Summer in Quilcene Campground pg. 1 SECTION 2 - Proposal Questions Question #1 Description of the facility. Launched in 2016, this program has a nine-year record of success. The proposal is to continue LTAC funding for: 1) operating, maintaining, and 2) developing and improving tourism facilities owned by Jefferson County including: Upper and Lower Oak Bay Campgrounds, Lake Leland Campground, and Quilcene Campground. The facilities will be open for the season from April 1, 2025 to November 1, 2025.Without LTAC funds, campgrounds will close 2025. Supervision includes daily rule compliance by professional staff. The Parks and Recreation Manager provides a friendly welcoming presence in every campground three days per week by meeting, greeting, and consulting with campground users. Maintenance visits occur daily. Professional parks staff clean restrooms, fire rings, and campsites. Maintenance includes mowing, landscaping, and tree service. The campgrounds are in top condition and look beautiful and inviting. Our dedicated team presents welcoming, attractive campgrounds. Lake Leland Campground Out -of -county campers are seeking remote areas with fewer people. Lake Leland Campground is adjacent to the Lake Leland access area, which features a fishing dock, boat ramp, bank fishing areas, parking, and a toilet. Quilcene Campground Tourists from the Seattle/Tacoma region want easy access to Hood Canal, and the Olympic Mountains. Quilcene campground is adjacent to the Quilcene Ranger Station and a great base camp for adventures in the area. Quilcene Campground is minutes from the Linger Longer Marina on the Hood Canal. Active tourists love hiking the many trails accessed via Penny Creek Road. Upper and Lower Oak Bay Campgrounds Overnighters from Island, Kitsap, Clallam, Pierce, and King counties love these campgrounds. They feature beautiful views of Oak Bay, Indian Island, Marrowstone Island, and as far as Mount Rainier on a clear day. Saltwater access for paddle sports, fishing, clamming, and boating of all types is a main attraction. Oak Bay campgrounds are located in the heart of Jefferson County, just 2.3 miles (five minutes) from the commercial core of Port Hadlock, and 7.7 miles from Port Ludlow (twelve minutes). Twelve new electrical services and a new camp host site were installed at Upper Oak Bay sites in 2024. pg. 2 Question #2 History and Improvements. Launched in 2016, this LTAC program has 9 continuous years of proven success. Due to an oversight Parks and Rec did not apply for LTAC funds in 2024. Jefferson County was able to do a one-time emergency allocation to keep the campgrounds open and maintained in 2024. Major improvements were completed in the campgrounds in 2024 including: (a) new picnic tables installed at Upper Oak Bay and Lake Leland; (b) 14 new electrical pedestals installed at Upper Oak Bay (entire site is now electrified); (c) New camp -host site at Upper Oak Bay with better location near the entrance looking over the entire campground, power & water; (d) Upper Oak Bay completely re -graded and graveled. ParkMobile was added to all four campgrounds as mobile payment option. The option to pay with your phone has been greatly appreciated. Over 50% of campers are using ParkMobile. Cash payments are also still accepted. pg. 3 OAK BAY ' _ CAMPGROUND -J.Wersen [aunty pp Recreallon Upper Oeh Beyy Cempgrountl. 2vo Clevelantl 51 Purt LeGlow. WA New Mobile Payment System Started Summer of 2024 New Picnic Tables, Lake Leland and Oak Bay Installed spring of 2024 New Electric Services — 14 Upper Oak Bay Sites Launched April, 2024 Question 3, Marketing and Promotion. Marketing and promotions are 100% digital. The target audiences are: (1) the greater metropolitan area of the entire Puget Sound Region, as well as Clallam County communities such as Port Angeles and Sequim; (2) the entire United States and (3) British Columbia, Canada. The Puget Sound region is home to over 4 million people seeking high quality tent and RV camping in a rural area. Planning a trip and finding accurate information is a major barrier to tourism, especially new tourists. Tourists from around the USA and British Columbia visit Jefferson County Campgrounds. The timeline for advertising and promotion is year-round, and the campgrounds are open from April 1 to October 31. Promotion methods and partnerships ensure a broad reach including: 1) Partnership with the Tourism Coordinating Council. Jefferson County Park maps are available online at enjoyolympicpeninsula.org and countyrec.com. The Olympic Visitors Center staff are very knowledgeable about the county campgrounds. 2) Comprehensive camping and tourism information is published on countyrec.com. This website had 106,000 page views from 29,000 unique tourists between Oct 1, 2023 and October 1, 2024. A total of 3% of tourists were from Canada. Of the US tourists, 35% were from out of state, mainly California and Oregon. Of the Washington State tourists, 79% were from out of Jefferson County mainly from the Seattle/Tacoma region, followed by Kitsap and Clallam Counties. Countyrec.com is the top of Google searches "camping in Jefferson County, camping in Quilcene, camping in Port Hadlock," and other search terms. 3) Jefferson County Digital Interactive Map. This beautiful interactive guide shows tourists complete information about County, State, and National Parks in an interactive format. To view it click here. 4) Live support on the phone and in person. Knowledgeable and friendly professionals provide information and advice on the phone and in person at the Jefferson County Public Works office. Trained professional staff provide up to date information and advice from Sam to 5pm Monday through Friday except holidays. This service is rare and invaluable. Finding good information is the major challenge facing tourists. A central message is a "spontaneous trip", no reservations required. 5) Collaboration with Washington State Parks, and the US Forest Service. State parks regularly refers tourists to the Jefferson County Campgrounds. The US Forest Service Quilcene Ranger station also refers people to our campgrounds, especially since Falls View Campground remains closed. 6) Collaboration with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. WDFW completed a new dock, parking lot improvements, and a new toilet at Lake Leland Campground in 2021. The project is a major improvement to fishing, a huge draw at Lake Leland. The WDFW Lake Leland webpage provides up to date fishing information as well as a Lake Leland Trout Derby! It and can be seen by clicking here. 7) Free publicity in the Port Townsend Leader Getaway Guide 2024. Pages 46 to 49 provide complete information about our parks and campgrounds including a map and photos. This program is entirely free of charge. pg. 4 Question #4 Measurement of Effectiveness. The economic impact and effectiveness of this tourism facility in unincorporated Jefferson County is measured by tracking both the number of tourists, the number of nights they stay, and where came from for each campground. Park Mobile was added in the summer of 2024. Tourist can easily pay with their cell phone using eitherthe app, a call up service, or a website. Park Mobile accepts every major payment system including all credit cards, ApplePay, GooglePay, and QCQO O� county O, I n {.� PayPal. Park Mobile has been widely adopted by our campers. 8 (J l.1 I I (, In 2024, 86% of tourists in our campgrounds were from out of Jefferson County 49% of tourists came from other Washington counties, mainly King, Pierce, Thurston, Kitsap, Whatcom, Snohomish, Mason, and Clallam Counties 37% of tourists came from out of state.

Lake Leland is the only campground in Jefferson County adjacent to a large freshwater lake with outstanding sport fishing opportunities. Lower Oak Bay is located in a unique setting between a saltwater lagoon and the beaches of Oak Bay, but within easy access to the Port Hadlock commercial center, Indian Island County Park, and the beautiful state parks on Marrowstone Island.
