Minnie Peterson Campground

Didn’t know what to expect. Needed a place to sleep on the way to the Hoh Rainforest. Site is free with a discover pass which is $30. The site was east to find off the road in the dark. There was only one other group of campers when we arrived, and they’d left by the time we got up. Lots of beautiful old trees draped in moss, nice fire pits, clean pit toilet. It drizzled almost the whole time which was what we were expecting mid October. 10/10 would come again!

I will say we were right off the road which could be more annoying in peak season.

Sweet little campground, maybe 10 sites, plus a hiker/biker area, just outside the Hoh section of Olympic National Park. It’s free but you must have the Washington State Discover Pass ($30/year). You’re right in the rain forest and everything is so lush and green and peaceful. 

Site #4 is for handicapped use only, until after 6pm when it’s open to all users. So maybe something to check out if you’re don't need a handicapped spot and are arriving late and aren’t sure if there will be any sites. We arrived early afternoon on a Tuesday in mid September and there were 3 or 4 other campers here. 

There is no water and no trash service. There is a pit toilet that was so nasty inside- yech. People had also left their garbage bags in the bathroom instead of taking it with them, so disappointing how selfish people can be. 

The Verizon phone had absolutely zero reception (most of the area driving in and all of the National Park as well). I didn’t try the cell booster but I suspect it wouldn’t have helped. The ATT phone had weak reception, ok for some slow motion browsing and texting but not enough to stream. 

You’re on a moderately busy road that leads to the National Park so there’s some road noise. Very little sun or open sky for solar power or starlink (we don’t have starlink so I don’t know if it would work here).

9 sites and a vault toilet. Free with the Discover Pass. Not a ton of privacy from other camps, but a fun spot to lay down for the night.

A nice little free state forest area right next to Peak 6 outfitter store. We rafted with Hoh River Rafters, 3 hr trip down the Hoh River, a pristine class 2 river which was an up close look at the rainforest with ZERO other tourists in site. $75/person. 7 and 8 yr old kids loved it. There’s a restaurant up the road. Our rig was a 33’ camper and double cab truck and we fit. Not all of the 10 sites were this big. First come first served.

Good site, good amount of privacy, and has vault toilets. But need discovery pass purchased online. no onsite pay option, no water.

We found this camp spot after unsuccessfully getting a spot in the whole rain forest campground. It’s quite a few miles back out on the one-way road into the national Park. Only has maybe 10 sites, so definitely pull through here and keep an open eye. We felt very secluded and very private, the lush green trees provided a great shelter. There is only one pit toilet, so come prepared. Decent amount of bugs as well considering the landscape, so definitely bring some bug spray! One of our favorites so far!

I went in midday and it was a long weekend, so I took what I could get. The accessible site was free, but there were no forms to self check in, the only site that was available had dog poo, tons of holes in the ground and reeked of pee. That was site one. No table- the road in is right there and you are directly in line. It’s small. Someone left in the morning and I moved down to site 8. There was a table, but no top or seats. It was a much nicer layout, though. Loud as it’s right beside road. LOTS of tp in the trees around all the sites as no one goes to the toilet (one only).

The neat thing was the small store oeak 6? Right next door. They were really nice.

Its on the way to the Hoh which is nice too.
