Roam Beyond - Kalaloch

The Tree of Life, miles of sandy walks hunting for sand dollars, impeccable views and roaring sea...Kalaloch is one of the most amazing of the Washington Coastal beaches and campgrounds. I have stayed here many times, I have visited for day-use many times. It's just as downright amazing every stay or visit. Bathrooms are fine when people aren't leaving behind a mess (that goes for campsites too), but there are no showers available. The hosts have always been friendly and helpful. All sites have their own unique qualities, but I personally now AVOID the 4 sites in the loop directly above the Tree of Life because Google Maps directions bring tourists to the campground and we learned all too well, the traffic is constant and people have no problem coming directly into the campsites looking for the Tree even when occupied. FYI, the Tree Of Life is only accessible by the Beach- Park in the main parking lot and you have to walk down the trails to the beach to access, NOT in the campground. Kalaloch is truly magical and a Peninsula gem. Visit the Kalaloch Lodge as well for coffee, food, firewood, snacks, drinks camping wares or souvenirs.

I love the concept of Roam Beyond and really believe they do a great job bringing the leave no trace, sustainable camping lifestyle to people who wouldn’t otherwise have the ability to seek it out (whether for lack of gear, planning time, experience, or whatnot). It’s just so expensive and predictable, I have a hard time justifying it for travelers like myself. I would absolutely recommend it for beginners who are curious about how living in a trailer could possibly be comfortable, or are not willing to sacrifice the creature comforts they enjoy at home, or are weary about finding a good spot and making reservations and towing a camper out there. Here at Roam Beyond Kalaloch they have done a great job anticipating whatever you’ll need and having it already available, so you can literally just roll in with your Honda Fit and a few changes of clothes and be all set. It’s definitely more unique than staying in a hotel, but… that’s the closest comparison I can draw for this level of glamping.
