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.

Beautiful campsite! The rainforest is quiet and far away from any traffic noise. The campgrounds are walking distance to the visitor center and trailheads. This area of the park is very crowded so it's nice to have a guaranteed parking space!

Site A31 was pretty ok, but was just kind of on the grass in full view of nearby sites that were also on the grass. We had some trees on one side of our site, but 80% of the day the site was in direct sun. Overall the campground is good, bathrooms were clean but no soap. Firewood is sometimes available in loop B but not the night we were there. Great location near the Hoh Rainforest trails. Loved being able to drive into this part of the park in the evening to avoid lines of cars earlier in the day.

Our campsite was nice, the rainforest is gorgeous and all the rangers were very friendly.
Downside no soap in the bathroom. I left soap on two occasions and it was stolen on both occasions. The main bathroom by the visitor centre has soap but not in the campground. This is not a bear prevention method as the garbage was uncovered in the bathroom!
There is no ice. I asked a ranger and it would be a 2 hour drive for ice and you would need to arrive late at night to avoid a long wait on the way back in.
The staff need to streamline the arrival process and have staff pre checking people in as they wait so not everyone needed to pay at the gate. This is an unacceptable and avoidable wait with more staff pre checking. This is also horrible for the environment to have vehicles idling for 1-2hours. We arrived at 530pm and got in around 645 ( we had a park pass and camping reservations).

This is a beautiful part of the park, well worth the wait to get in (try getting in early morning to avoid traffic). The campsite was also very well maintained and a short walk from several trail heads. Would highly recommend!

We arrived at the entrance around 9.40 AM and ended up waiting in line for 2 hrs 45 min. The first toilets were super full and unusable, clearly not properly managed, the last ones were fine but had to walk to them since line was crawling so slow. Overall, this initial impression ruined the whole experience. Campsite was nice, trails good, but not worth this sort of wait. I wish it was better managed to either accommodate everyone or have reservation system of some sort to not allow so many cars to day use at one time. Or allow people with reservations to enter separately. Never again
