Hoh Rainforest Campground

We were stuck waiting in line for 3+ hrs daily to get into the campsite...

Clean facilities, easily accessible. Sink located outside to wash dishes

Lovely destination. My campsite said the parking pad was “severe” (whatever that means) but it is quite flat besides a big tree root breaking through the asphalt. I drove over it with a passenger car. Also it rained 2 days I was there but it’s a rainforest so I shouldn’t have been surprised really. There was Cricket cell phone service on some of the drive to the campsite after the turn off 101. Service on 101 is great. I saw elk, deer, and a grouse and her chicks. I also saw alotta people. Early July on a Monday around 2:00 there was a 1-hour wait to get past the ranger entrance station.

We arrived at the entrance around 9.40 AM and ended up waiting in line for 2 hrs 45 min. The first toilets were super full and unusable, clearly not properly managed, the last ones were fine but had to walk to them since line was crawling so slow. Overall, this initial impression ruined the whole experience. Campsite was nice, trails good, but not worth this sort of wait. I wish it was better managed to either accommodate everyone or have reservation system of some sort to not allow so many cars to day use at one time. Or allow people with reservations to enter separately. Never again

Beautiful campground and park. Peaceful, nice roomy, shaded sites. Easy in and out process. My only complaint is no hand soap in the restrooms. Also a heads up the line to get in the park can take a while so take that into account of travel time. Would love to come back.

Our campsite was nice, the rainforest is gorgeous and all the rangers were very friendly.
Downside no soap in the bathroom. I left soap on two occasions and it was stolen on both occasions. The main bathroom by the visitor centre has soap but not in the campground. This is not a bear prevention method as the garbage was uncovered in the bathroom!
There is no ice. I asked a ranger and it would be a 2 hour drive for ice and you would need to arrive late at night to avoid a long wait on the way back in.
The staff need to streamline the arrival process and have staff pre checking people in as they wait so not everyone needed to pay at the gate. This is an unacceptable and avoidable wait with more staff pre checking. This is also horrible for the environment to have vehicles idling for 1-2hours. We arrived at 530pm and got in around 645 ( we had a park pass and camping reservations).

This is a beautiful part of the park, well worth the wait to get in (try getting in early morning to avoid traffic). The campsite was also very well maintained and a short walk from several trail heads. Would highly recommend!
