Arlington, WA · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Nestled near Arlington, our 75-acre property spans both new and old forest, featuring a salmon-filled creek and a large beaver pond—all set against the dramatic backdrop of a 1,200-foot sheer rocky cliff crowned with old-growth trees. Since its purchase in 1958 as a family retreat, this land has grown into much more than a getaway. It has become a place for relaxation, adventure, and connection with nature—a private forest for family and friends to enjoy. Over the years, the family has adopted forest stewardship and sustainable timber harvesting practices, while also developing campsites, trails, hosting rock concerts, and even producing wine. What began as a simple escape has evolved into something extraordinary: a tree farm that successfully balances nearly every goal a forest landowner could imagine—timber production, wildlife habitat, natural beauty, recreation, and forest resilience. Valhalla embodies all of this with harmony. We think you will feel the unusual vibe.

Marblemount, WA · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
Nestled along the banks of the Skagit River at the gateway to the North Cascades, our small riverside campground offers the feeling of a remote wilderness escape — without the strenuous work to get there. Surrounded by mountains, towering evergreens, a wildflower meadow, and river access, it’s a place to slow down and experience the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest in comfort.
Our campground features four campsites spread throughout a densely wooded riverfront setting, creating a quiet, uncrowded experience with plenty of space to relax and connect with nature. Guests wake to birdsong, mountain views, and the sound of the Skagit River flowing nearby. Bald eagles, swallows, ospreys, owls, herons, and countless songbirds are commonly seen around the property, making this an especially rewarding place for birdwatchers, wildlife photographers, and nature lovers. Additionally, spawning salmon can be found right along the river bank late summer through fall.
The campground is an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the region. Spend your days hiking, fishing, kayaking, rafting, swimming, biking, or taking scenic drives through the North Cascades corridor, then return to camp for peaceful evenings under the stars. River access offers opportunities to cool off, relax by the water, or simply take in the incredible scenery.
While the setting feels wild and secluded, guests still have access to thoughtful amenities including a bathroom with two private stalls and a hot outdoor shower — offering a more comfortable alternative to true backcountry camping while preserving the feeling of being immersed in nature.
The entrance to the property is located directly off the North Cascades Scenic Highway, making the campground easy to find while still feeling worlds away. Each campsite includes dedicated parking at the top of the meadow, followed by a short walk along well-maintained trails past the bathroom and shower house down to the campsites and riverfront.
Whether you're looking for a quiet weekend escape or a basecamp for your American Alps adventure, this campground is designed for people who love rivers, mountains, forests, wildlife, and the outdoors.

Birds chirp, deer graze, and squirrels gather food throughout the day. Sit on the porch and watch it all happen—it truly is relaxing!
I want to mention that the stargazing here is amazing! Simply press the power button on the back of the solar panel to turn off the lights for a better view of the night sky. Please turn them back on when you're finished, if you remember.
Be sure to visit Goldendale Observatory. It boasts one of the largest public telescopes in the nation, and admission is free.

Welcome to Aliya Preserve. Originally owned by the developers of Kalaloch Lodge, this was slated to be an expansion site for the resort. That development would have drastically changed the land.
Adam & Sara purchased the property in 2018 to preserve it. We enjoy sharing it with nature aficionados who respect the sacredness of the unblemished land and help us keep it pristine.
From your mossy bank perched above the panoramic Pacific, beneath burley spruce tree boughs, magic sunsets unfold at your own super-private and secluded campsite with fire-pit.
Adjacent to Olympic National Park, this is the same beach and bluff that defines Kalaloch, LaPush and and other wild Washington coastal icons.
As the stewards of this land, we are now inviting respectful and responsible small groups and families to share its beauty. Without prior approval we allow only eight people per group— even when split between campsites.
Please make sure to check the site *title* for number of campers allowed in each site. For example only two people are allowed in sites 1 and 4.
Up to two dogs are allowed per site for a $25 per-pup fee, which must be paid in the "extras" section at checkout {dogs enjoy the beach the most!!}

