Third Beach Campground Area

Third Beach Campground Area is a coastal wilderness camping destination in Olympic National Park accessible via a 1. 4-mile trail through coastal forest, offering beach camping above high tide with a pit toilet facility.

Wilderness camping permits are required, and groups are limited to 12 people; all food must be stored in bear canisters.

The area features scenic ocean views, sea stacks, and wildlife viewing opportunities, though parking is very limited (approximately 20 spaces) at the trailhead and camping space can be scarce during summer months.
