Neighboring Lake Crescent, Fairholme includes lakeside campsites and a nearby boat launch.
Just off Highway 101 at the western end of Lake Crescent, approximately 25 miles west of Port Angeles.
Great campground, clean toilets and very serene surroundings.
Thankfully this campground now has reservations.
The only downside to this is that for the walk-in sights, there is only one parking that is allocated, for a site that can house a maximum of eight people ideally you want to have more place to park.
The drive in sites are very spacious and can park multiple vehicles.
There is a general store that has a host of souvenirs, and camping essentials.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The campgrounds have wooden tables and a fire pit.
Beware most of these tables are not level.
The walk down to the walk in the water sites is very steep, take note of this especially if you have older folks.
You will see lots of fish jumping, deer and ducks.
A beautiful Camp spot.
Enjoy
Holy smokes this place feels sacred. Amazing! We stayed here one night and I was constantly trying to quiet my kids, it really has a special/peaceful vibe. Regular talking voices somehow felt loud. I felt like we were at an old library or church. LOVED it here so much!
If you are able to camp here, do it! Otherwise, there’s a boat launch area you can park in to come see the beach or you can shop in the gift area.
There’s also a few hiking trails but we didn’t check those out. AMAZING!
Overall, I had a great experience here. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the campground, but I got a couple of pictures of the lake before we left. Some things to note about this campsite, no cell service at camp, no showers, dogs on leash and noise ordinance, 6AM-10PM. I dont see the mentioned as negative or positive. There is quite the selection when it comes to campsites, i was in 66C, for my group and I, we found that it had plenty of space and it came with its own campfire containment along with a picnic table/bench. I found it very easy to unplug and enjoy the scenery with such a walkable area. I recommend being diligent with your packing, bringing everything you think you would need. Also, plan for storage in your vehicle, dry food goods, and all other foods need to be stored away from wildlife, the squirrels especially. One member of our party brought a boat, and we were able to store it at the dock. No issues or complaints were ever made, but there are limited cletes. Highly recommend this area for your camping fix!!
Absolutely stunning campground! Never knew you could camp so close to lake Crescent. I love this area. The lake water is pristine and the green mountains add to the beauty. It’s super popular so you have to plan way in advance and book as soon as the sites become available. Restrooms with running water on site. There is a general store just before entering the campsite as well. You don’t need the National park pass for this campground
This was a great place but maybe time has its affect on all things, the access is decent, as are the sites but maintenance and upkeep seems to be lacking. Still great views from the 2 foot docks and marina for canoe or kayaks. Did you see that HUGE tree?
