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.

I went camping here with my boyfriend and we both really enjoyed this spot. We love how the shrubs gave us a privacy wall from people driving/walking by. The branches and shrubs were maintained allowing us to view the ocean and have enough leg room to set up our 10x8 tent and 10x10 canopy.

The view of the ocean was beautiful and the sound of the waves was very relaxing at night. We did notice a couple small snakes near the shrubs closest to the road, but the snakes didn’t bother us. Surprisingly, there weren’t that many bugs around us.

The stairs to the beach was only a 2 minute walk down which was very convenient for us. The walk to the restroom was less than a minute. There’s also a fish washing station, water pump, and the dumpsters near the restroom closest to the entrance of the campgrounds.

We would definitely come back! Seeing the tree of life was nice as well.

Kalaloch is a very nice place. Campsites are clean and restrooms are in good condition. Given that the beach is only accessible from the campground, there’s never huge crowds. Can’t beat the sunset on a clear day.

2024 was bad rain, rain, rain, we did not stay but we got a refund. We have been going to kalaloch since 1964.
3 stars because it’s getting to hard for everyone to get a camp site.

Stayed here for the proximity to the Hoh Rainforest and the ocean. It was so wonderful hearing the ocean waves at night. Had a great time tent camping here.

A lot of the campground is right off the highway. There is quite a bit of road noise. However it is very beautiful and our site was huge. No soap in bathrooms and no showers. Had to walk to a dumping station to get our water.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • 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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

  • Always check tide charts when hiking; some areas may be impassable at high tide.
  • Riptides are common; swimming is at your own risk.

  • Most sites at Kalaloch cannot accommodate large RVs or trailers; check site details before reserving.

  • A maximum of two passenger vehicles is allowed per site, provided they fit in the driveway and do not damage vegetation.

General

  • Visiting Kalaloch and Ruby Beach

Site types & loops
