Heart O' the Hills Campground

This is a great campground. We rolled in on a Thursday evening, hoping we were there early enough to snag a spot, since it's all first-come, first-served. There were quite a few to pick from and we ended up with a great spot. By Friday night, there was only a few spots left. The good: flush toilets! We heard owls every night. Also, they have astronomy presentations up at Hurricane Ridge, which is cool. The bad: no showers and the bathrooms in A-Loop were closed for renovation. Also, the fire ban sucked.

Beautiful, clean campground with some very spacious sites. All in the lush, beautiful woods. Love this camp spot. Trailhead right from campground for fantastic hiking!!!

Now Monday in late September, there are many sites available. All sites are first come first serve. It is in the middle of a dense forest area. Burn ban is not in effect here. This is a very enjoyable place. Most sites are small to park two cars. There are several pull through sites for RVs. The Heart's of Forest Trail is off the Loop E. It is 2.1 miles each way through a very nice forest and relatively flat. Dogs are allowed in campgrounds but not in the trails. Tmobile reception is good.

This was by far the best campground I have ever stayed out. We came here after ditching Fairholme campground because it was too noisy. We showed up at 11am on a Friday and half of E loop was empty. We stay in site 91 which is nicely tucked at the end of the loop away from the road and other campsites. The site itself has excellent privacy from other sites around. The loop was 25%-50% and we felt like we were alone. It was so quiet we could sleep without the noise machine we needed at Hoh and Mora campgrounds. You really feel like you're in the trees. You are far from the restroom which is shared with C loop. Be aware that there were a ton of mosquitoes so bring bug spray or a candle. Another pro is you are 20 minutes from Hurricane Ridge and 25 minutes from Hurricane Hill. Right now the road to Hurricane Ridge is limiting the amount of cars up the top. However if you stay at the campground you get to go up ever after the road is closed to everyone else. You are also 15 minutes from Port Angeles if you run out of supplies. Honestly would recommend 100000%

We had a pull through spot. This campground is better for tent camping. Lot of slanted camp spots if using a camper or trailer...and a small teailer...less than 19 ft. Awesome to go up to Hurricane Ridge.
