Heart O' the Hills Campground — Olympic National Park

I like this campground quite a bit. Lots of spaces, you get to drive around and pick your own spot. 24$ a night wasn’t bad, especially being this close to hurricane ridge. Only unfortunate part is that a few of the sites weren’t able to be camped in due to uncontrollable circumstances. Would come again.

Old growth trees, beautiful campground! Looks like a fairy garden. Clean restrooms.

We had an incredible stay at Heart O’ The Hills campground in Olympic. We were doing a big loop around the park and this was the perfect place to start. We went to the visitor center and then got settled, did a quick hike nearby, and enjoyed a beautiful evening under the evergreens. Our site was right on the edge of the cliff (careful with kiddos) and we could hear the running water below. We woke up to mist covering the treetops. It was quiet and peaceful, we have friendly neighbors with pups! We had to bundle up but it was a gorgeous stay!

Beautiful location. I came here outside of the reservation months, so it was first come, first serve. We arrived at about 730pm on a Saturdag, and there were plenty sites available. The bathrooms were immaculate and heated. Though you're right off the main road to Hurricane Ridge, the site was nice and quiet during the day and night. I would absolutely stay again 🤩

Such a beautiful campground, and so quiet - we spent several days here. There was cell reception here, which was a nice treat.  Sites were all beautiful but in our RV we were glad to be able to drive around and pick one (rather than reserve one in advance sight unseen), because we need a level spot with at least some sun for our solar.

Loved it here, would highly recommend.

Great spot! What a place.

This is a great campground. We rolled in on a Thursday evening, hoping we were there early enough to snag a spot, since it's all first-come, first-served. There were quite a few to pick from and we ended up with a great spot. By Friday night, there was only a few spots left. The good: flush toilets! We heard owls every night. Also, they have astronomy presentations up at Hurricane Ridge, which is cool. The bad: no showers and the bathrooms in A-Loop were closed for renovation. Also, the fire ban sucked.

Great spot near Hurricane Ridge..local to Port Angeles for all the amenities. Trails right off the campground. Level spots, restrooms clean, campground quiet. It is FCFS after Sept 20th so we squeezed in here easily and got a couple really nice days before rain began. Also, has trash bins and we had cell service which was nice.

It did not have a dump station, so a bit of a bummer. Dogs not allowed on most of the NP trails. Highly recommend this spot

There are plenty of sites for first come first serve, bathrooms, campground host and water access. The campsites are quiet, mossy, and right at the heart o hills trailhead. It's also very close to the road that drives up to Hurricane Ridge. Lots of birds and smaller wildlife.

As others mentioned, it’s a great jumping off point for Hurricane Ridge and Olympic Park adventures. Unfortunately, during my stay the ridge was close due to wildfires but it was still very close to town and had pretty good reception. Sites are $24 unless you have a veteran or perm disability pass, sites are just a pad (no hookups or dump station, but there is several places to fill with potable water). The sites were pretty tight (I have an 18 ft tear drop with a truck) and not too level but there were plenty of bigger rigs that were just fine.

The campground is located close to Olympic National Park access out of Port Angeles, WA. Continuing on the paved road upslope one can gain access to hiking trails (via side roads) or continue to the popular Hurricane Ridge with beautiful wide vistas of the Olympic Mountains. Campground is heavily forested and shaded. Not a good location for larger RVs due to size of parking areas and tight turns to park.

We camped the weekend after Labor Day and there were many sites available in all the loops. In our opinion loops A, C and E are great for larger tents, vans and trailers/rvs.

Sites B and D were a little tighter and the sites were smaller. More ideal for smaller tents and backpacking tents.

Registration has to be made by credit card, either online or by writing your information down. We were on Verizon and had service.

It’s a beautiful campground and being close to town makes it convenient for any forgotten items or just checking out the area.

Highly recommend if in the area.

A beautiful campground set in large trees. Most of the sites are small and will only accommodate one vehicle, though some are pull-thru and can accommodate trailers. We only had a few choices with our 32ft travel trailer, but there were a handful that would work. Almost complete tree coverage, so difficult for solar, no hookups of any kind, but there is water available for drinking and dish washing at each bathroom. Bathrooms were up to date and clean most of the time, the campground is very understaffed, have only seen Park service staff/volunteers twice during our five day stay. While not a knock on the campground, I do expect better from the NPS. No firewood available onsite and only credit card payment allowed (QR code for web payment or write down card number and place in payment tube). Excellent, easy access to the Hurricane Ridge and Port Angeles area, beautiful country.

