32mi from Kirkland · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Arlington, WA
Nestled near Arlington, our 75-acre property spans both new and old forest, featuring a salmon-filled creek and a vibrant beaver pond—all set against the dramatic backdrop of a 1,200-foot sheer 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 a harmony so seamless, it feels effortless.

Welcome to The Landing at Index - located on the South Fork Skykomish River, in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains, off of Highway 2. With 16 acres of beautiful, private woods and breathtaking views of Mt. Index, this is a wonderful getaway to kick back and relax after your day of adventures, or just to escape the city rush. This is a gated property, protected with a code, which you will be sent 24 hours before your arrival. The campsites are at the bottom of a long logging road so an SUV or AWD vehicle are preferable , especially during the wetter seasons. When the property was logged approximately 100 years ago they scooped out gravel from the river to make their roads in the area thus creating the back eddy pool along the beach. A rather peaceful setting, including the rushing sound of the river and the occasional whistle of a train. You will feel refreshed and rejuvenated after you stay at The Landing. Pets are welcome, there are private outhouses at each campsite. These outhouses are protected with a code, which is sent to you 24 hours before your arrival. Campfires are allowed (when burn bans are not in place).

Camp Keyser is a wooded 5 acre parcel in the mountains, near mountain loop highway - in the center of everything wonderful in the northern cascade mountains. We have one private cabin and 6 campsites. Tent campers will enjoy the lush landscape of a mature forest with sites along the (seasonal) Thirsty Creek. Nearby (3 minute walk), users can contemplate views of Whitehorse Mountain, Jumbo Mountain, Glacier Peak, and Whitechuck Mountain. This part of the Stillaguamish valley and the adjacent Mountain Loop Highway is known for a great selection of hiking trails, at all skill levels. It is perfect hub for all of your outdoor interests. The trailhead for the summit of Whitehorse Mountain is just a mile away, as is Old Mine Road trail (45 minute hike ending in 2 waterfalls). A 15-20 minute walk takes campers to a swimming hole in the cool Stillaguamish river for a dip or a paddle. Even closer is Whitehorse Regional Trail (great for biking, walking and horseback riding) built on the bed of the former BNSF railroad through the North Stillaguamish River Valley, spanning over 27 miles. The nearly level trail meanders through the valley, rewarding visitors with picturesque, landscape views of forests, farmland, streams and rivers, and mountain vistas. Sites have a generous fire pit and access to a Porta-Potty. For bathing I recommend cool dip in the Stillaguamish River. In season there is also fishing, snowshoeing, concerts at the blue grass festival grounds, a rodeo, and so much more.

Where to go

Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

Soar above sea-level at Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Just over an hour north of Kirkland at the edge of Mount Rainier National Park, Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest boasts glacial landscapes, old growth forests, and mountainside meadows. Year-round activities await as the national forest offers onsite campgrounds, trailheads, sno-parks, and water sites. For those hoping to summit Mt. Baker, glacial-climbing gear is a must. Due to its high elevation, the park sees snow well into the year, so prepare for cold weather until late June and even July.

Belfair State Park

Wander west to the pebble beaches of Belfair State Park. About two hours from Kirkland in the Hood Canal, Belfair features wetlands and beaches. Known for its gentle winds, this park is ideal for wind-surfing, kite-flying, and kayaking. With three camping loops, waterfront sites, full hookups, and first-come, first-served primitive camping, this state park has campsites for everyone. There are also three restroom locations with showers.

Bridle Trails State Park

Built into the landscape of Kirkland itself, Bridle Trails State Park brings equestrians, hikers, and horses together. Known as “the wilderness in the city” and as one of the top equestrian parks west of the Mississippi, Bridle Trails is home to four sporting arenas and 28 miles of trails. Campers can enjoy the day-use picnic area featuring BBQs, water, and restrooms, though it is encouraged to get there early—especially on weekends. Despite the lack of onsite camping, there are nearby campsites in Kirkland, Redmond, and Bellevue.
