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.

Spacious campsites line with trees similar to hoh rainforest. not much wind movement so campfire smoke kind of sits, stick around, be mindful of how much smoke you're creating for your neighbors. toilets have no soap, not super clean but better than visitor center toilets which smelled really bad.

A Loop is definitely the sunny loop. B and C are more shaded and "rainforestie." Recommendations are correct. Get to the park before 10 or after 5 to escape dealing with the extra long wait times!

This site is an open field, not private, but also lots of space for equipment. Not cramped at all. Short walk to the bathroom and easy access to the river.

The entry system is absolutely ridiculous! After waiting for almost 2 hours in line to get into the Hoh we decided to turn around and camp somewhere else. There really should be a line for confirmed reservations to enter that section of the park. We had a paid and confirmed reserved campsite! Why do we need to wait until parking becomes available?

Wonderful Campground, Glad I only stayed for 1 night though. The hall of moss is mesmerizing. I hiked it 3 times.

Close to bathroom and water! Some light comes through tent from bathroom lights at night, but not too bad. Beautiful trees and felt private even with being next to bathroom.

Lots of signage to beware of bears and storing food correctly, but beware of small critters as well! Mouse got into our car and ate some food we didn’t store in a hard container. We learned our lesson the hard way! Store food in hard container even in the car!

Love the Hoh Campground. We stayed in Loop B for 4 nights. Enjoyed the solitude, distance away from other campsites, easy walk to the trails, and easy walk to the night-time ranger talks. Thank you NPS for holding onto some campsites until 5 days before they are available. Helps in getting a last minute or a campsite in the summertime.
