Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground

Gorgeous forest! The campsites are a little small but it’s pretty and the river and hot springs are close.

Sol Duc is a lovely place. Campground is typical Park service. Disappointed that the site description didn’t accurately describe the narrow, slanted pull through site. Nearly hit a tree trying to pull through. Ended up backing in and using a big stack of leveling blocks

Absolutely love this campsite easy access to the hot springs and to the trailhead of multiple trails. Would definitely be returning, it was honestly so magical.

Good place to stop, great hiking and scenery, RV parking is TESLA EV compatible

Do not reserve campsites 8 through 11!

I was incredibly disappointed with my experience at Sol Duc campground. I arrived to campsite 9 for my reservation and was immediately surprised to find that, unlike at most campsites where I can pull my vehicle into the site in relative privacy with plenty of space to get out/unpack/etc., I had to park directly next to a stranger about 40 feet from the site. Now, if this was the only issue I wouldn't complain. However, this was only the beginning. As my partner and I got out of our car, we realized that we couldn't tell where our campsite ended and our neighbors' began. As we inspected the area further, we realized that the only place that we could pitch out tent was *literally* 10 feet from the tent of our neighbors - eight men on some sort of bachelors trip. Literally everything we said would be heard by our neighbors and vice versa - not exactly a peaceful getaway.

At this point, my partner and I called it. We were going staying here for two nights, so we didn't want to deal with essentially sharing a campsite with strangers. So, we left the site and paid to reserve one of the five walk-up sites that were fortunately still available.

Also, while this doesn't affect my review of the campground, since it's unrelated, I thought I would let other visitors know that showers are not available for purchase at the "hot spring" (it's really just a pool with hot water and added minerals - there aren't even natural hot springs in the area?) which came as a surprise to my partner. To shower, you'll need to purchase access to the pool, which is $18. Seems like a missed opportunity to not provide cheap showers, but that's not the end of the world.

Quiet, and fairly clean bathrooms

Platz war in Ordnung. Fürs Dumpen muss man extra zahlen. Geduscht haben wir im Schwimmbad.

I really enjoyed my stay! The location was a perfect starting point for hikes at Crescent Lake, Hoh Rainforest, Hurricane Ridge, and closer by Lovers Lane and Sol Duc Falls. Staying in Loop B is awesome because you have access to the Lovers Lane Loop trail directly across from your campsite. Bathrooms were always in service and lights, mirror, flushing toilet is an upgrade from other campgrounds which lack these amenities. Middle of May and no bugs was nice. Consistent rain and being in a rainforest means as a camper you should be prepared with some kind of canopy to ensure you are not getting soaked while hanging out in your campsite. I opted for a Slumberjack Roadhouse Tarp which was perfect for putting up with 5 days straight of rain and kept us dry. There's lots of options for camping in Olympic but I must say this was as good as I could ever ask!

We stayed at site #26, and were surprised that no one checked our reservation. The site is very close to the restroom and the trash container, but at the same time protected by the vegetation, so there’s some privacy. Overall sites are very close to each other, so you will likely hear your neighbors.

There are trails to the falls and to the hot springs directly from the campsite. The falls get very crowded towards the end of the trail (closer to the parking lot), so I’d recommend going there as early as possible.
