Ericsons Bay is a boat-in only campground and destination on Lake Ozette within Olympic National Park in Washington. As a large, natural freshwater lake, it offers a wild and wooded paddling environment. The primary access points for paddlers are the boat launches near the Ozette Ranger Station at the north end of the lake, which have parking and restrooms, and the Swan Bay launch located approximately 3.5 miles before the ranger station. The bay itself is a popular camping destination, featuring several campsites and the only outhouse on the lake outside of the main ranger station area. The shoreline is largely undeveloped, making good landing spots a challenge to find elsewhere, but Ericsons Bay provides a reliable place to pull ashore.

The paddling experience is characterized by significant exposure to weather. Lake Ozette can develop waves and whitecaps, particularly when winds of fifteen knots or more blow across its long fetch. Southeast winds, for example, can create headwinds and chop in Ericsons Bay. The lake's size and wild nature mean paddlers should be prepared for self-sufficient travel and changing conditions, with few beaches available for emergency stops. Motorboats are permitted but reported to be infrequent. A notable feature is a primitive, overgrown trail from the Ericsons Bay area leading approximately two miles to the Pacific Ocean coast at Sand Point; this trail is unmaintained, can be very muddy and obstructed, and is considered challenging.

All visitors must display a valid National Parks pass, such as the America the Beautiful pass or an Olympic National Park pass, on their vehicle. The area is known for wildlife including bald eagles, loons, and bears. The campground at Ericsons Bay is noted to be a popular destination for groups like Boy Scouts and can show signs of heavy use. For multi-day trips, it serves as a strategic camping location to shorten the final day's paddle back to the launches, especially when anticipating poor weather.
