Kalaloch Campground is on the reservation system May 16, 2025 - September 15, 2025. Important changes to the reservation booking windows: To better serve visitors, Kalaloch Campground will be releasing campsites in a series of three staggered block releases by loop. These block releases will be 6 months in advance, two weeks in advance, and 4 days in advance. A and B loop campsites will be available for reservation 6 months in advance. Campsites A14, A16, A18, and A19 will currently not be reservable due to substantial bluff erosion. If these sites are deemed safe for camping after assessment or repairs, they will be released for online reservations within the 6 month booking window. This can be as late as spring/summer of 2025. C and D loop campsites will be available for reservations two weeks in advance. Please be aware that D Loop has experienced substantial erosion damage to the road and campsites along the ocean bluff. It is possible some popular bluff sites may be closed for the summer 2024 reservation season. E and F loop campsites will be available for reservations 4 days in advance. During the rest of the year, it is on a first-come, first-served basis. During winter (November - April), some campground loops are closed, but camping is still available. Kalaloch Campground is located on the southwest coast of the Olympic Peninsula in Olympic National Park, on a high bluff adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. Although campsites are not directly on the beach, several of them overlook the water and there is beach access within the facility. The campground is large and set amidst a peaceful, coastal forest that thrives on the region's high annual rainfall. Rain or shine, it is one of the most visited areas of the park.
Near the campground and lodge, trails and steps descend about 40 ft. to the beach. There are several beaches, tide pools, scenic overlooks and trails to explore. The Kalaloch Creek Nature Trail is a mile-long walk through the forest along Kalaloch Creek, which drains into the ocean. There are accessible lookout points at Ruby Beach and Beach 4.Kalaloch is known for birding; species such as western gulls and bald eagles are frequently sighted. Visitors may even spot a puffin. Fishing and shellfish harvesting is allowed under state and park regulations.Swimming is possible, however the Kalaloch area is known for large drifting logs that can pose a threat to swimmers as they wash ashore. Swimmers should also be aware of potentially dangerous rip tides.
Kalaloch has no shortage of natural areas to explore. The Pacific shoreline just below provides ample habitat for marine life: tide pools reveal crabs and sea urchins at low tide; sea otters float on the surface of submerged kelp beds; shorebirds nest on beaches; and whales and dolphins occasionally emerge offshore. Beyond the national park's 73 miles of coastline lie three national wildlife refuges and one marine sanctuary.
Olympic National Park has much to explore, including temperate rain forests, ocean shores, sub-alpine mountains, lakes and more. The lush Hoh Rain Forest, as well as the towns Quinault and Forks are within a 45-minute drive.Visiting the Hoh Rain ForestOlympic National Park

My partner and I stayed in The Rialto tiny house and it was so cute and something we still talk about often. The park is pretty small but the cabins in particular have awesome amenities - ours even had a hot tub with a privacy fence! The property had a laundry and dish room, camp store and gas station. Just a very short drive to Rialto Beach!!

There are lots of different options from tent sites to cabin rentals. Owners were very welcoming and accommodating. They have a veggie garden to share, lots of outdoor activity areas and places to explore within walking distance. It’s a great base camp for exploring the peninsula. They do a good job of providing privacy with the smaller RV spaces. WiFi is good, not great but that’s not why we’re there. We will be back!

What is the most Northwestern campground in the lower 48 you ask? Hobuck Beach Resort just west of Neah Bay, Washington is located "where the Earth began" according to the local Makah Tribe. This campground/RV camp/ cabin resort has a little bit of everything for anyone at any price point. Spread over two sites about 3/4 of a mile from each other this is my go-to surf spot to really get away from it all. Found one of the few sunny weekends out on the Washington coast to try out my new Goal Zero Nomad 7 Plus Solar Panel.
Campground Review:
For the luxury-minded who enjoy an actual bed and roof over your head 10 cabins are available at the north site in the park and 16 cabins at the south site. Cabins have their own bathrooms and can sleep up to six people, prices change throughout the year so check the website link at the bottom of this review.
For those who's camping experience includes 4-6 wheels there are 8 sites with full hookups at the south site. I have included photos of the campground map to give people a better idea of the layout of the sites.
For the full-on dirtbags and for those who don't require water/electricity there is a beautiful open field to set up shop wherever your heart desires or you can find room. The tent area has no designated sites and operates as a kind of "organized chaos" with people pulling cars over dunes into pits and getting sandwiched in when others arrive, so be aware of where you set camp.
