After a quick visit to the nearby Pacific coast, make your temporary home among the shore pines (ooh), sitka spruces (ahh), Douglas firs (ohh), and—wait for it—beautiful rhododendron hedges at Carter Lake Campground.

Folks out there with pip squeaks will fit right into the family atmosphere of the dunes side of the grounds (read: Universe-sized sandbox. Awesome.), while all you freewheelers might more enjoy off-roading, takin’ a kayak cruise, or keeping it low key as you fish for rainbow trout. What’s more, each site is furnished with a fire pit and a picnic table, paved space for two whips, and drinking water and toilets nearby. Peep more deets about off-season availability at the campgrounds’ webpage.
