30mi from Copalis Beach · 7 sites · Tents, RVs · Forks, WA

Welcome to Aliya Preserve. Originally owned by the developers of Kalaloch Lodge, this was slated to be an expansion site for the resort. That development would have drastically changed the land. Adam & Sara purchased the property in 2018 to preserve it. We enjoy sharing it with nature aficionados who respect the sacredness of the unblemished land and help us keep it pristine. From your mossy bank perched above the panoramic Pacific, beneath burley spruce tree boughs, magic sunsets unfold at your own super-private and secluded campsite with fire-pit. Adjacent to Olympic National Park, this is the same beach and bluff that defines Kalaloch, LaPush and and other wild Washington coastal icons. As the stewards of this land, we are now inviting respectful and responsible small groups and families to share its beauty. Without prior approval we allow only eight people per group— even when split between campsites. Please make sure to check the site *title* for number of campers allowed in each site. For example only two people are allowed in sites 1 and 4. Up to two dogs are allowed per site for a $25 perpup fee, which must be paid in the "extras" section at checkout {dogs enjoy the beach the most!!}

We bought this land in 2017, there were 7 derelict mobile homes on the property. We cleaned up the area and remodeled the house next door and put in the 5 RV sites. We hope you enjoy this property as much as we do, it is a one-of-a-kind beautiful, quiet place. All of our sites have full hook-ups (water, sewer, and power). The sites are just a couple feet from the bay with access to miles of beach hiking. You can walk to Bottle Beach State Park which is approximately 1 mile north or hike about a mile south to Elk River. Enjoy unobstructed views of Westport and the freight ships coming into the harbor. Enjoy a peaceful beach with amazing sunsets. Whether you are surfing for the weekend or tuna-fishing, this is your go to spot - you will not be disappointed. Westport is 7 miles by car and the Westport Winery is only 5 miles. There is two nearby boat launches - one off of Elk River just 2 miles away and the other off of Johns River launch just 6 miles away. We are located in the middle of an outdoor paradise and want others to enjoy all it has to offer. ***If you have questions about how to add sites to your reservation or change dates, please reach out to HipCamp support. They will be able to better assist you.*** PLEASE NO FIREWORKS ON SITE OR SURROUNDING AREA.

7.2mi from Copalis Beach · 1 site · Tent, RV · Ocean Shores, WA

Ocean Shores is known as a small charming coastal community with an abundance of recreational and cultural activities. It is also surrounded by miles of sandy beaches on the Pacific Ocean as well as Grays Harbor. Its 23 miles of inter-connected canals and lakes charm you with their breathtaking views. Surrounded by trees and vegetation you will have all the privacy you seek as you are the only campers here. This is a very large space to share with those of your choosing. There are no "lights out" or "quiet times" for you to worry about. Large open space for camping with friends and family to gather and enjoy each others company. Dogs are able to be leash free and enjoy the space as well. Only a ten min private walk to the ocean through the dunes to enjoy beautiful sandy beaches, kite flying, picnics on the beach, day camping, amazing sunsets and so much more. Rubber boots (maybe some waders, depending on the winter) are recommended for the hike to the beach during the winter months (November-May) as you will have a small trek through seasonal wet lands. You may also access the beach/ocean by vehicle just a few minutes away in town. You will be located between the Quinault Casino and the City of Ocean Shores where you can enjoy all the wonderful activities there is to offer. If kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding is what you are seeking, many are unaware of the 23 miles of scenic canals in the City of Ocean Shores. You may also fish for bass, rainbow trout, yellow perch and bluegill sunfish in these waterways. I hear there are a couple little Islands to explore as well. What a hidden treasure! There are three launch sites available we can give if needed. And if you left something at home, sitting there thinking he was going to grab it (haha) no worries, you more than likely can grab it in town. The Ace hardware is amazing! There is an Arcade, golf, miniature golf, go carts, water go carts, bowling, horseback rentals (seasonal) for the beach, electric bike rentals, scooter rentals and so many more activities for you to enjoy. A wonderful place where memories are made.

Right now we have dry camping with outdoor honey buckets. We are wanting something that you can clear your mind, camp In peace.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK We are about 45 minutes from ocean beaches, only a few minutes from the best riding, hiking and boating in the world. We have a cute bar and restaurant within a mile. Also gas and groceries are close as well. Boat launch is about 1/2 a block easy access. There is talk about sites at the river, we have some in their premature stage. This is NOT offered through our Hip Camp site!!!!! There are reasons for this: When we initially opened, we allowed people to camp there through Hip Camp and I was getting low stars ratings because Entitled people thought for $28 bucks, they got the whole river to themselves and would fight with other campers. IT JUST GOT TO EXHAUSTING. In the coming years I’m going to try to set up some premium sites on the river and work super hard at getting amenities that will match that price. But for now, Enjoy Camp Hope and the river ACCESS too!!

The best family-friendly camping near Copalis Beach guide

Where to go

Oyhut Wildlife Recreation Area

The well-maintained trails of Oyhut Wildlife Recreation Area bring campers face-to-face with coastal dunes and wetlands. Situated on a peninsula that juts out into North Bay, Oyhut has excellent coastal camping options, including RV campsites with full hookups, as well as heated yurts with picnic tables, firepits, and pathways that lead to the ocean. While most of the trails sit on the outskirts of the lush landscape, the untamed interior makes it a hot spot for birding and hunting waterfowl.

Olympic National Park

An hour drive north brings campers to the southern entrance of Olympic National Park—the place to be for hiking, discovering waterfalls, and hopping into bubbling hot springs. The park spans 1,442 square miles and provides plenty of campgrounds, some with potable water, shower facilities, animal-proof food storage, and dump stations for RVs. Dispersed camping is also allowed in certain areas. Be sure to double-check road access in winter, as snow can cause closures, and be mindful that oversized RVs and trailers may have difficulty with the tight switchbacks that curve through the mountain.

Westport Light State Park

Across the water from Oyhut Wildlife Recreation Area sits another peninsula an hour south from Copalis Beach—Westport Light State Park. Known for its sandy shoreline, Grays Harbour Lighthouse, and big waves for surfing, it delivers fun activities for all kinds of campers. Book a spot at a nearby campground outfitted with pet-friendly tent campsites and back-in RV spots with hookups for electricity and water. Communal flush toilets and shower facilities add convenience, as well. Or, opt for more privacy with a secluded riverside campground—the perfect place for kayakers and anglers to roll out of bed and get right to the action.

When to go

Warm weather runs from May until September in the area around Copalis Beach, with beautiful wildflowers best seen in the peak of summer. Fall brings rain and big waves to Westport Light State Park. While the climate is generally mild, winter months are gray and wet. Higher elevation areas in the Olympic Mountains also get a fair amount of snow in the off-season, so watch for road closures.
