Weekend Trip to Private Beach, 15 Acres, Vashon

This was one of the best places we have stayed (25 ft Motor-home) with a gorgeous view, super quiet and a fairly empty beach to walk down to where the dog could run free. Will be back since this is a great place to play and Vashon is fun to walk around and get some goodies. On the way , Point Defiance is a great park to check out too.

Great spot, especially if you're attending Remlinger Farms events or want a conveniently located and private quiet and beautiful space to relax. The hosts were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and respectful.

For the plant lovers, there's a huge variety of vegetation to check out.

Sally and Berry were amazing hosts. They have a beautiful property and our spot was nice and secluded. The porta potty was clean and convenient. Josh's hideaway is an awesome spot but my tent was definitely to big. A smaller tent would work better because there isn't a big level area. There are lots of trails. We were going to a concert at Remlinger Farms and there is a trail great for biking or walking to get there. Berry showed us how to find it. I would absolutely stay there again. We appreciated our hosts kindness.

Lisa’s land made our first time car camping adventure special. The pond site had a lovely beach front view and short trail down to the beach. The directions could have used some landmarks like Turn left at the barn.

Sally and her family were welcoming hosts, Sally had an opening for a more secluded campsite so we ended up staying there and loved it. Beautiful site, really cool trails, great shade, very quiet. Loved the access to the Snoqualmie Valley trail; we ended up walking all the way into Carnation and it was beautiful.