Our guests love the near-by swimming hole, shared fire areas, fresh produce and clean outhouses. Meeting the farm animals, napping in the hammocks, mastering the rope swing and wandering the many paths are also memory-makers. Some of our "extras" -- Farm Tours, Propane Firebowls, Saunas, and more -- are available for purchase when you make your booking.
ALL SITES have flat tent spots, a picnic table, hammock, sun, shade, outhouse access and room to park. Sites are 300 feet apart, on average. More details about each site can be seen in the listing. {PLEASE NOTE that some photos have been uploaded by guests and are not actually posted in relation with the correct site #}
If you are un-sure WHICH ONE to choose, send a message describing your "party" and desired experience. We will help you select a site. We also have areas that can be turned into a "group kitchen" if you want to reserve the ENTIRE camping area for a reunion, party, retreat, training, etc.

Escape to the peaceful beauty of Washington’s Cascades at Timber Canyon Ranch @ Money Creek. Featuring three classic creekside campsites, these quiet retreats each sit on their own individual 10 acreage site. Each offering provides a private pet friendly amount of space where you don’t have to listen to your neighbors dogs, music, etc..
You’ll find yourself surrounded by towering trees, immersed in fresh mountain air, and the soothing sounds of Money Creek.
Perfect for tent campers and nature lovers who prefer to car camp, these scenic creekside campsites all offer a relaxing getaway just steps from the water and close to hiking, fishing, a natural cold plunge and several other outdoor adventures.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful weekend getaway or a week immersed in nature, these cozy creekside settings provides the perfect respite to unwind beneath the stars.
Also, unlike many of the other sites in the area, there’s no need to worry about train noise or train encounters while staying with us at Timber Canyon Ranch.
Please remember to clean up your waste and anything your dog leaves behind ;) We’ve had zero issues yet and desperately want to keep it that way (hence the $100 fine if we find something you’ve left).
Some final notes dedicated to safety:
Be careful standing and walking on the rocks near the water! Many of them are more slippery than you’d expect and people have gotten severely injured- thankfully not at our site!
Our trails to each creekside campsite also require intermediate to advanced skill based on both tripping hazards as well as raw steepness. For your safety, do not book these sites if you are not comfortable navigating extreme terrain!

