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 76 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 campground as walk in reservations. Advanced reservations are recommended to guarantee a campsite.

Kalaloch has no shortage of natural areas to explore. The Pacific shoreline just below provides ample habitat for marine life: tide pools reveal crabs and sea urchins at low tide; sea otters float on the surface of submerged kelp beds; shorebirds nest on beaches; and whales and dolphins occasionally emerge offshore. Beyond the national park's 73 miles of coastline lie three national wildlife refuges and one marine sanctuary.
Olympic National Park has much to explore, including temperate rain forests, ocean shores, sub-alpine mountains, lakes and more. The lush Hoh Rain Forest, as well as the towns Quinault and Forks are within a 45-minute drive.Visiting the Hoh Rain ForestOlympic National Park

Bury your poo & paper at least 6” deep and at least 200 feet away from any water source
On the positive side, this gives you a place to stay. The negative is that it's so tight you you can share dinner dishes with your neighbors next door and likely won't be able to extend your awning all the way out. Depending on where your assigned spot is and what type of rig is parked next or near you, you will probably have to ask at least one person, probably two to move their vehicles so you have enough room to back into your spot. It is that tight. The spring itself it nice, so bring your swim suits, and the park itself is beautiful and well worth the hassle of staying there.
This campground was in the perfect location. There are sites on the Bluffs or in the forest, but either way it's a short walk to the beach. Many sites were pretty small. We had 2 large tents and that was tight, but one large tent would be fine.
Was a very nice site, had facilities. Very close to the rainforest. Did not seem to have many spots, we came in a little later and found a spot available to everyone after a certain time.
A friend told us it was first come first served. Learned our lesson, make a reservation Get sites away from the road. It's noisy.
I stayed at T9 via Airbnb in July 2024. Upon booking I sent a message ensuring that there is wifi due to working remotely,o as their listing states as an amenity, never heard back although saw it was read same day by“Justin”. The listing had this amenity listed so figured it was ok. The day of arrival I get a message saying wifi is not“guaranteed”. I expressed that if WiFi is not working I’d need to cancel as I’ve expressed upon booking I needed this for work, so it was important to me. The owners, Tim and Rachel, were extremely dismissive and condescending. Saying they will not refund for“one small amenity” and they“are not renting a wifi booth”. I expressed that this was important to me and it was in their listing. They were extremely difficult to deal with and caused A LOT of stress. Like other reviews stated, they take something wrong with their property and act like it’s the guests fault. I 100% agree that these are those kinds of people. The location is beautiful, although crowded with spots so close to each other but that’s in the pictures, so to be expected. Bathroom is a dirty pit toilet and had no toliet paper the first day, but known ahead of time it’s a porta potty. I would have considered booking again due to beach views but not with these owners. I’ve reported them to Airbnb, who confirmed they violated policy, offered me a partial refund, and sent them a message of their violation. I do not recommend unless there are new owners. They updated their listing with the WiFi issues, which clearly shows they know it’s a problem, but that was not there on my listing. Do not recommend unless new owners take over who care about their customers and take accountability.
We stayed here and enjoyed the location. Easy to hike to the falls, spend time at Lake Crescent or go up the Elwah.
We usually travel with a pop-up camper and tend to prefer USFS campgrounds or dispersed camping. But we are currently travelling in a rented 30' RV during a holiday week, so we decided to give this KOA a try.
I was pleasantly surprised! We stayed in site 130 for 2 nights, and it was quiet and peaceful, despite the proximity to hwy 101. We arrived late at night and had no problem getting checked in and finding our assigned spot. We opted for a site with electric and water hookups. It had a picnic table and a fire ring, but we didn't get a chance to use them because we were constantly on the go. Our site was $63.99/night.
They have Wifi, which was a nice feature that we weren't expecting. There is a picnic pavilion, horseshoes, tetherball, a swimming pool, a playground, a game room, and these really cool looking big wheel things that you can rent for $5/30 minutes. There is also a nice little general store that offers most things a camper could need. The folks who work there are very friendly and helpful. They offer free showers and a sink with hot water for washing dishes also. There is a large laundry room, but we didn't use it. We refilled on water and propane and we used their dump station before we left.
Overall, this KOA was clean and quiet and offered many amenities. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for "camping" with all the luxuries of home.
Doesn't exist and they closed off all other camping up here. Absolutely nowhere to camp anymore.
Large campground with a ton and of unique spots. Tree of life within 150 yard walk from anywhere in the campground. Many sites on bluffs overlooking the pacific. A few water view spots have been permanently closed for risk of collapsing. We got here around 11am on a Friday and the campground filled up very fast not long after that. Get here early!
