Rutabaga Ridge
I had a great experience here. It’s a big space and very lovely. Did some trail walking and thoroughly enjoyed my fire under the stars. The old “Danger Ranger” centerpiece was great.

I loved camping here. We easily fit 5 tents and 5 cars. The shelters made for a perfect escape from the rain at night while playing games and in the morning while drinking coffee. The kitchen shelter (which we called chow hall all weekend) is well designed with a space for a camping stove and a bookshelf right outside. Brian was also the ideal host: he was attentive when you needed him, and provided water for the weekend. It was a great place for 11 humans and three dogs.

Good spot for a large-ish group. The covered platform and shed/hut/cabin/? were appreciated

Had a lovely time with friends. Stargazing was excellent the first night with the milkyway just visible. Animals abound: deer, chicken, and horses in the area and elk, snakes, and salmon in the nearby parks. Little shed is a great spot for games and late night chats. The main area has a covered spot for cooking. Plenty of spots to place a tent not all are level but mostly inclined to one direction with little microterrain. Bathroom was an appreciated amenity.

This was our second time camping at Rutabaga Ridge and it was just as much fun as our first trip. The campsite is so spacious with plenty to explore and it’s close to so many amazing activities on the peninsula. Thanks, Brian!

Rutabaga Ridge
Rutabaga Ridge was easy to find with the directions provided. It’s a beautiful, secluded spot that feels completely removed from civilization — perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The property is very well kept, with a safe campfire spot, a clean outhouse, and well-marked trails to explore. We loved hearing the birds and being surrounded by gorgeous trees the whole time. A peaceful place to disconnect and enjoy nature! There are a couple of shelters to use as well.

Great site to get away with a large group. We loved the room to spread out and the kids loved the truck

Great spot for big groups. The little shelters were perfect when the rain hit. Close to hikes down the street and waterfall views.

Great spot! We had a large group and several pets and had a great time. Brian was very helpful and even provided fire wood.

Over priced for what you get. Very primitive. $500 for 8 people four adults and four kids. Everything was very private. Able to let the dogs run and play without having to worry about other people. Trails were not marked or labeled. Little cabin was fun to play in. We thought it would be a great place to store food and supplies. Lots of rodents. Rodent droppings all over everything. Keep everything packed up and secure. After we removed food still had lots of rodent activity. I wouldn’t recommend staying in the cabin unless you don’t mind extra visitors.
Recommend getting some kind of curtains for the pit toilet. It’s a little awkward making eye contact with friends by the fire pit when you are doing your business. Also would have saw dust to sprinkle after your #2 to help with smells.
Disappointed when we ran out of water we were sent to a community center to fill. Thought it would have been something the host would take care of. Also for the price I would have had trash pick up. Host has chicken maybe a bucket to put food waste for chickens.
Leveling out the terrain near the fire pit is a must. No level spaces to put a chair. Made us all very nervous with kids falling into the fire. The property has a lot of potential. Lots of room for improvement.

This spot was great for our family of 7 plus two dogs. We appreciated the outhouse toilet, the shelter where we cooked and prepared our food, the potable water jug that Brian filled for us, and the little cabin with tables and seats where we ate and played board games as a family. Brian gave us easy to follow directions. I would recommend this spot to all our family and friends and we would definitely camp here again. Close to the river and ocean.

We had an amazing time camping at Rutabaga Ridge! The campsite was beautiful with plenty of space for multiple tents if needed, a few little walking trials, creek and two shelters. The old truck was a major hit with our toddler. Brian even messaged to check in when he saw we might be expecting rain. We will definitely be back!

This site has a large camping area, and it's tucked away from the road/neighborhood so pretty quiet. Host was quick to respond, and helpful! Great experience!

This is a great spot for a group! The shelters and tables were useful prepping food and for hanging out. It felt private and the right balance of shade and grass. Would camp here again.

Super awesome stay! If you want to be in nature, admire the stars, and have a peaceful experience I highly recommend. Brian was awesome and responded to my many messages with kindness and patience 😅 probably one of my favorite camping experiences. Even the toilet was enjoyable. Thanks Brian for sharing your beautiful space!

We had a great time on the property! The enclosed area was a lifesaver in the rain. It was so peaceful and we woke to bird song every morning. It is hard to find the correct road to the site so definitely use the written directions provided with the site info! I would love to make it back out sometime in the future.

Great space to camp with a group and dogs! Very private, with nice little trails to explore. The covered areas were perfect for cooking and gathering while it rained. The eggs were delicious and the provided firewood was great! It can be tricky to find flat spots for multiple tents, but other than that it was a great space.

Perfect fall weekend. Brian’s place is a peaceful and private forest. He is a wonderful host who reached out to us by text is to make sure we arrived safely and had everything we needed. This property is close to an Olympic National Park entrance. Quilcene Village Store is a little gem of a market within walking distance.

We had a great time on Labor Day weekend at Brian’s land.
Our dogs absolutely Loved It!!! They were able to run around off leash the entire time.
We had the property all to ourselves and enjoyed the privacy. The only visitor was a deer that we seen out of our tent window in the morning.
If your looking for a get away from the city life and leashing up your dogs constantly than it is a perfect spot to go and enjoy. We will try to make it back next summer.

Great place for a large group to gather! We celebrated a birthday here with a group of 14 and it was lovely! Plus sides were having the two small shelters for when it rained a bit. We enjoyed falls view canyon walk (great refreshing swimming in the river) and Mt. Walker for a longer hike! There’s a very convenient general store a few minutes away for restocking any camping needs! Brian was very responsive and helpful and refilled water for us!

A nice private camp ground. Our two dogs got to stay off leash without worry. We saw owls. The outhouse worked just fine for the 6 of us. Plenty of space to spread out and talk loudly and we didn't stress about the dogs barking occasionally.

The site was lovely, extremely spacious, and private with plenty of accommodations (i.e. the shed served as an adequate storage area and refuge from mosquitoes and the provided tables and covered area saved a lot of time when setting up for cooking). Getting to the site was easy thanks to the provided directions; however, the site sits atop a steep hill so ensure your vehicle is capable.

Brian has a beautiful space with plenty of room for tents and nice shelters for cooking and hanging out. If you’re looking for a well maintained campground without noisy neighboring campers, this is the space!
It also is very well located, so whether you want to hike, swim, paddleboard, or hunt oysters, you don’t have to drive far.

The site was lovely! Lots of room for tents, large fire pit and seating. Quiet and peaceful. Perfect for hanging out all day and centralized enough to get to other outdoor activities. Brian was very nice provided water, use of a propane fire ring (burn ban in effect during our stay) and made sure we were comfortable. Will have to book for a longer stay next time

Peacefully quiet and lovely site. Description well prepared us for the steep driveway access and sloped site with our Model Y and T@G teardrop trailer. Brian was quick to respond to my questions and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed as well as provide suggestions for hiking a bit higher for the views. We knew it was going to be a very wet day and loved taking our hot meal inside the shelter during some of the heaviest showers. The doe visiting the site at dusk and the many birds in the trees throughout the day were a delight.
For us, it was helpful to find the 2 closest fast EV charging stations before heading to Quilcene: Electrify America in Poulsbo and Tesla in Sequim.
