4. Wild Brothers Farm

We are a small family farm on 11 acres, home to free-ranging dogs, cats, and chickens. Being in Ellensburg, it’s often windy, so tent sites are located on the less windy side of the home. We do not have toilet access at this time. We’ve just finished our first RV hookup and are excited to start welcoming guests! As a small family, we’re providing space to hopefully benefit everyone. We also have the unique ability to host horses!

Exquisitely beautiful area formed by melting glaciers forming the "Alta Coulee". The campground is situated at the South end of Alta Lake, opened in 1946 and operated by my Grandparents until 1980, when my father decided to continue operations adding Outfitting and Guide services into the Pasayten and Sawtooth Wilderness areas. Covid put a halt on business for a few years, but we are back and making some gradual upgrades and changes to offer camping and horseback riding experiences again! The lake is 220 acres known to Anglers near and far. Plenty of room for the sunseekers wanting to play in the water on paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis, and water skiing. An 18-hole Golf Course resides at the North end of the lake and white water rafting just a few miles down the hill on the Methow River. Must book horseback riding in advance. We offer free Wi fi to guests near the office only.

Great place with a beautiful view of the Valley, highly recommend staying at this location, I will be returning. The gift bag upon arrival was a real treat. Has lots of cool and interesting things to do while visiting including some treats. The fresh fruit right beside the camp spot was another great treat and nice to have. This is an active farm so take that into consideration when booking. Extremely respectful people that work on the farm that respect peoples privacy, very friendly work force. Would highly recommend this location, only 7 minute drive to amenities and beach areas.

Weekend Trip to Silver Ridge Ranch & Campground

Really enjoyed my stay here, I did stay on a busy holiday weekend so the only spots available were the partial hookup spots meant for a class b or c to pull forward into, so I struggled a bit backing my trailer into it but we made it work! The showers were hot and nice too which was great. Close to snoqualmie pass which was convenient for hiking!

The campground was easy to find. It was private and clean all throughout. Love that there’s shower and the bathroom was always kept clean and nice. We came during Labor Day weekend so they have some bouncy, music and fun activities for the kids. Would definitely come back again

Another site. Super secluded. Beautiful!

We love Buck Meadows and have been camping here for years. The site is private and picturesque yet located quite close to town. The sites are ready-to-go with a fire pit, table, garbage, and benches/chairs, so it is easy to roll in with your tent and enjoy the space immediately. Brynn is always very receptive and helpful, and we can't wait to come back again!

Fantastic camp site. Went on a busy weekend and you could tell they still made an effort to space out the sites as much as possible. Beautiful trees around, great star gazing, HOT SHOWERS, great vibes from the staff and other campers. Highly recommend! Felt like glamping! Location is unbeatable.

Absolutely amazing spot! We're traveling across the country this summer and this was by far one of the best. We work from the road and Starlink worked great here. We have a 26' travel trailer and it fit perfectly. I can't imagine anything much bigger driving down the narrow dirt roads and getting up the little hill to the spot, but if you can get there, you definitely should. We can't wait to come back!

Pros: Super convenient location that was easy to navigate to from the highway. The pull through was nice too. Despite the campground being almost full on Saturday night; it was pretty quiet. The staff was kind and helpful. Cons: There wasn’t any grassy areas around the rv sites like the pictures suggested. The highway noise was pretty significant.

Weekend Trip to Buck Meadows

After a recon mission to Teanaway and Taneum, I stumbled upon Brynn’s property and knew this was the perfect place for my family’s very first camping trip. The sites are private and extremely easy to access. It’s peaceful, fun, and truly the perfect place to kick back, relax, and enjoy some time outdoors. Our kiddo was able to ride his bike, run around, go on the paddle boat, throw rocks in the river, and even got to meet Fudge, Tootsie, Salt & Pepper (Brynn’s goats and lambs)! We only live 15 minutes away and felt like we were able to really “get away from it all.” The location is perfect for a quick weekend away or an extended stay if you’re traveling. I can’t say enough about Brynn - she’s accommodating, helpful, engaged, and checks on you to make sure everything is going well. We are grateful to cross paths and will 100% be returning very soon! 1000/10 stars!