Very close to Rialto beach, low tide is in the morning, perfect distance to get there early. Bathrooms well kept, beautiful sites, some are pull ins and some pull throughs. Also some tent sites as well. Moss covered trees and a beautiful setting. You can purchase firewood at several houses along the drive into the campground. Not many people here, the season is still a few weeks away. Loop C was temporarily closed.
I've stayed at this spot before and it was quite lovely, local people and loging trucks drive up and down the road, but this last stay here my boyfriend and I were forced to leave due to someone setting off 3 explosives and firing a pistol 6 times on the other side of the river from us (the last explosion was thrown in the river practically at our tent). I don't know if this person even noticed (or cared to notice) the campfire smoke or the blue tarps because the site is quite exposed. Luckily forks is really close and we slept in a motel that night, but its still rude that we had to cut our trip short at all.
Three separate camping areas. The RV park is tightly packed with full hookups, dump site down the road. Loops A and B are dry sites with restroom buildings and water spigots. The camping loops are quiet, nestled in the woods with good campfire rings and tables. B55 was great for a smaller camper, our Aliner Ranger fit great with the tow vehicle perpendicular. Some of the sites accommodated larger Airstreams, while some just a car with tent areas away from parking. Overall awesome spot.
This was a great campsite. It really close to forks and la push. Good cell reception. Only big downside is how close it is to the road so you can hear cars driving by
This campsite is a great established site with lots of space and walking distance from the lovers lane trail head and the sol doc hot springs. Make sure to do both! This site is also near crescent lake, so it’s a great place to stay if trying to do both! Bathrooms were standard. There are showers at the hot springs as well as a little store.
Small but beautiful. Nestled in the forest right by the river. Was half full during the week at the start of November. Toilets were in decent condition. No hesitation to stay there again.
Camping right on the ocean it was lovely we watched the sun set it wasn't the cheapest campsite we've been to but it was worth in it had great amenities and tho it wasn't right on the ocean it was only a short walk I would love to stay again in the future
Good for a one night stop on your way to somewhere (what we did). Close to Forks and Olympic NP.
Level spots, some small, some large. Some grass some cement. Price changed depending on size site you choose.
One of the smaller state parks I have been too but it had a dump station etc and was quiet as far as neighbors. It is right off the hwy so some hwy noise. We did have cellphone reception and bathrooms were clean. A ranger was around and asked if we needed help with anything.
It's not a KOA, but it does the trick for a one night stop. Even had a hiking trail! A couple miles from a grocery store.
Quiet campground. Unfortunately, it was raining quite a bit when we were there and Rialto Beach was closed due to hazardous conditions. Ocean was wild and apparently log depris can fly around. It was your usual well maintained national park campground. Bathrooms were clean. Spots were level. We did NOT have cell reception.
It was close to Forks so you can check out all the Twilight items in the town if you are a twilight fan. You can also check out the La Push beaches. We went there when Rialto beach was closed. Gotta love Washington State rain!!!
Beautiful but busy area. The sites were laid out weird, with little to no privacy between sites. There was no river access from the campground which was unfortunate. The resort itself was so busy and did not look peaceful to soak in. We spent most of our days exploring the park and the coast. It is nice that it is close to the falls but they are also very busy. Long drive back to civilization. I have stayed at much better campgrounds in Washington, and was a bit disappointed by this one.
Our family of four continued our trek out to the peninsula and made a base camp out of Whisky Creek, and we couldn’t have been more blessed with a better place! Beach access, gated community, rec area, fire pit, and picnic tables! Not to mention one of the most beautiful views we’ve ever seen! And if you still need to be connected to the modern word… Wi-Fi access is available and fast!
Bogachiel campground has a great dump station. The cost is $5 and that also includes drinking water. You can also pay just for the fresh water. Either way it is the same cost. Very well kept and easy to get in and out of with my truck and 32 foot trailer.
Mora was so close to Rialto beach, only a 3 minute drive or so. Our site was D71, which was next to the Mora road so we could hear the traffic but nothing too bothersome at night. Bathrooms were clean, no showers though. It seemed like there was a trail that headed towards the Rialto beach but not sure if it does lead there. Overall, lovely campground and will revisit!
Amazing little stop. Needed a shower after attending overland expo before heading into our next leg. Showers, electric and water at the sites make this a win if you’re in the area.
The site was small, but the beach access was amazing.
Easy to miss pull in to the dispersed site with river views and access. Small but intimate tent site with nice fire ring. Logging season was in full swing when we stayed, so lots of trucks hauling off the mountain started early.
We loved our night in the rainforest. The campsite and campground provided us ample opportunity to explore all the ways that plants from small to large thrive in the rainforest. Great access to Rialto beach for the hike out to the hole in the rock at low tide.
The campground is tiny but spots are spaced out.. only 8 places and it first come first serve. We had a spot right on the river only by getting super lucky and the folks drove out as we entered.
