Welcome to Christmas Tree Ridge Hello, We live here full-time. Our space overlooks the Tahuya Valley to the south and sits above a deep, forested gully to the east. Once a Christmas tree farm, this land is now a quiet, off-grid spot to rest, explore, and recharge. Allisha offers hosting/planning for women’s-only camping retreats here. More details can be found within the individual booking options—reach out if you’re curious or want to know more. Future planned retreat dates. Contact for other dates. August 29st-31st. Retreat bookings are request only No other campers are booked during retreat weekends. 🏕 Site Overview: (See the site map in photos) Valley Ridge Lookout – Largest site, w/TiPi, big views, outdoor sink & shower, with outhouse nearby. West Perch – Smaller site with water and power, tucked along the western edge, pull through parking. Side Step – A simple park-n-camp offshoot along the lower driveway. Gully Vista – A hike-in, tent/hammock site, via a narrow trail down into the gullie. Most guests tent camp or bring vans. If your trailering, and the trailer weighs more than your 2WD tow vehicle, this place probably isn’t the best match. ✅ What Makes This Place Special: Backs up to 150+ acres of state timberland (10–20 year growth). Hunters: check regulations. Our new link trail connects to the Howell Lake ORV network—tight at first, then opens up. Trail map posted in outhouse. We’ve got firewood—might not be perfectly dry, but it burns. Bring kindling in wet seasons. Trash-free land. Please keep it clean. No glass (if you bring it, Do not break it). Howell Lake seasonal swimming hole nearby with rope swing. 2-mile hike (4/10 hardness) or 10-minute drive. Big night skies—great for moon/stargazing. Campground runs on solar. ⚠️ A Few Notes: Some sites have steep drops—stay alert, especially at night. 1-mile dirt driveway is bumpy—take it slow. 280ft water well, Fresh water, but passes through non drinking water rated tanks and lines so I can't legally recommend drinking it. Bring drinking water or use a filter. We love this land and look forward to sharing it with respectful guests. Let us know if you have any questions before you roll in.

I present a micro campsite, built for backpacking-style tenting, in your own private setting. With a vista to the east, this spot looks clear across the main Tahuya River Valley from deep within a gully. During the wet season, the stream below adds a faint, relaxing flow as you rest and recharge. Two hammocks hang, or hang your own, along with a small bench beside a raised fire pit contraption generously donated by my neighbor. Scavenge the forest for firewood and enjoy the peaceful space. Please be sure to view the overall campground description for more details, and check the maps provided — cell service is limited and it’s easy to get turned around out here. Details: Best for hiking/backpacking style camping. Max tent size: 7' x 7'. Access is via a narrow, backcountry-style trail a couple hundred feet down into the gully. Only site here with rock-free soil. Clay base with a leafy/twig overlay makes staking and tenting a breeze. Flat tent pad, shaded all day during full foliage. Without foliage it gets sunnier, but being on an east-facing slope, the site loses sunlight early. Plan accordingly to avoid setting up in the dark.

Many people haven't had success in finding the outhouse. Tip: Walk up the hill and go as far northwest as you can and you'll find it behind the woodshed. Look at the campground description for more details and also look at the maps that I provided because lots of people get lost around here without cell service. Description of West Perch: A movable fire ring, wood, water, and power at this site. 3 min walk leads you up (+50') to the outhouse at the very top and back of the parcel. Plenty of sun at this location as well. Entrance to site is right of that red, tent shaped rock. Walk the path first if you are unsure about driving it. Small space, drive through spot, no grass again this year since I reshaped the land, more level and more room now. Rocky, but round rock so still very tentable, especially with a broom. ___Pros: ____ -Well tucked on the property with 2 separate partial directional views of the valley. -Perched well on the hill. -Open sky to the west, which is a neighboring parcel that was logged back in 22. - Unfiltered Well Water Tap (37psi) -120V Power hookup (20amp and 30amp receptacles) -Moveable ring ring to allow different camp layouts and adjust for wind direction and ash fallout on tents. -Nearby wood stack ____Cons:____ The outhouse is up that hill all the way to the north west corner of the property. 50/50 chance you fall on your ass walking back down the upper driveway as the round sandy rock can be like marbles at times. -Sort of a Con, Place runs on solar, If ya run your AC/electric water heater the whole time, we may all lose power until about 4 hours after sunrise the next day.....IF it's sunny, so be mindful about your energy usage or I'll open the breaker. -Ain't got no grass again this year is another con I suppose. Probably never will as I'm planning something else here.

I've had a lot of in-and-out, one-night, minimal car campers. If that is you, this is the new listing aimed at those folks to save money and leave the primary campsites open. It is smallish spot(about 25'x50'). Rocky/sandy, but round rock so tenting ain't too bad. There really isn't much here at this campsite yet. Long uphill walk leads you up to the outhouse by the Valley Ridge Lookout campsite(look at map).. I would rate this as the best shade in the campground, being the lowest down the hill. No water or power, but if you bring 100' hose or cord to run across the driveway, I can hook you up in a pinch. Pros: -Often shaded. - Easiest spot to find and drive too. -Cheapest and most relaxed cancelation policy's Cons: -Steep drop to the south of the site, potential rollover hazard if driven off. -Can be challenging for low IQ drivers to figure out where to turn around, wish I was joking, no one reads the arrival instructions it seams. If you continue up the driveway past SideStep, you could turn a semi around. Watched a wrangler one morning struggle for literal minutes to turn around at this campsites entrance. Lastly: This is a get what you pay for campsite. It's raw, newly formed flat ground here I made for long term parking, however I'm testing budget campsites out with it. Add your pictures to Hipcamp to help set expectations for others.

