Had many of the things I look for in a camping site. Off the main road but not to far, sun to charge the solar system yet plenty of shade to stay cool. And most of all free with Discover pass & great cell service.

Super quiet, about 9 sites spread out okay. No water, primitive sites with tables and fire pit only and a pit toilet. Hoh river is about a 10 min walk. Drive in is dusty and longish, but doable in most cars. It's super dusty now in early August with some mist, but I imagine this place gets super slimy in rain. Bring all your trash out with you. Bring your Discover pass, pen, and paper, it was out of registration envelopes.

Nestled in a grove of tall trees are nine large, well spaced campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and a vault toilet. There's no fee if you are a WA Discovery Pass holder (just $35 annually). Expect it to be crouded here in the summer, or to have it virtually to yourself off season.

Nice little out of the way camp spot on the Hoh river. In the winter there is no one else there. T-Mobile cell reception is great in this area. Discovery Pass required.

Sat night was incredibly busy with cars zooming past until well after midnight. Site #1 was spacious. Boat ramp seemed kind of iffy, no river access for walkers. Park seemed heavily used
