Why RVers stay here
Sol Duc Campground is the National Park Service campground at Sol Duc Hot Springs in Olympic National Park, Washington, 12 miles up the Sol Duc valley from US-101 near the west end of Lake Crescent. Its 82 sites sit in old growth along the river a short walk from the resort's mineral pools, and it is the dry-camping alternative to the small hookup RV park next door. It suits small rigs, vans and trailers under 21 feet who want hot springs and the Sol Duc Falls walk without paying for hookups.
There are no hookups; a dump station costs $10 per use. Most sites are listed for 21 feet with only a few for 35, so bigger rigs need to filter Recreation.gov by length and accept fewer choices. Sites are $33 a night, reservable on Recreation.gov from March 20 to November 1, 2026, with primitive camping allowed after the season until the winter road closure. Solar struggles under the canopy, so bring batteries and a fuel budget. The trade-off is that pool access for campground guests is unconfirmed; budget for day-use admission and check with the resort.
