Review: Thousand Trails Crescent Bar 2024

Site ?102? | 8/25 to 9/15/2024 

Thousand Trails Crescent Bar has earned the distinction of being ‘one of mama bear’s favorite Thousand Trails.’  The campground itself is ‘good enough’ but…, location, location, location. Crescent Bar has some great tourist stuff, a golf course and the adjacent PUD park has a great paved trail for walking/biking/ADA access (our son has mobility challenges), several beautiful beaches and swimming areas. There are lots of Roadschooling options up and down the river and in the surrounding countryside.  There is a great farm stand for fresh produce just outside the town of Qunicy, WA. There were also lots of birds and wildlife to watch, with a great WA Fish & Wildlife Area with even more hiking, biking, backpacking and paddling. The boys also enjoyed the interpretive center at Rocky Reach Dam and Park.
