Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground

Thanks!

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.

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.

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 feet 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.

The hot springs were incredible. The campsite was super except very tight to get trailer in and out. The worst, sadly, was that thd bathrooms were out of order for the entire stay and the porta potty’s were stinky and filled to the brim

They have pretty good space with amazing view under woods. Their bathrooms are also neat and clean. Plus they have water available as well. Also, they have fully hooked up sites available if you want to book that. And for all the reserved sites they have common dump station and water hookup available which is paid but not to costly.

The rv section is nothing but a parking lot with electricity. There are no bathrooms, no water, and no privacy. Restrooms are available at the resort while they are open and they are a good distance away. If you wanted to use pool or showers at the resort you had to pay a fee of $18 for a 2 hour time slot plus $5 towel rental. We hiked to the falls which were beautiful and left the next day. I recommend staying in another campground. So many to choose from.
