Relax and enjoy the privacy and beauty of our 10-acre secluded property. The property is a mowed, open grass field surrounded by forest and an adjacent pond. Camp sites have a view of an eagle's nest and our six-hole frisbee golf course. Frisbees are provided and only campers and the residents use the course.
Camp sites include a raised 12' by 12' tent pad, picnic table, space for one or two vehicles that can be parked near the forest or in the field, and use of a porta-potty (cleaned regularly and pumped out weekly). Potable water is located from a spigot in the pasture.
Choose from three camp sites: Eagle Eyrie, Owl Hollow, or Hawk Nest. Sites are roomy enough for RV campers and ideal for a private Pacific Northwest getaway.
Our property is in close proximity to downtown Bellingham and downtown Ferndale (only 5 miles north or south) and all the delicious restaurants, live music, and parks they provide; but is nestled into a pastoral refuge. Seattle is 1.5 hours south and Vancouver is 1 hour north.
Free water and sewer dump are available at the Lummi Market, within one mile of the house.
Property owners, Kim & Jeff, live onsite if you have questions or need anything; however the camp sites are tucked away such that the camping area is entirely separate.
Property is accessed down a long gravel driveway on the east side of Rural Avenue, just across the street from a log cabin/house. A yellow "Rural Rodeo" sign is located below the mailboxes adjacent to our driveway. Please keep an eye out for our address #, as some of the mapping systems have you drive past our driveway. The driveway extends past a large barn. Keep right on the driveway at the "Y", then take another right to follow the yellow chip road along the side of our arena toward the camp sites.

Come enjoy our Neptune Beach RV campsite. Fall asleep to the white noise of the evening waves washing away the footprints from the beachcombers of the day. Wake up to a refreshing, salty breeze and feel your stress melt away. Find your mind wandering as you take in all the wonderful views available within just a short walk from your RV. Take a bike ride down "The Point" and explore the trails that surround the local boating marina. Enjoy direct access to the ocean and experience a breathtaking sunset while exploring on your paddleboard or kayak. Or hop in your car and take a quick 5-minute drive to the Silver Reef Casino for some great food, exciting gambling, and even live shows.
The city of Ferndale and Interstate 5 are both only a 15-minute drive from camp. This will conveniently get you to nearby popular destinations, like Galbraith Mountain, the ever-growing and popular mountain biking area. Spend a day tearing up the mountain trails and come back to camp for some quiet, relaxing time near the beach.
You may even find a new, fun hobby while you're visiting, like photography. There are endless chances to get some great shots of all the wildlife activity along the beachfront. But don't forget to keep an eye out for the furry highland cattle across the street grazing along to the tune of the Red-winged Blackbirds of the marsh.
PLEASE NOTE: Since this property is on tribal land, fireworks are common in this part of Whatcom County during the the last week of June and first week of July. Please keep this in mind if you will be traveling with pets.

June Bud Farms was established in 1960s.
Blending two single parents, each with 4 kids. While June & Bud raised 8 kids, they collected Registered Holsteins for their quaint dairy. As the Dairy grew to 110 acres home to 120 heifers', they soon had to add an additional milking parlor. From milking 4 cows to a staggering 12 at once, Bud made the paper for the cutting edge technology!
As time marches on, the kids all grown, the little farm retired. Fast forward to 2020, its time to breath new life into this stout and sturdy barn. Cows are not in the current foreseeable future, but flowers are. We will carry on the name of Grandma June and Grandpa Bud. The play on the names is still quite fitting, and June Bud Farms continues to live on.
Now, we warmly welcome visitors to our farm, where they can create cherished memories while camping and hosting events, whether large or small. Enjoy the tranquil landscapes of Whatcom County here at June Bud Farms.

When we purchased
this property it was covered with black berry bushes, we did not even know what might be underneath when we started to clear it.
At first we just wanted a garden but the deer ate the blueberries so we planted pumpkins.
They were a success, in fact one year we gave a pumpkin to each Beach School kindergartner.
Later on we decided to set it up as with RV hook ups for our friends and that is how we got to where we are now.
We love to share Lummi Island, it is a special place and we added the tag "Beach, Bikes and Hikes" lots to do on Lummi so bring your bikes, kayaks, walking shoes.
Park your camping trailer or RV, water, electricity, both 110 and 30 amp service, sewer (septic hook up)
are ready for you. We have a propane campfire for evening campfires but you will need to hook up your propane to it.
Once you're set up, start exploring. The beach, blizzard trail, ride your bike, bring your kayak or just sit back and take in views all the way to Canada, on Friday night you will see the Alaska ferry go by on its way to Alaska.
Lummi Island does have a grocery store, near the ferry landing, two restaurants, no gas on Lummi, however the store does sell propane.
There is two restaurants on Lummi Island the Beach Store Cafe, moderate prices but only open Thursday thru Sunday and the Galley usually open Wed thru Sunday.
The best part of Lummi Island is the tranquility, kick back and enjoy fresh air, beach walks,
outstanding sunsets and quiet nights.
Pets OK, please pick up after pet and have a leash.

