Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground

Gorgeous campsite in a lovely forest! I highly recommend taking the trail from the campsite all the way to Sol Duc Falls.

Beautiful park to explore.

Nice campground. Clean bathroom (no showers but we used the ones that are in the hot springs’ resort). Tent space is small. There was no bear proof box.

This location should be called Sol Duc Hot Springs and Rain Forest, to let the public know that opportunities to visit the old-growth primordial rain forests exist throughout the Park. The hot springs are fabulous and not to be missed! But there are also some terrific short rain forest hikes, including the one to the water falls. One drawback of the campground at Sol Duc that I experienced is that at least some of the tent sites are structured very differently than at most of the other campgrounds I visited. I had to park along the street in a row of head-in parking spaces. From there, access to several tent sites required a short walk but down a fairly steep hillside with undergrowth bushes. It was raining and dark when I arrived and walked down to check out my assigned site. I had to pass by two other 'rows' of tent sites, and navigate around bushes and rocks on a barely distinguishable rain-wet path. I quickly decided to sleep in my car rather than setting up my tent and risk breaking my neck trying to carry gear down to my campsite. I also could not envision safely waling up the hill from my tent site in the dark and rain to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Perhaps had I arrived during daylight on a day with no rain the campsite arrangements would have worked out fine. But that was not the case. I'm not sure if one can tell from the camp map what sort of site one gets; and I was on the waiting list so I didn't have any choice. But it's something to be aware of--you cannot count on driving into your campsite and pulling out your gear in a convenient way as at most of the other campgrounds (and even some sites at Sol Duc).

Go during the week not as crowded. Bring bug spray.. overall I'd give the 5 days we stayed 5 stars .

While we were extremely positive about our stay in the Olympic National Park, we are really disappointed by our stay at Sol Duc. The camping area that is reserved for the RVs is nothing else than a parking lot with electricity. This is not what we expect from a NPS campground at all.

A25 was disappointing. The folks next to us had 3 vehicles in their spot which made our spot very cramped and hard to get in and out of. A25 is also the path to the restroom, not next to it but literally at the end of our paved pad.
I’m giving this stay 2 stars because of the proximity to the hot springs and Sol Duc Falls hiking trail. The site itself was 1 star for me.

Clean comfortable site.

I love Sol Duc it is a magical place.

Perfect site for a late arrival and early departure. Short walk to either restroom facility but far enough away where you can’t see them from the site. No good trees for a hammock at this one.

Take advantage of the hot springs at the resort. Great way to relax after a full day of hiking.
