anyone been there ?
whats it like ?
the atmosphere ?
is it secluded ?
what is necessary to bring to camp there ?
any other info.
my boyfriend is taking me on a vacation
and were going there to camp 
I have never been but like most of the Olympic parks they do not have a lot of people camping there. Unless you are going during a major holiday. The weather tends to be wetter then normal for Washington. Check out Washington trails association it is a website with info on cape alva.
I have camped there a couple of times. Its very isolated. There are not a lot of people. You have to be careful with your food. The bears and more aggresive are the raccoons. I remember sitting at the campfire and shining the light in the wood and seeing about 30 sets of eyes from the raccoons just waiting to break into our food. I have also seen elk come into the camp site.
The beach is amazing. you have to be VERY aware of the tides. Its very easy to get trapped on a ledge.