Welcome to our tree farm and certified forest.
**Proud to be named one of the TOP 50 HIPCAMPS IN THE USA for 2025, one of the TOP HIPCAMPS in Washington State for 2025, and one of the best FARM STAYS 2 years in a row.
Looking for an ideal family getaway spot? With our unique location nestled in the foothills of Stewart Mt and the peaceful Squalicum Valley. Rusty Ranch Tree Farm offers 110 acres of meadows and forest. Our location provides easy access to much of our local recreation options and is only 10 min east of Bellingham. The camp area is spacious and can easily accommodate your family and even a couple of friends. Scattered trees offer shade, and large grassy areas provide ample space to roam.
Rusty Ranch Tree Farm is dedicated to "Eduction through Exploration" where we strive to provide your family and friends with more than just a place to amp, but also a place to experience nature and learn about forestry, farming and making maple syrup from trees right here on our farm..
Hike the several miles of nature trails on the hillside and explore our 65 acres of certified forest. Placards on the nature trail are part of our self-guided tour and provide information about forestry and the plants and animals that call this their home. Wander through the old growth groves, walk the 50' boardwalk and see the magical Fern Ridge. There are abundant wildflowers and seasonal berries to pick, as well as a variety of fall apples and pears in the old orchard available for self harvest. You can even purchase a tree to take home and plant.
Other farm experiences include a guided interactive nature tour for your group, a class on making maple syrup, or experience farm life and come "hang with the hens" or enjoy some interactive "pony time." We also offer the opportunity to purchase seasonal fruits and vegetables brought to your site. Don't forget to stop by the Snack Shack for fresh cinnamon rolls, a self serve coffee bar, ice cream bars, snacks, drinks, apparel and locally made gifts.

There is no restroom facility so campers MUST have an RV with a toilet. Sorry, no tents or car camping. Only one RV at a time is scheduled, unless guests are traveling together, so you’ll have plenty of privacy! (More than two people are welcome.) The huge graveled area makes turning around super easy, and there’s a pretty view to the west over a grassy field toward the sunset and a partial view of Mount Baker to the east. The barn is picturesque, though there are no animals on the property except for two indoor cats.
The RV site has water from the faucet outside of the barn via a 100-foot white drinking water hose. There is a new 30 amp RV style electrical hookup, and a 20 amp household style plug-in located on the side of the barn. Electricity is an additional $5 per night paid in advance. There is a 100 foot heavy duty extension cord available. Benson Road is narrow with a deep ditch, so it isn’t suitable for walking or biking, but traffic noise is minimal. The property sits directly across from the Lynden airport. While planes rarely take off or land here, it’s fun to watch when they glide in to land. On most days you might see three planes, with a few more on Sunday afternoons when people return home.
The property is a flat 1,500 feet long, making it great for walking. It’s also a wonderful spot for dogs to run and play, though since it’s within Lynden city limits, dogs must remain under immediate control or on a leash. Quiet time is strictly observed at 9 p.m. A campfire area is available in the farmyard, with a charged hose required to be on hand. The owner will try to provide firewood and newspaper for starting fires, but availability isn’t guaranteed.
Conveniently located, the property is only a 4-minute drive from charming, flower-filled (in season) downtown Lynden and the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds, 6 minutes from the main grocery shopping area, and about 5 minutes from the Canadian border crossing.
It’s a 30-minute drive south to Bellingham, 30 minutes west to Birch Bay and other waterfront destinations, 1 hour 15 minutes to Anacortes (gateway to the San Juan Islands), and 1 hour 20 minutes east to the Picture Lake Viewpoint on Mt. Baker.

This was a great place to spend the night. We enjoyed it very much. I loaded my Merlin app and quickly had a list of birds to search for. Having access to power was great. We walked around the property with our dog and let him take his time sniffing as much as he wanted. (He also was treated to a few ripe blackberries). Pamela’s property is a wonderful place to relax and I would happily stay there again.

This was our first ever HipCamp stay and we really enjoyed not being in an RV park or a tight campground for a change, while still having full hookups and 50-amp power. We stayed for 11 nights. It was very quiet and peaceful both day and night. It’s so nice to have such a dog-friendly place to stay - we have 3 rascals and it was great having the large field they could explore off leash. As full time RVers this is fairly rare to have. Jordan and his wife were so friendly when we crossed paths, and when their cute baby boy smiled and waved at me from his little swing it just made my whole day. There is a lot to do in the area and this is the perfect place to base yourself.

My husband and I stayed one night in a 20 foot trailer. Mary Lou was an excellent communicator. Always responding promptly and answering any questions we had.
Her place was easy to find with the directions given.
Site was clean, level and easy to pull into and maneuver the trailer without obstructions.
It was nice that there was a table and chairs onsite and we could use it right away and not have to pull ours out of the truck.
The site was private, quiet and we felt safe. We enjoyed the sunset and we were also able to view a couple of small planes take off from the airfield across the way.
Hope to return in the future.

Picnic tables + fire rings at every site. Hot tub fully surrounded by fencing for privacy. The pure Wagyu NY steak i purchased and grilled was mouth watering and i bought a couple more to bring home. Learned a lot about Wagyu beef as well. Cannot say enough good things about this camp. *I actually stayed in site #2, not #8.
