The Cedar River Retreat is its own little oasis. Located past an old fisherman's community along the river, close to shopping and stores but tucked away from it all just enough to reconnect with nature. This plot was purchased in 2016 and we hope you have a great time creating memories like we have over the last few years. We currently have an off-grid cabin, RV site and a tent camping only site. The outdoors are for everyone! We are excited to host you soon! Happy adventuring!

Aquaman Mountain
9 sites · RVs, Tents322 acres · Black Diamond, King
322 acres that was cut down in 2020. We are growing over 150,000 trees on it now with plans to line the 1.5 mile driveway with Japanese Cherry Blossoms from DC (Yoshino, Kwanzan, Weeping, Okame, Higan). The mountain starts at 600 feet elevation and climbs to 1600 feet. Very peaceful and remote yet you can see Seattle and Mt Rainer.
As I will spend over $60k a year fighting blackberry, cottonwood, red alder, and Elk to get our forest established in the next few years, your contribution by staying here will 100% assist with helping the trees.
There are 9 different secluded campsites on the mountain.
All the sites can be used to host parties of up to 150 people (we have done it several times). The issue to consider is traffic. For large parties, we ask most people (usually car people) to park below on Green River Gorge Rd (there is a large county pull off) and then load into the back of trucks for the drive up the mountain. It is a one lane road, so it could get congested if 100 cars drove up it. One retirement party rented a bus for running people up and down and a porta potty at their site for guests. I am very happy to assist with party planning and setup if you have a wedding or retirement or business party. (or anything else)
Boy and Girl Scout troops and Explorer scout units are welcome to camp free (when doing unit camping). Site 4 would be best for large troops.

The Happy Horse Farm
5 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Lakewood, Pierce
Property is a 5-acre gated horse farm surrounded by wooded military property on 3 sides.
Conveniently located 15-20 minutes from Tacoma and Olympia.
Just 5 mins to Starbucks/coffee and grocery stores but far enough away from the city so it feels more secluded.
American Lake and Spanaway Lake (and their parks with playgrounds) for swimming and paddle boarding are both just 5 mins away!
The owner lives on site, as well as several horses, chickens, and a dog.
Large stone fire pit with chairs near house is available for camper use.
Pending: Paddle board rental and bicycles for use on property or trails!
Set-up your tent anywhere within the horse paddocks - there are no specific sites, although there is a small fire pit and rustic bench seating at far back corner of property.
Tents can be outside of horse areas as well, if preferred.
RV dry camping anywhere within or outside horse areas.
For RVs needing dedicated electrical/water hookup, there are specific sites closer to the house.
***If you are travelling with more than one vehicle, please purchase an car extra parking spot.***
Only four 30amp RV spots are available and are most easily accessible for Rvs under 30'. Standard 110volt outlets can also be available for RV use.
Woodbrook Hunt Club, the oldest fox hunting club west of the Mississippi, is a neighbor so lots of horseback riding goes on in the neighborhood. (Dragged scent only, no live foxes are harmed.)
Private horseback riding lessons or guided trail rides available by reservation only, subject to weather and owner availability.
Use of military trails adjacent to property for hiking and bike riding subject to open land usage and permitting by military base.
Happy HipCamping! 😊
