North Star Lode

2 sites · RVs, Tents13 acres · Republic, WA
Welcome to our RV sites at the beautiful Republic mountain retreat! We offer two options for RV enthusiasts: Covered RV Site: Ideal for smaller 24-foot RVs or trailers, this site provides shelter and coziness for your stay. Open RV Site: A larger space without coverage, perfect for larger RVs or those who prefer more space to spread out. Accessing our site involves a half-mile dirt road, which is in decent condition but best navigated at a slow pace. The road culminates in a steep incline, but rest assured, numerous RVs have successfully made the ascent. The charming town of Republic, boasting a delightful brewery and several excellent restaurants, is a mere 2 miles away. Both RV sites feature 50-amp electrical service but currently lack additional hookups. For convenience, an outhouse is provided if you prefer not to use your RV's facilities. Please note that while the RV sites share the property with a cabin, we ensure that only one accommodation option is rented out at a time, ensuring your privacy. Rates are $40 per night for each site. Alternatively, you can secure the entire property (both sites) for yourself for $60 per night. Perched atop a small mountain, our property offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the charming old western town of Republic, as well as stunning rock formations and majestic mountains in every direction. Nature enthusiasts and those seeking privacy will find solace and serenity in this idyllic retreat.

Highland Glenn Ranch

2 sites · RVs, Tents45 acres · Republic, WA
Welcome to the Ranch! Leave the noise and bustle of urban life behind, and settle into the peace and beauty of our off-grid ranch in Washington’s enchanting Kettle Range. Dark skies make for unparalleled stargazing! Our Ranch is located 15 miles north of Republic, WA in Ferry County. Just a scenic 30-minute drive further north is the Canadian border crossing at Danville/Grand Forks, BC. We love hosting Hipcampers! A Resource Book is available to borrow offering ideas for local recreation. We are happy to help make your stay at our Ranch special! On the day of your booking, we will reach out as to your ETA. We always greet and escort you to your site, so please arrive as close to Check-In time as possible. If you will be delayed, please be courteous of our time and let us know by calling our landline: 509-775-0204. NOTE: It is 3 1/2 miles on a dirt county road to reach the Ranch; at various times of the year it is quite bumpy (and dusty)! If you have questions about the campsites please let us know. If all sites are booked, contact us anyway- we may be able to create a spot just for you! We have room to grow but are doing it slowly. Each campsite is very private, but the sounds of neighbors down in the valley below do travel during the day. This is also a working Ranch so please be aware that there are sounds associated with our activities (although far above the campsites)- the sheep, pigs, and goats get excited at feeding time; the dogs bark while doing their jobs sometimes during the night; the rooster announces the break of dawn. However, none of that detracts too much from the soothing music of the forest! ~ Take in the native flora and fauna on our self-guided "Woodland Walk". ~ The Ranch is perfect for bird watching and stargazing! ~ The Ranch borders State Land and is within 1 mile of the Colville National Forest which means endless miles of picturesque hiking and wildlife viewing! The Ferry County Rail Trail is a must-do. ~ Swimming, fishing, boating, and water skiing are only 15 minutes away at Curlew Lake State Park and the Kettle River. ~ One bundle of firewood, 15 gallons of potable water, and a compost toilet are included with your stay. BYOTP though. :) ~ Ranch-grown eggs and organic produce for your meals are seasonally available for purchase. WILDLIFE: There is a wide range of wildlife around the Ranch- snowshoe hare, grouse, turkey, bobcat, Canada lynx, coyote, cougar, wolf, and black bear. Please use common sense while camping! Always be aware of your surroundings. Keep garbage secure in a vehicle. - There are also ticks in the area!

Overview

About

A lake without boats doesn't make much sense at all— there are no-fee boat ramps and an 80-ft boat launch area to remedy that. Break the biggest tiger muskie record set at this very lake with the primo freshwater fishing.

There are two miles of trails created for a leisurely hike or bike ride. You're likely to see birds of all variety like the heron and osprey, and you might even catch sight of a bald eagle.

With its lush green lawns, fully equipped camping areas, and four small islands to seal the deal, this park is perfect. it's also right next to the quaint gold rush town known as Republic. This sweet spot is ready and rarin' to charm you to bits.
