Best Time to Camp at Ozette Campground

Ozette's coastal climate creates a dramatic canvas that shifts with the seasons. Winter transforms the campground into a moody masterpiece, where silvery mists drift across the lake and steady rains nurture the surrounding rainforest. Expect temperatures hovering between 42°F and 48°F during these months, accompanied by brisk coastal breezes and overcast skies that lend an ethereal quality to the landscape. The persistent winter rains and moderate winds remind visitors they're experiencing the raw, authentic beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

HikingThe campground is less than a quarter mile away from the Ozette triangle trailhead. Reviews praised the trails for their scenic beauty but noted challenges such as broken boardwalks and windy conditions. Steve Hiday remarked, "The hike to Sand Beach was easy - I only did the 3 mile out-and-back instead of the 9 mile loop." Rick Gray warned about safety issues: "DON'T TAKE the Lake Ozette BEACH part of the 9 mile loop. IT IS UNSAFE."
BoatingDonald Long term recommended bringing a boat, stating, "Rec taking a boat there if you have the patience to haul one." Boating appears to be popular among campers for enjoying the lake.
Wildlife viewingWildlife sightings include deer and beavers. Samantha Jean noted, "There's deer that play and walked right up to us," and Louis Tucker reported, "Saw a beaver in the stream."
Beach activitiesThe coastal area accessible via hiking trails offers beachcombing and scenic views. Steve Hiday described Sand Beach as "breezy, lots of logs, rocky, and rough tides," with sea stacks adding an "eerie ambiance."
