Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground

Although the forest was beautiful, the campsite was not ideal. There was no way to see what the campsite looked like in advance. It ended being remarkably small (I’ve never had such a small campsite before across several years of camping), and stationed between a mountain wall, the host’s campsite, and the road. No privacy, and no good views. When we asked to switch, we were told the resort staff/hosts had no direct access or knowledge of site cancellations or openings. They offered us 3 walk-in sites, all of which were too long of a hike for our heavy camping gear. Regardless of the site, the overall campground was beautiful, a close walk to Sol Duc Falls, and access to the hot springs. Recommended campground, but try to research individual sites ahead of time if possible.

Consider SolDuc campground the ultimate camping experience! That is if you enjoy camping deep in a forest of ancient tall trees with thick, soft carpets of moss below. The hot springs pools are clean and hot, though the sulphur aroma can be a bit overwhelming. The highlight of our stay was the hike to the SolDuc falls, the falls themselves are beautiful but it was walking through that rich, quiet forest that was the real treasure.

Thanks!

Wonderful setting amongst the big trees. The restrooms were clean everything else was what we expected. Our only note for improvement was that the camp host was only present for a few hours and not overnight. Some campers apparently weren't aware of the campfire ban and we had to remind them.

The setting is beautiful with all the old growth trees around, The site I was in seemed to be the darkest and dankest in the campground, but I was just happy to have a site. The bathrooms were fine and relatively clean. My main complaint is that there was some human noise, loud rowdy talking, that went on well after 10pm. I kept thinking it would either burn itself out or campground host might step in, but it just kept on.

Sol Duc Campground in Olympic National park is an older large campground in a rain forest. The roads are tight, twisty, and difficult to manage with large trailers and motorhomes (tho some do manage it to my amazement). Under the very tall trees in the forest, we were unable to get solar, Starlink, or cell service. Since there are no facilities, we would spend some time in the resort area to get solar.
The "RV Park" operated by Aramark is a muddy parking lot with logs separating the hookups. To reserve one of these sites, you check at the lodge registration for availability.

Our bad for not taking seriously the reviews from others who described this RV camping area as a "parking lot". We just assumed that camping in a national park would deliver a park-like experience. The forest, trails, and views did indeed offer much. But this RV site is not for us and we won't be going back. The large RV on one side of us had their bikes, and shoes, and scooters spilling into our space that we needed to step over. The just-as-large RV on the other side was kind enough to not extend both of its pop-outs into our space. Yes, we were really packed in that tight. If city-like density and the noise and lack of privacy that comes with it is for you, then you will love this place! Oh, and the water spigot for our site was damaged and water gushed from the ground, which ran downhill into the space where the picnic table was, making the place a quagmire. Completely unusable. We did take a look at the camping sites in the other loops without services and they looked really great. If you are ok hauling your RV into the wilderness without hooking up to power or water, then we strongly suggest you look at the those sites at this campground. If you are going for the hot springs, the RV parking lot is the closest site, but the other sites are only a slightly longer walk along a forest trail.

Beautiful campground near the hot springs resort

camped at both Hoh and Sol Duc and had a great time, clean and quiet for the most part. gorgeous settings and plenty of access to activities, hiking, photography etc.

Campsite 037 was very easy to access and very clean! We parked about 50 ft from our tent and had a bit of space between us and the neighbors. The restrooms near us had a septic issue and were replaced by porta-potties, whose doors close very loudly and were of unlit. The sign for our campsite was also partially worn off, so it did take us a bit to realize which site was ours.
