It's a beautiful spot. We were there in August and don't remember any problems with bugs. It is operated by Jefferson County. When we were there several years ago, they didn't have a reservation system, so reservations had to be made a couple of weeks in advance with a check sent via USPS.

It is located on the Straight of Juan de Fuca with views of ship traffic and Victoria. The sites are terraced so almost all sites have a view. We had a pull through site with no reservations. Some sites are back in. Sites are not huge and there is little privacy, but the view is worth it.

There is no beach per se. It's a rocky shoreline. There is a large grassy area with trees on the perimeter.

There are a lot of sites to visit within driving distance making it a good home base for visiting the north side of tghe Penninsula.

I have stayed there three times. No problems with bugs either. Nice park. Well maintained. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time to have better selection. The times I reserved was all by mail. Not sure this year.

Ditto on whAt the others have said. We were there for two weeks in May 2017. Didn’t notice any issue with Mosquitoes, ticks, or noise. The ranger was very friendly and helpful as was the WorkCamper. We will return to this CG when in the area again. Mid week we were pretty much by ourselves. Weekends got crowded, but that is expected.

I have never camped there but would not hesitate, the DW and I go there to picnic often (our SB is a short drive away). It’s a beautiful little park operated by Clallam County not Jefferson County. The sites are close and have fire pits so bring plenty fire wood. During the week it’s relatively quiet and mellow but like any park it fills up on the weekends with reunions, birthday parties...you might even see a car club drive up for a pit stop while cruising the peninsula. The picture IRV2 is currently using in their banner is Salt Creek.

there is enough of a breeze off the 0cean that bugs don't seem to be a problem.
it is a beautiful spot i am sure you will enjoy it.

If you want more breeze and an incredible view don’t miss Hurricane Ridge. You will need your toad though. The roads up are twisty and steep. Worth every minute.