This place is REALLY pretty and well maintained. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. There are a BUNCH of hiking trails nearby and the rangers have classes on certain days at the amphitheater.

The bathrooms were clean and there was a freshwater spigot to fill jugs and whatnot.

These spots fill up fast every day in the summer. Come in early to secure your spot. We got lucky and snagged one of the last 2 spots in the campground at 2:30-ish PM

If you’re kicking out into the Hurricane Ridge area in the morning, you can’t stay anywhere nearly as convenient as Heart o’ the Hills. Professionally kept and well run site with friendly host and spacious sites. A little dreary with the shade (good luck if you run on solar) but I’d definitely recommend a one night stay before you set out into this phenomenal area of Olympic National Park. Get an early start on the trails before everyone else shows up.

Just inside the park was the campground. We stayed in the first loop A because it was the only one open. Many sites available this a season. Gravel in the site was nice.

First come first serve camping. Super easy to find a spot and reserve the spot online after arrival. Bathrooms were clean and sites were clean. Campground is on the same road used to get to Hurricane Ridge. I would definitely stay here again.

Make sure if you see a spot you go to the front and out a card in it. Or it’s not yours.

This is a beautiful campsite tucked into old growth Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar.  It's dark and cool.  The sites feel secluded because of the trees, but they are really pretty close to each other.  Most sites look suitable for tents, but the pull-outs for most are pretty short and not level.  Some are not even close to level and a lot of rigs would have trouble leveling.  If you have a big rig or one that is not easily leveled, this may not be a good campground for you.  The bathrooms are really clean and have flush toilets, but only one per loop, so you may need to walk to another loop when nature calls.

Another great campground in Olympic National park. This was close to hurricane ridge and port anglers. Great location between city and nature. Got a spot here the same day as camping. We

Great national park campground right at the base of the road up to Hurricane Ridge in a beautiful old growth forest. The sites on the inside of the loops looked pretty small and some lacked privacy. We stayed at one of the sites on the outside of the loop that had plenty of room and lots of privacy. It still got pretty cold into the upper 30’s at night in mid May!

This a great campsite for quick access to lots of local hikes. Bathrooms were very clean and well-maintained. Campsites were also very clean. No trash and dumpsters were emptied. As of 5/22/21 all loops were open on a first come first serve basis. Rate is $24/night or $12/night if you have an access pass. Campsites are pretty close together, but the campsites were only at about 50% capacity on Saturday. This is just a very nice wooded camp area.

This campground is great if you wanna get up to hurricane ridge for sunrise. The the closest campground. The spots felt a little too close together for me but that’s a personal thing.  they have porter potty‘s set up. Behind them looks like a place for flushing toilets but it was all locked up.

We went in July and it was still close to freezing at night. Just be warned. This is nice to have a fire and avoid mosquitoes. It’s a beautiful kicking off point up to hurricane ridge. Busy, hard to find a spot, but nicely treed

In the Olympic NP, close to Hurricane Ridge to the south, 15 min to town of Port Ángeles to the north. Camped in loop C. Had a beautiful private site. Old growth forest and hiking trails all around. No hookups, no dump station. Each site has fire ring, picnic table. Each loop has a clean, powered, plumbed bathroom, no showers. Would camp again.

This campground is large, forested, and had private sites. We were able to get a site on a Friday by arriving before noon. Note: this is inside the ONP, and you’ll need to pay to enter the national park. The draw for this campground is the proximity to Port Angeles and more importantly Hurricane Ridge. We stayed one night here and got an early start on Hurricane Ridge the following morning. It worked out great for us.

This is a large campground with many spots. We were able to find a camping site on July 4, 2019 with no reservation in advance. Our neighbors were close with little privacy. Thankfully they were quiet and we were too tired to care. The spots had a table and fire pit and weren’t far from the restrooms. No showers available.

Be aware that this differs from many park sites where instead of clipping your envelope to the post at your site, you placed your receipt in a display at a central hub for that loop.

All in all a good campground since there were so many spots still available on a holiday. Close to some easy waterfall hikes and the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center.
