There is a two-night minimum stay required for anyone seeking to use the cabins.
Also on the property, visitors can find the general store where they can purchase things like toothbrushes, candy bars, ice first aid tools, firewood, camping essentials, and condiments. The RV sites and tent camping locations have free complimentary access to the beach owned by the establishment. For visitors who are not staying the night on the premises in any capacity—or for those who are staying in the cabins—beach access is still available for eight dollars per person.
Due to how close it is to the beachfront, guests who either stay here or purchase a beach pass can explore Crescent Bay, find seashells in the sand, and do activities in the water, like body surfing or ocean kayaking. Pets are welcome to join their owners on the beach and at the tent and RV sites for an eight-dollar charge per day. Guests also have the opportunity to go exploring inland if they would like. Olympic National Park can be found south of the beach and offers a variety of hikes and trails that can take visitors to several different locations such as Sol Duc Falls and Lake Crescent. Guided tours are available for those who would like a tour guide with them while they travel throughout the park.

A little way to the east, visitors can find the Camp Hayden Gun Placements, which are a historical location for the nearby cities. Even further to the east, guests can find the town of Port Angeles, which has a number of boat rides and ferries. The Black Ball Ferry Line can take guests to Victoria, which is in Vancouver Island, British Columbia. There are also many piers on the edge of the water that can provide good spots for taking pictures of the surrounding area.
Crescent Beach and RV Park first opened their doors to the public over 50 years ago. Currently, it is owned by a company called Secoda Inc. There are several historical landmarks that can be found within the area. One such place would be Camp Hayden Gun Placements, which was a military base that dates back to the Civil War period. The hill where the gun placements can be found was used as an outpost during the war, with the outpost being established before the town of Port Angeles itself. Another noteworthy mention would be Olympic National Park, which has a large number of trails for hiking and is based under Mt. Olympus' West Peak.
