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.

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.

It is so beautiful here, you could easily spend a week taking day hikes. I just had time to get around the hall of mosses, which was truly amazing and just right next to the campsite.

It was incredibly tranquil and quiet. Our tent site backed up to the river and there was a mama elk and her twin babies grazing directly next to us. Everyone was respectful of the space and the communal bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Highly recommend and wish I were back there right now.

Location! This space is nicely located on the outer further side of the campground along the river. The site is nice and flat and could nicely & safely accommodate more than one tent. The bathroom (clean and maintained) was close by and parking was breeze for a Corolla and BMW touring bike. Generally a nice quiet setting aside from the occasional screaming kiddos. Definitely on the edge of wilderness and a MUST to make sure to lockup everything at night.

Did not feel like the rainforest at all. Sites were good. Bathrooms were clean and maintained. Cell service was nonexistent and no soap in any bathroom at the campground.

Camping in the Hoh Rainforest was amazing. It truly one of the coolest places I've ever been too. The Hall of Mosses is a must, and its a very easy/short hike. I will definitely be coming back to experience more of the park. The campgrounds are well maintained and have probably the cleanest camp bathrooms I've seen.

The only downside is that if you do leave the Hoh Rainforest to see other areas in the park, you will probably have to wait hours to get back in, as the entrance back into Hoh often has insane wait times. It makes it hard to see other things outside the rainforest. I wish there was a separate line for people who have campsites but I know that is probably difficult to implement. You unfortunately just have to decide if leaving for the day is worth it and if you are willing to wait hours to get back into the campgrounds. Regardless the Hoh Rainforest is def worth the trip!

Awesome camp lot, easy access to the river and we were lulled to sleep by the sounds of the river flowing which was nice. Bathroom access is straight across the lot so wasn't far at all. We were able to fit 2 tents (2 person & 3 person) along with 2 vehicles (CUV and Tacoma). Views were immaculate and amenities were clean. The bathrooms were heated with hot water at night; the dish washing station was cold water only. No signal. 4th of July weekend so getting into entrance looked like ~2hr wait if not more depending on time. If you're going at peak summer season, recommend getting to park entrance by 10AM to avoid the wait. Make sure you stock up (food, drinks, etc.) before so you don't have to make trips out of the park, since you'll have to wait each time just to get back in. If you do need to come back, aim for late afternoon after 5PM. Even with the wait, highly recommend!

Loved our stay here! Easy access to a few good trails. We also loved the access to the Hoh River. Spent hours sitting riverside and swimming in the beautiful river!
