It was very nice and clean. We got there in the dark so it would have been nice to know rhe lantern was on the tent pole by the entrance as we didn’t find it til morning but would definetly stay here again. It would he nice if there was an area where you could prepare your own meals.

The beds were very comfortable, and the tent was just as advertised, however there were only two chairs (for three people) in the tent. Additionally, while none of these items were listed as specifically available, it would have been very helpful to know that traditional camp site amenities such as a fire pit, picnic table and running water would not be available. Also, since there is no electricity on site, I’m not sure it makes sense to have so much of the checking in online.

This is such a cool spot, so peaceful and quiet! The tents and beds are well managed! They don't yet have a highway sign, but as long as you thoroughly read the navigating directions, you shouldn't have a problem finding it. Loved this place

So it’s not at all like the pictures, and not like the other wander campsite I stayed at in Grand Canyon just 3-4 weeks ago which was true to pictures and this was not at all. This place had no rugs, no table or chairs or throw pillows. It was literally just beds with blankets, the beds were comfortable but you would do best if you consider this straight up camping and beds as a bonus, if you consider it to be that cute glamping experience, it’s not. The one in Grand Canyon was more glamping and cute but this was more closer to straight up camping but yes there are beds and clean public bathrooms outside.

Happy Campers

Great place to camp in the woods for the night if you’re a fan of the great outdoors and are used to camping. We stayed for one night between visits to Sol Duc hot springs and the Hoh Rain Forest. Tent was already set up with beds inside and a lantern outside. Inside temperature was comfortable at night and we were protected from bugs and the elements. Shared bathrooms were clean. No noise from cars. Staff answered our check-in questions remotely via phone. Simple shared area with chairs and fire pit nearby. Entrance can be a bit tricky to find as it’s not on Apple Maps, but staff sent us instructions and coordinates. Just keep an eye out for the small “Wander Camp” sign off the highway. Brought our own food and water, but there was a nice restaurant nearby.

This was a poor experience, at first it was hard to find which I had received instructions but the campsite was pretty much all uphill and could not find the site we were assigned to but finally found it. Would recommend that they carve more spaces for parking cause it was absolutely abysmal. Woke up super early and just got the hell out of there. The tents and beds were nice though!

While WanderCamp could potentially be a fun experience for those in Olympic, I would not call it glamping. Our canvas tent had nice cots, but there was not drinking water available at Wandercamp. Additionally, the toilet/shower trailer was very far from our site. When using the shower, you had to hold down the lever with one hand while you wash your body with the other under lukewarm/cold water. Many Amazon, Wayfair, and Walmart boxes were thrown throughout the sites- it looked like the camp was still creating sites as we drove in. As someone who camps with their own equipment, I have had more comfortable experiences doing basic camping with nicer amenities at state parks.

Not ready for guests

We stayed at Wander Camp last year in a different Port Angeles location and that experience is our point of reference. In general, this location is more roughing it than glamping. There is no water spigot, no trash cans outside of the bathrooms, no picnic tables, tiny sites with even tinier fire pits, uneven beds with the plastic on the mattress then covered with the sheets, and cold showers (tried three different times and had lukewarm water for 15-30 seconds). For 24 hours, we had no lights at the bathrooms, no water, no toilets, no showers - and no concession from the operators. This place has potential but they seem more focused on the quantity of sites rather than the quality of the experience. We won’t be back next year and won’t recommend to others.

Horrible

It was the worst experience I've had the tents were all moldy which I'm allergic to and then when I tried to have them refund my money they refused to and told me that because I didn't call ahead to cancel my reservation I had to pay the whole $400 and some odd dollars and I wasn't happy about that and I think it's not right to scam people the tents they show on the photo are not the tents that they have in the camp

Big tent, comfortable bed but that’s it. The pictures are a bit deceptive in that there is no furniture other than the beds and two chairs. The website should list items that you may want to bring, I.e. flashlights.

When making a reservation you will not know the property’s location until the day before. That can be stressful when planning a trip far from home when you know you will have limited cell service. In the email it states to type in Starlight Olympic into your maps. It took us to a property far away. It then states to look for red reflectors which we proceeded to do and ended up driving all over some random peoples property looking for these tents. Thank goodness nobody came out because it was late at night. 30 minutes later we found the correct property. Very difficult to find in the evening. We had tent site 1 which we couldn’t even find a spot to pull our car near. Upon entering the tent we were immediate overwhelmed with the smell of mold. We stepped back out and slept in our car. It was miserable. When we expressed our concern and asked for a refund we were not issued one.

The forest location is wonderful. I would have appreciated having a stable table inside the tent to eat at, and a small wooden deck outside the tent would have been a nice addition. The bathroom setup was excellent and much appreciated.

We are regular campers so staying in a tent is not new to us. We were only planning to spend one night so we brought minimal camping stuff. Inside the fence, there were two cots and that was it. The photo showed several chairs and a table and a rug none of which were there. The floor was wet and the blanket on the cots within and not sufficient for warm when the nighttime temperature was expected in the mid 40s. When we arrived, there was no one there. There were no other cars and no people that we could see. We ended up not staying there as we did not want all of our stuff to get wet by having to put it on the floor. Very disappointing!

The location was beautiful and bathrooms were fine, however, the tent was NOT waterproof. It rained and by midnight, we had tons of puddles and leaks in our tent. Our bags and clothes were soaked, the bed was wet, and the employee communicating with me just said they’d pass along the information. Also, there are no bear boxes for food, so plan accordingly. If there wasn’t rain, it would have been an ok experience, but given that it is in a rainforest, waterproof tents seems like a must have to me.

I drove around for an hour and a half trying to find the location. Finally was able to find it based on GPS coordinates and entering them into my cell phone. Once I arrived at the property, there was no signage to tell me I was in the right place and there was no lighting. There was an abandoned truck a few spaces up that made me feel very sketched out. I drove around the property five times. It’s quite a large property. I was unable to find any parking or any person to help me. Find my camp spot. There was no camping at the area where my campsite should have been there was no tent. When I contacted the people, they told me that there was a tent 00 but I could find nothing there and there was no one there to help me. So I left and drove three hours home in the dark.

I did not stay at the property. I discarded the reservation. I arrived early and found conditions to be substandard and seriously misrepresented in the Expedia listing. Roads were ungraded mud with puddles, accommodations did not appear clean in their access, it looked as if some of the tents were not on level ground, and there was no electricity (in contrast to the pictures provided on the listing), so there was no capability to recharge phones (that I could see). I can't speak to the conditions inside the tents themselves. It didn't feel like a physically safe environment, as I was unable to see any exterior lighting that might make movement to and from the tents to the bathroom facilities practical after dark. There needs to be some investment in the property by whatever ownership group is involved, as it is a decent concept...tents need to be on level platforms with dry, clean access to common shower / bathroom facilities, among other things. I'm sure that there is a demographic that does not mind this situation, but I am not part of that demographic.

We didn’t stay here. We showed up, took one look at our tent and promptly called to get a refund. This is NOT glamping. There was nothing glam about it and it did not look like photos on website. Tents were moldy, carpets covered in mud, no light provided, basic camp beds, and zipper on tent did not close all the way allowing bugs to get in. There was no where to take off shoes before you entered tent so going straight from standing in mud to inside tent. It looked a homeless encampment.
