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

This an ideal beach access resort. There is a very nice pedestrian walkway bridge over a small stream and then a short walk through the dunes to a beautiful ocean beach. During certain times of the year vehicles are allowed to drive on the beach through various access points within a couple of miles of the resort.
We visited this resort during the off-season in November and during the middle of the week. There were only 8 other campers in the park with a few long termers. You can purchase a membership but it is not necessary to stay here. Visitors are welcome but it can be very busy during the summer time and holidays. I would call for availability.
This is an older park and facilities show their age but the bathrooms and showers were very clean. There is a dedicated tent only area and a few cabin rentals. RV sites are side by side and back to back. There is no shade. RV sites are full hookup with water, power, sewer and cable. There is also a dump site on location. Wi-fi is available for a fee, otherwise not accessible. We forgot to sign-in to our Winegard Gateway before arriving so we had data but no Wi-fi. Gravel sites with a little grass and fairly level.
Pet friendly but dogs must be leashed. Our dog had a great time running on the beach and walking the trails in the dunes.
Propane and ice available on site.
There is a community fire pit and portable propane fire pits are allowed at the sites.
Not all sites have picnic tables.
The town of Ocean Shores is about a 20 minute drive.
On site resort manager, Timothy and his wife, were very friendly and always willing to help.

Our Trip down the coast ended at Pacific Beach Washington, camp or rent a cottage and walk off deck to your own private ocean front spot!! Beautiful sunsets, though the coast can be cold certain times of the year I love the Pacific Ocean!!
LegendWe’ve been coming to pacific beach for years but this was our first time camping. It was nice to be right in the ocean. The wind is a constant and no water hookups but water available. No trees as it’s right on the ocean. We love the town of pacific beach.
ScoutThis State park is right on the wide beach in the village of Pacific beach. There are lots of hook ups for electricity to run your heaters in winter. Pacific beach has a coffee shop and tavern for dining and a naval rec center up the hill with a restaurant. Miles of beach combing, kite flying. Popular in season for razor clams, surf perch.
GuideRight on the ocean at Pacific Beach, this campground is small, but so close to the water. The sand is wonderful & the views are magnificent! No sewer or water hookups & no campfires except on the beach. Totally worth the visit!
Guide
A large grassy area for both long term and short term RV rental. What was nice is that we were spaced out during this covid epidemic. They also have some cabins and prices are reasonable for full hookups.
Legend
Nice small quiet park with a mix of tent sites, cabins, and RV hookups. Not far from the beach.
Guide
This made a great 1 night stay. Seems like they had a decent amount to offer. Saw some cabins and yurts. Bathrooms were semi clean, but sites were small.
Guide
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!
Ranger
Our site is one away from from the toilet/ bath house there are 6 combo rooms. There are 3 cabins, 12 full service sites, tent sites some w/ electric. Laundry 1 washer and dryer.
Scout
Only 16 RV sites, which I find is a plus. All have views of beautiful Hood Canal. There are several cabins on the property, as well as a small inn. Property is well maintained. Would have given five stars, if not for the noise from the 101, which is just feet away. All in all, a very nice campground.
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.
Ranger
Nestled along the west coast of Washington and open to Military and Federal Employees both Active and Retired. This Resort has 43 RV and 15 camping sites. Plus 28 house rentals.
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!!
Legend
When we go crabbing it is usually our of Tokeland. We checked out Bay Center and were so pleasantly surprised by this KOA. This place really has it all!!
-Full Hookups, complimentary showers, wifi, cable, and a snack bar.
They have clam beds just for campers, or a day fee for those wanting to rake without camping. Some of the sites are pretty open but if you went with a large family it would be perfect. You can only have 4 people to a tent campsite and 6 to an RV site, which puts some limitations on people.
They have spaces for RV's and trailers, tents, cabins, yurts and even have trailers you can rent to stay in on site!
This is a great spot for families who do not necessarily want to rough it and want to enjoy a smooth weekend being cared for by great hosts!
Legend
Hidden gem on the coast! Just south of Westport is Grayland Beach State Park. Perfect spot to dig for razors or to just get away to the beach. Great tent and yurt sites, lots of water access, and trails in the area. Visit Westport for a few hours and enjoy the small beach town vibe.
Great for families and short getaway trips, rain or shine.
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.
TravelerThis is the spot to camp if your heading to westport, wa. The A side, sites 192-299 are the best for summer camping but in the late fall and winter this side can get flooded out and it is often closed. There are trails that lead thru the woods out to the beach and for the less adventurous you can follow a paved road just to the north. There is a winery/restaurant within walking distance that was recently rebuilt. There is a gas station just down the road for the few things you forgot and right beside the gas station is a great help yourself firewood seller with very reasonable prices for the area.
The A side has two bathroom buildings with showers that are coin operated but you have to get coins at the ranger station at the main entrance on B side. Make sure you pick up a few to save a walk. You can also rent cabins or yurts on the A side.
The B side offers better RV access with hookups and a dump site. The tent sites on the B side are slightly more closed in with a cozy woodsy feel.
Bring the bug spray, the mosquitos can get rampant during the wetter times since there is often standing water thru the bogs and marsh nearby.
Down the road is the cute town of westport where you can catch your own fish or buy fresh caught right off the docks. If you missed Brady's oyster farm on the way in you can pick up some at Merinos along with a great selection of seasonal local caught fish.
RangerWe wanted a relaxing pre-Labor Day get away so we booked a tent campsite for the weekend at Twin Harbors. The campground was well kept and the restrooms/showers were nice and clean. The rangers emphasized no off-leash when we checked-in so we did not encounter dogs free roaming around the campsite, but it was an off-leash free for all at the beach. We unfortunately were surrounded by people with small children that ran around the campground climbing and shaking the trees, riding and falling off their bikes/scooters, screaming and crying a whole bunch for what seemed like no reason --- you know, doing what kids do. The campsites are stacked right on top of each other so there is zero buffer zone between you and your neighbors. So much for quiet, relaxing getaway. Luckily, the well maintained trails and the gorgeous empty long stretch of beach made up for all the chaos at the campground. Wake up early and you'll have the beach all to yourself! Also, bring dollar bills for the shower token machine. It does not take coins.
LegendWe loved camping here during the summer! It was cloudy and the air was crisp. Perfect getaway from the heat.
ScoutThis was a great place to get away for a few days! It’s close enough to both Seattle and Portland to make the drive fairly painless, and once we arrived, it was easy to set up in our stall. The full hookup sites were a great addition, and not having to worry about finding a separate dump station takes a lot of stress off our stay. The beach is beautiful, the weather was fairly nice, and the campground was chill. We also needed to get some work done, so it was nice having reception with T-Mobile to keep in touch while we were away. We look forward to having the opportunity to come back and visit more often!
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.
TravelerProximity to the beach makes this a necessary stop while exploring the Washington coast.

