There were several campsites near the river where you could smell human excrement,see large piles of used toilet paper (specifically 16 being the worst), along with garbage littered around almost every campsite and a ton of broken glass. I don’t believe there was a camp host. Several people came by to let us know there were raccoons raiding campsites. It’s such a bummer because the trail and creek are beautiful. (although plenty of litter). Also lots of random hikers/walkers coming through and walking through the campsites themselves to get to the creek and tossing more garbage onto the creek bed. I didn’t expect it to be so dirty, I would’ve brought more trash bags.
We were surprised when we pulled off to find such a nice place to camp. Great tent sites and free hot showers. Would definitely come back!
Great loop of campsites. Open field. Clean restrooms. Rock/Cliff water access. And, wooded campsites with lots of privacy.
Kids really enjoyed the creek nearby and it was great for our tent camping. We were able to hike around and had water, and restrooms that were clean.
Nice open sites with space for multiple vehicles or trailers. Easy access to ORV trails. Expect lots of noise from off-road vehicles and music.
Great campground. Great price. Just had to purchase a Washington state parks pass for $10. Had great biking and atv trails right by the campground.
Very secluded, deep wood camping. About an hour on unpaved road until you get to the actual camp but the drive is gorgeous! Old growth and new baby trees line the roads and there’s about 10+ little streams along the way. The bugs weren’t too bad with citronella bracelets and candles but bring bug spray if you like. There’s river access and lots of trails to explore. There’s even horse trails and a huge horse stall area for a group site/horse trailer.
We drove past 3 piles of bear scat along the dirt road into the campground, which was fine. Our dog growled into the woods a couple of times while on some nature walk which was a little worrisome but with the right tools, actions and preventative things we were fine.
This is a beautiful green, quiet, peaceful campground. We arrived mid June mid week and there was plenty of availability. Sites are reservable or available as drop in sites for one night at a time.
Sites are kind of pricey:
$32 or $37 for dry camping (not sure why the difference??)
$45 for electric/water sites - if we were staying more than a day we'd probably have to opt for one of these as I don't think that we'd get enough sun through the thick trees for our solar panel.
$27 for sites that are near the entrance. Nothing wrong with these sites, just that they are small and kind of close together and exposed, almost like overflow sites.
Showers are token operated, I don't know how much they are but there's a little machine to buy tokens at the entrance.
Nice hikes and walking paths throughout the campground area. There's a large field with horseshoe pits and a group gathering gazebo.
Campground is open year-round.
Cell service is ok with Verizon (roaming) and good with ATT.
The Campground supervisors were amazingly excellent people they as soon as you pull in come around introduced them selves ask if you need anything and they’re always available and always very helpful and knowledgeable in questions you have to ask great hikes beautiful campsites
We got an awesome river spot with our brand new set up. It rained but was a beautiful and oh so green area to camp.
Such a fun experience and had the best spot in the entire campsite! Great trails and swimming spots for the doggos. The campsite was spacious and was plenty of room to fit 2 large tents. Really enjoyed the open field to do some late night stargazing! Overall was a cool place and I would definitely come visit again!
Our site is one away from from the toilet/ bath house there are 6 combo rooms. There are 3 cabins, 12 full service sites, tent sites some w/ electric. Laundry 1 washer and dryer.
Stayed here as part of a 20-person group. Great spot for meeting between Portland and Seattle! Only 20 minutes off the freeway but you feel way out in the country. The only downside is the road noise nearby. People zooming by on the country road. Outside of that, it’s a beautiful spot. Dogs played in the river. Camp was clean and spacious.
Big open park space for kids to play. Hiking along falls is fun. Swimming in hot weather would be great. It was COLD in June. Sites are nice.
This is a pretty nice campground! There are 3 loops, one is dedicated to horses M-F. Both visits I arrived Sunday afternoon and found a few spots to pick from. There’s a vault toilet per loop. No trash, no water, no hook ups so come prepared. There’s a host onsite and they are very kind. You do need a discovery pass in order to stay and just register up front. Was able to get decent sun for my solar so was able to stay for a couple of days with no issues. There’s hiking trails all around you!
Enjoyed the sound of the river right there. Restroom was not too smelly, no tp when we arrived, but most of us prepare for that. Would go again but would be more selective of site. Our spot was a little more marshy but the river spots looked fantastic.
I just completed my third stay at Dragon's Gate, and I've now stayed in each of the different sections (Moon Meadow, Giant Crystal, Jessie's Camp). Each gives a completely different but wonderous experience, either with open views of flower pastures and woods, or a more insular green surrounded by trees. Each reservable space is massive.... 4-5 times the size of most campsites. While you may reasonably run into other campers within each section if you go for a walk, you won't even know anyone is in the other sections, its so private. Sing at the top of your lungs or let your dog roam, they won't run into anyone.
Its just SO pretty. Each campsite is really well maintained- the roads and campsites are mowed, carving into the meadows. There are porta potties and access to drinking water and a great deal on both wood and eggs. Wooden picnic tables are in each site, and a well appointed fire ring. The hosts are really lovely as well, and overly accommodating. The entire site is organic, so they do ask that you participate in their policies of no charcoal usage and leave no trace.
Tenino itself is a cute little historic town, with a surprisingly well appointed supermarket and hardware store, and on Saturdays there's a farmers market.
Mostly, I love how my dog can safely roam, and how, even when I am completely by myself camping, I still feel safe.
Dispersed sites - most standard, but some partial hook up sites available. Forested campground with large playing field nearby. Willapa Hills hiking trail nearby, river access with some swimming available (but no designated areas or lifeguards). Showers available/uses tokens.
Horse camp sites too!
The campsite was clean and our spot was nice and private. Good hiking areas nearby!
Very clean dog friendly
Very pleasant campground. We had our choice of campsites, near hiking trails and the creek. The road wasn't too rough to get there, and we were able to park nearby. What more do you need?
It is tucked away on the western side of the Olympic Mountains, but easy to drive to. Old fashioned forest service-type campground, with lots of vegetation between camp sites for privacy. No services except a vault toilet and garbage cans, so bring water! Excellent base for hiking the West Fork of the Humptulips River trail. First time we went, we took a tent. Next time we took a small trailer. About an hour and a half from Hoquiam/Aberdeen.
Easy to find, fairly secluded sites available (15 and 16) and right on the river which is so beautiful.
We were looking forward to a quiet and simple night camping in our little rented self-contained camper van on the last day of a 12-day road trip. We arrived at the end of the road to find the campground closed, so we ended up abandoning our final night and driving home. The campground is pretty, the creek is clean, the 16 (?) sites are fairly well maintained and could be really lovely mid-week when not full. DNR would do well to post closure information so that apps like The Dyrt can more easily pick it up.
Nice campground it’s pretty open but nice and quiet.
Stayed here for 2 nights at the end of December and had almost the whole place to ourselves - there were only 2 other campers. It was lovely and quiet, but expect to hear road noise from the nearby highway. The bridge to the old growth trails washed away years ago, so you have to drive to the other side of the falls to get to those trails. Some of the sites are really close together. I can't imagine staying here in the summer where there would be little privacy, but in the winter it's a nice spot to relax for a couple of days. The bathrooms were clean and the camp host was very friendly.
It was a quiet place but obviously has a lot of full timers. It took a long time to get set up because of the ridiculously small amount of space I had to maneuver my 33ft RV and my 8ft extended cab truck.
