Come stay in our cabin at the estuary on Turners Bay where wildlife is abundant and easy to see. The Bamboo cabin is very private and has everything you need to just hang out. Saltgrass's location allows for many fun outdoor activities such as hiking at Anacortes Washington Park or Kukutali Preserve State Park crabbing, fishing, birding, bicycling and, the beach, my kids actually found a bottle with a message inside years ago.
Alternatively, you could explore the many little shops in the towns of La Conner and Anacortes. There are multiple activities available, I would suggest calling ahead in order to book kayaking, rock climbing, whale watching, or a sailing charter. You could easily take a day trip to the San Juan Islands by taking a ferry ride out of Anacortes, walk on or book ahead if you are taking your car. Also, the Swinomish Casino and golf course are within two miles.
While you're here you may meet our pup Turner, we also have two cats and several chickens. On the property are your hosts Jeri and Nancy, as well as our handyman Sean, Saltgrass boasts beautiful flowers, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and yes, the Bay. We try to live harmoniously with the land. We would love to share our space with you! . We thank you all for visiting our place and hope we meet your expectations.
October 10, 2025, A new addition to the bamboo cabin; we built gates that allow you to secure the deck as an outside space for your dog.
Our property has hosted many events, such as weddings, family reunions, company picnics, a music festival, and life celebrations. If you are interested, please let us know. We are always evolving our land to share with others.

The Guemes North Homestead is ten acres of gorgeous tall trees, clearings, homestead buildings, pond, trails, renewable energy gear, and more, set in the middle of the north end of Guemes Island (a 7-minute ferry from downtown Anacortes), at the end of a 1/3-mile dead-end driveway. It has nature, quiet, and privacy. It includes a 30-year-old orchard, a developed garden with fine soil, a pond with rope swing and waterslide, several solar and wind energy systems, and multiple buildings. It's about a mile in two directions from the Pacific Ocean beach, and is surrounded by wooded acreage that is criss-crossed with trails and friendly neighbors, on an island with about 700 year-round residents and an active weekend/summer population.
Homestead owner Ian Woofenden is an expert in renewable energy systems. He's lived off-grid at the homestead for 40-plus years, where he raised his large family and managed several small businesses. He now consults, sells, writes, and teaches about renewable energy in the U.S. and in Central America.
If your idea of a great getaway is to help out and do physical work, just ask Ian. There's always something going on at the homestead, including garden and orchard work, trail building, wood cutting, construction, sawmilling, and more. Ian built this place, and has a broad knowledge of lots of homestead and sustainability topics. He loves sharing his knowledge and experience with guest, students, and interns.
Quick reminders:

The homestead goes silent from 9 PM to 8 AM.

Welcome to our 5 acre retreat located just minutes from Deception Pass and Ala Spit State Park. Enjoy watching the resident deer while relaxing in your favorite camp chair, or use your site as a crash pad after a day spent exploring Whidbey Island. At night, take advantage of beautiful sunsets and big sky country-like stargazing.
We currently have one RV site with 30 amp electrical and water hookups (no septic). Please enjoy the provided outdoor furniture and gas fire pit during your stay! Firewood is available at nearby convenience stores if you'd like to use your own fire pit.
JET NOISE DISCLAIMER: Most of north Whidbey is in the training flight path for NASWI (including our property) so you will likely hear (and see!) navy jets overhead during your stay. If you are sensitive to noise this may not be a good location for you.
**Cell service is very spotty as we are close to the state park, but there is decent WiFi signal at the campsite.
We live and work on the property (our house and shop are both ~100 feet from the Island Oasis site). We are very respectful of guest privacy but easy to reach if you need anything.

Serene and private Jurassic like 5 acres on beautiful Whidbey Island. Explore the dry creek bed, quietly watch deer walk through, listen to the birds and frogs, all while still close enough to the amenities of Oak Harbor.
The site is accessible via a paved road, dedicated parking, and a short cleared path to the site. At the site, you will find two well kept cleared spaces and a firepit. This is a dry campsite offering true disconnect time. Cancelation policy is full refund if cancelled three or more days prior to check in. After that, no refund will be issued. Whidbey Island is home to NAS Whidbey Island. They fly jets. Sometimes they are kind enough to post operating hours for night flights on their facebook page. Please plan your trip accordingly. Longer vehicles may require backing in for proper access. If this presents a challenge, a cleared lot is available to you. The site is designed to be arranged as you want and need it to be. Nothing is nailed down and can be moved around to facilitate your needs.

