Third Beach Camping — Olympic National Park
Third Beach Camping in Olympic National Park offers a coastal terrain with sandy shores and forested areas. Temperatures range from 40°F to 70°F, depending on the season. Nearby, visitors can explore the scenic trails of the park and visit the tide pools along the Pacific Ocean.
Description
Campsites: There are a few campsites off the beach in the forest but most camping is on the beach above high tide. During summer, camping space can be scarce! This is some of the best beach camping Washington has to offer.
Toilet Facilities: Pit toilet where the trail meets the beach.
Water Source: Most coastal water sources have a tea-stained appearance. The light tan color originates from tannin leached from leaves. Cryptosporidium and giardia exist in coastal lakes, streams, and rivers. Always filter or boil water. Iodine is ineffective against cryptosporidium.
Permits/Reservations: Obtain permits at the WIC in Port Angeles or the South Shore Lake Quinault Ranger Station. No reservations for South Coast.
Group Size Restrictions: Groups are limited to no more than 12 people. Associated groups of more than 12 must camp and travel at least 1 mile apart and may not combine at any time into a group of more than 12.
