Kalaloch CG in a 29ft 5th wheel

We am planning a road trip to the Northwest next June in our 29ft 5th wheel and would like to stay 2-3 nights in Kalaloch before moving over to Sol Duc for a couple of nights. We always try to dry camp, so that is not an issue.

My question basically is: Are there sites that can accommodate both the 5er and our F350? (drive thru, back in, or dbl wide) In total we are close to 50' long.

I have found that Recreation.gov is not that helpful in looking at site details, and campsitephotos.com only has pictures and not actual lengths or widths. So I guess the 2nd question would be whether there is a PDF map somewhere that shows the sites and their sizes?

I prefer to reserve sites in advance (1st minute of 1st day they are available on-line...do that for Yosemite each spring), and would even consider reserving two sites (one for truck and one for 5er) if I had to (based on pics in campsitephotos.com.)

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

  • You could call now for information on what sites are large enough for your rig.
    Then make reservations based on that information.

    Click on site number on the following it gives driveway lengths.

    The campground has what, 170 sites? I was trying to avoid clicking on 170 sites on rec.gov if there was a simple fix...like a map that shows the sites. If there is not a map then I guess I will have to do that.

    The process would be to go to this site: https://www.campsitephotos.com/campground/wa/kalaloch/
    Then click on each pic until I find one that LOOKS like it might work, then go to the rec.gov site to confirm.

    Sites are available 6 months in advance (if I remember right) so I can procrastinate (or keep looking for a map) for another 4-5 months ;-)

    Thanks,

    Steve

    You will need to make reservations well in advance to get a site.

    Olympic Park campgrounds
    Just south of the campgrounds is an overflow area that is great. No, there is no hook ups, or water, just pit toilet. It is called South Beach!


    Thanks for letting me know they do have sites that will work, but how do I found out which ones they are?

    I've already been to the link you shared, but it does not give any specific site details.

    And yes, I am aware of South Beach as well, but for now I am specifically just focusing on Kalaloch...not ready to go to back-up plans yet.

    Thanks again, Steve
