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.

Because of a full day visitor parking lot everyone in line (including campers with reservations) had to wait 1 1/2 hours to get in and this was in June. Cannot imagine what the rest of summer will be like. They need to do some logistics planning and find a way to pull campers out of the line. We will not go back this summer.

Great location, beautiful area, found with ease (even late at night) just should have prepared better for cold weather. We prepped for around 45-50 lows at nights....it was around 30...so be prepared!!!!

Really enjoyed our experience at the Hoh Rainforest campground. I love the Hoh area and we did all the hikes, which are close by.

We arrived in the afternoon and pulled into our space at A 5. We were tent camping, I can highly recommend it for tents, it's flat and has room for two tents. Being a Rainforest, it rained every evening but the days were dry. We set up a canopy over the picnic table for a dry area to eat. I was glad we brought the canopy, one knock against that spot is there is only one large tree so trying to hang a tarp would be tricky. The only other accessible tree is on the back side of the next camping spot on the other side of the parking space. Fire pit was nice and the picnic tables are solid.

I was a little worried about the proximity of the bathrooms, but it was actually perfect. We were far enough away that we couldn't smell it and wasn't bothered by any foot traffic and you're close enough that you don't have to walk very far if you need to go. Especially nice with the rain!

Bathrooms were mostly clean, but bring your own hand soap.

Area was beautiful and mostly quiet, we had a group come in late the last night we were there that were loud talkers and stayes up late. Not rowdy, but their talking level was more suited for a busy restaurant than a beautiful Rainforest. But that's not a knock on the park itself.

The Rangers at the visitor center and the ones that walked the campground were very friendly and helpful.

All in all, we can't wait to go back, we loved it!
