Bus Stop on the Skagit River

Welcome to our unique and unforgettable Thomas School Bus Glamping experience, nestled between the charming towns of Concrete and Sedro Woolley, right by the tranquil Skagit River. Our one-of-a-kind "Skoolie" offers all the comforts and amenities of home, thoughtfully packed into a 40-foot renovated school bus.

Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of the Skagit River flowing nearby, while the possibility of glimpsing elk, deer, river otters, beavers, and even majestic bald eagles soaring above awaits you. The serene setting creates the perfect ambiance for relaxation and reconnecting with nature.

For outdoor enthusiasts, you'll be delighted to know that we are surrounded by numerous hiking adventures, beautiful lakes, and fantastic fishing opportunities. The natural beauty of the area will leave you in awe as you explore the scenic wonders of this picturesque region.

Highwater Farm

At Highwater Farm Jeff and Danielle, and their five kids, work hard to be good stewards of the land. We believe the health of the people is directly related to the health of the land that produces their food. Our land is certified organic. We grow soil improving crops, such as clover and grasses, and let fields rest in rotation with vegetables. These techniques increase fertility naturally and keep the earth in good tilth.

Learn more about this land:

Pitch your tent under a nice shade tree in the middle of an organic vegetable farm in the heart of the  Skagit river valley. Have a look at our sheep, cows, geese and resident eagles. Just 2 miles to Clear lake public beach and minutes to Mount Vernon , Sedro Woolley, or Burlington.  About halfway between Seattle and the Canadian border and 30 min to Anacortes ferry terminal.

Such a magical spot to enjoy the cool morning air.

We returned to the farm to find Jeff and Danielle weeding.

To keep with Anja's summer mission daily dip, we headed to the Skagit River accessible in the nearby town of Mount Vernon.

The rolling hills glowed in the distance.

It felt special to dine in-between working fields.

Still used on the fields, there were a couple of beautiful old tractors.

With a few options for camp spots, we chose a cozy, secluded spot in a bed of tall grass surrounded by beautiful deciduous trees.

Morning stillness. Steam could be viewed rising off the lake.

Seven Lakes Campground

Happy Little Farm

Twelve years ago, Shelley and Casey moved back to the beautiful Skagit Valley farm Shelley grew up on.   Her family has farmed in the valley for five generations.  Casey had studied permaculture in the San Juan Islands and they immediately began planting edible and useful plants throughout the property.  They started a small Community Supported Agriculture program growing vegetables and fruit for several families.  The property has evolved over time to include several living willow structures and a wonderful collection of unusual fruits creating what they hope is the feeling of a Wonderland.

New Van Camping Site in 2023:  We have a new gravel pad van site next to an 18 acre farm field with a wonderful sunset view.   We do not allow fires at the site.  But you would be welcome to have a campfire in our firepit a short walk from your van site.  Please note, we are not currently offering firewood.  But it is available at the Shell station less than 5 minutes from our farm.

Tent Site:  Pitch your tent in a private corner of our little organic farm in the beautiful Skagit Valley.  You will be surrounded by gorgeous edible landscaping and a stunning view of Mount Baker.  Take a stroll through our gardens, graze on some fruit in season.  A 10 minute walk or quick bike ride to the Skagit River offering great swimming in the warmer months.

Our farm is surrounded by many flat scenic farm roads very popular for cyclists and photographers.  There are two restaurants and several antique shops less than a mile away in the cute little town of Conway.  The Conway Muse is a funky music venue and restaurant hosting great live music on weekends throughout the year.

Feel free to pick organic fruits, vegetables and nuts to enjoy at your campsite or take home by donation.

Mother Earth's Pocket

Over 100 years ago, this property was logged of all of it's old growth conifers. Well, things have been growing here ever since. There are many old growth stumps dotted around the property; many acting as "nurse or Mother logs" to new growth. We have been here for 30 years & have select logged keeping the integrity of the property in tact. These trees know they are loved and honored. They are happy & it shows. You feel the vibe a soon as you drive up.

 Since then we have blazed trails & carved out campsites & campgrounds throughout. All of them resembling nature's little carved out "rooms." We have enjoyed this property for these past 33 years. We have shared it with family & friends time & time again. There is so much love & positive energy breathing within these boundaries. I have been very fortunate to have been able to share this place. Now, thanks to Hipcamp, I can share it with you & your family & friends.

 Let Mother Earth's Pocket host your next family camping trip. Looking forward to it. We'll leave the light on for y'all!!

This is Boom Bops Flats. This site features a fir pit. It has ample space for 6- 8 tents & quite a few people. It is a very private space and almost sound proof with all the woods surrounding it. Still doing Spring clean up, but ready for your party to arrive.
