The best safari tents near North Bend

·

If you're visiting North Bend, chances are you may be a fan of the classic TV series Twin Peaks, which was filmed in this compact city. While Twin Peaks tourism is a big deal here to this day, there's plenty more to see and do, even if you aren't a fan of the program. Highlights include the historical McGrath Hotel, dating back to 1922 and the slightly newer North Bend Theater, which operates as a movie theater to this day. North Bend also puts you within easy reach of outdoor recreation in the surrounding Snoqualmie Valley and is just a 20-minute drive from the slopes at Snoqualmie Pass.

But wait, there’s more: a two-tent campground where we provide the tents, a shared, covered and fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a shared composting outhouse (cleaned at least once a day). Campground has access to shower and fire pit as well. Explore our forest trails leading to the serene wetland, and don't miss our unique 26-foot-wide, 10-foot-tall Woodhenge – a magical spot to relax in a hammock, read a book, or stargaze. Two Frog Bog invites you to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the variety of accommodations and shared spaces we offer. NEWS  Our property was hit hard in the Bomb Cyclone of Nov '24. Sadly, we lost the Funk House.  The Paisley Paradise yurt was severely damaged and is under repair.  The Dragonfly Den remained unharmed and has been upgraded with the queen bed from the Funk House.  Other areas need rebuilding.  If you've loved this place or wish to visit and would like to help with rebuilding costs, we would be truly grateful.  Read our story at GoFundMe.  https://gofund.me/d44abefc

Come stay in our beautiful safari tent and experience our flower farm and old-growth Maple Forest. Located in the heart of Olalla near the Colvos Passage waterway, a ferry ride from West Seattle, 20 minutes from Tacoma, and near the quaint town of Gig Harbor. Last year we upgraded to two queen sized memory foam beds!! Lovely 100% cotton sheets and cozy blankets will keep you nice and comfy on those cool nights. Two extra twin sized cots are available to rent in the "Extras" section of the listing.** You will feel very secluded on our 5 acre property. Our parcel is partially wooded and partially cleared for our flower farm. But it adjoins neighboring properties that have an additional 20+ acres that are totally wooded giving the feeling of being further away from civilization than you are. Enjoy an outdoor shower on the edge of the woods with on-demand hot water. You’ll also have your own custom made steel fire pit with fire wood available for purchase (or you can bring your own). We have an outdoor picnic table as well as a table inside the tent for late night card games. There's a lovely little bathroom with a composting toilet and a sink with running water. We allow up to 6 people (absolutely no pets) and request that parties respect the limit so that our composting toilet can keep up with the demand with minimal servicing while you are here (to maintain your privacy). Please contact us to set up a time for a guided tour if you are interested in seeing the farm up close. Please no U-pick or tours without guidance. We’d like to make sure to point out that there is convenient and dedicated parking for campers but the camping spot is about 200 feet from the parking area and over uneven ground. A cart is provided for unpacking your vehicle. Because it is very dark here at night, we would request that campers arrive before dark to safely find their way and unload with adequate light. Things provided: Weather proof tent, two queen sized beds and bed linens, outdoor and indoor tables chairs, solar-powered lights, composting toilet, firepit, outdoor shower with hot water, parking for 2 cars. NOT provided: Extra bedding or sleeping bags (for the rentable cots,), cookware, dishes, power of any kind, ice or food.

Where to go

Snoqualmie Valley

North Bend is situated right in the Snoqualmie Valley, a region dotted with lakes, rivers, and hiking trails that make it ideal for summertime recreation. Popular activities include hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and kayaking.

Snoqualmie Pass

A short drive east of town, Snoqualmie Pass has long been popular with skiers, snowboarders, and innertube enthusiasts, with slopes for all levels. The most challenging, Alpental, draws experienced skiers from around the region.

Bainbridge Island

Across the Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island is a popular getaway for Seattle-area residents, with great shopping and restaurants plus a handful of museums. It's also an excellent place to explore the great outdoors, with plenty of spots to hike, fish, and camp during the summer months.

When to go

North Bend is best visited in July and August, when temperatures are at their warmest and rainfall is less likely, though June and September are also relatively warm with an average eight or nine days of rain. The rest of the year is cool and rainy, but not cold, making North Bend and the surrounding areas good for year-round camping. While December and January can get pretty cold, temperatures rarely dip below freezing, even at night.
