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.

We were lucky enough to grab a wonderful Oceanside site for 6 nights so we were spoiled. There was so much to do and see at Olympic National Park and Kaloloch was the perfect jumping off point. Including the beautiful beach walk out past South Beach and North out towards Ruby Beach. Highly recommend!!!

Kalaloch is the best beach camping to be found! The views are spectacular. We love hanging out where the creek meets the ocean for the day. No hot water, hand soap, showers or cell service (spotty at best for Verizon). If you're looking to get away and relax, this is it!

I was in space A003, which is one of the spaces listed as having road noise from the highway. It definitely does! Fortunately at night there aren’t a lot of drivers, so it quiets down, but definitely expect to hear cars all day in this space.
Also in the A loop, the women’s restroom had two stalls, but one of them was out of order the entire weekend. This resulted in lines forming and was difficult for me and for some of the kids I saw around.
Those were the biggest drawbacks. However, the up sides were numerous! You can walk down to Kalaloch beach from the campground (and my space next to the campground host was very close to the pathway). Kalaloch beach is quiet and flat. Kind of similar to Ocean Shores and Long Beach, but not very populated.
Plus the AMAZING Ruby Beach with gorgeous sea stacks is a quick ten minute drive up the road and extremely worth a visit. I went down there three different times over a two-night stay. Just amazing. It was more popular, but because it’s so large and there are so many sea stacks, it didn’t feel crowded even on a sunny afternoon. When the tide was coming in at sunset, I was one of 5 people down there watching the breakers crash and a sea lion play in the waves.
The campground itself was clean, and I appreciated the water station next to the restrooms. I’d definitely camp here again, but might try to get a spot further from the highway.

Was beautiful location. Bathrooms were a bit sad. The one closest to our site only had one stall available. It was well used
