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 campground has a wide variety of camp site sizes. This is an older campground and was not originally intended for larger trailers or motorhomes even though many of the sites will accommodate them. They could do a little bit more trimming of trees and bushes around some of the sites. The sites are well spread out so you are not right on top of your neighbor. The dump station has been closed with problems since 2021 with no information about expected return to service. Bathrooms were clean.

Amazing experience. We stayed at 61C and the site was beautiful but we barely fit two tents in it. Never got a bug bite and we were camping in August. Did get rained on but expected as we are camping in a rainforest.
Bathrooms were new and so clean.
Things we did next to the campground:
1. Walked along the river bank. We were in loop c and access is right from the loop. We saw a herd of 20 Roosevelt Elk just lounging with their young.
2. Walked 3 miles on the Hoh River Trail to a small waterfall. Did the Hall of Mosses (my favorite as it is the old part of the rainforest) and the Spruce Nature Trail. All three trails start at the Visitors Center which is about a 6 minute walk from loop C.

Things we did outside the campground:
1. Dinner at Hard Rain Cafe. They also let you use their showers if the campground is not full for about $5 per person. This is just 25 min from the campground.
2. Forks and all the Twilight sites. Lunch at Pacific Pizza. The margherita pizza was delicious. This is about an hour and fifteen minutes from the campground.
3. La Push’s First Beach which is right next to Rialto Beach. You can see two islands with trees growing on top and driftwood on the beach.
4. Saw the Tree of Life at Kalaloch Campground’s beach and did the Kalaloch Nature Trail.
