Hoh Campground
Forks, WA
Mossy riverside sites in the rain forest. Bring rain gear whatever the forecast says.
Hoh Campground is in the Hoh Rain Forest of Olympic National Park in Washington, at the end of Upper Hoh Road, which branches off Highway 101. The 72 sites sit among moss-draped trees and ferns along the Hoh River. The area averages about 3.55 m (140 inches) of precipitation a year, most of it in winter. So pack rain gear, whatever the forecast says.
From the campground you can reach the Hall of Mosses Trail, a 1.2 km (0.8 mile) loop through old-growth forest with moss-draped maples and spruces. The campground is open year-round; in the 2026 reservation season (June 12 to September 6) sites are released in blocks, with loop A opening six months ahead, and the maximum stay is seven days. There are no hookups, and the dump station is permanently closed. The campground is unsuitable for large RVs and trailers: narrow roads and low branches. The entrance station can have long delays, so arrive before 10 a.m. or after 5 p.m. The visitor center is closed from January to early March, and dogs are not allowed on the trails.
