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: NOT a party spot. The homestead goes silent from 9 PM to 8 AM. Not a place for lots of car trips in and out. Bikers can ask for 25% discount code (or use bike listing). Two-night minimum. No pets. One tent per site; one car per site. Book a separate tent site for friends/family who want to camp near you. We can't accommodate day visitors; if you want guests, book a site for them, or meet them at the beach, park, or Guemes mountain.. Bring your own bedding, matches, flashlights. Questions always welcome.

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 a zero gravity 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.

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

Imagine a magical property made for camping. It's located in a secluded forest, surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery. The air is fresh and clean, the sound of birdsong surrounds you. There are limited signs of civilization, just you, the forest, and the stars. The property is perfect for camping. There are several campsites to choose from. There's also a communal area with a large fire pit area. The property is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable camping trip. The best part about this magical property is the magic. There are fairies that live in the forest, and they love to play tricks on campers. They might steal your food, or they might lead you astray. But they're always good-natured, and they'll never do anything to hurt you. One night, you're sitting by the fire pit, telling stories with your friends. Suddenly, you see a shooting star streak across the sky. You make a wish, and without thinking twice it comes true. You spend the rest of the day exploring the forest. You come across a hidden hiking trail and follow it to the beach.. You have the time of your life at the magical property. You make memories that will last a lifetime. And when it's time to go home, you're sad to leave. But you know that you'll be back someday. The magical property is a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a place where you can relax and reconnect with nature. It's a place where you can make memories that will last a lifetime.

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

Rural acres of land, grass and forest to tent camp, boondock, or dry camp in your Rv. Trees surround the property, and it is a perfect place to get away and rewind. The area has great hiking trails and rivers nearby. Or if you are a speedway racing fan, we are less than a 1/4 mile from the track. On Summer nights you can take a short walk to the Speedway to watch the races or drive a few short miles to a nearby casino. Some tent sites have a charcoal grill, fire ring, and picnic table. There are no open fires permitted in the tent sites in the woods. However, propane cook stoves are allowed. Firewood is available on-site for a small fee.

The site is near a pond which we enjoyed watching birds (kingfishers and herons and more!) and the calm atmosphere of the neighborhood. It was a great stay and not too far from Seattle for a weekend get-away."

Imagine a magical property made for camping. It's located in a secluded forest, surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery. The air is fresh and clean, the sound of birdsong surrounds you. There are limited signs of civilization, just you, the forest, and the stars. The property is perfect for camping. There are several campsites to choose from. There's also a communal area with a large fire pit area. The property is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable camping trip. The best part about this magical property is the magic. There are fairies that live in the forest, and they love to play tricks on campers. They might steal your food, or they might lead you astray. But they're always good-natured, and they'll never do anything to hurt you. One night, you're sitting by the fire pit, telling stories with your friends. Suddenly, you see a shooting star streak across the sky. You make a wish, and without thinking twice it comes true. You spend the rest of the day exploring the forest. You come across a hidden hiking trail and follow it to the beach.. You have the time of your life at the magical property. You make memories that will last a lifetime. And when it's time to go home, you're sad to leave. But you know that you'll be back someday. The magical property is a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a place where you can relax and reconnect with nature. It's a place where you can make memories that will last a lifetime.

The best camping near Anacortes with campfires guide

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.
