About Kalaloch

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.

What Guests Are Saying

Kalaloch Campground offers a stunning location close to the beach, with beautiful scenery and a pleasant atmosphere. Many reviewers praised the clean facilities and the helpful lodge staff, who provided exceptional assistance during their stay. However, some noted issues with noise from Highway 101, limited bathroom facilities, and difficulties in securing preferred campsites, suggesting that while the campground is beautiful, improvements in maintenance and accessibility are needed. Overall, visitors enjoyed their experience and expressed a desire to return.

We stayed two nights at the campground and enjoyed our time. The area is lovely and our campsite, A-5 was wonderful. It was large and spacious for a couple of tents. Other sites close to the highway are much smaller and covered densely with foliage. The bathroom was down one toilet in the women's near us but they kept the other toilet stocked well. The beach is beautiful and we enjoyed our time.

This campsite was absolutely amazing! I stayed in campsites all along the coast and in Mount Rainier National Park and this one was the most maintained and clean. The bathrooms were some of the cleanest I've seen at a campsite. Having the ocean right at the campsite was heavenly. We stayed in A042 and it was tucked away nicely. I'll definitely be coming back to this campground, it is my favorite!

Kalaloch is so beautiful and one of the most amazing places on the Peninsula to stay and visit. The trash left behind on the beaches and in the restrooms are absolutely horrible and people need to do better. We picked up over 20 lb of trash from the beach, a tire and litter scattered throughout the park over the weekend, it was ridiculous. And just because the NPS has employees and rangers cleaning restrooms, doesn't mean they should have to clean up all of your trash, litter and bags of garbage. If you want these treasured places to be available in the future, take care of them.
Our site this time was just above the Tree of Life and we spent more time than necessary guiding traffic for people searching for the Tree of Life, assuming based on Google, that it was in the campground.. its not. Access is from the public parking lot and via trail down to the beach. It would be amazing if there was some signage that it is not accessible from the campground in order to avoid being disturbed constantly while enjoying such an amazing place with your family.
We love Kalaloch and being Peninsula locals, will stay every chance we can...if I could give any tips for camping: Be prepared for wind, some very cold nights, even when its warm... and for the love, leave it the way you found it and pick up your trash. Also, stay off the already debilitating structure of the tree. Take photos, admire, be in aww of the beauty...but leave the tree alone and stop climbing all over it.
Enjoy the amazing beauty because it really is a beautiful place.

Very nice site! Far enough from the road that we heard only occasional traffic noise at night, and had enough shrubbery around that we couldn’t see our neighbors directly.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
