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.

Great campground, but took forever to wait in line to get back into the campground as it was on the way into the national park. The park really needs a second lane for campground guests so we don't have to wait with others trying to see the park. The park recommends coming into the park before 10am or after 5pm to avoid the wait times which helped some days, not all though.

Wow, what a beautiful campground. The Hoh campground itself is beautiful with each campsite nestled between huge trees draped in moss. It's at the bend in the Hoh river which is just a quick walk away. Also in the area is the Hall of Mosses trail, less than a mile loop of moderate terrain, but not suitable for wheelchairs or walkers. The campsites are primitive, but our RV has enough water and battery power to make it through the night and even through the trees, our 400w panels gave us enough to keep the lights on and refrigerator cold. We had no need for AC or the microwave, so we never ran the generator.

There is no cell service, so enjoy detachment from the outside world and just connect with the incredible awe of this park.

I dinged it one star because there is no way to get into the campground without waiting at the ranger check in station with the non-overnight visitors. Thankfully this site and Google Maps warned us to arrive after 5pm or before 8am. When we arrived at 6:30pm, there was no wait. But the lot fills by 8am in the summer, even on weekdays, so the line to get in starts very early and you will wait until people leave on a one in, one out basis. We left at 8:30am and there was already a line to the "expect to wait 45 minutes" sign for folks lined up to come in. This included RVs which if they had reservations, there is no reason to wait. There should be a second line for campers with reservations as they have a parking spot and shouldn't have to wait for a visitor to exit.

So heed the advice: Arrive before 8am or after 5pm! Otherwise, you're waiting in line for a long time with NO CELL SERVICE!

But 5 of 5 stars for the beauty, diversity of activities, and connection with nature.

We enjoyed our night here. The ground was nice and flat. A deer visited on the morning. The bathroom was clean. We could not figure out how to get water from the outdoor sink.

Beautiful area. Extremely quiet unless you get stuck next to someone with a generator. Which is my only complaint, they allow generators outside of quiet hours.

The environment this campsite sits in is incredible. The site itself was true to its description. We hammocked and had a level parking spot for our rooftop tent.