Handy cans are located in various areas around the resort and there is one fully operational bathroom in either area. With that being said there is also only one fully operational shower in either area and it can get crowded/gross depending on the amount of people staying there. Expect to either take an ocean shower or do it at strange hours of the day.
Try to be flexible when making the journey out to Hobuck. Cabins can be reserved (and should be in the summer) but all other sites are on a first come, first serve basis. A use permit is required to camp on tribal land and you can get that at either the store in town or the resort check-in station.
The real draw here is the surf, Hobuck has one of the more consistent sets in Washington and surfers come from all over the state to check out the waves. In the summer and possibly other times of the year there is a rental shack set up by North by Northwest surf that can rent you anything you heart desires. If they are not there check out the main shop in Port Angeles on your way out if you want to rent/buy anything. The surf is pretty safe with really mellow currents most of the year so a great place to learn to surf!
Other things to do include hiking to either Shi Shi beach to the south or Cape Flattery to the north, both are fairly easy and Cape Flattery is mostly a boardwalk to the point. Shi Shi beach allows for camping but a permit is necessary as it is Olympic National Park land. Other than that Neah Bay has a great museum explaining Makah history and the Ozette village site originally located further south. There is also killer seafood you can get either directly from people in their homes or from Washburn's in town as well as day tours and kayak rentals to do some exploring on your own! 4/5 stars, it looks like their setting up to build more facilities in the north site (maybe more showers). If so I would give 5 stars here!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Makah nation is drug and alcohol free, I'm not sure if that carries over into Hobuck Beach Resort but PLEASE respect their wishes as you are guests on their land.

Product Review:
As a Ranger for The Dyrt I occasionally get products to test in the field, since I spend time outdoors for both work and play this is great for me! This trip I decided to test out the Goal Zero Nomad 7 Solar Panel.
I was really worried about bringing a solar panel out to one of the grayest and wettest parts of the US but the weather gods had pity upon my soul and gave me clear skies for 3 straight days out at Hobuck Beach.
The Goal Zero Nomad 7 was great! It gave me enough power to keep my tablet, phone and portable batteries powered through the weekend. I was able to set it up on top of my car and tent and keep things charged while I went out to my morning and evening surf sessions. I really liked the kickstand and "solar intensity" indicator on the junction box showing you how much juice you have running to your devices so you can dial in maximum performance.
The construction itself is super rugged, I wasn't worried at all about the constant sea breeze and dew that was ever present out there. It was ready to go right out of the box and is super simple to use, just plug your USB charging device directly in and your good to go! Bonus points for having 2 carabiners included so you can hang the panel off a backpack and charge on the go. I'm definitely bringing this product out in the field for work this summer and any sunny day. 5/5 stars

We loved our cabin and the cozy restaurant/gift shop. It was always quiet and staff was very friendly. We loved it here and the beach offered great tidal pools!
Guide
Absolutely beautiful.... the ocean with the crashing waves are so mesmerizing. Enjoyed walking the beach as well as watching all the surfers. Dog friendly.
Enjoyed ocean views from our RV site. Listening to the waves while drifting into slumber.
Many cabins with ocean views. Driftwood galore.
TravelerCan’t say enough good things. This location is absolutely beautiful, exactly what you imagine when you think of waking up on the beach. It’s right on First Beach and walkable to Second Beach. Friendly staff, hot showers, laundry available. You can even surf on First Beach! They have cabins as well as tent and RV sites.
Scout
They thought of everything for you.. so if your short on supplies, they got you covered. They have food, a bar, store, ice cream and more! Draft beer gets me every time! If it wasn't 5 hours away from home, I'd be back frequently. Next time I come, ill be getting one of the cabins!! Thank you!!
Legend
This place is glamping at its finest. It is located at the top of the Olympic Peninsula on Lake Crescent. There is plenty to do here from fishing, cycling, boating, and hiking.
They have small cabins and a lodge with an amazing restaurant. I recommend this to friends who aren't quite the rugged camper but still want to explore the Olympic Mountains.
GuideThis place has been getting more known as the years go by and also recognition from Twilight. This place is gorgeous with lots of room to run around, have bonfires, picnics and play in the sand. I love seeing the sunset especially at this place. Every cabin and campsite I have been to has been very clean. Everyone here was so welcoming and had friendly faces!
Scout
I stayed here the night before they were closing for the season (lucky!) Stayed in a chalet. Minimal amenities but perhaps that’s the beauty of it. An A line cabin on this lake with minimal luxuries just appreciate the beauty of simplicity. Opening the door to this incredible glacier lake is something dreams are made of. It really humbles you and gives you gratitude.