Quilcene, WA · 5 sites · Tents, Lodging
Welcome to Tranquil Acres. We have transformed our five acres in the “Pearl of the Peninsula” for the world to be your oyster during your stay with us. The Big Quilcene river is a water wonderland with private riverside access available to all campers just a short easy walk from each campsite. Here is where you can enjoy the cooling relief from the Summer heat, bask in the sun on cool Spring days, listen to the soothing sounds of the water and wildlife, interact with fellow campers, as well as fishing for Coho salmon in the Fall for a full meal deal experience. (Fishing license required). The river access “Common Area” is for all campers to enjoy with plenty of space to also have some alone time. If you are a more adventurous camper, Tranquil Acres is perfectly located to be your “home base” for extended stays, allowing you to explore the many wonders that the Olympic Peninsula has to offer as easy day trips. We are happy to answer any questions and share some of our favorite hikes, lakes, restaurants, and historical areas we have loved over these many years.
My family has lived in this area since the early 80's and after almost a decade of renting this property and becoming a part of the amazing community of Quilcene, I had the opportunity to buy this land and “pay it forward” by creating Tranquil Acres for all to enjoy. My children that grew up here, continue to help and support this endeavor as adults. “It’s a King Thing”.
Camping Etiquette: **Please read before booking**
First and foremost, the road leading down to the camping area is a steep gravel drive. Going down isn’t usually a problem…it’s getting back up again. When you get to the bottom, the rest of the roadway leading to all campsites is a natural dirt road with tree root humps that isn’t designed for low clearance cars. AWD or 4WD is recommended, but please check with us before booking to see if your vehicle can have access all the way to your campsite and make it back up the hill. If not, we do have parking available at the top of the hill safely located next to our house, and transport options available to help you pack it in and pack it out without risking damage to your vehicle or the land and still enjoy a wonderful camping experience. Please inquire before booking if you have a low clearance vehicle so we can discuss your options.
Please be respectful of the land. We are a “pack it in, pack it out” campground and wish to provide this space for folks to enjoy for many years to come. The Quilcene transfer station is located nearby and is open on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. (hours may differ on holidays). We do offer waste disposal as an add-on at checkout. Recycling must be separated from solid waste and contained in the bags provided and will have clear instructions of what is recyclable.
Potable water is not available in the camping area. It is okay to use water from the river if you have a certified filter system (at your own risk). If you are the bold and brave that likes to bathe in cold waters, please be mindful of the eco-system and the damage that soap can do to our natural habitat. Dishwashing is not allowed in the river at any time.
Like most campgrounds, our quiet time is 10pm-8am. Please be respectful to your camp neighbors at all times. Sounds carry easily in the woods. Play, explore, have fun, and stay awake to enjoy your space for as long as you want, just be mindful to use “camping voice” after 10pm.
Communication is encouraged and appreciated! If you need anything, are having any issues with fellow campers, or just have a question… please don’t hesitate to get in touch… day or night. We love being able to share this wonderful land for folks to have a joyful camping experience in our neck of the woods with their fellow campers.
Dogs are allowed at all campsites. Cats too if you have a camping cat! Please be mindful of your neighbors and that not everyone feels comfortable around dogs or may be allergic. Off leash is allowed if your dog is not aggressive with humans or other dogs. You know your dog best, and we will trust that you will use your best judgement in any circumstance while you are staying with us. If there is an issue in this regard, we will ask you to keep your dog leashed at all times, or under extreme circumstances may be forced to ask you to leave. We would rather not do either of those things, so please be aware of where your pet is at all times.
Everyone loves a campfire! No one loves a wildfire. The lushness of the Olympic National Forest can be deceiving. Wildfires do still happen here and we expect you to extinguish your fire if no one is at the campsite, before going to sleep, and prior to departure. Firewood is provided as an add-on at checkout and will be at your site when you arrive, or you are also welcomed to bring your own. You will need to provide your own paper and flame to get your campfire going. There are many small sticks and twigs around every site to use as kindling, but please don’t use any wood you find on the land that won’t entirely fit inside of the rock ring. This is dangerous because wood holds heat and can continue to burn and ignite leaves, sticks and twigs outside of the firepit. If it is windy at any point during your stay, we respectfully request that you don’t have a fire while the winds are blowing. You can see if there is a recreational fire burn ban prior to arrival by visiting www.orcaa.org or send us a message. It is rare that recreational fires are banned in this area, but it does happen on occasion. Burning any kind of garbage in your campfire is not allowed at any time. Doing so means it is no longer a recreational fire and could permanently stop us from allowing campers to stay here.
We offer a variety of add-on features that can turn your camping adventure into a glamping experience. Need a tent? No problem, we will even set it up for you and take it down. Don’t have a stove to cook with? We have that too. When we say: “It’s a King Thing”… it means we intend to provide you with an experience that leaves you feeling like Royalty.
Thank you for taking the time to consider us for your camping adventures. We are thrilled and grateful to share our Tranquil Acres with you and look forward to seeing you soon!

