Developed campgrounds include Kalaloch, Hoh, and Sol Duc. Some remain open year-round while others operate seasonally. Backcountry camping requires permits and advance planning.
Routes range from the Hoh River Trail through rainforest terrain to Hurricane Ridge alpine paths and coastal hikes along Rialto Beach. Terrain varies widely depending on region.
Frequent precipitation is common in rainforest areas, while coastal sections may involve wind exposure. Higher elevations experience snow and rapidly changing weather. Waterproof layers and appropriately rated sleeping systems are important.
