*Tent Camping Only* If you plan to sleep in your car, this is not the campground for you.
Tuck into your private campsite amongst the trees with sweeping field and farm views. Sites are spaced apart from eachother, nestled along a forested tree line. These tent sites are about a 300ft walk from the parking lot, and vehicles can not access the sites. Each site offers a picnic table and fire pit.
*Please pay attention to the fact that these are walk-in sites, and you'll be hauling your camping items from the parking area over uneven ground. We provide a cart to help tote your items, if needed. Pack accordingly*
There is a communal central deck for camper's use, with a sink, propane stove, some cooking utensils, power outlet and a hose bib. A communal port-a-potty is available to campers.
The working farm fields are not open to campers, but can be admired as a backdrop. Wave hi to any farmers you see out there working! A You-Pick flower patch and farm stand at the entrance of the property are open for frolicking, picture-taking and flower-picking seasonally.
You'll see bald eagles, hear owls and watch deer pass through your camp. But you are only about a 5-10 min walk from town! This does mean you'll often hear music from events on weekend evenings, and plane traffic does fly overhead. Vashon is quiet and full of nature, but you're not out in the middle of nowhere! We hope you enjoy all that there is to do here, and create some great stories :)

Great location, great host. No smoking anywhere on the property and the oversellus barking neighbor dogs were kind of a pain as we had to keep our babies inside the whole time. But, a very good place if you do not smoke and have no dogs. The site can be difficult to navigate if you are limited on experience.

We absolutely loved staying in the yurt it was very spacious with plenty of extra moving around space. The host left us lots of candles and other essentials to use during our stay. The outside firepit, bbq and hammock is a great addition. Although the mosquitoes where out with a vengence we managed with the spray and tiki torches our host also provided. (Understandably so since we had a nice good rain a day before our trip)

This was a beautiful spot on some beautiful wilderness. The site is very lovingly cared for and maintained by the owner, with fantastic personal touches around the land. Little wooden statues, unique stump and log carved outdoor furniture, and winding stone and gravel work are spread throughout the main site, making it feel like you're walking into a secret magic valley. There's plenty of nice trails across the property that take you down to the creek and into other interesting parts of the forest. The creek itself has a small kayak tied up and a few floaties that kids can use in the shallow water to play without having to worry. The campsites themselves are spacious and well maintained and spread apart; each site felt very private and personable. The host is causal and friendly and gave good vibes from the moment we pulled up to the site. A great place to stay that's not too far into the wilderness, but still feels wild and mysterious.

We loved staying at Alyssa's farm. The property has beautiful flowers, chickens, a couple of pigs, and lots of birds. The campsite is nestled in the trees on the eastern edge of the property, so there's nice morning shade. The community kitchen was great, and the cherry trees offered shade in the afternoon/evening when the campsite gets more direct sun exposure. It was conveniently located close to town (easy 10min. walk). All in all, great experience and would stay here again.
