KALALOCH

About

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. This campground has a 7 day maximum stay limit. Campsites with ocean views fill quickly; book early People have been injured or killed by drifting logs washing up on shore; use caution when swimming and do not play on beach logs, especiallywhen the tide is high Gathering wood from the campground is strictly prohibited year-round. Firewood is available from Kalaloch Lodge, 0.5 miles south of the campground.