Watch the sunset into the world famous San Juan Islands. Our property is
located on the scenic Chuckanut Drive. It is a 15 minute walk to Taylor United's Seafood Bar that has beer and wine. You will need boots just below the knee, or hiking shoes that will get wet. The Creek crossing is a little deeper this year. You will also be crossing a muddy area for about 20 yards, you will sink about 3 inches into the mud. The hike into the campsite takes 12 minutes. You need to contact me to check the tides, as to be able to get to the campsite. We need to hike in below a 5 foot tide. Starting October, the campsite closes for winter. Again , this campsite is Tide dependent. The first question to me should be, What is the latest we can hike in? I am not Moses, I can’t part the sea. Camp closed during winter October/ march

I hadn't had the opportunity to visit Doe Bay before, and our stay in the walk-in waterfront campsites was pretty awesome. The campground is cliff side, overlooking the bay. Unrivaled views. Quiet and well maintained, with a friendly staff around the property. The spa alone is worth a stay.

Hobson Meadows is one of those places that feels special because it isn’t trying to be anything other than what it already is.
We were greeted by Millie, their calm, wise pup. I loved watching her guide families to their spaces, then wander back later as if checking that everyone had settled in. Then we met Beth, Matt, and Piper.
Beth quickly became one of my favorite parts of the weekend. We clicked immediately and kept finding ourselves lost in meaningful conversations. She is a beautiful soul, and you can feel the love she and Matt have for people, nature, and this land. They genuinely check in on guests while still giving everyone space to simply be.
The yurts are beautifully set up with comfortable beds and mattresses. I slept through the night both nights — very unusual for me! There’s no electricity, but lanterns are provided. Days can be warm and nights cool, so pack accordingly. The grounds have two portable restrooms plus a restroom/shower combo.
The stocked pond is perfect for catch-and-release fishing or simply sitting beside the water. One evening we watched birds return to a huge old tree, and Matt shared that he remembers them doing the same when he was a child.
Hobson Meadows isn’t fancy or commercial. It simply feels like a family sharing a beautiful little piece of their heaven with the rest of us.
So much more to share in this review, but limited in space. Check it out for yourself!
We will absolutely be back. ❤️

This place is magical - the photos don't do it justice. Well-maintained trails and campsites, infinite entertainment with the treehouse, zip line, and pond, and access to garden produce. The vases of freshly cut flowers were an added lovely touch. Having the county park a short walk away makes it easy to enjoy the bay. Ian was a friendly, communicative and helpful host. Highly recommend!

Where to go
Washington Park
Put boats, boots, and bikes on the list for this outdoor adventurer dream destination. Set west of Anacortes, Washington Park provides campers a place to enjoy beachfront views with a boat launch and picnic tables, hike marked trails in lush forests, or pedal the pavement on a 2.2-mile loop (which also works for easy walking). The campground offers RV and tent sites with water and electrical hookups or non-utility options at a cheaper rate. Its 25 sites are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so reservations are highly recommended.
Deception Pass State Park
South of Anacortes in Oak Harbor, Deception Pass State Park bridges the gap between Whidbey Island and Fidalgo Island with a buffet of locations for campers to rest and recharge. Spend the day hiking the trails, have a beachside lunch on a picnic table, or take a drive over the 188-foot Deception Pass Bridge. To get out on the water, wade down to Bowman Bay to find an easy entry boat launch, optimal for canoeing and kayaking.
San Juan Island
Sail over to San Juan Island for a full coastline of beaches, boat docks, hiking trails, and parks. San Juan Island National Historical Park offers a beautiful blend of history and nature. Head west to Lime Kiln State Park for epic whale-watching, or take a float east to Turn Island Marine State Park, a 35-acre island on the inner coastline of San Juan. With camping options on the coast and inland, choose from campsites, glampsites, cabin rentals, and more when visiting this west coast paradise outside Anacortes.
When to go
Late spring to late fall is the best time to visit Anacortes, though the area offers incredible camping spots year-round in the changing seasons. With lower temperatures in spring, campers can wrap up in a blanket to watch beach storms or trek through damp rainforests. In summer, stretch that blanket out on the beach to spot migrating whales. Or enjoy the lingering warm temperatures of fall just east of the Cascades. No matter what time of year adventure calls, this camping corner of the Pacific Northwest is the perfect place to answer.
