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.

Come unwind in Lucinda the Bigfoot, located in the luscious urban-countryside of the Fraser Valley. Tastefully decorated and thoughtfully furnished, Lucinda is a small 1984 Bigfoot fiberglass trailer, her updated interior nods graciously at her charming, vintage past. Relax in lawn chairs under an airy canopy, light the fire bowl, and listen to the singing birds in the morning and peeping frogs at night. Lucinda is conveniently located in Abbotsford near three famous Mt Lehman area wineries, Mission Bridge, great walking trails and mountain hikes, fantastic Mt Baker view, berry picking, boutique shopping, and the Abbotsford airport. Lucinda features all the comforts of home snugly assembled in one cozy room. Great for a quick stop, weekend stay, or fun alternative place to have a break. Lucinda has a toaster, tea kettle, pots, cast-iron pan, and all your basic kitchen needs. Feel free to use the stove-top to heat something up or call in a meal with SkipTheDishes or DoorDash. In need of a coffee fix? If you are feeling organic, help yourself to local whole beans, or we have ground coffee for a speedier option. Savour it in genuine vintage Denby stoneware! Enjoy our comfortable mattress, pillows, and high-quality linens. Towels, toiletries, and a clothes steamer are provided for your convenience. You can adjust the thermostat to your liking, and the MaxxFan air vent works like an A/C on summer nights to keep you comfortable. Lucinda has a small table for meals or working on your laptop. The bed is a small full-size bed and can accommodate one adult or two slender adults who like to be close together 😉. You can stretch out comfortably at a length of 6’3”. Due to the size of the trailer, it may not be suitable for children. There is not currently a TV, but you will have access to WiFi, so be sure to bring your laptop to cuddle up and watch your favorite shows or movies in bed! The bathroom is, frankly, a fairy-sized wet room – Lucinda is economical like that. It will give you a decent shower though and we provide bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The toilet is flushable, and we provide RV toilet paper that is made specifically for our RV plumbing system. The water heater works well and heats up pretty quickly. However, it is a standard RV water heater which means you'll have about 5-6 minutes of hot water until it heats up again. The shower head has a stop button to control water usage while you are showering. Lastly, please do not be surprised that Lucinda is small; she is small. However, we find her to be a comfortable resting place. -Guest access- You may use the outdoor areas located directly outside of the RV but please respect the area around the adjacent private residence as off limits.

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!

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.

Lucinda was a great place for our weekend getaway! Erica thought of absolutely everything to make sure we had what we needed :) loved the cats and being woken up by the rooster too! It was very lovely to explore two new cities for us, Mission and Abbotsford, both a 20 minute ride away.

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!

The best vintage trailers in Deception Pass guide

Notable campgrounds

Best for sunset: Bowman Bay
Best for paddlers: Ben Ure Island
Best for groups: Cranberry Lake

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve all of the park’s 172 tent sites, 134 partial-hookup sites, and five hiker/biker sites online.
Deception Pass is a popular state park. Reservations should be made in advance, especially for summer weekends. All campsites can be reserved online, up to nine months in advance of the arrival date.
The Ben Ure Cabin on Ben Ure Island is accessible only by kayak or rowboat, and guests must bring their own water.

When to go

Deception Pass State Park is open year-round. In the Coastal Northwest’s relatively mild climate, there’s never a bad time to visit. Summers, especially on weekends and holidays, are very busy here. But come in the shoulder season—in the spring or early summer, before July 4—or early fall, after Memorial Day, and you’re more likely to find seclusion. Weekdays are generally a better bet, too.

Know before you go

You can rent kayaks and stand-up paddleboards at the Bowman Bay concession stand from April through September.
Visitors will need to display a day-use or annual Discover Pass. The park has automated pay stations dispensing both, along with boat launch permits.
The park has 1.2 miles of ADA hiking trails, in addition to three miles of bike trails, six miles of horse trails, and 38 miles of hiking trails.
