What Guests Are Saying
Kalaloch is praised for its stunning natural beauty, proximity to the beach, and great accommodations, making it a favorite destination for many campers. Visitors enjoy the tidepools, beautiful sunsets, and clean facilities, with some noting the helpfulness of the rangers. However, concerns include the need for better maintenance of the campground, issues with broken facilities, and a complicated reservation process. Despite these drawbacks, many campers express a strong desire to return.

Beautiful, large, private sites--many near the beach. It was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of the surf. The only improvement I would suggest would be to upgrade the bathrooms, since they are old and dingy-looking.

I have stayed or stopped by many of the National Parks over the years. The bathrooms at Kalaloch were DISGUSTING! There was no toilet paper in mid-afternoon, mornings, evenings, and throughout the day. The toilets, floors, and sinks were so dirty!!! When I went to the ranger station, no one was there multiple times throughout the day. I had to ask another camper to hand me toilet paper and they too were without. A child was crying at another time because they did not have toilet paper. My heart broke for the child. I ran to my own campsite to get a napkin for them (so humiliating). Other campers were also complaining and disappointed.
Different subject, dogs barking (why would I leave home?). Another subject, so many open campsites and it took me forever to get a campsite. It takes hours to get there and there more open campsites although they said reserved. This system is NOT working. Kalaloch Campground deserves better attention. I could clean the restrooms and get the job done. This was NOT acceptable but still my favorite place to stay. I will bring my own toilet paper, bathroom cleaners, ear plugs, dry firewood (the wood at the lodge was too wet to burn), and... still beg for a spot!

Restrooms were very dirty. Lot is uneven and small, no shade!

The weather was great. The beach is wonderful and our campsite was adequate. It would have been nice to have a little more privacy.

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.
