Management here is better than most places, and I love waking in the mornings to the call of the Bald Eagles overhead. The view of the lake from our spot is spectacular. For those out there thinking that we are a small community of dumpy rvs and the like, that just goes to show the type of people that you are.

Management here is better than most places, and I love waking in the mornings to the call of the Bald Eagles overhead. The view of the lake from our spot is spectacular. For those out there thinking that we are a small community of dumpy rvs and the like, that just goes to show the type of people that you are. Maybe find some high-class Hilton to stay next time, because clearly you don't belong out here. To the Management here. I apologize if this upsets anyone, but these are not the kind of people you want here anyway. All they do is complain behind your backs. Sure it starts out with compliments, shmoozing and drinks. Maybe even a meal. But as soon as your backs are turned... This is true, and this truth telling tenant of yours will never steer you wrong. Reading people is what I do. Blessed be to all, and to Salmon Shores!

This was the best and cheapest spot on an RV tour around Olympic National Park . We were right on the lake. Watched Ospreys and slept very peaceful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Their dock was busy with fishermen, everything was well taken care of. A small family business. There are permanent residents, too!

Have a great spot overlooking the lake. Park managers are very friendly and helpful. Internet is hard to get and when you do get it it's very slow other than that it's a beautiful spot to look at the lake
