Located along the Sol Duc River, Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground is on the "edge of the backcountry in the heart of the Olympic National Park" with hot spring pools and access to many hiking trails. In the late 1800s, settlers found the hot springs and called them "Sol Duc" a mispronunciation of the Quileute word for sparkling waters. The first hotel was built at Sol Duc in 1912 but burned down in 1916. The resort was rebuilt on a more modest scale in the 1920s, and completely rebuilt in the 1980s, which reflects how the resort looks today. Recreation.gov offers reservations for 76 of the resort's 82 tent sites and for all 17 of the resort's RV campsites, all nestled under a lush green canopy of old growth forest. Reservations for the remaining 20 tent sites are made directly at the campground as walk in reservations. Advanced reservations are recommended to guarantee a campsite. Multiple hiking trails are accessible directly from the property, with the most popular taking guests to spectacular Sol Duc Falls. Book tent and RV campsites here on Recreation.gov (using the buttons on the right to view sites and availability). Visit the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort website to book reservations for the cabins.

Campground is beautiful! Some spots had more privacy than others between campsites. The bathrooms were very clean. But, we did pick up some mice and if you google it, it seems to be a thing. I get we are outside in nature but also I’ve been car camping and in my camper van for years without any issues. My guess is they joined us at the campground but it could have been at the hot springs resort where we parked for maybe 2-2 1/2 hours. And, my neighbor told me her friends also got mice there too!

The campground and bathroom were really clean. It was uncrowded in October. The campground is located a short easy walk from the Hot Springs. Just make sure you watch your food at the campground. The jays and racoons are not bashful and are very active!
