The following reviews are from campgrounds, RV resorts and truck stops that we have visited during our travels. They will be listed in no particular order, yet will be listed with the nearest city first for those interested in stopping.

PLEASE NOTE: Reviews prior to 2006 have been completely removed. As of June 2011, I will add casinos to my listings for those wishing to blacktop boondock.

PORT ANGELES, Crescent Beach & RV Park – Crescent Beach is definitely one of the most central stops you can make while touring the North Olympic Peninsula. You can do everything within an hour or two from here! From catching a ferry (even take your rig or tow) to Victoria, Canada or hiking the Hoh Rainforest outside Forks.

They have restrooms, hot coin-operated showers, nice laundry and a small store with foods, snacks and camping supplies. The campground offers water, electric and septic. Since it is septic, you must dump (if full) before you arrive at the park, as they have no dump station and will ask you the status of your holding tanks. All sites are back-in with concrete entrance pad, picnic tables and fire ring. Tents and pets (fee) are welcome. There are only two 50-amp sites. No cable TV is available; however, you do get TV antenna reception from Canada (about 6 channels). Some other campers did have problems with dishes and cell reception.

They can be seen on the web at: http://www.olypen.com/crescent/

Ellensburg, Flying J – This Flying J is located off I-90 (exit 109) in Washington. This is not a “real” Flying J, but a franchised facility. It is very crowded and difficult to get a Big Rig to the fuel pumps. There is no real overnight parking available at this one. This Flying J is more of a “gas and go”.