We love this area of Washington!
RangerI loved our night at Kalaloch Campground.
As we made our way up Highway 101, we were able to get a last minute reservation at Kalaloch for the night (which apparently can be rare).
It is about 11 minutes south of Ruby Beach (photos!) and has immediate beach access as well. There are fire pits, picnic tables, potable water and restrooms. No showers however. Its a pretty decent sized campground with over 160 campsites. No cell service at all which is good and bad (depending on if you need to to find the place!)
One of the only campsites on the west coast of Washington that is technically part of/near Olympic National park. We loved it!
ScoutThis campground is so slammed during the summer camping season that I usually do not get around to going. When half the loops close down for the off season is another story. There are some great spots along the beach, with in a stones throw from the Pacific Ocean. The bathrooms are clean, the showers have great hot water and it is mostly empty off season. The tree covered park is a great place to unwind when needing a nature recharge while away from the city! I love the beach and spend most of my time camping here wondering around in the sand looking for treasures or taking pictures. I usually try to plan a trip with my other VW friends. We share stores of the road, meals made over the fire, our love for Westfalia campers and a cold beer or two. The area has some great sight seeing, beach coaming, great little restaurants, hiking trails and long slow winding roads that call out to me. I make plans to visit at least 4 times a year and I'm never disappointed! I highly recommend this campground if on the Washington coast!
TravelerWe have been to Grayland now twice. Each time we have had a nice time regardless of the weather. Trip one was late fall, nights were cold, days were cold and wet. These are the nature of Washington coastal parks, just dress for it. Also make sure you have plenty of propane for the heater!
The sites really are nice, there are a few that get restricted reservations due to flooding (it is at sea level) or just a bit above. The reservation site lets you know on their website.
Westport is pretty quiet this time of year, but hang onto your hat during fishing season, Westport is really busy and a lot of fun! Try the donut shop for sure, I went there when I was a little kid and I still remember the delicious smell of fresh donuts.
Verizon was reliable. Hotspot was decent speed for streaming movies and work.
There is a hardware store in Grayland not far from the park entrance, they have EVERYTHING! Super cool people too! Good places to eat and drink as well.
We have two more visits scheduled for this year and we look forward to going!
