Its busy. They start 80 people each day I think so you share camps with 40 people each night. The nature of the trail and the forest mean there arent many good options for avoiding crowded sites. You can mitigate by camping at the edges of the main beaches but you still have to go to the main areas to cache your food and access water. If you do some research I think on 2 or 3 of the nights you can camp more secludedly if you bring a bear can or hanging bag.
If you want the same kind of hike with mud, beach, and forest with seclusion the North Coast Trail (i havent done it) is supposed to be better though much more remote.
