I reserved at camp A for 3 days, the end of August.There were 2 buildings for restrooms at camp A. I couldn't use restrooms 3 days at all. I thought they didn't mind at all.

All was fine in the campground, with the much-needed rain only a minor inconvenience. The fire ban was otherwise.

Go during the week not as crowded. Bring bug spray.. overall I'd give the 5 days we stayed 5 stars .

Campsite facilities were good- tables, fire ring, restrooms. Peaceful too as no major roads are nearby. Hiking right from the campground. Biking on the Olympic Discovery Trail nearby.

Such a great experience. The campground was perfectly situated to go on lots of trips around the area, and it had everything we needed. Would absolutely recommend! We traveled to the Hoh rainforest, Cape Flattery, Sequim and Port Angeles, and hiked to Sol Duc falls. All were spectacular but Cape Flattery was probably my number one!

There are a few things that happening that greatly diminish our abiltiy to enjoy the hot springs.

1st - The excessive and overly bright LED floodlights surrounding the hot springs make it unbearable for us to use in the evenings. My husband has migraine headaches triggered by lights, and especially LED lights. I asked if they could turn the lights off, since it was barely even dusk and not at all dark, no more dark out than an overcast day, and they said no, they would not turn off the lights.
This really wrecks our ability to enjoy the hot springs. Even with a hat on, the lights are still very damaging to my husband's vision.

2nd - They only make the last session one hour. The staff complains that they work a long shift, and the extra 30 minutes to make the last session a full 90 minutes would really impact their day. This is terrible! Also, which for 20$ already feels like a rip-off compared to the pre covid pricing.

We travel a long way to get there, and we have some health challenges that the hot springs could help with. So, while we drive over 6 hours to get there, and get one chance a year to visit the hot springs for only a few days, and the staff can't put in the effort to make the last session a full 90 minutes and cuts it short to 60 minutes.

3rd - Would it be possible for them to put up some sun umbrellas around the pools? The only time of day it isn't sunny and hot on the pool deck is the very 1st or last session of the day, and we already discussed how the last session is cut short by 30 minutes.
And they don't have one single sun umbrella to provide shade while sitting in the pools. This is outrageous and terrible guest service.
This is the only natural hot springs in the state with camping and bathroom facilities available, it is a shame the property management company can't make it a little more user friendly and enjoyable, since many of the guests are visiting due to serious health concerns and may be in a compromised state of health

No water, bathrooms closed. One vault toilet which was totally overused and was required to accommodate 40-80+ people as the campground was full. Wood smoke was so dense in the campground due to campers burning wet wood it became toxic and unhealthy to breath.

The hot springs are a luxurious soak and skin bath!!!! Even when the rain was coming down hard, it was a pleasure soaking in the pools.The camp suites are excellently laid out in the canopy of forest. We will be back!

Beautiful campground

Bathrooms were filthy. Hot springs showers were disgusting at any time except first thing in morning. Shower floors should be cleaned between sessions. Camp bathrooms should be cleaned daily or at least weekly

Really enjoyed the hot and cool pools. Nice atmosphere and a pretty setting. And after a few days of backpacking the hot showers were appreciated. Pro tip - go first thing in the morning for fewer crowds and cleanest pools. I had expected them to be limiting crowd size more so was surprised when there were so many people at a late afternoon session. I went again the next morning and it was much more enjoyable. We stayed at the campground it was convenient and facilities were well maintained.

Relatively clean toilets. Lovely campsite with nestled inside the rainforest

Sites are very close together, little privacy. Not allowed to enjoy the Hot springs benefits of those staying at the resort, so no showers. No explanation why-we assume it was Covid. Only one stall functioning in Men's room. Our reservation was cut short and the park shut down. We were made aware before our arrival, but again no explanation. Reservations for October automatically canceled and refunded. Employees obviously very happy on their last day of work-whooping and hollering about it. Lots of downed branches in sites- obviously no motivation to clean up being the park was closing. Overall a fair visit.

I am giving an excellent as the campsite was large, clean and in a beautiful environment. I would come back again. Toilets were cleanMy personal experience was not good, however as I became ill, but that has nothing to do with the campsiteH Meisl