GuideSo we were here July 1-3 2019. There are two different areas to this campground. One is a very large tent camping area with no hookups and about 1/2 mi down the road is the RV and cabin area this is a paved area right next to the beach. Really liked this RV camping area. Bathrooms are nice. Pads are relatively even, the beach is right there so ocean sounds all night. You do need a Reservation use pass for the number of days you are there and it has to be displayed in window. You can buy it at the same time of reserving and paying for your spot. These are first come basis I think there’s like 10 spots. 30/50 amp, water and sewer are really accessible. Our only complaint is the ATV /dirt bikers would ride their toys late into the night revving in the parking lot and just a bit rowdy and rude. There are also realllly nice little cabins on this property too. Don’t know prices but well set up and probably very reasonable for what you get. I think some are set to accommodate an Rv pulled next to them.
Guide
If you enjoy a perfectly spaced concrete pads, paved roads, being close to all the chain restaurants type RV resort, this may not be for you. Otherwise if you enjoy really feeling away from the worlds chaos, being able to sit out with an amazing view and the loudest noise normally being the waves crashing, screeching of eagles and the occasional ship horn bellowing then this is a class A place! We have been all over the country and this is the place we always miss the most. You can stay at WCB in a variety of ways. Bring your own tent and stay on one of the waterside wood platforms. Bring your own RV and stay at either full hook up sites with both 30 and 50 amp available or dry camp. You can rent one of their RVs ranging from an A frame pop up to big motorhomes. There are also waterside cabins, tiny homes and a larger cabin. Really something for every one. AT&T service is decent, bounces between US and Canada towers though so be sure roaming is not an issue for your bill. The owners Tim and Rachel are absolutely great on top of everything else.

Campgrounds nearby were closed, so had to come here. Price for all sites was $72 after tax in 2024. Has electric and water, limited wifi in campground. Took site 31. Sites were close together but luckily no neighbors for us. Lake is nice, Lake Crescent is much better if you're looking for a pretty lake to swim. Big Sitka spruce nearby. 31 sites total. Some cabins and whatnot available. Expensive camp store exists.
TravelerTent sites are terrible. Really close together and no views. Cabins block lake views.
RV sites - are pretty tight as well.
The lake is beautiful!
Didn't eat in the very expensive restaurant. Found the manager - I think that is who they were - to be only friendly to some folks (not us). They did not provide information about the campground - like where the water taps are or where to dump trash. We had to use an RV sites water spout as we couldn't find a general use one.
The bathrooms have only one shower and only one sink. It is hard to brush your teeth or wash your face when there is a line of people waiting behind you. As well the hand dryer in both the men's and women's bathrooms were incredibly loud (all night long).
Trash and recycling were unnecessarily far away. So far - that when I was doing laundry - someone came into the laundry room to dump their trash instead of walking to the bins on the opposite side of the campground. For a campground that was purchased by the National Park - metal animal proof bins, I am sure, could be attained.
The price was okay. Obviously though, folks who were paying for the higher priced cabins ($270+ a night) - were the focus. Us bike campers were not well received.
But again - the lake is beautiful!
GuideFor scenic views this campground is pretty hard to beat. Lake Crescent is stunning. The water is very clean and great for swimming in August. The campground is not laid out well and the sites are small and close together. Prepare to be friendly with your neighbors. It’s alway a drag to flush the septic system 6 feet from your neighbors door... “howdy neighbor!” The staff was great, but the campground basically unpoliced, so you end up with noise and dogs running loose. There are a variety of cabins available, a restaurant, and nice gift area.
TravelerThe Whiskey Creek Beach NW campground is well off the beaten track along the Strait of Juan de Fuca with views of mountainous Vancouver Island, BC. There are a variety of funky tent and RV sites and even funkier cabins. There are flush toilets, showers, water and electric hook-ups. The uncrowded RV sites come with fire pit and table. The atmosphere is faded, low-budget but the hosts and the scenery make it a pleasant experience. There were a lot of happy young families when we were here. Full hook up RV is $63/night.
