Comment

Fairholm Campground is located on Lake Crescent with direct lake access.  The campground has 87 RV and tent campspots.  The campground closes in late fall and opens in the spring(May-October).  Restrooms, drinking water, and a dump station are available.  All sites are first-come, first-served.  According to the NPS web site, “rigs to 21 feet can be accommodated”.  However, Campbase arrived in a 32 foot RV and fit into the camp spot just fine.  The park has a small camp store available that has ice and all the essentials.  There are no additional services near the campground, bring everything you will need with you.  This is actually one of Campbase’s most favorite campgrounds.  The lake and surrounding area are simply spectacular.  Spend the day swimming from the beach or rent a kayak and explore the lake.  All fishing on the lake is catch and release only.  A Washington State fishing license is not required in the national park.  

There are bears and mountain lions around the park, be aware, use caution.  The park also has mosquitoes so bring the appropriate protection.  Some campers use the sit in screen shelters.
