Patrick’s spot was the perfect set up for us while visiting Seattle. We had originally planned one night but extended to 2 just so we could have more time there. If you need a convenient spot to park your RV (ours was 23ft) like we did then I would definitely recommend this site as it was super easy to find and use as a base in Seattle.

We stayed for 2 nights to explore the surrounding area in Carnation, Fall City, and Snoqualmie and this site was perfect. Only 1 RV spot so you don't have any other campers around. Adorable goats, sheep, and pig next to the RV site so we were able to watch them while eating breakfast. Amazing sunrises and beautiful view of the mountains and morning fog. Quiet and serene. Host was incredibly gracious and offered us a farm tour. It was a bit of a tight squeeze to get on the driveway from off the road, but other than that, it was great.

Broad view of Site 4. Another site (Site 3) is to the right of this photo. Friends and family should book these sites together.

Patrick was an outstanding host. This is a perfect spot to be in a peaceful, beautiful place, and yet it is so close to downtown Seattle. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again whenever I’m traveling up to Seattle:-)

We loved the location of Patrick’s Hideaway. We are new to RVing and this was our last stop on a cross country trip from Plymouth, Massachusetts to Seattle, Washington. After hiking trails at Mount Rainier, we needed a place close to the city as we were dropping our new van off to get some customization done in Seattle. Very quiet and private. We met Patrick after we arrived and he is a great host.

In the big city of Seattle I doubt there are many ‘driveway camp spots’ like Patrick’s! We love staying there because it’s so close to downtown, stadiums, museums, restaurants, parks, etc. It’s not fancy but it’s fairly quiet (a few airplanes overhead and a little road noise), level for RVs, easy to connect to 30 amp power, and is next to a lovely perennial garden that has a small private sitting area in it, The camp spots is at the end of a dead end road so there’s little traffic and behind the garden is a wild undeveloped area that buffers much of the city noise.

Patrick was a great host. The description and setting were accurate and we were able to enjoy a lovely view of a garden. The location was so close to T-Mobile park and we felt like we were home away from home. Would love to return next year to catch another Mariners game!

The novelty hill farm was perfect for a car camping weekend! Stephanie and her family were extremely welcoming. Our campsite was right on the river which was perfect for swimming and playing with the dogs. We had a fantastic experience!

Staying at Patrick's provided the perfect spot for my partner and me to drop off our trailer and have a fun night in Seattle, seeing some friends and a show. We initially considered camping down at Dash Point State Park, but when we saw Patrick's place on HipCamp, the location couldn't be beat! The spot is charming and we both slept great. Patrick himself is very kind, welcoming, and helpful (we were new to the trailer and nervous about backing down the long driveway... but we did it successfully, and Patrick helped advise us before we started). All in all, I highly recommend staying here!
