    Summer in the PNW heaven! We rented a small tent in Port Angeles, and drove to the lake here. It's absolutely breathtaking - so blue and clear, and shrouded by beaches and evergreens. If you do want a kayak rental, make sure to book them early :)

    On our way to Hoh Rainforest, my friend and I stopped here. The views were beautiful. The lake is vastly huge. I wasn't expecting it to look as good with the thick fog shadowing the mountains in the back drop. The visit was short, but well worth it. Parking lot off of the highway to see scenic views. The overcast helped the mountains look mysterious. I loved this pitstop.

    I was able to drive by this amazing lake on a few occasions going from Forks to Port Angeles and back on my recent trip to Washington. At 12 miles long, Lake Crescent is a pretty large lake. It is also the second deepest lake in the state of Washington at a depth of 624 feet. Lake Crescent is part of Olympic National Park. There are a number of pullouts along U.S. Highway 101 that you can stop and enjoy the views of this pretty lake. I really wanted to do some kayaking on Lake Crescent while I was on my trip. But because of time, I wasn't able to fit it in my schedule. There are a number of recreational activities that you can do on or near this lake including boating, fishing, hiking and enjoying the picnic areas. Fishing has a catch-and-release policy for certain fish. Near Lake Crescent is Fairholme campground if you want to do some camping by the lake. I personally enjoyed the hike to Marymere Falls that starts next to the Storm King Ranger Station. My favorite thing to do while I was passing by Lake Crescent was to just pull over and enjoy the view. The clear blue water with the sunset in the background made for some amazing photos.

    Lake Cresent is located in the northern foothills of the Olympic Mountains and is about 18 miles west of Port Angeles. The pristine waters of this deep, glacially carved lake make it an ideal destination for those in search of natural beauty. There is a peaceful feel to the area that puts your soul at rest. Canoeing is one of the common activities to do while at Lake Cresent to soak in the stunning views. There are several hiking trails near the lake. Some of them are shorter and some like Mount Storm King are more challenging due to the incline. Whether you hike or go canoeing, the views all around you are spectacular. You can also go out on a rowboat as well. There are plenty of picnic areas around the lake if you want to have a picnic or lunch and soak in the stunning views!

    I stumbled upon this dramatic lake on my way to an early morning hike - what a find! Mount Storm King keeps watch over the insanely deep, crystal clear waters which are surrounded by pine-covered, snowy mountains and all that magnificently moody PNW weather - superb! The lake sits right inside one of the northern entrances to Olympic National Park. I passed by it on my way to the Marymere Falls trailhead and definitely had to pull over and check it out - there are lots of easily accessible turn outs with great views. A bonus treat was that you can also access the lake around the Marymere Falls trailhead and parking too bc it's all sort of in the same general area with restrooms and a long pier that takes you right out into the lake. You get views of the lake everywhere so you can't miss it. This lake was carved by glaciers thousands of years ago and is crazy deep - measuring 624 feet deep at its max depth point. And you can tell just by looking down into those clear waters - even just peeking over the pier involuntarily triggered my fear of heights haha! The water is so clear bc of low nitrogen levels inhibiting algae growth. You can swim here but it's glacially fed so the water is very cold - be aware. I visited in winter so definitely not an option but would love to come back in warmer months and give it a try just to see how cold it gets lol. You can see lots of boulders and giant trees in the bottom - would be such an intriguing place to snorkel! Another fun fact - bc a landslide closed off the lake to streams and other nearby lakes, there are two unique species of trout that have evolved here! There's a lodge on the lake that rents canoes/kayaks and swimming in the "Devils Punchbowl" is popular - definitely would love to come back and try that haha! Very much worth a visit and I will no doubt return to explore - highly recommend a stop at this true Pacific Northwest beauty!

    Lake Crescent is absolutely GORGEOUS. You can see it from the main highway as you're driving through Olympic NP. And while that view is beautiful, you need to plan part of your day around the lake to really enjoy its natural beauty. We stayed at the Fairholme campgrounds, and it was a short couple minute walk from our campsite to the lake edge. It was so peaceful to sit and enjoy, especially if you're there for sunrise. The Lake Crescent Lodge is also at the water's edge. We saw people swimming from there, and they also have a bar with some outdoor seating facing the lake. There are also some wonderful hikes originating from there that really showcase the lake. If you're feeling spicy and up for a strenuous hike (think a step climb the entire way of about 2,1000 feet), the Storm King hike is rough and involves some rope climbs. However, once you make it to the top, you'll be more than 2,000 feet over Lake Crescent and the view is unparalleled. Words (and pictures) do not do it justice. While we didn't do it, I did hear that there is about an 8 mile easy hike that walks the circumference of the lake if you want to enjoy it that way. However you choose to take in Lake Crescent, it is well worth the time spent.

    100% yes!!! This place is so breathtaking. I had so much fun. The water was so clear . We got luck with perfect weather

    Beautiful and clear lake Of the weather is nice I recommend renting a kayak to explore. There is a dock by the lodge where you can walk out into the water. When you look down you can see to the bottom. The lake is surrounded by mountains. It is very peaceful and serene with little tourism to obstruct the view.

    It's a beautiful lake with water in the right temperature, not too cold but good enough to cooling off in the 90+ hot summer days. The view is gorgeous and water is clear. There's a lodge nearby which's great to visit the bar and souvenir shop and use the washroom

    That's the water's natural color!

