What campers say

Cottonwood Campground is a small, rustic site along the Hoh River near Forks that draws people looking for quiet, mossy forest scenery and riverside access. Sites are generally spacious and well‑spaced with picnic tables and fire rings, but amenities are minimal: vault/pit toilet only, no water, hookups, or dump station. A Washington Discover Pass and first‑come/first‑served timing are required. The gravel access road is long, narrow and can be dusty or rutted with potholes, so vehicle suitability varies. Sites are limited and sometimes occupied long‑term; cell reception can be variable. Best for visitors who arrive prepared.
