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.

Site was great. Very large compared to others in C loop and perfect because our family had two small tents and one 6 person tent and all fit nicely at the site.
Note that the bathrooms are very close, basically right behind but not too busy or noisy and two walking paths border this site also. So not the most private or secluded but worked great!

We loved our time at this park and will absolutely come back again and again and again. The site provided little natural shade or cover, so come prepared!

The river was an unexpected breathtaking treat. Campgrounds well kept and did not feel cramped at all. Trails well defined and tended to. Unfortunately they don't have a separate entrance for people with camping reservations, so you are forced to wait in very long lines with people just waiting for a parking spot to open. Our wait time was close to an hour.

The campsite was awesome. Really close to the river, trails, and the bathrooms were pretty clean. The Hoh River trail is a really good hike and you can go as far as you want because its an out and back trail (18 mi to mt olympus base). Its about 45ish mins to the nearest towns (forks). I think verizon had some cell service but at&t did not. Really pretty area. I highly recommend.

Campsite was nice and clean, and all the trails and restrooms were within a very short walk. The park rangers lead a couple talks and a hike during the day but didn’t have a chance to check them out. Only downsides were that the faucets in the women’s restroom and some outside weren’t working, and there was a 1+ hour wait to get into the park even at disparate times throughout the day.

Great surroundings but the camp site we had there was very little level ground for the tents. Loved the park as a whole got come see it.

We really loved this campground! It was clean, our site (86C) had enough room for two tents and two cars, and it was incredible to get an early start on the trails before they got too crowded.