RangerPerfect PNW camping experience!! We’re right between wind-swept trees and ocean views. Walking on the trails you get to see rocky beaches, sandy beaches, marine mammals, birds, crabs, far off islands, lush forests, everything. If you’re really lucky you might see sea otters!! They have cabins to rent but we stayed on the smallest loop where sites were big with lots of privacy. Lots of the tent areas are very close to the road, but we didn’t mind. Make sure to bring good rain gear and stake your tent out really well (true of everywhere in the PNW though!!). This is a pretty simple campground but there’s plenty for everyone to do. The kids just played along the beach for two days straight :) We only got reservations because we were visiting local friends who know enough to reserve 6-9 months in advance, so make sure to plan for that!!
GuideThis place.... words cannot descibe the beauty and serenity you find here. First. This area is at the top most tippy top of the continental USA. The campground is located on the beach. There is hookups for campers, tent camping, however you camp. Firepits and picnic tables are available. Bathrooms with running hot water and flushable toilets are on site. Cabins can be rented. The beach stretches for miles. Surf, paddle board, kayak and whatever else makes you happy out on the water. There are two beautiful hikes available. One is Cape Flattery, about a mile and half. Mostly boarded and incredible Pinterest views. The other being Shishi Beach Hike. Almost 7 miles. Such a beautiful hike. Something to note: there isnt any fastfood once you pass up Port Angeles. Bring food, or shop at the tribal store. Gas is cheaper on tribal lands, public restrooms are not flushable past Port Angeles.
This place is worth the drive and if you have a chance to see go.
GuideFamily business. Super nice people with allot of amenities. Play equipment for the kids along with family outside & inside games. They offer free produce to the campers from their garden & free movie rentals.
The spaces were a little tight but for a few nights - it’s worth it.
LegendMy campsite was nestle in the rainforest and even though I was close to my neighbors, it felt very secluded. The campgrounds are located near Kalaloch Lodge which has incredible dining at a reasonable price. Even better, it has a wonderful outdoor patio that overlooks the mouth of the HOH River where you can watch amazing sunsets or go explore beaches laden with driftwood the size of jetliners!! Be very careful though as driftwood this size can shift and be dangerous. Walk south down the beach and you’ll find the cabins, a gazebo and people flying kites or hanging around campfires on the beach. The drive north is beautiful and hugs the beaches. Explore them all but Beach No. 4 has the best tide pools full of sea life. It is imperative that you go while the tide is going out (Ebb Tide) as it is easy to get stranded out on the rocks when the tide comes in. Have a tide chart and know how to use it. This is an exciting place for children to explore. I guess I’m just a big kid. Ruby Beach is the next beach north and has incredible sea stacks. Continue driving north and the road turns inland and takes you to the HOH Rainforest. Hike The Hall of Mosses trail sprinkled with woodland poems and the Enchanted Valley up to the waterfalls. Driving south, visit Lake Quinault resort area with a plethora of things to do. This is a place with visiting again and again.
LegendI loved it here, but it’s not for everyone. The layout is pretty funky, with the tent/car camping area being a big field with no designated spots, so it ends up being packed with cars and campers everywhere like a music festival. There is an RV area and cabins for rent as well that look very nice. Wherever you are parked it is a short walk to the beach, hence the amount of surfers. It is first come first serve, but with how packed it was when I came on a Friday and Saturday, I don’t think they limit the amount of campers you just have to find a spot. It was $25 a night for the “tent” sites and then a $20 permit (lasts a year) to be on the reservation since it is Indian land. There are portapotties around the camping areas which are all clean, and then there is an actual bathroom with one toilet and one shower indoors and one outdoors. Everyone is very friendly so being squeezed together isn’t too much of an issue. But be prepared for people to park right next to you in the middle of the night looking for a spot. If you want to fit right in bring a surfboard, because these people all know eachother. Us rock climbers felt a little out of place but it was still fun! Very short drives to Cape Flattery and Shi Shi Beach! Also a few good few options in town.
LegendLost Resort Campground is near the end of the road at Lake Ozette in Olympic National Park - super close to the official ONP Ozette Campground. While the Ozette campground is great because its directly on the lake, the Lost Resort campground is great because it doesn't turn anyone away.
There are some great, quiet and wooded sites at Lost Resort. There are also several very open areas where they can put campers who turn up when everything else in the neighborhood is full (ie. the NP campground and backcountry are the only other options here)
Lost Resort has a little camp store that's open into the early evening most days and serves full meals as well as coffees, espressos and has a pretty well stocked shop with camping necessities. Firewood is available for sale on an honor system even if the store is closed.
The campground is a horshoe/U shape up a hill with some private cabins that can be reserved. Sites are not numbered. Be sure to check that your site has a flat spot for your tent footprint if you're tent camping.
