Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground

Pros: Hot Springs Resort were a lovely treat after a long day of driving. The Sol Duc area is gorgeous. A hike to the Sol Duc Falls is an absolute must!

Cons: Zero cell coverage, so be prepared. We stayed at the “RV Court” which is really just a gravel parking lot with electric and water hookups and a small picnic area. But campgrounds A and B looked nicer and more private (no hookups though).

Wonderful

Sol Duc campground was awesome! Great views, wildlife, quiet.
The hot springs were a disappointment. Very dirty and uninterested staff. Children left alone to splash and yell - in the high temperature pools!
Not relaxing at all.

We were able to stay in the non RV campground and it was gorgeous. The camp hosts were dealing with a tough bathroom situation but they handled it beautifully. The sites are huge, the facilities are great and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant is a bit pricey but not unexpected and the hot springs were a fun experience. Lots of people complain about the cleanliness of the pools but they were not unreasonably dirty for outdoor pools. We had a great time.

Beautiful campsite and trails. Quiet campground nestled in big trees. Restroom facilities were just okay and the showers were closed for repair.

Beautiful campground in a lush setting along the river. Within walking distance to the lodge where you can buy provisions. Bathrooms were clean. From the campground you can hike 3 mi to Sol Duc Falls, which are spectacular. While the campsites are reservable, there are 4 walk-in sites that are not. These sites are particularly nice as they are more secluded and on the river.

I like camping in the National and State Parks. But this campground, which was very expensive- $65 a night, was not a great experience. We arrived late at night and someone was camped in our site. There are no reservation tags on the sites. There are not hosts available to question. AND THERE ARE NO BATHROOMS! I know many RV's have bathrooms but our does not. The next morning I found out fm others that bathrooms were available at the next campground, but that information was not posted anywhere. When you pay $65 a night, you'd think there would at least be a port-a-potty available. I was disappointed.

If you book rv 010 drive through just know that you are actually not in a camp ground but instead in a dirt parking lot. Sure you have electricity and water but it is hot and dusty. No charm like the two campgrounds. Photos are misrepresenting and the camp host is clueless. There are no bathrooms there. You still have to pay the national park entrance fee above and beyond your camping. The hot spring water was pretty filthy and full of dead skin. So gross. Expensive to soak in dirty dead skin.

The campground is great, access to river and close to hot springs resort.
HOWEVER, Loop A, space 36 is not an acceptable campground for a tent bigger than 2 person tent, and is really unpleasant for tent camping overall. The tent pad is shoved between two trees and backs against vegetation up to another campsite, with low hanging limbs, with huge roots snaking along tent pad. Our tent did not fit in the space and we had to set it up on paved area (see below), obviously less than ideal.

The space is an accessible campground, so large paved area for wheelchair, and it would be great for a van or vehicle to use/park on the concrete pad.

However, it has been clearly not cared for (firepit covered by overhanging plants) and above re: tent pad/overhanging limbs/roots. I would not recommend this space in the campground for tent campers.

The tent campsite was okay. Bathrooms lacked some sort of bug control (which is okay but very bothersome) There were flies, moths, and winged bugs absolutely infesting the stalls. I don’t recommend the hot springs. They’re expensive and smell like sulfur. Overall not very clean and also not air conditioned in the restaurant/resort. Bugs at the restaurant climbing on the walls. I love the beautiful sights and trails, love camping under the trees. Likely won’t be back however.
