Kalaloch Campground is on the reservation system May 23, 2024 - September 23, 2024. 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 of 2024. 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

Unless you manage to get one of the nice spots, you’re essentially paying a premium to park on grass with no privacy. It’s a beautiful area: but pick your site wisely.
Scout
The layout of this campground packs sites too close together. It feels more like tailgating in a parking lot than camping. Other than that, this park is pretty great. It's a very short walk to the beach and a stone's throw from Westport. It's even got some decent trails for hiking around a bit. The bathrooms are pretty standard fare for state Park bathrooms, however, the free showers were a great plus.
Scout
James and Jordyn were so helpful and accommodating to any need that arose. The nearness of the trail to the beautiful beach was a huge plus. Super relaxing ...hope to return soon!
Traveler
This is not Curlew Lake in Eastern Wa. This is Ilwaco near the Columbia River in the SW corner of Wa. We came to this campground by the lovely pictures of a large lake, nice camping sites etc. The Pro's: easy check-in Walking distance to the town and Marina. Close to Cape Disappointment State Park There is a laundromat. Cons: this is a fisherman's park. The sites are close together. No picnic tables at our sites. $59 is too expensive. Bad advise from the previous reviewer!!!
Traveler
This campground was in the perfect location. There are sites on the Bluffs or in the forest, but either way it's a short walk to the beach. Many sites were pretty small. We had 2 large tents and that was tight, but one large tent would be fine.
Traveler
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.
TravelerA friend told us it was first come first served. Learned our lesson, make a reservation Get sites away from the road. It's noisy.
Scout
Clean bathrooms and showers Heated pool is nice Wonderful trail to the beach Friendly staff
Scout
The location is perfect, with an easy walk to the beach, making it ideal for those who love the ocean.
The campground offers a variety of amenities, including a pool and hot tub, which are perfect for relaxing after a day of activities. For pet owners, there's a convenient dog park where dogs can run and play.
The RV sites nice, but not very spacious. It is super nice that full hook-ups are standard. Tent sites are also available and offer a comfortable camping experience.
Traveler
I stayed June 16th-19th is was really nice weather and I had a spot overlooking the beach. The campground was clean and the access to the beach was amazing.
Site are a little close but not too bad.
Would go back again.
GuideThe wildlife is prolific, so no standing garbage collection can accept at the Corner Store. Which has fair prices and ice. I would ask for a camp site on high ground to distance the camp from the Mosquito breeding grounds.
TravelerLarge campground with a ton and of unique spots. Tree of life within 150 yard walk from anywhere in the campground. Many sites on bluffs overlooking the pacific. A few water view spots have been permanently closed for risk of collapsing. We got here around 11am on a Friday and the campground filled up very fast not long after that. Get here early!
RangerWe had an awesome 2 night stay in site 103B. This site fit our needs well and was about 50 steps from Benson Beach. About 2.5 miles long and a jetty at the end. Light house , lots of trails! Just beautiful. We did not have WiFi or Verizon cell at this site.( not a problem)!
TravelerThis is one of our favorite campsites to visit year-round. If you can get a spot during the warmer summer months, yay! If not, we've still enjoyed it during the more "off-season", both February and October :).
All their spots are great, it just depends on what you're looking for. They have full hookups, partial hookups, and dry spots - FYI the dry spots are the ones with closest access to the beach.

GuideLove this campground. It’s a hidden gem. I wish we would have taken photos, but trust me. It’s gorgeous
LegendOnce we got near Ilwaco, we followed the state park signs to the campground(CG). Check-in was quick, but the camp host checking us in noted we were an hour early, so our campsite may not be cleaned and someone could be in the site. When we got to back-in site A57 with FHUs, there was no one there, and the campsite had been cleaned. As the loops at this state park are in a circle, the sites are easy to line up for a straight back in. Our asphalt site was level with the water and electric in the middle of the pad and the sewer at the back. We needed about 20 feet of sewer hose. The sites are decently spaced and for the most part, shaded by mature trees. We were able to get a usable Starlink north shot out of the back of the site. Satellite could be iffy depending on the site. Sites towards the front of the loop probably have the best chance for satellite as they are near the road. Water pressure was good at about 55 psi. We sometimes got 1 bar on Verizon, but to make a phone call, we had to drive to Ilwaco. We noticed that camping at the beach for Thanksgiving is a“thing” in this area, as the CG was full. There were deer milling around the CG and they did not seem concerned that we were there. We enjoyed walking our pups on the dog-friendly beach. The lighthouses were enjoyable as well, especially the views. A few amenities are nearby in Long Beach, but for the most part, you’ll need to drive about 30 minutes into Astoria/Warrenton, OR. A walk along Long Beach’s boardwalk was worthwhile, especially the whale display with an actual whale skeleton.
