Tenino, the area we are in is where the First Nations People used as the Gathering Grounds. The Europeans when they came with their railroad chose to continue that tradition. Tenino is ground zero for the measurement of where one is on the railroad. We fell in love with our farm with its much untouched acres to create a place where people can gather and reconnect with life's natural beauty. We are certified organic, Salmon Safe certified, and pesticide free. Dragons' Gate Gardens is home to many giant crystals and here their beauty works delightfully with the land. The area has gently rolling hills filled with wildflowers during the earlier part of the Summer. Dragons Gate Gardens and Wilds has a hundred and twenty acres to explore. The Skookumchuck River is a little over a mile away where you can enjoy a waterfall and walk along the river with low bank where one can get into the water. Doing so is a great favorite of our guests. There is a giant crystal housed in a gazebo that overlooks the surrounding fields and woods. Time to meditate with the giant crystal in the gazebo can be booked with Kathleen for a fee of $55. We are wild and woolly. We provide a place to experience nature as it simply is. We privilege pollinators above human aesthetics. Wildflowers abound, including various dandelions of which many are edible and healing plants. We encourage converting from lawns to meadow lands being supportive of wild birds and insects. If you like it wild we are the place for you. This is not a resort or English style garden. Tall grass, wild flowers and trees fill the land around you to give you a feeling of full immersion in Nature.

Great option for a group all staying together at the 4 campsites. Running potable water nearby for drinking and dishes, a bathroom on the nearside of the street, and across the street is the hood canal with free paddleboards and kayaks to use!

We had such a great time at Tahuya Marina and Resort! The bathrooms and showers were super clean, and it was nice having easy access to drinking water. Even with a burn ban, the marina had a perfect little spot for s’mores, which our kids loved. The campground made it easy to get to the dock and the general store, so everything we needed was right there. We’ll definitely be back!

The land is 126.5 acres of quiet bliss. None of our noisy WiFi/5G distractions. Just peace and quiet. The ground is relatively flat, making tent and car camping easier, and our site had a fire pit like many of them do. There is a charming outhouse with nighttime twinkle lights, and for garbage, you pack out every last thread and bottle cap of what you brought in. Children and adults (me!) love to watch the friendly cows near the entrance, then you will be guided to your site by one of the two caretakers, who later gifted us some of these unusual and delicious round cucumbers from their garden. Soo good. How kind of them. DGG is a unique place to find your space, and it’s also the perfect setup for large gatherings of hundreds of people.

We really loved camping here! It's our second time here and the only thing I regret that we didn't discover this place earlier. Fairy Queen and Red Dragon are amazing people! They were so kind to show us around their property and let my daughter to play with their bunnies and see baby cow :) They also offered us some veggies from their garden, it was really sweet and nice gesture! My daughter loves both Fairy Queen and Red Dragon so much and she gets really upset when we have to go home. The campsite itself is very well maintained and kind of secluded which gives you privacy and opportunity to enjoy the nature without other people around. You can purchase a huge bin of wood for just $20 which is amazing deal! No doubts it's our favorite campground and we can't wait to come back here! We love it! Thank you Fairy Queen and Red Dragon for such an amazing weekend! 💞

It’s our 2nd time there and I’m sure we’ll go again. The sites are separate enough for privacy. The property is large so we had some nice walks. The river is close which is beautiful and we went fishing. The host is warm and welcoming.

We loved our long weekend away, in nature, no cell reception. We were told site 4 is a favorite of everyone's, and we can see why! Wonderful views. We were greeted right away and informed of the rules. I do wish the pool was open, but it has been closed since 2020. The yellow jackets can be bothersome. We ate our smoked salmon in the car. But that was just a small annoyance. Would absolutely stay here again!! Our 3 doggos and baby enjoyed it immensely as well :)

We had such a lovely time camping at Kathleen’s property. The sites are large and surrounded by trees and nature. We had a large sit that was big enough for 3 adults and 8 kids and still extra room for more tents. It was so nice to be able to have a campfire with all the kids and Red Dragon supplied large buckets of firewood for $20 a bin that we made excellent use of. We also enjoyed the river spot nearby that was recommended. We’d love to return for another visit next year.

Our whole group enjoyed our stay at Kathleen’s place! Check-in process was smooth and they were available for questions as needed. They even had treats for our doggo! The property is huge and beautiful. I would note you have to leave property entirely to access the river on the paved road, I would not recommend walking. It would have been nice for the outhouse to be better maintained - better smell control and nighttime lighting would have been appreciated. Overall would stay again :)

A truly wonderful place to camp. Owners are gracious, welcoming, and have everything ready for your arrival. We (2 adults, 5 yr old and 2 yr old) picked blackberries, had a campfire, swam in the river, explored walking trails, biked on farm roads, and pet bunnies. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend the site. Their land is huge and there are more or less private sites, depending on if you want to talk to your camp neighbors.

Stunning location. So peaceful and well loved. Would definitely come again. Mosquitoes weren’t bad at all, but the yellow jackets really came out when we were cooking bacon.

Check in was so easy, the staff was incredible and were very hospitable. The short walk to the marina and the morning views were so beautiful, not to mention great sunsets. The sound of the creek is really soothing at night. No issues at all. I definitely would stay here again - perhaps in one of the cabins next time! Thank you!!

This is our second time here! I love the beautiful open land and the kind hearted hosts here. Our group enjoyed camping, looking at the stars, and even learned some new tricks on starting a fire even in the drizzle! It was nice to have complete unplug from everything, and still be able to go back online or drive into town if we want. We enjoyed walking around and exploring with my dog and will definitely be back again.

Great peaceful place to camp that is close to Seattle but feels far away. We came midweek and had the whole place to ourselves. Kathleen was super friendly and accommodating and we appreciated the cleanliness of the outhouse and easy access to delicious spring water. We explored nearby rivers and Mima Mounds. Fun time in the woods! Thanks Kathleen& family!!

Kathleen and her hipcamp spot were great! We booked it rather last minute and were concerned about our dog barking at the wildlife she mentioned, but she assured us as long as he was under control, it would be fine. When we arrived, she led us back to our site where we got settled and purchased some firewood. The 3 of the 4 campsites are relatively close together but tall pines create a sense of privacy. We could hear the other sites chatting/car doors shutting, but it wasn't bad at all. The outhouse was a short walk away and had toilet paper stocked in it which was nice. I liked that our site was a partial sun/shade spot so we got a lot of sun in the morning, but the afternoon was more dappled. She clearly takes a lot of pride in her property and she loves dogs; we highly recommend her!
