This place is incredible. It's so beautiful and that makes it popular. If you decide to stay here, book early. I had to book my campsite 5 months in advance to get a water-view site, but the wait was worth it. I've been to the Hoh before and this part of WA State is unlike any other place in the country. So of the biggest trees in the world are here including the biggest Sitka Spruce. It rains a lot (155" plus) so plan your trip accordingly and be prepared for rain or to cancel if you aren't. It's $25 a night. The are like 5 sites that are on the water or have water-access. They say you can bring your camper here, but only if it's under 16' and there aren't many sites where you could put it and there are no hook ups, so it's basically a tent only site. The campsites are small, maybe 100 to 200 square feet. There's a fire ring, tent pad picnic table and that's it. If you have a big tent like over 10x18 it might not fit. It had portable water and 2 restrooms with running water and flush toilets. Be warned: the one in the inner camp men's room toilet has a real weak flush and clogs up really easy. Everything was well maintained! The camp is on Lake Quinault which is part of the Quinault Indian Nation, so if you want to boat, fish, SUP, you need to get your watercraft inspected by a Native (you do it at the lodge stores up the road, not the ranger station) and pay the fee. It costs $15 for a boat/ kayak registration ($5 foot each additional boat) and the sticker is good for the year. You have to pay them to fish as well. Jet skis, jet boats, boats are not allowed on the lake, and there's a 25 mph speed limit. No waterskiing or tubing are allowed. That's what's so great about this place...quiet! Nothing like the reservoirs close in. The lake is surrounded by mountains and it gets misty early in the morning and a fog sometimes covers the lake. It's easy to kayak her, but it gets really choppy in the afternoon with white caps, but quiets down in the evening. It rained on our trip and rained hard for hours, like downpour at night. Our neighbors left early! I don't mind the rain though. It was nice! You have tons of hiking, trails, interpretive hikes, huge banana slugs and epic scenery. I give this plax we a thumbs up.

Beautiful campground with lush green surroundings, and of course the lake!
This place has the best restrooms, everything was auto - flush and taps.
Sites 1 and 2 have very little privacy, and I suggest if you are coming through as a group book both of them.
Each site has a table and fire pit, a water spigot is available all around in every two sites.
As you approach the campground look out for signs of sales of firewood, as no firewood is sold at the site itself.
Lake access is via the day area with a fair amount of parking and restrooms.
lots of small trails that lead to waterfalls, and you can spend the time enjoying the water fishing too.
Enjoy

One of the best campgrounds I have camped in. Place is clean and unique the way campsites are organized. Some off the campsites have best view, sad we couldn't get desirable campsite. Limited campsites, so you know why it fills so fast! Washrooms are clean. Nearby there are good options for food and Merriman Falls was best place to visit. Lot of trails, but we didn't do any this time, because we didn't enough time to admire the place where we camped!
