Groups of more than 6 must camp in one of the 2 designated group sites or on the beach.
Toilet Facilities: Pit toilets are available at Sand Point and Cape Alava. In other areas bury waste 6-8" deep and 200 feet (70 steps) from campsites and water sources. Don't be a "surface pooper"! When toilets are not available, please be sure to bury your waste and toilet paper so the next campers will not have to experience your poo.
Water Sources: Creeks at Sand Point and Cape Alava. Most coastal water sources have a tea-stained appearance. The light tan color originates from tannin leached from leaves. Cryptosporidium and giardia exist in coastal streams and rivers; therefore, always filter or boil water. iodine is ineffective against cryptosporidium.
Stock: Prohibited on all park beaches and beach trails.
Easy hiking on the forest trails. The beach hiking is rough but the scenery is surreal and amazing.
I camped at sand point for 2 nights and had a great adventure! It is a must to have the right gear and a bear canister and some knowledge of upcoming weather conditions, but is an amazing place to experience the ruggedness of the Washington coast
Absolutely beautiful. 1 hour hike from ranger station in Ozette. Plenty of tidal pools and nature, combination of sandy and rocky beach. Bring tide charts if you plan on hiking up beach to Wedding Rocks, as two of the areas are underneath water at high tide.
Beautiful beach. While you can camp here it's also a lovely day hike. I didn't rush so the walk out (path, boardwalk) took about an hour and a half (3 miles). Majestic old cedars to pass by and fragrant bogs to walk through; birds to hear on the way as well (bird nerd here). Recommend hitting the beach around low tide for long walks on the expansive beach and searching for critters in tide pools. Seals, birds and other wildlife can be seen here so don't forget binoculars. Nice vantage point available. Bring water too. It can be warm on sunny days. Camp sites looked inviting. Lots of kelp washes ashore so flies can be in abundance in summer. Highly recommend this spot along with the rest of the Ozette Loop!
