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.

No running water at the bathrooms! Seriously! The sites were nice, flat and roomy but no showers or water. Also took us 2 hrs in park entry traffic to get to the site.

Great spot. Check in after 5 to avoid Hoh Traffic. We did Hall of Mosses from the campground after 6 and had it to ourselves. Nice bathrooms. Large sites.

Overall, this is a beautiful place to visit. The trails were wonderful and park staff terrific. With that said, there are some BIG negatives. The wait time to get into the park, campsite size, and lack of privacy are the biggest negatives. The campsites are close together and many don’t even have trees for shade. The time you spend in line waiting to get into the campground is ridiculous. We arrived in the recommended time window and still waited for over an hour. Two days later, we waited for 5 hours to get back into our camp after leaving to get ice at 8 am.
If you come to the Hoh, don’t leave the park until you are ready to go home!

Camp site 62c was perfect! Little bit in from the road, lots of space! Shaded area mostly!
Only the bad things about it is that there is no stores around it and if you drive out for something, you end up being in long line at the entrance.

I absolutely loved staying at Hoh Rain Forest Campground! I had campsite #49, and it felt very private and peaceful, surrounded by beautiful rainforest. The campground itself is gorgeous and very well maintained, with clean restrooms and convenient places to fill up with water.

One of my favorite things was the amphitheater and the ranger programs they offer. I attended a talk about local wildlife and conservation, including salmon, whales, and other species in the area, and I genuinely learned a lot. It was such a nice addition to the camping experience. There were also short ranger talks in the morning near the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center, which I really enjoyed.

Overall, I had such a great experience here. Between the beautiful and private campsite, good facilities, and the ranger programs, it was a really special place to stay. I would absolutely come back!

One of the better shaded sites in A loop, with close access to path leading down to the river.

Wonderful time at the Hoh Rainforest campground. I biked in so didn’t have any wait. Staff at the campground were polite and friendly. The morning I left the Roosevelt Elk walked through my campsite. Amazing!
