24mi from Bogachiel State Park · 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!!}

The best camping in Bogachiel State Park, WA guide

Overview

About

This beautifully kept, remote park lies on the northwestern tip of Washington State. Thanks to 140-160 inches of dense annual rainfall, the thickly forested 123-acre camping park is lush with vegetation. Campsites right along the Bogachiel River make this a great base camp if you're touring the western Olympic Peninsula.

Soak up the green-enshrouded rainforest terrain on the park's two short trails. Pick up the Bogachiel River Trail that goes into the National Forest right across the street. If it's summer, float the park's small section of river.

The small campground has 36 clean and well-maintained, relatively private standard sites. Six sites have power and water. There are restrooms with showers and a dump station.

The park's campground and two day-use areas are open year-round. Book a reservation for May 15-Sept. 15; everything else is first-come, first-served. The trick here is to score a site next to the river so it drowns out the traffic noise from nearby Hwy. 101.

Notable campgrounds

  • Standard Campsites - Nestled amid the park's greenery, offering a classic camping experience.
  • Partial Hookup Sites - Ideal for those seeking a blend of nature and convenience for their RVs.
  • Hiker-Biker Sites - A perfect spot for the adventurous souls traveling on foot or by bike.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, especially during peak summer months.
  • Check for cancellations regularly as plans change and spots may open up.
  • Consider midweek camping for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Explore nearby camping options for alternative accommodations if the park is full.

When to go

The best time to visit Bogachiel State Park is during the summer, from 8am to dusk, when the weather is mild and the park is fully accessible. Winter also offers a serene beauty, but be prepared for shorter days and cooler temperatures. Avoid burn bans and check for seasonal alerts before planning your trip.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have a Discover Pass for park entry; annual passes are $30 and one-day passes are $10.
  • Keep dogs on a leash and respect the wildlife by maintaining a safe distance.
  • Take advantage of the park's amenities, including restrooms, showers, and picnic tables.
  • Stay informed about burn bans and other park rules to ensure a safe visit.
  • Remember, the park is open from 8am to dusk, so plan your activities accordingly.
