Privately Owned and Operated
OPEN YEAR-ROUND !
As guests, we
welcome you to more than a half mile of pristine sandy beach, located on the
Historic Site of Port Crescent. This quiet stretch of beach once
supported a bustling logging community.
Today, the same breathtaking bay hosts Crescent Beach & RV
Park - A family park where you can camp for the week or just enjoy visiting
the beach for a day!
Our park is
located on the Straits of Juan de Fuca on the northern side of the Olympic
Peninsula just west of Port Angeles, Washington. With the Straits and
Vancouver Island in the foreground and Striped Peak in the background, it is
hard to envision such an epic view anywhere else.
The northwest coast offers some of the best fishing,
whale-watching, surfing, kayaking, beachcombing, bird-watching and nature
viewing in Washington State.
Our family park is located just minutes from the Olympic
National Park Visitor's Center and gateway to spectacular Hurricane Ridge.
Within an hour or two from most major Olympic National Park attractions.
Crescent Beach & RV Park is an ideal place to spend your vacation or weekend
holiday!
Crescent Bay's ever-changing waves
(from bathtub calm to crashing surf) provide plenty of year-round enjoyment for all.
The beach gets its name from the distinctive half-bowl crescent shape. A
beautiful one-half mile of this sandy beach is a part of the park.
The most popular activity is to stroll the private beach from one end to another
collecting the perfect seaside memento. Every tide brings in a unique
collection of sand dollars, shells, agates and driftwood.
Children love to spend their time building sandcastles or driftwood forts,
beachcombing, flying kits, writing in the sand or playing with the seaweed.
Most children are fascinated with the seaweed brought in by some tides.
The bullwhip kelp with its long tail, bulbous and fringed end is truly
amazing. Occasionally the narrow end will still be attached to a piece of
the reef. This makes for a great natural toy.
East of the bay, guests can see Tongue Point Marine Life Sanctuary. If you
watch long enough, you may spot a whale or two showing off! If you aren't
fortunate enough to spot a whale, you may catch a glance at an otter or other
marine life exploring the bay.
Due to the diverse habitat of the region, bird-watching is exceptional
year-round. An abundance of seagulls, shorebirds and water fowl makes this
a haven for birdwatchers. Yet you don't need to be a seasoned bird-watcher
to appreciate the majestic bald eagle as it soars over the beach meadow in the
afternoons.
Black-tail deer are often seen grazing in the beach meadow. An enchanting
sight, especially when it is a wide-eyed doe with a fawn or yearling.
And don't forget to pack those binoculars! The Straits host a colorful
array of modern super ships, cruise liners and submarines.
For the adventurous, don a wet suit and grab your surfboard to catch the perfect
wave - summer or winter! Or bring your kayak or canoe and launch from our
sandy beach.
Whatever the season, Crescent Beach is the perfect escape - for a day, weekend
or a week!
Crescent Beach & RV Park is a small, yet spacious campground featuring
over 30 full-hookup campsites. We can accommodate any size RV and most
sites are slide-out friendly (limited trees or obstructions).
Most sites have a panoramic view of the Straits of Juan de Fuca,
Tongue Point Marine Life Sanctuary and Vancouver Island. Many sites have an amazing view of Striped Peak and/or the Olympic Mountains.
In addition to strolling our one-half mile of private beach, we
encourage our guests to enjoy the outdoor scenery by providing private fire pits
(firewood bundles available), long picnic tables and beachside horseshoe pits.
The park offers clean, modern facilities: small office store
with basic supplies, restrooms, coin-operated showers and coin-operated
laundry. Our courteous Camp Hosts are on-site and always available for any
assistance you may need.
Our remote setting is a great escape; yet only minutes away from
modern services and conveniences such as fuel, propane, postal services,
groceries and ATM machines.
In the early mornings and late afternoons, you will see the
local Black-tail deer population stroll through the park, heading for the beach
meadow. Always a picturesque moment!
On a rainy day, enjoy an arching rainbow as it connects
Vancouver Island to Crescent Beach.
And each evening watch as God paints another awesome sunset across the sky and
Succumb to the Symphonic Surf!
