This campsite was basic. The site we stayed at was right next to the neighbor which was comforting as we set up our tent quite late at night. I have never actually witnessed a bear at a campsite till this one, so bring your bear spray and keep your car locked. We heard bears outside our tent one of the two nights we stayed. The ground was very uneven as well. It was a two-minute drive to the Hoh River trail. A cute trail that shows the mossy trees, a nearby river, as well as a small waterfall/creek for a good 6-ish mile walk there and back. The bathrooms were ok and there was a water picket right next to the bathrooms. There is a super cute family-run cafe where you can buy firewood, merchandise, as well as a variety of food and coffee. The cafe is called Hard Rain Cafe. Highly recommend stopping to visit while leaving the campsite. About a 10-15 min drive toward the coast. We visited Ruby Beach to watch the sunset one night which was a 45 min drive. We had so much fun at the beach.

While the park itself is smaller than you would imagine, the campground it provides is simply amazing! You’re definitely in a rain forest, but there’s also a beautiful blue waters of the river nearby and some mountain views. You’re super close to the visitor center and the trails at the Park provides. The bathroom facilities here were also great, you have plumbed toilets and showers! They sold firewood at the campground which was convenient for us. Would recommend getting here early as it fills up pretty fast

awesome

This is a first come first serve campground, and the good spots fill up by about 3pm, so if you want the choice spots right on the river, get there between 11a and 3pm. The drive in to the campground is nothing short of magical. I kept expecting fairies and unicorns to cross the road. While we didn’t see any mystical creatures, we did see elk, ducklings, slugs, deer, and ravens.

Great for car camping and families, with drive up campsites, restrooms with flush toilets and potable water easily accessible.

Town of Forks is nearby if you want to leave the rainforest for a moment.

The Hoh River is easily accessible from the campground.

There is a $30 fee for a 7 day pass to get in to the National Forest Land in addition to the $20 per night for the campsite. So, the longer you stay, the more you get your money’s worth.

Camp hosts were knowledgeable and friendly.

Nice hikes, the campground was crowded and not very private.

If you are staying overnight at Hoh Rainforest, this campground delivers a magical experience. Loop A offers more open camping with less tree cover. As you move to loops B and C you enter the forest and get to open your tent door to a view out of a ferry tale or perhaps Jurassic Park depending on your perspective with the dangling moss and we’ll established forest. $20/night, clean bathrooms with flush toilets to boot. Loved our overnight and would recommend if you want to spend a day hiking the Hoh river trail.

This is the thick rainforest you picture when you think of the PNW. It is a pretty basic campsite, but they do have some ranger programs. No reservations taken. We stayed one night when our backpacking trip took an extra day. After visiting we read about the salmon run in the area and would love to come back to see that sometime!! There are many more campgrounds in the area if this one is full, most are pretty similar from what we’ve experienced.

It rained the 2 days we where there. When we turned up no one was there and a elk was standing in our camp site. Was super cool. We went early season so they were still cleaning up the sites. No showers on site. Cool hiking trails close by. Big river would be some nice fishing

Visiting the Hoh Rainforest during your time in Mount Rainier is a must - and beyond hiking a few trails, a great way to immerse yourself in the rainforest is to sleep in it.

The Hoh Campground is a scenic, lush campground that was plenty empty in early May. We had a very pleasant stay here since we were arriving in the area in the evening but not hiking into the Hoh until the next day.

Olympic is a huge, spread-out park with plenty of activities to entertain everyone. Even though we visited during the early season, when most mountain activities were inaccessible, we found so many trails to hike and things to do in the low-elevation areas.

Some of our favorite activities included: driving up to Hurricane Ridge, hiking to Storm King Mountain, backpacking on the coast to Toleak Point, and hiking the Hall of Mosses Trail in the Hoh Rainforest.

You can read much more about our five days in the park on our blog: Switchback Kids (Olympic)

one of the best campgrounds i've ever stayed in. loop C has some of the best sites along the HOH river. you have views of the forest, mountains and river with NO OBSTRUCTION. definitely 5 star views, you can't beat it. this is a first come first serve campgrounds. i came july 4th weekend and was still able to snag what i thought was the best campsite there. just be sure to arrive before noon to get a decent spot.

Banana Slugs, Giant old growth trees, and wonderful hiking trails. The rainforest is a magical sot to explore and is highly recommended. We went about 5 miles up the main trail to the waterfall and turned around because of the rain. You have shorter trails to explore and everything is extremely well kept. The parking lot at the visitors center is smaller so arrive early.

Really haven't been anywhere else like this. The huge trees and the quiet are immensely satisfying. The campground itself has somewhat small sites, but that is only where you sleep. Once you get out on the trails, the wildlife is insane. We saw all kinds of insects, the river itself is pretty, but cold. There are 18 miles of trail, and you can camp on some spots down the trail, I passed because of the bears. Can't explain how magical this place is. Can't wait to go back.

More green than you have ever seen! Towering trees dripping with moss. Photo opportunities abound. It was of course raining for part of trip but that only added to the ambiance. Great trails and just a short drive to the rocky washington beaches as well.
