HARD RAIN CAFE

Since 1984 the Hard Rain Cafe & Campground has offered visitors to the Hoh Rainforest a place to get a cup of coffee and a burger, and a restful night in a small campground.  Seasonally operated.

​

 Camping is available March 15-November 15, reservations should be made online, and require a first night non-refundable deposit. Our typical hours of operation during the Spring Season are 10am-5:30pm. Summer Season hours begin in mid- May 9:30am-6:30pm, October and November will have limited hours and days. We will be closed beginning Dec 1.

Fall 2026 Bridge Repair: During Fall in 2026 the Oxbow Bridge over the Hoh River on Highway 101 near the Upper Hoh Road junction will be under repair.  This project doesn't affect our Cafe or Campground operations; however, it will affect the ability to reach the Upper Hoh Road from the South.  Plan to drive to the Olympic National Park from the North (Port Angeles to Forks instead of Aberdeen to Forks). From Seattle the driving time is just slightly longer via the North. This project will hopefully wrap up by 2027.

As traffic to the Hoh Rainforest has continued to grow our helpful hint is to visit the Rainforest before 10 am or after 5pm for the easiest parking and shortest lines.

Serving the extremely diverse group of visitors to the Olympic National Park's Hoh Rainforest is our family tradition.  Our staff are local residents that love to share travel tips and explain the various ways to get back to Seattle (if you really have to leave paradise).
