Located less than 10 minutes from Lake Crescent, directly across US\-101 from Lake Sutherland, and 20 minutes west of downtown Port Angeles, Wandering Joy Campground is the perfect homebase for your Olympic National Park adventures\! Wander the property trails to discover giant moss\-covered boulders, aged big leaf maple, towering grand fir, and western red cedar\. Heavily forested with mixed conifer species, dense alder stands, and a rich understory, you'll enjoy a vibrant habitat for wildlife, especially birds\. We are committed to protecting the health and wellness of this magical forest and kindly ask that you pack out all trash, exercise extreme caution with campfires, be a respectful neighbor to fellow campers, and leave only good vibes behind\! PLEASE NOTE: \* We are primarily a tenting campground\. Not all sites are suitable for car\-camping/rooftop tents as the parking may not be level and/or large enough for your rig\. Please send us a message PRIOR to booking and we’d be happy to recommend any available sites that may fit your need\. \*All of our sites have their own shape, size, and characteristics, no two are alike\! Please refer to the site descriptions and pictures to assist you in choosing a site for your adventure\. If in doubt, just send a message and we’ll help steer you in the right direction\. Your experience is important to us\! \*We are a small, private campground\. As such, our site limits are set to 2 ppl, 1 vehicle, 1 tent\. You can select to add up to 2 more ppl on select sites, for an additional charge\. Our sites are simply not large enough to be considered group sites\. For your comfort, we recommended that you book multiple sites if you have a larger party\. As always, we can help you choose the best site for your party, so don’t hesitate to reach out\! \* 4WD/AWD drive recommended for Sites 9\-11 due to the steady uphill gravel access road\. Especially recommended for vans and heavier vehicles\.

We really liked that the campground had water jugs on stands for use to wash hands and clean items. Well maintained campground AND bathrooms! Trails right there off the campground. Welcoming camp hostess that knows the area well. Very peaceful campground at night. Location is ideal for everything Olympic Nat'l Park, Lake Crescent etc. We would definitely return!"

The port-o-potties were some of the most pristine ones I have ever been in though. The sites had non-potable water for boiling, etc., a fire extinguisher, fire pit and nice benches. The general store was convenient as well. "

Grey's Anatomy). My mom of 4 children brain went from having the usual 52 tabs open at all times, to 148. AT ALL TIMES. It's been a slow decent into a deep dark somewhere that I have done a fairly decent job keeping to myself, or so I thought. Until last week when one of my most loved teenage womb nuggets giggled and said \"oh no, mom's crashing out again!\" probably over the dishes not being done again.\n\nAND I DID. I lost my ever loving emotional shit. I packed a bag. Made sure the kids and house were safe and had what they needed. And I drove out of this goddamn town where everyone thinks they know everyone's business with no plan, no tent, no food. I remembered something about Lake Crescent having beautiful water, and ended up driving 6 hours, downloading this app to choose a random spot, stopping at Walmart to purchase a tent, some snacks and a blanket. And it was the BEST decision I have ever fucking made. And now, I'm on a mission to go on as many \"Crash Out Intervention\" trips as possible because I think I finally found some sanity at Wandering Joy.\n\nTHE TOILET - The cleanest, most immaculate port-a-potty my cheeks have EVER graced. 12/10 stars for the throne alone."
