Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground

Hosted by National Park Service

New listing

Located along the Sol Duc River, Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground is on the "edge of the backcountry in the heart of the Olympic National Park," with hot spring pools and access to many hiking trails. In the late 1800s, settlers found the hot springs and called them "Sol Duc," a mispronunciation of the Quileute word for sparkling waters. The first hotel was built at Sol Duc in 1912 but burned down in 1916. The resort was rebuilt on a more modest scale in the 1920s, and completely rebuilt in the 1980s, which reflects how the resort looks today. The campground currently offers two tent camping loops that accommodate 82 tent campsites plus 17 RV campsites, all nestled under a lush green canopy of old growth forest. Recreation.gov offers reservations for 76 of the resort's 82 tent sites and for all 17 of the resort's RV campsites; reservations for the remaining 20 tent sites are made directly at the campground as walk in reservations. Advanced reservations are recommended to guarantee a campsite. Each site offers a picnic table, fire ring and paved access. Nearby comfort stations in the campground or lodge loops offer flush toilets and potable water. Hike through dense, old-growth forest to Sol Duc Falls — a 1.6 mile (2.6 km) round-trip hike from the resort — or explore the famous Lover's Lane Loop Trail. The Olympic Peninsula is prized for its wide assortment of hiking trails suitable for all ages and abilities. Watch salmon fight their way up the Sol Duc River at the Salmon Cascades Overlook during autumn. The resort has three mineral hot spring pools with temperatures typically between 98-107F (37C - 40C) and a large freshwater swimming pool that ranges from 50-85F (10C - 29C). The mineral water wading pool runs approximately 98F / 37C and is 6-8' deep; the large mineral fountain pool approximately 101F / 38C and 3' deep, meeting accessibility standards; the medium mineral pool approximately 104F / 40C and 3' deep. The freshwater pool varies seasonally, is 3'-10' deep and is universally accessible. All pool temperatures may vary due to weather and natural changes in the hot spring well temperature. Lockers are available, but locks are not provided, and you may bring your own towel. Guests can visit the Olympic National Park Visitor Center and Port Angeles. On the way to Sol Duc from Port Angeles, experience self-guided hikes at Marymere Falls Trail, Mt. Storm King, or the Moments in Time Trail. Headed past Forks — the setting of the famed Twilight series, as well as home to the Timber Museum — visit the historic Lake Quinault Lodge for a rain forest tour and lakefront dining. And don't miss Ruby Beach for a Pacific Coast beach walk with tide pools and sea stacks.
