Why Visit

South Fork Hoh Campground

South Fork Hoh is a remote primitive Washington DNR campground beside the South Fork Hoh River. DNR allows trailers up to 30 feet and currently lists the campground open. Camping is first-come, a Discover Pass is required for vehicle access, and the site has no hookups, potable water, showers, or dump station. Community sources report a small loop and unreliable cell service, while DNR warns that forest operations occur along the access roads. Treat this as a self-contained, road-condition-dependent trip.