ACTIVITIES ON THE LAND OR NEARBY
BIKING: multiple mountain biking trails for any level of rider. Check www.singletracks.com for information about trails located in Quilcene and nearby areas just a short drive away.
FISHING: The salmon start running on the Big Quilcene in September. Fishing license required. There are other options for fishing around the area depending on what you want to fish for, go ahead and message me if you want some insider information.
HIKING: There are many hikes close by with a variety of difficulty levels. I have hiked pretty much all of them and would love to share some of my favorites with you.
PADDLING: Quilcene Bay, Lake Leland as well as other options just a short drive away.
WILDLIFE WATCHING: We have deer that wander through the campground from time to time and in the mid-late summer it is a real treat to see their fawns. There is a fun assortment of birds, owls and even herons and hawks that can be spotted while hanging out at the river in our common area. If you are lucky, you can even spot a bald eagle passing by. Grey whales and Orca whales migrate north in the late Spring and Summer and there are whale watching tours available in Sequim and Port Angeles. There is also the Olympic Game Farm Park in Sequim that is a drive through wildlife preserve that is a lot of fun for the whole family just 45mins away. (Absolutely no hunting is allowed on Tranquil Acres and we respectfully request that you keep your distance from wildlife for the safety of all involved.)
NATURAL FEATURES ON OR NEAR THE LAND:
BEACH: There are several Bays and Lakes in the area that I would love to tell you about that are easy to access…please don’t hesitate to ask.
FOREST: We are located on the eastern side of the Olympic National Forest, and there is a Ranger Station just a couple minutes away. The rainforest eco system of this area is truly an adventure worth exploring, and our Tranquil Acres has all the native trees and plants of this unique region that makes it feel like you are living in the heart of a rainforest…but with less rain, and slightly warmer temperatures than the central and western side of the Olympic rainforest in the summer.
LAKES: Lake Leland Lake and Crocker Lake are the nearest most accessible lakes in the area. There are many others, please feel free to ask about any lakes you find in the area and I can let you know if it is suitable for what you are wanting from a lake experience.
RIVER, STREAM OR CREEK: Tranquil Acres is located on the Big Quilcene River. It’s beautiful and most of the time secluded (except during salmon season in September when there are fisherfolks that have public access to the river itself). There are many other rivers in the general area, but none quite as awesome as our little stretch of the Big Quilcene.
SWIMMING HOLE: Yes, various options at different times of the year…and It’s COLD! Bring a float device for a gentler experience in the hot summer sun or have a bold and brave Polar Plunge regardless of what month it is. (AT YOUR OWN RISK, please be mindful of how strong the river current is at different times of the year and do not let young children into the main current without a life jacket or without adult supervision. Highly recommended to wear water shoes at all times/all ages.) The Big Quilcene is a River that anyone could slip and fall on the rocks regardless of age and how low the water is.
WATERFALL: The Falls View loop trail just a few miles south of Quilcene is an easy 1 mile hike that has a spectacular view of the large waterfall that flows into the Big Quilcene River. I am happy to talk with you and answer any questions you may have about local adventures in the area.
MOUNTAINOUS: Mt. Olympus reigns supreme over them all, but the Olympic Mountain Range has 9 other distinct Mountain peaks, and there are a variety of ways to experience this unique mountain range…just ask me how, I am happy to share the variety of ways to enjoy the Olympic Peninsula.
FARMS: We have multiple organic farms in the area where you can purchase seasonal fruits and vegetables. There are also many community activities at various times of the year to get to know this little Pearl of the Peninsula.

White Salmon, WA · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
848 Outpost | Room to turn. Space to stay.
848 Outpost is a small, off-grid basecamp set across 38 acres of woods and open field, with just four sites. Two designed for vans and overland rigs (+tents), and two set up for tent camping. It’s a simple, low-key place to land, with space to breathe and none of the crowding of a traditional campground.
Part of a larger 80-acre land group (including our family’s historic 28-acre farm), the property supports forestry management, wildlife habitat conservation, and low-impact recreation.
The outpost backs onto forest service land, offering direct access to rugged, unmarked terrain for experienced hikers and explorers. There are no formal trails—just open access to largely untouched landscape.
Location
15 minutes to White Salmon
30 minutes to Hood River
~1.5 hours to Portland
Access
The road is not suitable for large RVs or long trailers. Vans, overland rigs, and smaller setups do best. 4WD can be recommended depending on conditions.

An excellent camp site for privacy and seclusion! Adjacent campsites are far away and cannot be seen. Plenty of hiking trails through thick forest land. Dave is an excellent host and welcomes you to the camp with his charm.

