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.

Lots of empty spaces for being “full.”
Shower would be nice.
Bathroom ran out of TP early in the day.
Barking dogs need to go away not just there but in all parks.

Great campground! Stayed in site 63 and it was near the river, which provided excellent background noise. Bathrooms with flush toilets and running water (bring your own soap), and potable water available. It was AMAZING to stay in the Hoh rainforest and avoid the hour-long wait to get into the park during peak hours. (but definitely avoid arriving between 10 AM and 4ish PM unless you want to wait in line to get in!)

Had a great time! My girlfriend and I went for my 35th birthday. Got there at about 11am (so a little late for a Friday) sat in line for about 45 minutes but once we got in we went straight to our camp site which was easy to find. It was clean and well kept. Bathroom was close, clean and nice! Of course the Spruce, Hall of Mosses and the couple miles of Hoh river trail we walked was mind blowing! So gorgeous! We checked in on the 28th of June. The weather was perfect! It was pretty busy in the afternoon being summer and all but we camped out and woke up early to hit the trails. Basically had the place to ourselves at 0630-07. Which in our opinion was the perfect time of day. The afternoon hike was like something out of a (Instagram vs really) scene. People everywhere, people getting married literally* on the trail in a gown and the whole business. Anyway we had a blast and cannot wait to get back out there!

This is the most magical place I've ever been to. The sound of the rushing river lulled me to sleep each night. 500+ year old Sitka Spruce trees brought me to awe-filled tears. My soul felt so at peace amidst this magical landscape.

The campground itself was great. Open concept but our site still felt relatively private. Quiet campground. Bathrooms were pretty clean. Would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful campsite. We entered around 4pm so the entry was within 10 min and set up camp. We still had time to visit the smaller circuits.
We packed up early next morning, put the car in the visitor parking and did the Hoh river trail for as long we could. We had this trail to ourself as we started early.

Good and clean restrooms. Saw a deer grazing in the campsite at night.