Camping @ Valley Ridge Lookout

Motorhome/tent pitch · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 7 m
A future remote home site is your campsite for the time being with a Tahuya Valley view! This is for general camping with your own shelter. A new Tipi has been added at this location, however it is not available for use unless making a direct reservation request via other applicable listings. The only site with full* privacy. Blast music, dance naked around the fire, be human, zero judgement here. Just respect the site. SouthSouthEast facing slope, good sun, some shade areas thought out day. Closest and flattest walk to the outhouse, which is an underrated benefit vs. the other campsites in my opinion. Large rock fire pit, metal 2" mesh grate for setting over the rocks for cooking over the fire. *Other campers also use the Outhouse or the NW trail which has them walking up, or driving up sometimes. The rest of the property is out of sight and down hill from this site. FWD vehicles not recommended!

Canvas tent · Sleeps 12 · 1 bedroom · 1 toilet
Recommend max sleeping 6 inside the TiPi and a max of 12 guest on site. A future remote cabin site is being occupied by a custom handmade 22' TiPi for the time being with a Tahuya Valley view! The new Tipi was added at this location for hosting retreats, however now we are opening up the TiPi to campers. Baseline Tipi knowledge to include safe fire practices as well as how to properly configure the TiPi flaps for various weather conditions is required. Furnishings include various rugs/ ground coverings, and an open firepit. It's not much yet but will keep you dry and warm. The only site with full* privacy.

I loved the location I could see several people camping there, as some family stuff came up I had to cute the trip off after 6 hours so I never got to spend a night there.

The host was quite nice and the site had convenient water and power. He even left firewood. View is of nothing but trees as far as you can see. The site is small, mostly level, and carved out of the side of a hill at the end of a steep drive. The ground is made up of glacial pebbles. This makes driving tent pegs a little challenging. To get to the site you have to drive past the hosts RV trailer which is in plan view of the site. I had boat trailer which I had to take off before going up the last stretch of the drive. You have to either back in or back out of the site. I am a very experienced driver and you do NOT want to try to back a trailer up that last stretch. Finally, it says there is a toilet there, and maybe there is, but neither I nor my buddy were ever able to find it. I just think there are better places to stay. If you do think about this site, call the host first. He is a nice guy a will tell you what ou need to know.

TiPi Shelter@Valley Ridge Lookout
Wonderful place to camp! Even though it rained over the half the time we were there, it was so peaceful and private we didn't really care! Most well appointed outhouse I've ever used! Much appreciated, and a lot of hard work has obviously gone into the projects on site. My F-150 with 4WD had no problem making it to the top spot, but it may be difficult/technical depending on weather/road conditions. Other two spots for easily accessible even by a small car. More than plenty of room for the 2 of us and my dog to stay comfortably. I hope to return again for a longer stay, with a few more friends to share this gem with!!!

We loved staying at Valley Ridge Lookout! The camp site was beautiful and was private. Noone came to use the outhouse while we were there (at least that we know of 🤣) . Speaking of, the outhouse was nice and clean! We'll definitely will be planning another trip.

I didn't want to leave. It is so quiet I heard nothing but the birds. You do have to watch where you walk naturally, like any forest there are dropoff s. I went at the beginning of the camping season so it might be different from the heart of the season. Intermediate phone service that made it hard to use apps for plant identification. So if you are coming out to forage, please do it responsibility for this is the universe's sanctuary ment for everyone. I will be back.

A Great Spot for a Weekend Getaway

TiPi Shelter@Valley Ridge Lookout
I went tent camping with my pal here this past weekend, and it was great. Joseph was responsive when I had questions, and the site was nice and large with a pretty nice pit toilet outhouse, and a nice fire ring area to congregate around with large stones to set things on and a bench. We strolled out from the site on the trail past the outhouse and connected up to the Howell Lake trail which was a nice hiking outing. Having a car that can handle the rock and dirt terrain is helpful, and a Crosstrek made easy work of it. It's also nice the site is about 15 minutes to Belfair so it's a short hop into town for supplies. This place is a good bargain.

This is an great spot for those that enjoy a primitive camp setting. Such as myself. The property and campsites have been carved into the mountain only in recent times. It makes for great view of the nature around you and submersion into it. But there's still 5G! You can have a fire if you're not an idiot (solo campers appreciate that respect). Also, the host is an exceptionally nice dude.

Host was helpful and friendly site was spacious and clean. And there is a little bit of cell service at the site. Be prepared for the dirt road hill you can make it up in just about anything but you need to be ready for it and not going slow.

Stayed here with my dad for two nights over Father’s Day weekend. I used my roof tent and he car camped with an inflatable mattress. We liked how spacious the campsite was, and also enjoyed the views and privacy. We didn’t want to be crowded at a public campsite that weekend so Joseph’s spot was just what we were looking for. I can tell this is going to become a gem of a campsite!