    Lake Crescent wins for being the most stunning body of water that I've ever seen in person! Have you ever looked at a photo and wondered if the image has been enhanced to make the colors pop? Well, there's no need to Photoshop pictures of this lake! The water is super clear and the most gorgeous color of natural blue-green. A couple minutes drive from the Lake Crescent Lodge, there's a boat launch area near the Marymere Falls trailhead. While you wouldn't set your towels and chairs out in this area, it's well worth stopping by for a lovely view of the lake away from most other visitors. On a weekday morning, except for a couple of swimmers jumping from the dock, we were the only ones there. We spent a few moments admiring the glistening water and listening to the gentle waves. After this, we headed over to the side of the Lake Crescent Lodge. This is a super busy area, especially since it's where all the little cabins are located. Despite the crowds on the shoreline, this is a prime place to capture photos of the calm water with hills of trees in the background. We did not have a ton of time, so we walked the "Moments in Time" trail, which is just a 0.6 mile loop starting adjacent to the lake and going through the forest. Little plaques are posted along the path, providing history behind the land and facts about the trees and wildlife. This is a really tame walk that is suitable for any age. There are restrooms located inside the lodge, but they are small, so expect a wait. The lodge also has a restaurant, gift shop and little sitting area. If you're planning to be around Port Angeles, definitely put Lake Crescent on your itinerary!

    Lake Crescent is located in Olympic National Park about 20 minutes from Port Angeles. It has a max depth of 624 feet and is the second deepest lake in Washington State (behind Lake Chelan). Even if you don't go to the lake you'll most likely drive by it to get elsewhere because it's so gigantic. To get to the lake, drive down a long narrow road. There are parking lots and restrooms at the trailhead and is about a mile to the lake. It was less of a hike and more of a stroll because the ground was mostly paved and flat. This hike was actually wheelchair accessible which was rare for me to see. When you get to a tunnel, go to the left to walk to the lake and you'll end up on a bridge that overlooks the lake. The water was BLUE and CLEAR. There were beautiful views of the lake and there were very few people which was peaceful. It made for a great backdrop for photos and I was just staring at it because it was so mesmerizing. As we looped back around we found that you can still go through the tunnel and get to the lake too. If you want, you can even continue walking to go further past the lake. If you want to play in the lake you can head to Devils Punch Bowl to swim and do other water activities. It's seriously such a beautiful place and I highly recommend coming here!

    Lake Me Out Amazing Lake that's located in the north end of Olympic National Park and just a short drive from Port Angeles. We only stopped at one of the lookouts to gaze at its beauty when Mr & Mrs Quack flew over to greet us. They posed for a few pics and moved on shortly afterward since we had no goodies for them. Beyond the friendly natives, this Lake has boat launches at the east and west ends of the lake, where vacationers can launch kayaks, boats or even rent rowboat from the Lake Crescent Lodge. There's also beaches and picnic tables for those who prefer to stay landside. We can't wait to check out more of this beautiful Lake on subsequent visits, as well as catch up with the Quacks. Say hi for us if you see them!

    Such a beautiful lake. We were there hiking to Marymere and roaming on the nature trails from the Rangers Station and around the lodge. Even on a very cloudy day it was obvious how stunning the water is. Just a gorgeous spot, lovely trees for days, and a peaceful drive around the south shore. Much bigger than I expected. Cannot wait to put the kayak in!

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!

After getting set up we enjoyed a restful and quiet night. The bathrooms were well maintained and there was also water for cleaning our dishes.

    Firstly, several of these reviews are for the wrong hot springs. If a review mentions a restaurant,…read moreor a resort, or a time slot, they are referring to the SOL DUC hot springs, not these ones. Also, the reviews that mention that the hike is easy are all outdated! It's a slog to get there! The Olympic hot springs are a 12 mile hike mostly uphill. It used to be a much shorter hike but about five years ago the road washed out and you now have to hike an extra 8 miles... 12 miles total... one way. It's a slog! The springs themselves, while pretty, are shallow, muddy, slimy, and overall pretty gross. The signs warn of fecal bacteria. If you're hoping to hike 12 miles to soak in pristine pools, think again. Nudity is common. If anyone is actually using the hot springs, they will likely be nude. Get over it!! Let the nudists have their place... and 12 miles deep in the woods is a nice place to be nude. You might also see nudists hiking or biking on the trail to the hot springs. It's not common but does happen occasionally. Just smile and say hi! The hike starts off easy on a paved road for about 3/4 of a mile. Then you have to use a single-track dirt bypass trail that is steep and rooty. If you're using a bike you'll be pushing and carrying it over things. Then you're put back on an old paved road again. It's another 2 miles to the Glines Canyon overlook which is fun to see. Then it's another 5 miles on the same road, but now 100% uphill and sometimes steep, just to reach the trailhead. Once at the trailhead, you're already over 8 miles into it and you have another 2.5 or so to hike... bikes not allowed. You have to park at the Madison Falls parking lot. You're supposed to have a National Park pass.

One of the two toilets in the tent camping area was out of order for our whole stay (2 days) and the Port-a-potty was full. Very full. For two days. This campground sells out *every summer*; it should not be a surprise to them that they are fully occupied and need to provide adequate sanitation facilities for the people in the 31 tent sites. And in fact, they know that the sanitation is inadequate, because they mentioned it in the notice on the the toilet door: "Due to high volume during summer months, our vault toilets may experience overuse. We schedule two cleanings a day but encourage guests to take full advantage of the flushable toilets, showers, and rinse station located at the east / RV side of the park." The RV side of the park provides a whopping 3 toilets for women, and 2 toilets and a urinal for men. Given the swarms of mosquitoes, its not a delightful walk over to the RV side. Nor is it delightful to have to use a full Port-a-Potty when you are paying $45 a night for a tent camp site. The location is not enough of a redeeming factor for us, we will not be back.

    This was a really great KOA for families that love to camp. At the main registration building is a…read morelittle store that's packed with tons of goodies from staples to snacks and pool toys. 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.
