Cool site! Everything was as advertised. We ended up sleeping in our car due to heavy rains but that’s no fault of the site, that’s ol’ Mother Nature doing what she does. Would definitely recommend this site, especially in better conditions.

This is a lovely spot with a host that goes above and beyond. We had two sitting areas and a firepit to use. The cushions and pillows were such a nice touch and the tables were clean and ready to enjoy. She greeted us with a very generous gift bag and an offer to use their adapter to go from 50 to 40 amps. The water view is beautiful. We would happily recommend to friends.

4 nights at Wandering Joy Campground

We stayed at Wandering Joy for 4 nights, and I am so glad we did! Erin was so nice, came and chatted with us and shared information about the land. The campground was easy to find, and very close to Lake Crescent. The campsites are cozy and just the right size for 2 people. The porta potties were spotless, and the campground was quiet and peaceful. We saw little critters and stargazed, followed a trail in camp through an old growth forest, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Erin!

A lovely spot super close to ONP. Kate was an absolutely fantastic host and you can tell she really cares about the space and the guests who use it. So many thoughtful touches that were noticed and appreciated. Plus the site offers water, trash, recycling, and 50amp power!

It’s absolutely perfect. The in a beautiful area, clean campgrounds, and the cleanest porta potty’s I’ve ever used ! It’s about 10 mins from the absolutely amazing and beautiful Crescent Lake and about 30 mins from town if you need any last minute supplies, but there is also a General store directly next to the campground. The sites are perfect, wonderful area for your tent(s) and equipped with a picnic table and fire pit!! I absolutely cannot wait to stay here again.

Loved tent camping here! The location and site were easy to find, very spacious and clean, large site, with new gravel and wood chipping. The portapotties were a short walk and the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Beautiful ferns and trees surrounded our camp. Great location for Olympic NP.

Sites 0 and 1 are great! Site 0 has a covered wood tent platform. Site 1 is the largest site, with room for 2 tents. The wood shaving tent pads are terrific. The porta potties are immaculate. There is a small market just past the entry to Wandering Joy from 101. We enjoyed the proximity to Lake Crecent and swam there every afternoon The only downsides to Wandering Joy are: No potable water and noise from nearby hwy 101.

It was amazing! A beautiful, mossy, green escape from busy life. We didn't spend too much time here because we had our days packed full of activities but when we did it was great. We had a tent and an SUV to camp in and the site accommodated both. And you can access the river with a short walk!

We had a fantastic stay at site 6 and would love to come back! Erin was so welcoming and friendly and puts sooo much love and care into the campsites and forest. The porta potties were also the cleanest I've every used! The sites all have beautiful thick foliage around them so feel private. I was a tiny bit concerned that the sites looked close to the main road on the map but the sites are set back enough and really feel in the woods that we didn't notice traffic noise at all. We loved our stay so much and highly recommend Wandering Joy!
