About Hoh Rainforest Campground

 The reservation season for the 2026 summer season for the Hoh campground is June 12, 2026 - September 6, 2026.Important information about booking windows: To better serve visitors, Hoh Campground will be releasing campsites in a series of three staggered block releases by loop. These block releases will be 6 months in advance, two weeks in advance, and 4 days in advance. • A loop campsites will be available for reservation 6 months in advance.• C loop campsites will be available for reservations two weeks in advance.• B loop campsites will be available for reservations 4 days in advance.  Outside the reservation season, Hoh Campground is open for camping on a first-come, first-served basis. Some campsites may be closed during winter.  The Hoh Rain Forest, pronounced "Hoe", earns its name from the ever-flowing Hoh River that carves its way from Mount Olympus towards the Pacific Coast. However, where the name originates, is up for debate. The word "Hoh" undoubtedly comes from Native American languages; possibly the Quileute word "Ohalet" which means "fast moving water" or "snow water." Since the river itself forms from glacial runoff, that origin seems straightforward. Other explanations state that the Quinault word "Qu," meaning "boundary," could be the root of the name as a river as massive as the Hoh certainly forms a formidable boundary across the landscape. A third consideration claims that the word "Hoh" translates to "man with quarreling wives." What the actual history behind the name is, appears to be lost to time. Regardless of the name, there's no question as to the allure that draws visitors back to the rainforest year after year. Throughout the winter season, rain falls frequently in the Hoh Rain Forest, contributing to the yearly average of 140 inches (3.55 meters) of precipitation each year. The result is a lush, green canopy of both coniferous and deciduous species. Mosses and ferns that blanket the surfaces add another dimension to the enchantment of the rainforest.

Great little campground, if you're lucky enough to get in! Check in does take 1-2 hours as its a popular location for both camping and day visits, and it's just one ranger at the kiosk.
The visitor center is small and easily overrun; be patient, take your time, and consider visiting early/late in the day.

Bring copious bug spray and cover up if you're hiking Hall of Mosses - it's a mosquito haven!

Disappointing. Not worth the drive there, and the loop we were in was very open and sunny. Not what you would expect from the HOH rainforest area.

The campground was clean. Signage was good. Only one potable water spigot (that I could locate) in a large loop of campsites; too far for me to carry a bucket full of water. NOTE: Get to the National Park Hoh entrance early. When I arrived at 9:15 AM, a sign on the road said it would be a one hour wait. It was about 1.5 hours. Not many people leaving the park at that time to make room for arrivals. When I got to the entrance station, I didn’t have to wait for a car to come out, as I had a campground registration. I had to wait in the same car line, though, as people who were not staying in the Hoh Rainforest.
