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!!}

Welcome to our little slice of heaven! This property has been part of our family’s story for years. Originally, we bought it as a summer getaway for fishing vacations, a place to build sandcastles, paddle the bay, and soak up those priceless family moments.
This isn’t your typical vacation spot. Tucked amongst towering spruce and cedars, lush park-like spaces, and a private stretch of sandy beach, it’s the kind of place that takes your breath away. Sure, you’ll see stunning photos, but trust us being here is something else entirely. The moment you step foot on the property, the chaos of city life melts away, replaced by the soothing sounds of waves, birdsong, and rustling trees.
For weddings, the natural beauty here is unmatched. Imagine exchanging vows with a backdrop of mountains, ocean views, and the gentle glow of golden hour lighting everything just right. It’s a setting so serene, it feels like nature itself is celebrating your love.
Whether you’re staying in one of our beachfront rentals—some perfect for couples, others for families—or visiting as a guest for a wedding, this place is designed for connection. Connection to loved ones, connection to nature, and, most importantly, connection to the peace we so often forget exists.
We’d love to welcome you to this place we hold so close to our hearts. Whether you’re here to tie the knot, catch the big one, or just breathe in the fresh, salty air, we hope you leave feeling a little lighter, a little more connected, and a lot more at peace.

Great, peaceful spot for putting down your tent. Felt very private and had good flat spots, mossy trees and a chorus of birds. The walk to the river was wonderful and we could pretend we were alone there. The outhouse was well stocked and while we didn't have a picnic table, I bet there would be one soon as the other sites seemed to have one. Very close to Forks and amenities. Would absolutely come back!

We enjoyed our stay at Rest & River. We stayed in campsite #4 and loved how private and secluded it felt. But still close to the bathroom and main road to get to Forks and Quileute Res. It was a bit muddy from the rain but that didn’t bother us. Beautiful walk to the river. It seems like this place is only going to get better with time.

We had an amazing stay at Deon and Kevin’s RV while celebrating my mom’s 50th birthday over the Fourth of July weekend. The RV was absolutely lovely and surprisingly spacious—more than enough room for our family of six to stay comfortably.
Deon and Kevin were wonderful hosts. They were always quick to respond, incredibly helpful with any questions we had, and accommodating to our needs throughout our stay. Their hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable.
The views were beautiful, and watching the Fourth of July fireworks from the property was truly special. We also appreciated how peaceful and quiet it was at night, making it easy to relax and unwind after a fun-filled day.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily book with Deon and Kevin again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable, scenic, and welcoming getaway!

Beautiful spot very peaceful. Just a heads up, Site 2 has no fire pit you will need to step away from campsite onto the beach to have a fire so watch the tide as it comes all the way up the beach at night. We looked everywhere for potable water and could not find a working spicket or one that was functional so bring extra water if you need it. Overall it's a wonderful site and we will be returning.
