About Kalaloch
Overview
Kalaloch Campground is on the reservation system May 15, 2026 - September 20, 2026.
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.
C and D loop campsites will be available for reservations two weeks in advance.
E and F loop campsites will be available for reservations 4 days in advance .
Please be aware that A, D, and E Loops have experienced substantial erosion damage to the road and campsites along the ocean bluff. For this reason, there are a number of ocean bluff campsites permanently closed.
During the rest of the year, the campground operates 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.
Recreation
Near the campground and lodge, trails and steps descend about 40 feet to the beach. Beach access at Kalaloch Campground is located on both sides of the campground: A-loop and D-loop. 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. Before you go fishing in Olympic National Park, review the current fishing and shellfish regulations and check bulletin boards for locally posted regulation changes. Visit our fishing page for more information on where you can fish in the park: Fishing - Olympic National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
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.
Pets are allowed in developed areas such as the campground, picnic areas, roads, and parking lots, and are required to be on-leash (up to 6 feet) and attached to a human at all times. Pets are allowed on Kalaloch Beaches from South Beach Campground to Ruby Beach. Do not leave pets unattended or tied to an object in a way that will damage vegetation or park property. Pets are not permitted on the Kalaloch Nature Trail. Visit our pets page for more information on where you can take your pet in the park: https://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/pets.htm
Facilities
Kalaloch Campground is a large facility with 160 campsites, including one group site and four accessible sites. Each site has a picnic table and campfire ring. Drinking water is available at the water spigots outside of the restrooms for loops A, B, and C. Drinking water is available at the RV fill station for loops D, E, and F across from campsite D016. There are no hook-ups at this facility, though a dump station is available for a $10 fee ($5 with a Senior or Access Pass) and is not included in the camping fee. The nearest shower facility is 6 miles south (Queets Trading Post) or 28 miles north (Bogachiel State Park). Campers can purchase firewood, propane, food, and other goods nearby at Kalaloch Lodge.
Natural Features
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.
Nearby Attractions
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.
