Campers will find Teresa's campsite to be a well-maintained and inviting spot, ideal for those looking to explore the Olympic National Park. Reviewers appreciated the clean facilities, helpful host, and the site's proximity to natural attractions like Crescent Lake. The communal setup encourages social interaction, though some guests noted the absence of individual fire pits and the presence of early morning roosters. Overall, it's a convenient and friendly place for a camping getaway, though some might miss a bit more privacy.

We had an excellent time here! Teresa was so responsive and helpful, we even had a snafu with some of our gear and she came to the rescue! We stayed at site 6 , very pleasant, great to have a picnic table provided. would definitely stay again!

Site 1 - Tenting in the cedars
The campsites were clean and easily situated near the parking lot, yet shaded by trees. We stayed one night and had an easeful time. We also loved meeting the farm animals next door--goats, horses, and rabbits!

Great place to rest your head when out adventuring! We camped in spot 5 with friends. There was plenty of room, and a big tree with lots of shade. The porta potty was very clean and there was a nice sink to be able to wash your dishes in. We did take advantage of the community propane fire pit since there was a burn ban. It was a nice option. Overall you can't beat the proximity to Lake Crescent and Salt Creek Recreation area, both are just 10 min away!

This was my first time using Hipcamp and it was a great experience. The weather was crappy and the was a burn ban, but Teresa was kind enough to put her propane fire pit in the communal area for us to stay warm. She came and check in on us like any camp host at a campground would do. She was extremely accommodating and had all the amenities you'd need at a camp site. Even let us watch a movie on a projector in the common area. Would definitely return!

My girlfriend and I had a great time here! Amenities were clean and very accessible, everyone was friendly, the property was clean and had things to do for all ages. The neighbors do have very loud roosters and chickens which to some may be disturbing at early morning times. There was great accessibility to adventures and very grateful for a thoughtful and kind host!

Site 8 - Tenting in the cedars
Large site and under the shade of a tree. Really lovely spot to just hang out and rest on a sunny warm afternoon. Access to dishwashing station and porta potties (super clean and well maintained too!!) and lots of toys for the kids. Communal fire pit area all to ourselves one of the nights. And just generally a really nice spot to stay. The Zipline was a hit. Our last day we had the camp almost to ourselves and woke up to a couple of deer wondering around having breakfast which made the kids day!

I have nothing bad to say about this hipcamp!
It was easy to find and it was close to multiple national park entrances. (Crescent lake and port angeles)
We have a large tent so we like when hipcamps have a decent sized grassy field to put up a tent in and this one did not disappoint.
Site 5 was right in front making it easy to get to from the driveway. Slight slope but none of my companions complained about it in the tent.
Plenty of space for a canopy over our picnic table.
If we would change anything, it would be having a campfire pit at our site, just because our camp was quite chilly at night without it, and we used all our lantern battery without firelight. But we knew about the communal pit going in, so can't complain too much.
Just be sure to bring extra light aourcea if you usually rely on firelight at your site :)

Teresa sent a really helpful video showing us exactly where to go, which came in clutch when we got to our campsite later than expected. The bathrooms were VERY clean, and the water tap very convenient. We both really enjoyed our stay, and it was a great base camp from which to adventure into Olympic National! Heads up that the neighbors DO have chickens, and while we definitely heard them they weren’t disruptive or annoying.
Thanks Teresa!

This was an okay place if you need to spend a night somewhere. Not super excited to say that basic needs of a camper is to have a table for meals and such. The yard is kind of small for that many people, so I believe you can find something better for the money you are paying. The host is absent so you are on your own trying and find the solution to your problem. I would not recommend this place

This site was great! Loved that there were very clean portable toilets on site, a sink to do dishes and lots of yard games for the kids. We even met some new friends in the communal area and our son had a blast playing with their kids. Also, amazing area that’s not far from Lake Crescent/Devil’s Punch Bowl and Salt Creek Recreation area. The host was communicative and accommodating too.

Site 1 - Tenting in the cedars
Overall pretty good and very clean. Peaceful area, close to crescent lake. The home seemed deserted though. Never saw any kind of site host person it’s just on the people there to do what they should. Also you have to pack out your trash which for the cost other camping spots have for you. No showers. Some of the sites are really close to so if you go with other friends that’s great. If you are camping solo not great to be right next to others with not site host. We had a great time with friends camping next to us!

Very nice place
I give it four stars. Would have been five if we were able to have a campfire at our site. There is a community fire site.
The host was really friendly and helpful.

The area was nice and we'll kept! It was nice to know the roosters were there before we got there and weren't surprised.
There are deer that come through every day which was cool to see!

Site 5 - Tenting in the cedars
We enjoyed in Teresa 's land. The site was well prepared for the tent. It was site 5. The potty bathroom was as close as about 20 steps. She has yard games and we even did marshmallow in the fire pit. The location is very convenient to discover the olimpic national park and the surrounding.
Teresa was so helpful explaining us how to reach some places.

Teresa is an excellent and VERY entertaining host. She accommodated all of our needs, gave us fishing recs, and shared great stories around the campfire. The campsites are well kept and can accommodate various party sizes. 10/10 would camp here again.

We had a wonderful time camping at Teresa’s place. She was incredibly friendly and provided helpful recommendations for things to do in the area. During our stay, I happened to roll my ankle, and when it came up in conversation, Teresa kindly offered me ice to help reduce the swelling—something she certainly wasn’t obligated to do, but it was greatly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend staying here!

Teresa was so helpful with the check in process. She sent a video outlining everything I needed to know to get to my spot. She was very welcoming. The spot was clean and beautiful. We were the only campers there the night we stayed so it was really peaceful. There were even deer grazing in the yard. I’d definitely stay here again.

Site 6 - Tenting in the cedars
This was a great spot! It is a spot of land in Teresa’s backyard but very spacious. The charcoal grill was super useful for us, and the picnic tables were also a great touch. We loved the fire pit too! It is nice and quiet and convenient to Lake Crescent! I didn’t wake up to the roosters, but my friends did wake me up at 5am as they had been up since 3am from them and couldn’t sleep anymore. So if you are a light sleeper, keep that in mind. I would definitely recommend!

Lovely space with a great location. Teresa was kind and offered us so much in terms of recommendations and activities! Highly recommend site 5 given its size and Teresa’s flexibility.

This is our first booking with Hipcamp and Glamping at tge gateway. It was a great experience! Me and my wife brought my Aunt on her first camping trip with us. She enjoyed the stay. It felt safe and was very peaceful. It's close to Twin Beach which is a good place to hangout! Teresa greeted me on our check out day. She also gave us great suggestions for breakfast! The porta potty was very clean! Site 7 is a good spot! Will camp there again!
Thank you Teresa!

Glamping at the Gateway 2
Teresa is a great host. She provided clear direction to the site and explained how things work inside the motor home. She was very responsive over phone and also available on site. The motor home was well equipped. There was a community fire-pit that you can share with other campers. The porta-potty outside the motor home was clean and well-maintained. There was also a flush toilet inside the motor home. I’d highly recommend this place.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The spaces are quite large, it's pretty peaceful, and was smack dab in the middle of everything we wanted to do. Port-a-potties were super clean, serviced the day before we arrived which was a huge plus. The host was very friendly and gave us a ton of recommendations for hikes to do nearby that weren't on our radar. We will definitely use them again next time we camp in that area.
