Sol Duc Campground - Olympic National Park

Sol Duc Campground is located near the Sol Duc Hot Springs and a great place to stay for amazing hiking and soaking in the hot springs. 

There are 82 campsites in two loops within the campground. The campground is filled with moss-covered trees. You will want to be prepared for cool moist nights in this campground.

The temperate rainforest receives a large amount of rain each year and you can expect to see some rain during your visit. 

One of the best parts of staying in the Sol Duc Campground is you can hike all day and then relax in the Sol Duc Hot Springs before turning in for the night. You can soak your muscles in the glorious 98 to 104-degree pools or take the plunge in the chillier 50-degree pool.

Located just down the street from the campground so you don't have to walk far back to your campsite. Hot springs admission is additional to your camping fee but oh so worth it. 

You are close to the Sol Duc Falls trailhead, the Sol Duc Valley, the Sol Duc River, and really all of Olympic National Park on the Pacific Coast.
