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.

Great campground! It was my second time staying and I very much enjoyed it. Nice sites with plenty of room for tents and sturdy picnic tables. Bathrooms were pretty clean.

loops A, B, C. i stayed in loop A. have a center open area. with small river running through back of 1 side of loop. Loop C is full of trees and ferns. LOOP B one side has very good view of big part of river. i liked loop A. good center open area to see stars and for kids to play in. most ppl hike the hall of moss and spurce nature trail and hoh river trail to see tom creek. which can be hiked in 1 day. but if you gonna backpack then there's plenty of parking for you. we stayed for 4 nights which is way too much. hindsight i would just stay for 2 nights. but 2 days we drove to sol duc to hike to sol duc falls which was very good trail and visited kalaloch beach which kids can play in the sand and see sand dollars. so thats productive. it can take over 2 hrs waiting to get through the entrance station between 8-5pm. i highly recommend enter after 5pm. no cars waiting to enter.

Small sites, no hook-ups but a great experience hiking the rainforest. The Hoh River is also incredible. Be prepared for a long wait to get in.

The campground itself was very nice. However, finding our spot was quite difficult. It was not well labeled when we entered the campground that we could find out site information in the B loop information board (why not all boards, or at the very least, the one at the entrance?). This was made harder because we didn’t have service to get our info from the website we booked on. And all the camp spaces simply said “reserved” without a name or a number. We ended up picking a random spot and of course took someone else’s spot and they were kind enough to show us how they figured it out, but it was not intuitive.
