We love this area! There's lots of parking, day use is free and there's some great hikes around the park. It's a beautiful coastal area as well. We recommend the striped peak trail which was beautiful. Great views, wonderful forest section, well kept and marked. Go have fun!

Gorgeous area and some neat history. We had a little time to fill before going to our Airbnb after Crescent lake and found this gem. Tide was high so we didn’t get to go tide pooling but enjoyed some trails and walking near the beach. Very pretty area

When visiting Salt Creek, keep in mind that most the beach is owned by Crescent Beach RV Park so there is a fee to use the beach. Salt Creek Recreational Area is to the right of the creek. The day we were there was free parking near the campground area. When parking at the campground there are three sets of stairs going down to the beach. We went down the most western set of stairs. On our prior visit, we parked in the “lower” lot just to the right of crescent beach and I don’t recall there being any stairs. There are tidal pools to search. We saw sea urchins and anemones. We were also delighted to see a family of sea otters run across the beach and into the surf. Bring sturdy shoes for walking over the rocks near the tidal pools. There were slight waves and we saw someone surfing. Even though the water was icy cold, our kids went in…without wetsuits.

This was our favorite thing!!! We got lucky and visited during one of the lowest tides in a long time. We were able to walk all the way out to the large stack and do lots of tidepooling. Such a cool experience. Only tough part is getting down the rocks at the stairs. Not for the faint of heart or slippery feet! Highly recommend!

Over the years, I used to “drag” my kids into the car to explore the state with me. Sometimes we found hidden gems, other times we just drove around and ended up with nothing more than some quality time and a few laughs. But one day, we stumbled across Salt Creek—and that was it. We loved it immediately and it quickly became one of our go-to spots. The park is absolutely beautiful. You'll find sweeping views, a peaceful atmosphere, and tons of wildlife—bald eagles overhead, sea life clinging to the island wall and rocks, and some of the best water views around. There's a nice beach here too—but fair warning, it’s connected to a massive stretch of private beachfront. And if you so much as glance in that direction too long, security might appear out of nowhere to kindly (or not-so-kindly) remind you to look away. That part is a bit frustrating—feels strange that someone can own that much coastline. Still, I won’t dock the park for it. Salt Creek remains one of my favorite places to visit with my kids. Whether you’re here to walk, explore, or just sit and take it all in, it’s a gem worth seeing.

*ATTENTION* NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH Salt Creek RV and Golf . I'm a local.. trust me I know this! There are TWO Salt Creek camping areas that are not that far from each other in W. Port Angeles, WA. Salt Creek Recreation Area is beautiful with an incredible view of the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Very family friendly, great areas for children to play in, the grounds are clean.. some great walking trails, old WWII bunkers... pet friendly too. They have a Plexiglas enclosed picnic shelter (with lovely stone fireplace for those chilly PNW days) that can be rented for family events also. When the tides are low the locals flock there to enjoy their awesome tide pools. Many locals will go camp there for a couple nights just for the beauty of the area. Our camper is self contained so I've never ventured into the bathrooms. There are tent areas, standard pull thru areas as well as larger sites for Class A RVs. The manager of the park can be a bit gruff and direct, but once past your registration and you're all settled in the views will take your breath away. The review about the o-t-h-e-r Salt Creek RV and Golf is accurate. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
