Forest camping with a salmon stream. 10 acres of permaculture and mycology includes granite fire pits and loop trails with dispersed sites for tents, vans and truck campers. Enjoy a private island with a naturist beach. Bbq and disc golf basket. Hammocking trees at the viewpoint. Make campfire connections and find yourself here.
Guests love it here: "We stayed two nights at Curley Creek Canyon and loved the experience! Jerrett was a wonderful host and met us upon arrival with great recommendations of places to explore on his beautiful property. The camp sites are clean, private, and have fire pits, and benches provided. We took the roped trail down to the creek (bring gloves it’s a bit steep) and saw large groups of salmon swim upstream. This time of year is magical with the dropping leafs and lush moss/fungus sightings. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick getaway from the city to connect to nature. Thanks, Jerrett for the experience and look forward to our next visit!"

Manchester State Park
4. Manchester State Park
State park 595mi from Manchester · 2 sites
Manchester State Park features a beach, sand dunes, and flat grasslands, with nearly 18,000 feet of ocean frontage. The beach line curves gently to form a "catch basin" for sea debris, which accounts for the volume of driftwood found here. Five miles of gentle, sandy beach stretches southward towards the Point Arena Lighthouse.
One of the main attractions is the excellent steelhead fishing in the park’s two streams, Brush Creek and Alder Creek. The park features a variety of coastal wildflowers, including sea pinks, poppies, lupines, baby blue eyes and blue irises. The park provides habitat for tundra swans. The San Andreas Fault runs into the sea at the park.
The park takes its name from the village of Manchester, which is located in Mendocino County on Coast Highway 1 about seven miles north of Point Arena.
This is an area of rich grazing lands, flocks of sheep and herds of cattle which add a pastoral note to some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the world.

*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 :)

This backyard shed conversion is a perfect mix of comfy and quirky! Ms Pacman, Beanie Babies, and a lips couch all make an appearance in this suburban backyard glamping experience! At just 186 square feet, this spot is all yours to enjoy away from the noise of the city in our large, lush backyard. You have a private patio to smoke or enjoy meals on our cedar deck, or enjoy a drink in the shared hammock space under our towering Eastern Hemlock tree.
Your quiet backyard refuge is equipped with everything you’ll need for a fun weekend away. We are just two blocks from the bus stop--close to the airport, close to downtown, and walkable to White Center. And only two blocks from your door is Westcrest Park, a Greenbelt with trails and a beautiful view of the Seattle skyline. If you feel like staying in, enjoy our “mini arcade” or make use of some of our board games or coloring books. Relax on an iconic Seattle drag bar’s original “lips couch” or grab a book from our queer library.
This is a stand alone structure w/small AC unit and wall heater. There is no shower in this dry space, but there is a camping sink that functions like a normal kitchen sink with hot water capacity. The shed has an easy to use composting toilet with clear instructions if you’re a first timer. Also, this IS a converted shed, so be ready for some lower ceilings and narrow spaces. The lofted full bed is cozy, but don’t bop your head on the way out! The bed has a six inch memory foam mattress with extra blankets and pillows. Everything is washed with free and clear detergent for sensitivities.
We provide a small refrigerator, a 2 burner stove, coffee supplies (keurig pods,pour over coffee with creamer/sugar), wine opener, dishes, and more. We have 2 tables where you can enjoy meals and games either indoors or outdoors.
One block away is Highland Park which has a tennis court and baseball field. A mile north, explore the West Duwamish Greenbelt Trails. 2 blocks south is Westcrest Park that hosts a community garden, a dog park, and small trails in their greenbelt. You’re also walking distance to downtown White Center, which has breweries, a roller skating rink, a gay bar, and plenty of coffee shops/restaurants.

Our time at Octavius was perfect! The Airstream was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. It's not super private (there is are a couple small homes on the lot, one is also a vacation rental) but it was private enough for us. Margo has two dogs that roam the property that were very friendly. We enjoyed when the pups would come to us for a visit. The fresh eggs were wonderful for breakfast. The property and surrounding area was absolutely gorgeous. We would definitely recommend this HipCamp and hope to return again someday.

1 night at Bywater Yurt
This was a solo-adventure for myself and it was perfect. Megan is so lovely and responsive. The yurt has a luxurious bed with tables in all the right spots. As detailed, there is no electricity. There are 2 lamps, that were enough for me, but if you need lots of light bring some pre-charged or battery powered lights and a flashlight to light your way to the compost toilet (it’s great!). The yurt is situated close to everything on the island, yet sits so far away from the road that it allows for the calm and quiet with amazing star gazing. Although it had been a warm day, the cross breeze through the screens made it cool by evening. The property is beautiful and if you’re lucky you’ll get to see the deer family that prefer Megan’s space to all others on the island.

Allison and Brian are creating an oasis with a lot of attention to details. It is a beautiful property that is close to many activities in the area.
We attended an event in Tacoma for a day and it was an easy trip.
Communication was easy and quick.
We recommend staying at least a few days. Besides lots of things to do close by, staying at the campsite was so relaxing! You do not want to miss out on the beautiful sauna, the comfortable lounge area or taking a stroll in their small, but magical forest.
