| South Beach and [https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232464/availability Kalaloch Campground] are both on the water but they are popular. SB is walk-ins only and Kalaloch takes reservations but all are filled? Not clear from the website what happens after the peak season (Sep 16) but nothing is reservable until next year. {{todo}} Call Kalaloch to see if it's now all walk-ins, the campground is closed for the season, or all sites are taken.

| | |
| There seems to be a commercial campsite/lodge there too? [https://www.thekalalochlodge.com/stay/group-campsite Kalaloch Lodge] {{todo}}: call the gov to confirm whether their campsites are closed/walk-ins only now. If the gov campsites are closed, let's reserve a group site at this lodge?

| | |
| If nothing is available at South Beach or Kalaloch when we get there, we will need to bike 22 more miles to [https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234016 Cottonwood Campground]. Around there, there are a few campsites and they should be FCFS but check. These sites are not on the water.
