Avoid walking on or picking up tidepool animals, when submerged or exposed on rocks at low tide. Coastal Camping Camping is permitted along the wilderness coast, except between the Quillayute River and Ellen Creek. Along the Kalaloch strip south of the Hoh River, camping is only allowed in developed frontcountry campgrounds. Read more about current quotas . Only a limited number of traditional type of forested campsites are located adjacent to the beach.
Many visitors choose to camp on the beach itself, which can be done above the high tide line.
These sites offer less shelter from wind, sun and weather than the forested sites, but reduce resource damage. Building a driftwood shelter or furniture is discouraged, as it takes away from the coast's wild character. Toilets and Sanitation Toilets are located at each of the main concentrations of campsites at Cape Alava and Sand Point, and at various other high use camp areas along the beach. In the absence of a toilet, dig a cat hole in the forest to dispose of human waste. See Catholes .
