Kalaloch Campground

Located just north of Kalaloch Lodge, near the Kalaloch Campground, "Tree Root Cave" features a tree like no other. Still breathing while its roots travel to nowhere. Erosion, having taken away its life supply, has not stopped the tree from thriving on the coast and leaving people speechless from a sight that has never been seen before.

Absolute must if you are driving up or down the 101. Gorgeous views. Walk down the steps on the bluff and you are right on the beach. We got there late on a holiday weekend and were lucky to get a spot. Even with the crowd and the spot we got, we could hear the ocean waves crashing all night. There is also a small store at the lodge a mile or so up the road if you need firewood or supplies.

What a great place rain or shine! and if you are lucky you can be there when a storm blows in the drift logs and new items to see while beachcombing. We happened to stay here on a beautiful Feb weekend, no crowd with the beach to ourselves, and what a great beach to walk on for miles. There is also a lodge nearby with cabins and a restaurant if you aren't a camper. Walk down and had a great cup of chowder. It was wonderful to sit on the bluff and watch the sunset while sharing wine and snacks. This is a must stop area if you are Roadtripping the Olympic Penninsula. Can't wait to go back.

With three major ecosystems and almost a million acres to choose from, Olympic National Park is filled with possibilities. Olympic National Park is a land of beauty and variety. Created in 1938 to protect the Roosevelt elk, primeval forest and wild coast, the park encompasses nearly a million acres. A few days of exploration take you from breathtaking mountain vistas with meadows of wildflowers to colorful ocean tide pools or early homestead cabins. Nestled in the valleys are some of the largest remnants of ancient forests left in the country. Trees here can tower 300 feet tall, and the forests range from the westside's lush temperate rain forest to dry, fire-shaped eastside forests.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.