All sites have fire pits and tables and the ones on the far side are more wooded and dark if you like to sleep early or are hammock camping. Ozette was the only place we encountered mosquitos camping in ONP. (The store sells bug spray too).
The store also has wifi which reaches the closer parts of the campground. There isn't much of a signal anywhere in the upper NW peninsula, so this is a nice chance to connect if you need to research where you're hoping to sleep the next night!
There are 3 toilet options: One in the store open during hours, an outdoor full service near the store - open 24 hours, and 2 port a potties on top of the hill closest to the upper campground sites. There are showers available during store hours for a fee- 3$ if you're camp at the site, 6$ if you aren't.
Sites are $25 a night here (5$ more than the NP campground), and they take credit cards!
LegendWe were fortunate to have booked this campground six months in advance, so we got a great site that was next to the water and very accessible for our kayak. The site was close to the road and there was little to no privacy. The RV dump station was really well setup and the lodge with restaurant was convenient all though we never went there. The boat launch was well organized with different rentals. The lake is amazing with visibility of at least 20 to 30 feet. The only reason we wouldn't come back here is that you cannot reserve a site and there is a high probability of getting one that would not work for us. There were sites that backed into the restrooms and showers. That would be a nightmare! If we could reserve a site, we would come back, but not knowing what we are going to get, won't take that chance. Beautiful area!
Guide
Great place to use as a home base for exploring the northern Olympic Peninsula: Olympic National Forest and Hurricane Ridge, Dungeness, Cape Flattery (the northwestern most point of the lower 48), Forks (Long drive from Crescent Beach but a fun little town), Ferry over to Vancouver Island, and tons more.
GuideLooking to get away from everything? This is your spot. Drive right in and pick a spot. Most spots on A row are pretty choice. We got there on a Wednesday and got a good spot on B. Although some opened up in A, on the bluff the next day. The farther south you go in the campsite you can pick up some internet service. Or do like my teenagers and do some “exploring” which means walk down the beach until you get enough service to download movies to watch that night. 😂 But I did have to Tie in to a zoom meeting and the gas station 10 minutes south had 4 bars of att. No hookups. Bathrooms were real clean most of the time. Went to the 🚽 one night and there was 💩 tracks from 👟 👟 not really sure what happened there. Surfed 🏄♂️ ruby beach, saw the big cedars, and the tree of life. Other than that mostly just reading and stoking the fire. Saw whales 🐋 too.
TravelerDespite the poor weather, I couldn't have been happier with my Whiskey Creek Beach camping experience. From the views, adequately spaced tent sites, steel fire pits, potable water, picnics table, Adirondack chairs and shower access, this was a perfect getaway for this solo, 50-something, female camper, accompanied only by her chow-chow . I was able to finally fulfill my dream of camping along the shore.
One of the amazing features for those camping at the shorefront sites (T9, T10, T12) are the elevated, 12×14 decks that serve as your tent pad; No need to worry about a tarp placement beneath the tent. Metal cleets are placed around the deck stucture that you can use as tie downs for your tent and fly. These were useful for my additional tarp as I had to contend with mostly adverse weather conditions.The hosts have also provided, for your convenience, additional tie downs in case of high winds. Side Note: with the set up I created, I never once, had to contend with tent leakage, from the top or bottom.
There is a small, single shower hut apx. 30 yards from the tent site. It is an off the grid shower, but extremely clean, and has running hot water. The cost was $5.00 for unlimited use. The outhouse for the sites, next to the shower hut, is rather old, and was, in my opinion, the only drawback. There is, however, a newer flush toilet up a small hill near the site which I found myself gravitating to.
The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive. The area has a secure access gate. Firewood is available for sale at a cost of $4.99. The small town of Joyce is but a 10 minute drive where you will find an extremely well stocked old timey general store, two quaint resturaunts, and a laundromat, a huge bonus as I was on an extended stay of seven days.
For those inclined to explore the region, you are well within driving distance to some of Washington's exceptiinally breathtaking hikes, including Hurricane Ridge, The Ozette Triangle, and Cape Flattery.
GuideHuge campground with most sites in a densely wooded area with one side facing the ocean. The spots overlooking the ocean were all taken or reserved. I believe reservations were required until 9/15/21 after that is first come, first served. The spots were pretty close together but the trees and general growth provided great privacy. There are multiple trails from the campground down to the beach. Great for sunset walks! A short drive to ruby beach, the big cedar tree and Forks. Clean flushing toilets with access to water.
