Less crowded places recommendations

Hello all, I am traveling to the Olympic National Park on the Memorial Day weekend for the first time (my first camping experience as well). I do realize it is a busy time for the park, and this was a last minute sort of trip, we will be staying at a campsite near Forks.

Can someone brief me on the most crowded and less crowded places/hikes to do in the park? My initial itinerary included visiting Forks, then Rialto beach, ruby beach, tree of life, hoh rainforest, then day 2 is lake crescent and everything around, sol duc hot springs. I wanted to check out the Hurricane Ridge as well but it sounds like both the ridge and the sol duc are super crowded around this time. Im also not necessarily trying to hit all of these spots but rather have a vague idea of places I can go to.

Thank you all
