Kalaloch Campground

Forested

Olympic National Park · Washington, USA · 20 m elevation · Check-in 12:00 PM · Check-out 11:00 AM

Ocean-bluff camping on Olympic's wild coast, famous for sunsets over the Pacific.

Shade reality: Coastal spruce forest shades most loops; bluff-edge sites trade shade for Pacific sunset views.

Season: Open year-round. Reservable May 15 – Sep 20; first-come the rest of the year. Official page ↗
