Fairholme Campground is located on the heavily wooded western shore of Lake Crescent on the Olympic Peninsula. It is the only public campground on the lake and doesn't accept reservations. Get there by Friday morning if you want to camp on a summer weekend. Lake Crescent is my favorite lake in all of Washington state, with beautiful, clear water.
Amenities: Beach with swimming and boat launch, water is clean but cold.
Flush toilets.
Fire ring.
Picnic table.
Potable water.
Firewood and ice available from camp store, open seasonally.
Site Separation: 3: Sites are close together but on multiple levels and separated by large trees. The heavily wooded nature of the campground prevents sound travel.
Site size: 2: Moderate, room for two tents.
Kid
level: 2: Families seem to love this place. Usually not crowded on the beach.
Camp host: 2: Present, patrols after dark.
Partiability: 2: We've been asked to quiet down by a night-patrolling camp host, quiet hours start at 10 pm. However, if you keep your voice down you probably won't have problems.
