The parking lot is a decent size and there are two bathrooms. The trail isn't very long. The beach is made of sand and small polished pebbles. There are very few sharp rocks. The gravel is very smooth. The beach is mostly made up of sand. The waves crash down and leave beautiful foam patterns on the sand. When the days are overcast, the water appears to be a clear green-blue. On sunny days, the water looks very, very blue. The water is clear! This is a wonderful place to walk, play in the water, and to take pictures. I went on Saturday and Sunday 6/7/14 and 6/8/14. I am going back next week!

The place was accommodating, and we had a really nice trip. However, on the morning we checked out, around 8 AM, three of the owners showed up at our door demanding that we pay for our stay. I asked if I could pay after we checked out, and they started cursing at me and threatening me in front of my son. I promptly paid, and the three of them calmed down very quickly. I later found out that a different campsite, not ours, had not paid. While that is unfortunate, taking that anger out on my family was completely unacceptable. I do want to say that our stay was pretty amazing up until this point. They were very accommodating, including helping us with fresh towels. Sadly, this incident at the end was absurd and really ruined the experience.

I have to front load my review with the fact I have not been camping in a long time. A very very…read morelong time! Having said that I was very happy with this campground. The layout of this campground consists of four loops. A, B, C, D, and each loop has a numbered sites. Each campsite has a table and a fire ring. Park your car correctly and you can ensure to make your spot more private. Under a canopy of trees which are beautiful. The bathroom has running toilets and is well lit. Making nighttime walks to the bathroom less scary, lol. The camp host came over to introduce herself and warn about the crows. Apparently they were rampant and able to attack and tear up campsites if you leave anything out. A very quiet area and super close to Rialto Beach. Which I would not recommend walking to as there is no trail and you'd have to walk on the road. A great central location to explore the Olympic Peninsula. Very nice spot to get back into camping.

I want to affirm the other 1 star reviewer, Kimberely S., in expressing disappointment in the…read moreattitude of the ownership at this otherwise beautiful property. The geographical location is excellent. HOWEVER, travelers might want to know: 1. Apparently their strategy is to list their property on 3rd party booking platforms (AirBnb, Travelocity, VrBO) in order to fill their vacancies. However, they take no responsibility for how their property appears to customers on these platforms. The owner Rachel told me she had "zero control" over her own business, in spite of paying these platforms for their services. When I sent her screenshots of what I had experienced through Travelocity, she dismissively replied she "had done all she could to help me". 2. Travelers should also know that GPS leads you astray. I drove into the Beachcombers area by mistake and was met with some clearly annoyed, but ultimately kind neighbors who got me going the right way. There is some signage, but it still felt very unclear and confusing for me and I'm on the road quite a bit. (Especially when Google Maps is not telling you to turn). Evidently they do send out an email with instructions when you book, but when you aren't aware of this and book through Travelocity, the email got lost in my junk email filter. 3. There is no cell phone signal at the site, and no check in procedure other than to call/text Tim or Rachel. This is obviously difficult if you don't have any reception. 4. The hosts manage the property remotely, despite what they pretend. I know this from my own lack of in-person interaction with them, and while spending time at my site I was approached by a couple who had been driving all over the grounds trying to find help. They said they had repeatedly attempted and failed at getting in touch with whomever was running the property. They asked me if I knew how they could get in contact. (Sadly, I had to tell them the truth). 5. Expect to be 100% on your own for orienting yourself, aside from a passive-aggressive sign they inconspicuously post on the side door of an unofficial looking house. (See pic) 6. They list amenities (like showers) that that do not provide, and make no attempt to hide they never, in fact, intended to do so. 7. Because I booked with Travelocity, I inadvertently booked the ADA site. The listing had no mention of this, and which I had no way of knowing until I arrived. Based on my experience, I am convinced this is intentional on their part, so they can book it, but claim no accountability when you're forced to illegally park in the handicapped spot. 8. Site 5 (the ADA site) is the only site that has a port-a-potty, which you will smell for the entire duration of your stay. As other reviewers have said, the geography and physical location itself is stunning. Were it not for the hostile, and condescending vibe created by Tim and Rachel, I would whole-heartedly recommend staying here. There are ways to approach running a business in the hospitality industry. Empathy, common courtesy, clear and courteous communication. Unfortunately the current owners have instead elected to treat their customers as if giving them less than the bare minimum is something their customers should be grateful for getting. P.S. If you see a retaliatory response from the owners, go also read what happened to Kimberely S, and how they handled it. It should tell you all you need to know.

Massive sculptural sea stacks rise along the shoreline, rugged and dramatic. The beach is strewn with driftwood, some pieces arranged so naturally they feel like art instillations. Its name comes from the subtle reddish mineral flecks in the sand, which glow beautifully when the sun hits them. We loved exploring this area, and it's absolutely a must-stop if you're anywhere near Forks. Vault restrooms are available just off the parking lot; they're basic and don't have running water. Because this beach is part of Olympic National Park, you'll need to pay the daily entrance fee or better yet, grab an America the Beautiful Pass for access to all national parks. I wouldn't recommend walking barefoot or swimming here. The water stays around 45-55°F year-round, the waves are powerful, and the surf can be unpredictable. This is a place to admire, wander, and soak in the wild beauty of the coast.

There is a pull-out along Highway 113 (Burnt Mountain Road) where you can get out of the vehicle to explore. A gravel road runs parallel to Burnt Mountain Road a short ways past two campsites. Both sites had a picnic table and one also had a campfire pit. South of the campsites is a boat ramp and a short dock. When I stopped here there was someone fishing. Careful driving along this way, there are a bunch of logging trucks barreling down the road. This is also a good place to pull off and let them pass and enjoy the beauty of the lake. If driving south on Highway 113 from Highway 112, Beaver Lake is located on the left hand side of the road a little over halfway to Highway 101. I could see the lake on approach before I reached the pull-out and boat ramp.

We checked off a bucket list item though- we told ourselves that the next time we come back, we'd have a bonfire on the beach and that's exactly what we did! We stayed out until 11 at night on the beach and it was pretty dark! Core memories made. We will definitely return and it won't be in 10 years, more like 2. We love you, Kalaloch!!!

A park ranger is on hand to answer any questions that you may have. Kalaloch and Ruby Beach are located on the southwest coast of the Olympic Peninsula right off the 101. This is one of the most visited areas of Olympic National Park. Kalaloch Campground is one of the only places for camping on the southern coast of Olympic National Park. There are over 170 campsites that have a picnic table and fire ring. Make sure you reserve early as they fill up quick during the summer season. Kalaloch Lodge is also located right by the beach and has rooms and cabins available. Kalaloch Beach is a great place for tidepooling and bird watching. I enjoyed a short stay here. I was able to walk on the beach and take in some fresh air after being in the car all day. Nearby is the Tree of Life spruce tree if you want to check that out. Just follow the Kalaloch Beach Nature Trail from the Kalaloch Campground parking lot. Once you are on the beach, it is a short walk away.
