Do not reserve campsites 8 through 11! I was incredibly disappointed with my experience at Sol Duc campground. I arrived to campsite 9 for my reservation and was immediately surprised to find that, unlike at most campsites where I can pull my vehicle into the site in relative privacy with plenty of space to get out/unpack/etc., I had to park directly next to a stranger about 40 feet from the site. Now, if this was the only issue I wouldn't complain. However, this was only the beginning. As my partner and I got out of our car, we realized that we couldn't tell where our campsite ended and our neighbors' began. As we inspected the area further, we realized that the only place that we could pitch out tent was *literally* 10 feet from the tent of our neighbors - eight men on some sort of bachelors trip. Literally everything we said would be heard by our neighbors and vice versa - not exactly a peaceful getaway. At this point, my partner and I called it. We were going staying here for two nights, so we didn't want to deal with essentially sharing a campsite with strangers. So, we left the site and paid to reserve one of the five walk-up sites that were fortunately still available.---Also, while this doesn't affect my review of the campground, since it's unrelated, I thought I would let other visitors know that showers are not available for purchase at the "hot spring" (it's really just a pool with hot water and added minerals - there aren't even natural hot springs in the area?) which came as a surprise to my partner. To shower, you'll need to purchase access to the pool, which is $18. Seems like a missed opportunity to not provide cheap showers, but that's not the end of the world.

Beautiful campground. No host on site. Walking distance to waterfalls and the resort. Showers available for $18 per person at the resort

It was early season, a lot of snow, bathrooms closed and sites not cleared. They need to repair some of picnic tables at sites, not sure if it’s bear damage or wear and tear. Overall beautiful location, much better when it’s warmer.

Minimal parking space(s), some sites with more parking than others. At time of booking, available space not specified, reservation said up to 2 vehicles but only room for 1. Hot springs were packed and nearly shoulder to shoulder.

Wow! What an amazing campground. Don't bother cooking your own breakfast. You must eat there!

Campsites are open - so know that you will have minimal privacy from neighbors. With the campfire ban, most of the reservations were no shows so campground was quiet. Some of the sites had broken tables; no way to dry hands after using restroom so bring your own towel. Hot springs nearby (walk in reservations required). Restaurant offers limited menu, to go only. Overall good experience but likely won’t return d/t limited privacy and driving distance to closest store and trails.

Nice site with room for two decent size tents. Sites on the river side have nice access to the river but you have to trek up and down a little slope from the parking area which can get a bit annoying with food every night. We had a visitor the first night that we are pretty sure was a bear based on tracks and scat so make sure you store your food properly!
