Hoh Rainforest Campground

Campground definitely lacking some maintenance. Bathroom wasn’t cleaned once during our stay, we arrived on a Sunday. I’d have thought they’d clean it at least after the busy weekend. Husband said the men’s was even worse. Our campsite was fine, though it was hard to determine where the tent area was. The areas with most potential was 2 feet away from the fire pit or covered by posts by road. We went for the area by fire pit. We just kept a close eye on things and it was ok. Some female elk wandered through our loop one evening, amazing. Plan on staying within the park your entire stay to avoid waiting in long line to get in. Very peaceful and quiet. Firewood was available for sale in loop b. No official checking process. Bring handsoap and extra tp. No soap in bathrooms and bathrooms kept running out of tp. Visitor center was informative, hike to the hall of mosses was perfect for our little one.

best ever! A bit rainy and foggy, rain gear will be helpful. We saw deer, and the Ranger told us people once saw Elk on the campsite. I really love the rainforest!

The campsite was just right!
Perfect in all ways. I will go again!

I did not like this spot at all. First of all I'll start with it down poured really bad and it made this camping spot horrible. I get that we were in a rainforest and personally I don't mind camping in rain. But this camping spot had no good spots for pitching up a tent when it's wet. The area literally felt flooded. The only areas to pitch a tent was in mud, or a soft wet grassy area with lots of wet leaves that would sink an inch or two when you stepped in it. I really looked hard for a gravel bar for my equipment and pitch up my tent so it wouldn't get muddy.

Additionally, this spot has absolutely no privacy or enough trees. It's completely open to the elements and people driving or walking by. The trees are just far enough apart that I couldn't setup a tarp to keep the my group dry or setup any camping hammocks to stay out of the mud. With our tarp we had 100ft of rope but even with that we thought it would be hard to setup because of the distance between trees.

I did walk the rest of the loop B and the other spots past 45 looked a lot better for camping. There was actual tree coverage and most looked like they had a decent spot to pitch a tent that wasn't in mud. I literally think his is one of the worst spots for loop B when it's raining. Which I'll reiterate again expect rain cause you're in a rainforest...

The campground was great and the facilities were clean.