RangerPros: clean, well-maintained sites. Visible park rangers who were friendly and helpful. Close to the beach. Lots of amenities and trails.
Cons: (1) the electricity is not consistent and it is weak. Like you can’t run your microwave and your electric water heater at the same time weak. Make sure you have a surge protector/line conditioner on your electrical hookup because you could seriously damage your rig plugging into this park’s electrical. (2) no cell service. Not a single bar of Verizon LTE anywhere in this campground. This wouldn’t be a big deal if we were expecting that kind of experience but, to the contrary, the Dyrt’s listing for this campground says Verizon service is good. It is not only not good, it is nonexistent. (3) once you enter the park, there are no signs directing you to the campground. The address in the confirmation email sent after we reserved our spot was not anywhere near correct. Luckily there were 2 park rangers there when we pulled in who helped us get un-lost. This is a huge state park so it is unacceptable not to have any signs that even say “campground” with an arrow. There are signs for everything else, just not the campground.
RangerThis is a tough review to write. Honestly, the location and campground are wonderful. It was the lack of signage and a miserable staff that made my stay there challenging. It was Halloween and the campground was empty. I have a serious health issue that makes moving a bit rough. Twice when we were parked briefly to unload heavy groceries and then to take a quick phone call (wifi spotty), the militarized rangers came screeching up threatening to ticket us. I almost missed the incredible interpretive center due to lack of signage, it wasn’t obvious on their map and no one mentioned it when we checked in. But don’t let this review stop you. It’s still a great park.
GuideCamping right on the ocean it was lovely we watched the sun set it wasn't the cheapest campsite we've been to but it was worth in it had great amenities and tho it wasn't right on the ocean it was only a short walk I would love to stay again in the future
Ranger
This is a big park with plenty of tent and RV sites. Little expensive, but had clean showers and bathrooms, a grocery store right across the street, and walkable to the ocean. Only giving it 3 stars cause the guy who ran it was a lil rude to us.
ScoutWas there for a one night and the lady in the check in office was very nice explaining me what site I was going to be in and she was saying how her husband was going to explain how to pull in and I get to the site and he starts throwing hand signals that I didn’t understand so I got off and asked him what he wanted me to do and he started yelling in my face and started telling me I couldn’t use my atvs and which I was aware off and also said I couldn’t use my bikes.
Legend
This was the first time that we had ever stayed at a KOA, so we were apprehensive. We were greeted by Karen who was so nice and helpful. Our firewood was delivered by Dennis, who was always helpful. We loved our site which offered privacy and close proximity to the trailhead to the beach which was fantastic. Karen set us up with"Clamming 101". We purchased the clamming package which had everything down to the wine and garlic to cook our intended bounty. At first I thought maybe it was wishful thinking, but we caught our limit. We purchased our license online at the campground. The WiFi worked pretty well overall. No complaints and nothing but compliments to the staff at this campground. We will be back!
Traveler
We were surprised when we pulled off to find such a nice place to camp. Great tent sites and free hot showers. Would definitely come back!
Guide
We came in late and the owner/operator was very helpful and found us the last dry camping site available. The next day we moved into a different site on the property with a great view of the campground. Just a five minute walk from the beach.
RangerThe site was small, but the beach access was amazing.
TravelerThe campground was nice and well maintained. Having the beach close by made for amazing white noise when your going to sleep. We had a great time relaxing and exploring.
