Weekend Trip to Pirate River

We loved our tent camping experience here — the photos don’t do it justice! The site felt very private, and the trees around our campsite provided great shade while we were sleeping, cooking, and even sheltering from some light rain. The campsite is well equipped with everything you could need: bathrooms, shower, picnic table and a fire pit. We especially enjoyed the abundance of birds along the river — their songs and the sounds of wildlife at night were so calming. We’re very grateful for this experience. Thank you, Roger!

The spot was amazing and well taken care of. We had a wonderful family time and the hosts were super helpful with anything we had questions about or needed. Would definitely go back again. My kids are still talking about Tina and how our family needs a pug as well.

Weekend Trip to Peterson Lake Ranch

Hauntingly serene and remote location in the basalt columned scablands of Eastern Washington on the unrestored portion of a family ranch in the Crab Creek bottoms. Interesting historic barns and structures with cool vintage retired machinery. It’s a new HipCamp and will likely get some improvements, like signage and some tidying of the immediate grounds and perhaps more detail in the listing. There’s only one hookup spot, so if it’s taken, you’ll be dry camping. But the host was amenable to getting some distance from the other guest while I was there. The price is very reasonable. The region has so few camping opportunities, I’m grateful they opened up this gem. BNSF trains run by a couple times an hour 200 yards away, but no crossings for miles, so no whistles.

We rented Maggie's trailer for Watershed weekend and it worked out great. They were very responsive with any questions we had, it was very clean and comfortable. Great location not only from the ampitheater but the river is across the street and the trailer is on a quiet road very peaceful.

What a beautiful relaxing tent spot. I travel a lot and stupid amount and I’m over hotels. This place was just what I needed to regenerate my mind , body and soul. The host was super nice and said hello and made sure all was good for me and I didn’t see him again I was left to piece and quite and I loved it. Early mornings are awesome with the sun coming up over the horizon and I had a great fire pit to watch at night. Well, done Roger you’ve got a beautiful property.
