I actually love this place. Which is why I recommended so much. I feel really frustrated and tricked Buy the unclear website. My poor friends, who flew out all the way here from Georgia to visit me while I was in hospice care. Wanted to do something special on a day that was their anniversary. So of course, I gathered all the information. Tell them exactly what they would need, they prepared for the cold weather, and drove all the way up there only to find it closed. That’s a long drive on a very special important day to find out that a place that says they’re open with huge big font… And then later I come to scroll down and find super tiny font with an operating season. That is not inclusive of today. So why do you say you’re open if you’re not open?! In my opinion, you owe both of my friends, plane, tickets and gas money and an entire weekend comped at your resort for their anniversary. Gross.

I only enjoy the hot springs, although the last sesion, the water was barely warm and it was awful. No discounts were given. I would be super upset if I got there and the water was barely warm. We were heading out and this was during our last sesion. The shower water was barely worn. Everyone was cold and miserable! The room is decent, somewhat clean. Not visibly dirty but there was a long spiderweb from our light to the ceiling. I have been there several times so came prepared. The cabins are super expensive with little camodities. Clean bed, table, Basics line bathroom and running water with soap. And a keureg. Not even a microwave. Did not eat at the restaurant, food is decent but everything is pricey. Ok service, cannot complain about anything specific except for the lukewarm water, but nothing great t For their prices. It is a beautiful nature place though and I enjoy it, so go back about once a year or so.

I only used the hot springs, but there isn't anywhere to leave a separate review about it. It was perfect after a day of hiking in October when it was still cold and raining outside because I didn't get overheated. Showers/restrooms were fairly clean, there was a lot of foot traffic so I don't expect 100% especially with the government shut down happening I'm sure that affects their staff. However, the staff working the desk were friendly and explained the process to me (easy: shower before, go during your allotted time frame). Be sure to remove any jewelry you don't want tarnished (they warned me too), hot springs have high sulfur content which is what will turn your jewelry black/blue.

We visited the Hot Springs in August during a three day adventure into the Olympic national Forest and rented a campsite here at Sol Duc. The entire layout was very organized and dispersed well. The location for the lodge was incredible with views of the mountain in the background, and the fog made it look even cooler! To enter the Hot Springs, it was incredibly well priced and featured queen locker/shower rooms, as well as covered area to hang towels outside. The pools were clean and the size of the heated swimming pool was impressive, really did the body wonders to get the hot/cool therapy, felt the most relaxed afterwards! The lifeguard on duty, whose name was Grey it was very nice and helped me out when I had questions. The hot breakfast was well appreciated on our journey. We will definitely come back any time of year as the rain we experienced made soaking in the tubs unique; how cool would it be with snow?!

The scenery is gorgeous. The pools are very nice. The dressing rooms leave a lot to be desired. The floors were slippery and slimy and there weren't enough mats. There were no hooks on the walls to hang anything so you had to put everything on wet benches. There were even any hooks at the showers. At the end of our session there was a long line of ladies waiting to get into the 6 showers. Still, it's definitely worth the side trip. The hike to the waterfalls is stunning.

Gorgeous spot. Pricey but worth it. Hidden gem to camp at in the park on the way in or out the north end of the Peninsula. Definitely hit the hot spring too!

Parked here in an RV for one night to enjoy the hot springs. The campground was very pretty but the roads and trails were a complete mess. Giant potholes and mud made it a long, difficult walk to the hot springs from the RV. Also, the service in the lodge is very lacking. We walked there to ask about campground maps and were told they didn’t have any with such apathy!! :( don’t you know you’re a tourist spot and people are going to want to know the layout of the park???? So weird. It’s basically $20/hour to soak in the hot springs which are basically just stinky mineral rich hot tubs. Not natural looking at all, there are 2 adult sized mini pools and one very shallow kiddie pool. They get crowded fast, and are only certain time slots are available so make sure to plan when you want to soak! After wandering a bit, we found a path and walked it until we ran into occupied campsites. Saw some small, not afraid deer so that was cool :)

Loved camping here and would do it again! There’s absolutely no service so come prepared with directions, details, etc. Some campsites had the fire ring closer to the picnic table and others did not which was a minor inconvenience when cooking or trying to stay warm and be near the table at the same time. We hiked to Sol Duc Falls from our campsite which didn’t feel like 6 miles at all then ended the afternoon at the hot springs which was amazing. I highly recommend!

Quiet, huge trees, wet and cold, but a nice getaway! 4 stars because it's crowded, hard to reserve, and has a really short open season. All the wooded campgrounds near the Olympic National Park have a similar setting and amenities, so unless you're going to hang out in the hot springs, you're usually better off somewhere else. Loop B is more private than loop A, many sites are below the road, and there is light cell signal right along the water. The RV camp is bare bones. The Hot Spring water is lovely, especially when it's raining. It has a very strong sulfur scent, sometimes the water is yellow. This is natural and normal, but varies with the geo activity. Temperature in the hottest pool is usually around 104°/105° F. The hike from the upper parking lot to Sol Duc falls is very easy, for a nice long walk, hike Lovers Lane from the hot spring parking lot. Cost - If you plan to spend most of your time in the hot spring, stay at the resort, rooms range from $250-$350 and include unlimited sessions in the springs for 2 people. (There's also a 3 bedroom house that sleeps up to 8 for $500) A 1 1/2 hour session in the springs costs up to $18 per person if you aren't staying at the resort, that adds up fast. The rooms are very simple so the cost is only worth it if you're planning on spending a lot of time in the water or don't own camping equipment. Food and coffee at the restaurant is good, salads and burgers are worth the cost. The gift shop has blankets, alcohol, towels, and swim accessories that you don't see at many of the national park gift shops.

Absolutely a piece of Heaven on Earth!! We stayed in an RV in the campground. Easy access, hook-ups, dump site, etc. Outdoor camp fires were allowed while we were there in April. Wonderful trails to hike. You can hear the babbling river and croaking frogs at night. Camp site is an easy walk to the Hot Springs which were an absolute delight!!! We loved this place and will definitely return. Staff was super nice and helpful.
