This public campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the legendary Hoh Rainforest, a temperate rainforest ecosystem that draws nature enthusiasts from around the world.

The campground's location along the Hoh River provides visitors with immediate access to some of the most pristine wilderness in Washington state.

More experienced hikers can venture deeper into the wilderness or tackle the challenging journey toward Mount Olympus, the crown jewel of the Olympics.

This destination appeals to a wide range of travelers. Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, and wildlife observation, with opportunities to spot Roosevelt elk, black bears, and numerous bird species. Photography enthusiasts come from far and wide to capture the ethereal beauty of the rainforest. Families appreciate the sense of adventure combined with manageable activity options.
