Hoh Rainforest Campground

Great spot by the water! Able to hang hammocks and was surrounded by the Hoh forest.

Had a somewhat terrifying experience with a stalker. Old man (60+ in grey springer van parked near entrance) told me he had watched me enter and later came over while I was alone. I was able to politely get him to leave (he wanted me to come to his van to record a podcast). My partner said I should report just in-case as the whole situation was suspicious.

Hoh Rainforest is spectacular in its raw beauty and has a lovely peacefulness to it. It would be foolish to complain about the rainy conditions in a place appropriately named "the rainforest" but it did come down pretty hard on us both nights in early July, so be forewarned.

We didn't see a camp host and there was not any firewood available either night. If you're hoping for a campfire and you didn't purchase wood prior to the arrival at Hoh, you likely won't find wood at the campsite this summer, so be prepared. Not sure if this is a temporary blip, but it was a little disappointing.

Lastly, this is more of a public service announcement than a negative of the campgrounds - if you are going to set your car alarm and go on an all day hike leaving your car parked at the trailhead and you KNOW your car alarm is hypersensitive, just......don't set it! Some doofus in a white sedan set their alarm and left for the day. Every 15 minutes this thing blared out an ear piercing warning that permeated the entire campgrounds and hiking trails. Nobody is driving all the way to the remote Hoh Rainforest to break into your car. Just lock the doors and go on your hike.

Magical place and highly recommended

This is a beautiful location. The facilities were good, and the staff at the visitor’s center were kind and helpful.

Hoh rainforest is absolutely gorgeous. However, the way Olympic National Forests manages the entrance is absolutely broken. The wait for campers is mixed in with day used entry and the only way they let anyone in is based on day use parking availability, even though there are people with reserved campsites. So broken. We waited for almost two hours to get to our camp site.

Clean bathrooms, nice variety of sites that were surprisingly sunny! Enjoyed the easy access to the river, and to the trails out of the visitor center.
