough for someone like me that needs a restroom multiple times throughout the night. My cabin was decently close to the main building but it was still rough to walk up there in the chilly night. Only a couple cabins that are much larger for larger parties come equipped with bathrooms. The cabins have one outlet, one overhead light, a porch swing, a little table, one folding chair, some pegs on the all to hang items, and a space heater. The tent sites behind our cabin had beautiful views of the mountains which was so peaceful (a friend camped with a tent at this part of the site). Another friend had their camper with them and another party had a cabin like mine. Overall, simply due to my personal issue with needing a bathroom, I've realized camping is not for me. Not in this setting where I can't use Mother Nature in the middle of the night without being indecently exposed :) There are also only 3 shower stalls which felt very limited for so many women on a holiday weekend. The space between the shower stalls and the toilet stalls where so tight. No wheel chair could fit through that aisle or swing around into the showers. The disabled toilet stall was also very small - again, a wheelchair could not fit in that stall at all. It was more like the size of a default stall and the "regular" stalls were tiny tiny. They do clean the restrooms often so it felt clean even with no many ppl in and out. When you order fire wood from the office, they deliver it to your campsite which is lovely but it is $9 for a small bundle ($4 for a larger bundle down the road form a local seller). The hot tub as shown in pics had no water in it (not in use). So if this is something you're looking forward to, call ahead to make sure it's up and running. There's also lots of construction at the main entrance so it's not pretty when you first pull in, but the grounds other than that are quite picturesque.
