Gladys Lake Campground

Gladys Lake Primitive Campground is a backcountry camping destination in Olympic National Park accessible via a steep descent from the Obstruction Point trailhead (approximately 6 miles east of Hurricane Ridge).

The campground offers four primitive sites, with two being more obvious and two in less-obvious locations, making it a quieter alternative to other park areas.

Access requires a 3+ mile hike with significant elevation change, and campsites are suitable for both hammock and tent camping, though visitors should be prepared for bold wildlife (deer and bears) in the area.
