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 (11.6 ft) 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.

This campground was fantastic. Our campsite felt secluded even though it was right next to the bathrooms. The location was amazing and I hope to return someday!

Lovely campsite with great amenities and clean bathrooms. We enjoyed the ranger talks in the evenings and got to hike the Hall of Mosses before the trail got busy. Only downsides were that our the site we chose that looked like it was riverfront on the map wasn’t actually able to see or access the river. There was also a decent amount of mosquitoes in the evenings so bring bug spray! I would recommend Fairholme or Heart O’ the Hills over Hoh Rainforest campground, but it was still a great campground.

Beautiful campground. Walking distance to river and the two HOH trails, and extremely close to restrooms. Clean. Only downside is people will be walking past your tents as there is a walkway between the campsite, but not a huge deal.

Great campground that is close to trails. Campfire program on the history of the park was excellent. One issue is that charging camper van batteries using solar was challenging due to hight tree canopy. Starlink however worked flawlessly. Very helpful campground staff. If you have a dog, you can hike on the trails that are just across the street from the Cafe located just few miles outside the park on the main access road.

We were only camped at the Hoh Rainforest for two nights, which definitely wasn’t enough, but we loved every bit of it and want to get back. The campsites were nice and clearly marked, the bathrooms were clean, and the trails were well maintained.
