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.

The Hoh Rainforest Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained setting, with clean facilities and friendly staff. Campers enjoyed the spacious sites, easy access to hiking trails, and educational ranger programs, which enhanced their experience. However, many noted issues with the lack of running water in restrooms and long wait times to enter the park, which could detract from the overall experience.

Hoh Rainforest is spectacular in its raw beauty and has a lovely peacefulness to it. It would be foolish to complain about the rainy conditions in a place appropriately named "the rainforest" but it did come down pretty hard on us both nights in early July, so be forewarned.

We didn't see a camp host and there was not any firewood available either night. If you're hoping for a campfire and you didn't purchase wood prior to the arrival at Hoh, you likely won't find wood at the campsite this summer, so be prepared. Not sure if this is a temporary blip, but it was a little disappointing.

Lastly, this is more of a public service announcement than a negative of the campgrounds - if you are going to set your car alarm and go on an all day hike leaving your car parked at the trailhead and you KNOW your car alarm is hypersensitive, just......don't set it! Some doofus in a white sedan set their alarm and left for the day. Every 15 minutes this thing blared out an ear piercing warning that permeated the entire campgrounds and hiking trails. Nobody is driving all the way to the remote Hoh Rainforest to break into your car. Just lock the doors and go on your hike.

I attended the Ranger’s class about the Rain Forest& later went on the Ranger led hike … both excellent. Even though there were no hookups, the campsite was just what I like. Close walk to Visitor Center.

Great spot by the water! Able to hang hammocks and was surrounded by the Hoh forest.

Had a somewhat terrifying experience with a stalker. Old man (60+ in grey springer van parked near entrance) told me he had watched me enter and later came over while I was alone. I was able to politely get him to leave (he wanted me to come to his van to record a podcast). My partner said I should report just in-case as the whole situation was suspicious.
