Olympic National Park

Before you go

• The park has 13 developed campgrounds. Some are first-come, first-served; others require a reservation in the summer season.
• Most campgrounds take RVs up to 21 feet (about 6 m). Deer Park, Graves Creek and North Fork do not allow RVs.
• Wilderness camping permits must be reserved in advance through Recreation.gov. Trailhead permits are not available.

Camping

The 13 campgrounds range from rainforest and river sites to the coast. Some are first-come, first-served, while others can be reserved through Recreation.gov, depending on the site in the summer season. Most take RVs up to 21 feet (about 6 m), and select sites take 35 feet (about 11 m). Deer Park, Graves Creek and North Fork prohibit RVs. Some campgrounds close in winter, so check the park's page.

Getting around

The park is open 24 hours a day all year, but some roads, campgrounds and facilities are seasonal. RVs and trailers are prohibited on Graves Creek Road and North Fork Road. Overnight parking is not allowed in the Hurricane Ridge lots. Parking at the Hoh Rain Forest fills quickly in summer; the park suggests arriving before 8 am or after 5 pm. Check the park's road and weather information, as construction can close roads.
