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.

Pretty roomy campsite, close to a path that leads down to the river. Could see neighbors, but still felt semi-private. It was shady during the day with the trees nearby. Bathrooms kept up and clean.

Beautiful location, obviously. The campground has excellent amenities including heated bathrooms with flush toilets. The campsites themselves are cozy, the A and B loops don’t have a ton of privacy between sites/the road. There’s no real access to the river from the campground which is a bummer; you kind of have to bushwhack through the C camping loop to get there and even then it’s a bit treacherous to get to the actual river. But the proximity to the hall of mosses and other hikes was nice! Plan for waiting at least 30 minutes, but more realistically an hour+ to actually get into the National park - the gate gets very backed up.

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!

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!
