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.

Camping in lush undisturbed forest is the perfect vacation for stressed city dwellers.
Elk, forest mice and even little moles added to our experience.

Beautiful rainforest with cleanly accommodations nearby. They offer a variety of sites based on what you’re looking for. The wait is quite long to get in as stated on the site.

Our site was a bit tight for our 5th wheel & truck. The information provided on the recreation.gov site indicated our 5th wheel would fit, but didn't account for the extra length of the vehicle used to tow it.

We had perfect blue sky days in the mid-70’s to walk all through the Hoh campgrounds, and many of the trails. Everything we saw spoke of excellent management, from the tidy site clearings, to the trails, immaculate restrooms, and the very friendly rangers in the Visitor Center. One morning, a bull elk walked through an empty lot near our site, as he slowly made his way down to the river, and twice we enjoyed watching a doe with her two spotted fawns. The location enabled us to spend time visiting Rialto Beach before our Hoh stay, and an early start on our last morning to sightsee along the North coast before heading home. It is a peaceful, beautiful location, with dark-sky star watching as an added bonus.

Hoh is great but many of the people staying there are not. There are hundreds of signs announcing the ban on fires and many campers still started fires in their sites. Half the country is on fire! These people are idiots and the camp host/management did a bad job of putting out the fires.

Awesome campground! Immaculate bathrooms. Plenty of space so you don’t feel like you are on top of other campers. Quiet. Hall of mosses in a fun close easy hike through the gorgeous rainforest And ruby beach is a quick 30 minute drive away!
