I have stayed at this HipCamp in the past and liked it so much I decided to come back. The sites themselves offer the basics: table, chairs, fire pit, tent spot. But the best parts of this campground are the outdoor kitchens, outdoor game area, and all of the wooden gnomes to find. I would come back here for another stay!

This place is such a gem! Beautifully maintained, quiet, and great location to Sol Duc hot springs and Olympic National Park. Logan was super responsive with any questions I had. The campground is super charming with lots of wooden statues and string lights around. Bonus that there are bathrooms and a shower! Can’t wait to return next summer.

Really cool space. I stayed in camp 0. While folks with mobility issues may struggle a bit with being up hill, I didn't find it to be an issue at all and the cheaper price meant I could stay longer. That being said, all the sites looked great. The kitchen was so nice for breakfast and to cook up the mushrooms I foraged nearby. Eventually the shower curtain will need to be changed but that hot shower in a cold night was amazing. Super close to so many things. I'll definitely be coming back.

It was a really beautiful campsite with a lot of convenient amenities available. The only thing I really have to complain about is that the heater in the tent wasn’t enough to keep us warm at night.

Sol Duc retreat was one of the best camping experiences we’ve ever had. An amazing place to explore, so many great carvings, great people and everything you need to relax and enjoy nature and still be clean, make food and new friends. We will definitely be back!!

The campgrounds were amazing!! the setting was beautiful and the directions were on point!! Everything listed was there: kitchen, kitchenware, running hot water for bathrooms, functional toilets in restrooms. Though the tent had a heater, it didn't do a great job, but thank goodness for blankets! (bring your own sleeping bag if you'd like extra comfort and warmth). was a perfect location for my hikes within Olympic; 30-45 mins to Hurricane Ridge and 15 mins from Storm King. I'd surely consider staying here once I plan my Pacific NW road trip!

We had a wonderful time bringing our son to his first camping trip! The place was super chill. The kitchen was great and the property was beautiful. I especially liked the carvings of mushrooms and nomes. It was 3 minutes from lake crescent and maybe 25 minutes to the hot springs. I would go back any time.

A truly magical place. We loved the natural beauty with the unique wood carvings. Love the communal spaces — especially the kitchens. Very close to some gorgeous hikes in the national park, too. Someone has clearly put a lot of care into this property to make it a serene and unforgettable getaway. Will be telling all our friends and family about this place!

Our site was secluded and the whole property is very cool. Its proximity to the Olympic discovery trail is also a bonus. I would note that the drive into the site was easy for us in a rav4, but could be challenging with anything bigger than that. Sites are small but manageable!

Perfect location to explore the Olympic Peninsula and NP. Although there’s a handful of sites, ours (site 3) was very private and quiet. It’s nice to be able camp somewhere with a kitchen, bathrooms, shower and potable water! Our 2-year old loved all of the wooden statues :)
