Gate-down and closed since August 2018, Klahanie sits in forested terrain along a river corridor within Olympic National Forest, managed by the US Forest Service. The campground includes picnic tables, toilets, and fire rings, with drive-in access for vehicles up to 21 feet. Cell service is unavailable on site. Campers researching campsites near Olympic National Forest may find it worth checking whether the site has reopened, as designated campgrounds in this part of the peninsula are sparse during peak season. Nearby, Calawah River Pull-Off on Forest Road 2932 offers a potential alternative while Klahanie remains gated.
Description
Klahanie is located on the South Fork Calawah River and has a typical temperate coastal rainforest canopy, including old growth spruce over 8’ in diameter, hanging mosses and a lush carpet of wood sorel and sword fern. Klahanie provides a beautiful, inexpensive “base camp” to explore the unique shops and calendar events of Forks, as well as the spectacular surrounding landscapesounds. It is 20 minutes from the rugged Pacific Ocean coast and LaPush cultural center for the Quileute People, 25 minutes from the Bogachiel Rain Forest, and an hour from Cape Flattery bluffs and the Makkah Cultural Center. Caution: Children should always be supervised around water. In recent years the river has eroded its bank.