Shawn's campsite was wonderful! We enjoyed walking through the property and exploring the nearby river. Shawn did an amazing job checking-in to make sure we had everything we needed and brought down more firewood when we ran out during our trip. Highly recommend!

My group and I stayed in site 1. Carrie is sweet and they are so nice and helpful there. The site was large enough for 3 tents and our Truck with camper. They had a cool, fun atmosphere, hiking trails, access to the beach. The location was easy to find using Google Maps as well as Carrie's instructions. She came out to say hi when we arrived. Next time, I would stay in site 2, it is just a little bit bigger and slightly more private, but site 1 was still very nice and large. Getting to the beach is not hard, there is a bit of a steep grade at the end, but they have put in ropes to help with stability and it is not hard to get up and down from the beach at all, it is a typical nature path. If you have knee issues or general stability issues the use of hiking poles or a walking stick and good shoes is recommended. Overall, our stay was very nice, the camp is clean and the owners are very nice and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Dungeness Island Tent Sites
Robin's location is beautiful and conveniently located. The bed was very comfy. Robin was an attentive host; we had an issue with the water heater, and she immediately came to the site to address it. I wish we had had more time to enjoy the beautiful site.

Loved Popcorn Pond. We stayed here in a tent instead of an RV. It was incredible to watch the sunrise and sunset over the pond. All the birds, tons of berries back in the cove. Felt very private and safe, it’s the least secluded of all the sites and we saw not one person on a Friday night. The property is much larger than expected. Sleeping with the sounds of birds, frogs, insects by the water was divine. Book here!

It was such a beautiful place and being so close to town you really don’t hear cars but once in awhile. You primarily hear the river and so many birds and squirrels. Robin really really makes sure you have everything you need and is so nice. It is an experience that makes us want to come every year at least.

This was a beautiful property with a lovely owner. This woman is patient and kind. I was greeted with a kind smile. Given freshly picked berries at my camp site. She helped load/unload both our vehicles. She was quick to respond to any needs and even walked us all the way to the creek when we couldn't find it. And what a sight to see! The reward is waterfalls at the creek. She provided a portable shower and was quite efficient. No cold showers were had here! We had our first batch on firewood on the house, our water jugs were full ready to use, there was a cooking rack for kettles or cooking with pans. She also has a little outhouse right behind the large tent we stayed in with a little hand washing area with toilet paper and wipes provided. This was a humbling trip for me and my kids haha. (8 and 11) My dog waffles though, was in her element herding all her family members up and down the hills. I will definitely return. The host was too lovely not too! If you are a first time camper and are weary Miss DeAnn is the host to have! She helped make our trip.

Such a great campsite! A bit of a trek down the hill, the wheelbarrow provided by the host definitely helped. Bring bear boxes if you don't want to haul food up and down the hill for each meal. I camped here with my husband, three kids, and two cats. The creek with sunlight filtering through the trees and dozens of blue and white butterflies really made it magical. The birdwatching is fantastic too. Blackberries, salmonberries, and thimbleberries are abundant - made for excellent bush pies! Site was tidy and the paths and roads are well maintained. You can tell this place is a passion project and well loved. The outhouse is clean and didn't smell bad at all, but be warned - spiders love the bugs attracted by the light in there. We had to clean out a number of brown widows (?) before we could comfortably use it. That's coming from a family of arachnophobes though, so take it with a grain of salt LOL. Didn't hear the other campers at Valhalla. Overall a wonderful experience.

Shawn was so accommodating and a wonderful steward of her land and campsites! The site was super clean, spacious, right near the meadow and just a short 2 minute walk the wonderful river front she has on her land. The outhouses were kept up nicely, the sites were spaced far apart, and they were all pretty large!

Amazing experience on the farm! Jenel and Khohay are very friendly and kind hosts. It was so nice seeing all the farm animals - they’re right next to you! I highly highly recommend the Khohay farm. If you’re new to camping at all, this is a very ease into the experience :)
