Forest Farmstead

8 sites ¡ Lodging23 acres ¡ Rockport, WA
Our old growth temperate rain forest homestead begins the wild and uncut wilderness that extends 40 miles to the Canadian boarder and beyond just as far. Before us it was part of Cascadian Farm (the organic food brand which still operates a lovely ice cream, esspresso, and berry stand adjacent to us), and before that it was one of the first farms this deep into the Cascade Range supplying food for the crews building the dams. We offer both a yurt and tree house. You will be on our small farm/homestead that is backed up to the Mount Baker National Forest with undisturbed forest all north all the way to the Canadian border to the north, Baker lake to the north west, and to the North Cascades National park to the North east. The Skagit River flows to the south of us. If you like freezing cold glacier water, we'll provide you with a map where you can walk down to the river to cool off at a safe swimming hole.Guests love staying here "Such a glorious and relaxed stay. The yurt really was a palace, it was so spacious and had many thoughtful amenities. We hiked on the mountain, forded a river and played with Hiland cows, all within walking distance of the yurt. I was worried that it would be cold but we were toasty and were even able to cook full course meals. Terry and Erin were the perfect hosts, responsive and yet non-instrusive. Thank you so much for letting us have this experience!"

12 sites ¡ Lodging18 acres ¡ Darrington, WA
Forest Creek is a woodsy getaway with 9 fully decked out glamping tents! These 16 feet wide canvas glamping tents come with an elevated queen mattress, side tables, fancy rugs, and cozy bedding. Just 75 minutes from Seattle. Located on scenic Mt Loop highway. Spectacular view of Whitehorse Mountain and glacier. Nestled on 18 acres of private property a mile from any neighbors. The property features access to Squire Creek just a 1 min walk from your camp site, a beautiful forest, and grassy spots to lay in. We have two distinct camping areas available. The first is a large grassy area behind the house and will have 6 glamping tents for rent. The second location is a large grassy lawn on the opposite side of the property next to the barn with two BBQs and will have 3 glamping tents for rent. Both camp sites have their own firepits and plenty of room for additional tents. Parking and porta-potties will be shared. Glamping tents will only be available from beginning of May to end of September. If you have an RV and want to be near your other campers, I would suggest booking the campsite next to the barn because the parking lot is right next to it.

Glamping in Ross Lake guide

Overview

Camping at Ross Lake gives new meaning to “getting off the grid”. Tucked deep in the North Cascades of Washington, this reservoir isn’t accessible by car (on the U.S. side, anyway). You can hike in —or, paddle from Diablo Lake up Riprap Creek and portage your boat overland to Ross Lake.

It takes some effort to get in, but the work is well worth the reward. Wake up to views of snow-capped summits at your lakeside campsite. Fish from the shore, or paddle out into the brilliant blue water.

Feel like a walk? The Pacific Northwest Trail and the East Bank Trail are right in your backyard. Hike along the 23-mile lake toward Canada. On the Sourdough Mountain Trail, you can climb high into the Cascades. From there, the views over North Cascades National Park are breathtaking.

There are 19 campgrounds on Ross Lake, each with 1-7 campsites. Whether you choose a boat-in or trail-accessible site, you’ll need to get a backcountry permit. At Ross Lake Resort, you can rent boats and book floating cabins.

Spring, summer, and fall are the best times for camping in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. In the winter, heavy snow causes avalanches and road closures. Due to changing water levels, boating is possible from July through September.
