At this time, campers will not have access to the Mineral Hot Springs & Pool or The Springs Restaurant. Take out from The Springs Restaurant will not be available. Day passes will not be available for the Mineral Hot Springs & Pool. Sol Duc Campgrounds will open July 1st, 2020. Located along the Sol Duc River, Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground is on the "edge of the backcountry in the heart of the Olympic National Park" with hot spring pools and access to many hiking trails. In the late 1800s, settlers found the hot springs and called them "Sol Duc" a mispronunciation of the Quileute word for sparkling waters. The first hotel was built at Sol Duc in 1912 but burned down in 1916. The resort was rebuilt on a more modest scale in the 1920s, and completely rebuilt in the 1980s, which reflects how the resort looks today. Recreation.gov offers reservations for 62 of the resort's 82 tent sites and for all 17 of the resort's RV campsites, all nestled under a lush green canopy of old growth forest. Reservations for the remaining 20 tent sites are made directly at the resort as walk in reservations. Advanced reservations are recommended to guarantee a campsite. Multiple hiking trails are accessible directly from the property, with the most popular taking guests to spectacular Sol Duc Falls. There are also onsite massage therapists. Book tent and RV campsites here on Recreation.gov (using the buttons on the right to view sites and availability). Visit the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort website to book reservations for the cabins. Recreation Reinvigorate your spirit: Hike through dense, old-growth forest to Sol Duc Falls or explore the famous Lover's Lane Loop Trail. The Olympic Peninsula is prized for its wide assortment of hiking trails suitable for all ages and abilities. Multiple treks are available, such as a 1.6 mile (2.6 km) round-trip hike to Sol Duc Falls from the resort. \- Watch salmon fight their way up the Sol Duc River at the Salmon Cascades Overlook during autumn.

Situated in a subalpine basin, and surrounded by wildflower and huckleberry meadows, Hoh Lake is a secluded wilderness destination where you’re likely to have more company with elk and black bears than you are fellow campers. The lake lies just south of 5,474-foot Bogachiel Peak and the Olympic High Divide. There are two ways to reach Hoh Lake, and both are long and strenuous. The route from the Hoh River trailhead is 14.5 miles, and gains 4,670 feet of elevation. The trail ascends mildly along the Hoh River for the first 9 miles, then it’s a steep, steady climb for the remaining 5.5 miles. The route from the Sol Duc trailhead is 8.9 miles, and gains 4,680 feet. This route makes a steady ascent to the High Divide, then drops over the other side and descends to the lake basin. The latter route affords more views, while the former route often sees more wildlife.

The camp area at Hoh Lake is a mere three campsites on the southwest side. One group site is located about 0.5 mile south of the lake at C.B. Flats. These are primitive tent sites have no amenities, and Leave No Trace practices should be exercised. Water can be obtained from the lake, but must be treated (boiled or filtered). Campfires are not permitted at this location, but contained-fuel camp stoves are allowed. A composting privy is located on the hillside above the camp area, as well as bear wires for hanging food and scented items. If starting in the Sol Duc area, you’re required to carry your food in a park-approved bear canister. Camping in the Olympic National Park backcountry requires a wilderness camping permit. These may be obtained up to 30 days in advance of your trip, or by visiting a Wilderness Information Center up to 1 day before the start of your trip. Permits are $8/person/night.
