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 per-pup fee, which must be paid in the "extras" section at checkout {dogs enjoy the beach the most!!}

Nestled along the Clearwater River in a quiet, forested stretch of the Olympic Peninsula, Salmon Run is a small family-owned campground offering a peaceful, back-to-nature experience. Located between the Quinault and Hoh rainforests just 3.6 miles north of Highway 101 and about 10 miles from Kalaloch Beach, this peaceful spot is a quiet alternative to the busy coastal campgrounds.
Sites include a fire ring, a flat spot for your tent, and a picnic table (except Camp 4). At the north edge of the campground, a short trail through the floodplain forest provides access to the river and gravel bar. There’s no potable water onsite, so bring drinking water or your filter for the river. Directly across the street, guests have access to a clean Sanican, a gravel parking area, and free WiFi in front of the main shop. Dogs are welcome, as long as they stay leashed and are never left unattended. Bundles of firewood are available for purchase.
New this year, we are offering movie nights on the 4th Saturdays of the month, May - Sept. If you are at the campground on one of these evenings, we invite you to join us for a family-friendly movie & popcorn inside the shop by the parking area.

In the winter all vehicles and RV's must stay on the designated driveway. In the summer the grass in the front and sandy beach soil around the firepit can be used for other activities.

Escape to your own private slice of coastal paradise in Ocean Shores, Washington.

Tucked away on a spacious, tree-lined property, our large private camping area gives you total freedom and seclusion. You’ll have the entire serene space to share with family and friends — no crowded campsites, no “quiet hours,” and no rules holding you back from making memories under the stars.
Picture gathering around a crackling fire, kids and dogs running freely through the open grassy areas, and everyone soaking in the fresh ocean air. Leash-free pups are welcome to explore and play to their hearts’ content. Just a pleasant 10-minute walk through rolling dunes leads you straight to the beach for kite flying, beachcombing, picnic lunches, and those magical Pacific Northwest sunsets that light up the sky in brilliant colors.
Note for winter and spring (November–May): The dune trail can get muddy or wet, so rubber boots or waders are recommended. You can also drive to public beach access in just a few minutes from town.
Conveniently located between the exciting Quinault Casino and the heart of Ocean Shores, you’re perfectly placed for adventure. Discover the town’s best-kept secret: 23 miles of scenic, interconnected canals and lakes perfect for kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding. Cast a line for bass, rainbow trout, yellow perch, and bluegill, or paddle out to explore charming little islands. Three launch sites are available — just let us know if you need directions.
Forgotten something at home? No problem. Ocean Shores has everything you need — from the incredibly helpful Ace Hardware to fun-filled activities like arcade games, golf, mini-golf, go-karts, water go-karts, bowling, seasonal beach horseback rides, electric bike rentals, scooter rentals, and so much more.
This is more than a camping spot — it’s a peaceful, joyful retreat where laughter echoes, stories are shared, and unforgettable memories are made with the people (and pets) you love most.

The campsite was very nice! We stayed at site 2 and there was a picnic table, fire pit, some stumps for sitting, and a nice view of the river. I would definitely recommend it!

Salmon Run is an absolutely amazing place!!!! I had a great stay at campsite 4. I loved how it was nestled back into the trees and hidden away... In the evening the frogs and crickets put on a concert.. I woke in the morning to the serenade of birds and water tumbling over the rocks. It exactly what I needed " a calm relaxing night away". This place and all of its campsite are wonderous and highly recommend!!!! I will not miss the opportunity to stay here anytime im in the area! Thank you...

This was an excellent spot that was nice a private but still close to town! We were able to talk to the beach using the trail, but needed our rubber boots to get through the flooded spots. The only issue we had was with the gate lock. It got jammed pretty bad a few times and was difficult to lock/unlock even with the correct code.

This place is unreal.. a complete dream! We stayed here while exploring Olympic NP and although Olympic was beautiful, we were excited to get back to our campsite at the end of the day because it was so private and secluded (we were also the only ones there so had the whole place to ourselves).

1 night at Olympic Adventure Campground
This was a great stay en route to the Hoh rainforest and the Olympic beaches- I was hesitant to reserve the Chinook cabin at first because the reviews described it as an overpriced shed, but it was anything but...It's a proper cabin with extremely efficient heating, windows,excellent lighting, plugs for my charger, even a microwave! And two new air mattresses had just that day been placed, super comfy😊 Safe and sturdy and walking distance to the clean bathrooms, I was pleasantly surprised...I've stayed in more expensive tiny cabins with less offered so I'd call this a win- I'd definitely stay again...

Wow is all I can say! Absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. The entire campground including our site was meticulously taken care of. Including ourselves, there was only two occupied campsites out of seven. But we could tell even if the camp was full there was a nice level of privacy. The private pit toilet on site 1 was clean and there was even a private beautiful little trail right behind it. On day two we drove down to the river bank and ended up with it all to ourselves for the day. We definitely plan to visit again, thanks for an incredible weekend!

This was our first Hipcamp experience and we may well have been at one of, if not the best, Hipcamps. Our site, number-4, was amazing in so many ways; well maintained, finely crushed gravel and level for our 21 foot trailer, large fire pit and picnic table, and the bathroom (sani-can) was pristine! The natural environment around our camp site and the entire area was a birder's paradise. Highly recommend the "Maple Tree" hike. It's awe inspiring and created a sense of enchantment to our visit. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. It was very quiet, but with the spacing of each site, we imagine it would be just as quiet if full. Our hosts, Maggie and Dan, were great, checking in with us upon our arrival. We'll be back and highly recommend Hoh River Campsites!
