This magical, 40-acre, cultivated ecosystem, will wrap around you and leave you enchanted. Enjoy this peaceful, country retreat, as a place to rest and reconnect with the earth and yourself. This is a great place to stop for the night, but one day might not be enough to meander the many paths, drink tea harvested from the herb garden, sit on a bench talking to ancient Maple trees, walk the stone labyrinth, wander the sacred Grove, and camp under the stars. There's so much to enjoy here, from the fragrant rose gardens to the orchards and sheep meadows. Spend the morning sipping tea with a book in the greenhouse, an afternoon wandering the many wooded trails, preparing dinner with vegetables grown from the garden, and enjoying the evening watching the moon and stars come up from the observatory platform. You could take a guided tour of the land and animals, or join one of the many workshops hosted here, such as learning to spin yarn from our herd of Icelandic sheep or take an introduction class to Permaculture. Bring your knitting, friends, or just a favorite book, and spend a few days in this tranquil destination, as this land has something to offer everyone.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Ridge

My bf and I really enjoyed staying here at Sunset Ridge! The RV was so cozy and had everything we needed to stay! We loved the outdoor seating area. Nice view! We spent most of our time in Bellingham which was a short 15 minute drive away. We also loved Shaum's dogs 😊 They came to greet us at least once a day! Shaums was so attentive to our stay but also gave us space to enjoy the area! Definitely recommend staying here! Looking forward to coming back to explore more of the trails, the nearby lake, and doing a bonfire! We were here during the fire ban.

If you like communal-style arrangements with a strong sense of restorative and connection with the land, this place is great. I enjoyed the dried herbs for mixing custom tea blends, community gathering spaces, meandering trail through the forest and wetlands, and incredible flower garden and orchard. The vintage camper itself was clean and comfortable, with good mattress and pillows. Kateen is also a great host, meeting us and providing a small tour at the start. Portable toilets are not my favorite, but they were well-kept, with a hand-washing sink with soap available. I could see coming back and staying for more than one night and would recommend to others.

Amazing farm stay! Kateen has the most beautiful farm and it felt like living in a magical fairyland. Flowers and lush green plants in every direction. Everything in the common spaces and campers are clean and well maintained. The bed was a little creaky but it was comfortable and I slept very well. I felt extremely safe and comfortable. It was super easy to get to Port Townsend from the property, I will absolutely come back!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! The energy there is so revitalizing I instantly felt my breathe deepen upon arrival. It is clear how much care goes into this special place. All the amenities needed were there and clearly available. Kateen is a delight. Staying in Pearl was like a sweet hug. She was very clean and cozy.

This hipcamp is truly special! Kateen has created a place that reflects her deep respect and reverence for the land she stewards. She was welcoming and went above and beyond what I’ve ever experienced from a host. The details throughout every corner of the property, from meditation spots to the kitchen and library, show just how thoughtfully everything has been curated and how much care and intention went into this space. Staying here was an experience I won’t forget and I will most certainly be returning!

I stayed in one of the campers for five nights while attending a dance retreat in Port Townsend. This place was just lovely all around. Hot outdoor(ish) shower & gorgeous vegetable/flower/fruit farm you can harvest from. There's poop everywhere because it's a farm but it wasn't a problem, and I didn't have any trouble with the geese and turkeys. Sweet tea room, library, greenhouses, foot soak.... total gem.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Ridge

I really enjoyed my time at the Sunset Ridge trailer. Shaums really does a great job of being attentive while giving you space. You totally can see their house from the trailer but the fire pit is over a little hill that feels secluded but safe. As a solo female I look for places that allow me to be outside but also safe. I also adored being greeted by Shaums’ pups. The trailer was comfy, cozy, clean and conveniently located. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

When I pulled up to the farm I was shocked at how gorgeous it was, and spent the following few days finding a massive dose of restorative peace and quiet. Kateen has created such a beautiful place with countless thoughtful details, and the sleeps that I had in my little caravan (and the day naps in the hammocks by the forest) were as comfy as can be. Can’t wait to come back!

Wow, such a beautiful spot that needs to be seen to be believed! It's a long drive to the site, but Kateen is so lovely and welcoming. The camper didn't have any electricity or water, so be sure to plan ahead. All of the features of the site are spectacular, only bathroom is a port-o-potty, but it has a nice sink area by it. Shower was elaborate, but the water wasn't hot. Kitchen was fantastic, so many other features to explore. It's a shame I only booked one night. Next time I'll be booking for a lot longer.

Weekend Trip to Compass Rose Farms

I stayed one night in the trailer Aloha. The farm is easy to find and full of interesting accommodations like the big kitchen, the small wool shop, the soaking tub for your feet. The roaming geese, ducks and turkeys were always fun, and I saw a mommy quail and her chicks roaming the rows of flowers. I liked the veggie garden and picked cherries and oh so many flowers (and bees), and hummers. Logistically there is nothing in the trailers but a bed. No electricity and all “amenities” are disconnected or removed. The outdoor shower with the instant hot water was really nice, and I did use the foot soaking tub with herbs from the garden. If you stay in Aloha do not lock the door. You have to close it because it doesn’t have a screen, but the lock sticks

The best vintage trailers near Anacortes 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.
