Special Considerations

Summers are most popular and more crowded, as weather is warmer and drier. Plan to arrive early (especially on weekends) to get a good camping spot. Entrance fees (good for seven days) are collected at Elwha, Heart O' the Hells/Hurricane Ridge, Hoh, Sol Duc, and Staircase entrance stations from May through September or later. Camping fees are charged at various locations.

Water repellent clothing is advisable. Bring warm clothing and a windbreaker for higher elevations and cool evenings. Higher elevations are snow-covered from early November to late June.

Commercial tours: capacity of 1-6 people (sedan) $25; 7-15 people (van) $75; 16-25 people (mini-bus) $100; 26 plus people (motor coach) $200.

Restrictions

Camping is limited to fourteen consecutive days. Hunting or disturbance of wildlife in any manner is prohibited in National Parks.
