Grey Owl Hollow

Once a working farm, Grey Owl Hollow sat fallow for over 20 years.
In 2017, Seth left the corporate world and he and Yvonne dedicated themselves to the stewardship of this charming locale. 
The densely planted lumber forest was trimmed and thinned, allowing deer and other wildlife migration while providing shady campsites for nature lovers.
Seth has begun planting a redwood grove in the high meadow and Yvonne is adding hazelnut and walnut trees to the 80-year-old apple orchard.
Grey Owl Hollow is in trust and is intended to remain a nature sanctuary for future generations. Our 20 acre piece of heaven includes a fir tree forest for cool camping in the heat of summer. Romp with your dog through the rolling meadow, meditate or play in the 35' labyrinth and - in early fall - help yourselves to blackberries and apples in the orchard. Black-tailed Columbian deer are regular visitors, while coyotes, owls, and frogs may serenade you in the evening.
We are firm believers in the value of time in the woods as a balm for physical, psychological, and emotional distress.  Seth, your host, is a certified Forest and Nature Therapy guide, and two-hour guided walks are available as an extra with your booking.At Grey Owl Hollow, we are dedicated to providing a delightful camping experience with whimsy, wonder and tranquility.

The Doyle Labyrinth - Our pride and bliss.

Dragons Gate Gardens & Wilds

Tenino, the area we are in is where the First Nations People used as the Gathering Grounds.  The Europeans when they came with their railroad chose to continue that tradition. Tenino is ground zero for the measurement of where one is on the railroad.  We fell in love with our farm with its much untouched acres to create a place where people can gather and reconnect with life's natural beauty.

We are certified organic, Salmon Safe certified, and pesticide free.  Dragons' Gate Gardens is home to many giant crystals and here their beauty works delightfully with the land.   

The area has gently rolling hills filled with wildflowers during the earlier part of the Summer. Dragons Gate Gardens and Wilds has a hundred and twenty acres to explore.

 The Skookumchuck River is a little over a mile away where you can enjoy a waterfall and walk along the river with low bank where one can get into the water. Doing so is a great favorite of our guests.

There is a giant crystal housed in a gazebo that overlooks the surrounding fields and woods. Time to meditate with the giant crystal in the gazebo can be booked with Kathleen for a fee  of $55.

We are wild and woolly. We provide a place to experience nature as it simply is. We privilege pollinators above human aesthetics.

 Wildflowers abound, including various dandelions of which many are edible and healing plants.

 We encourage converting from lawns to meadow lands being supportive of wild birds and insects. If you like it wild we are the place for you. This is not a resort or English style garden. Tall grass, wild flowers and trees fill the land around you to give you a feeling of full immersion in Nature.

Was happily greeted by a clear night, giving me a chance to take in the stars.

River had a great time bounding along in the tall grass.

Was a bit cool the night stayed, woke up to frosted grass outside my door. Was beautiful!

The acreage has multiple open fields, great for spotting wildlife in. I enjoyed watching the morning fog lift of this field the following day.

Beautiful camp areas complete with picnic tables. Some have great views of the fields.

This structure houses a 300+ pound crystal. The retreat offers crystal healing work.

Enjoying the campfire at the communal fire ring.

Nice gravel road leads you a mile from the main house down to the camp sites.

Lots of open area for River to run around in.

Healing Hearts Ranch

Healing Hearts Ranch was started to inspire hope and healing through partnership with horses. Equine Assisted Learning sessions are available by contacting your host for more information.
The ranch is 23 acres partially wooded with a nature trail and open fenced paddocks and fields. We have a herd of horses on the property and offer Equine Assisted Learning and riding lessons onsite. Tent site is in wooded area at back of property, porta potty by the barn available. Water from spigot by tent site.
Guests love it here: "What a nice surprise! I was not sure what to expect staying on a horse ranch, but it was everything I could have hoped for and more. Kristy was an awesome host and there was one other group up by the rv pad, but we hardly saw them. Dogs were very friendly and Kristy let us use a propane fire-pit to provide warmth and a fire for our tent site. The bathrooms were clean and there was some water by our site, but we did not use it.
The camp, for the tent site… we arrived and she drove us all over her property and told us to just choose where we wanted to camp. We chose to stay in back of the horse area. While we could see the house from there, we didn’t care and if you want to move back in the woods further, there are spots back there too that would provide more privacy if you need that. This is a great site and a one of a kind experience being that close to the horses."

Learning about connection in relationships from Kristy; this was so incredible.

Camp Maytown

Once the site for railway workers, lumberjacks and a private farm.

Check in is before 9:00 p.m.

Park your RV, camper, trailer.  This is basic dry / self-contained camping.  Drive thru grass field to gravel packed parking sites.  No water or bathrooms provided.  You pack it in  & you pack it out!  Close to Millersyvania State Park and 1-5.  

Millersylvania State Park is 903 acres and includes old growth, hiking and 3,300 feet of freshwater shoreline. Maytown’s closest restaurant is the Farm Boy, with hearty breakfast and great burgers/shakes. We are also close to the historic city of Tenino with a public swimming quarry and quaint downtown where many buildings were built with sandstone from Tenino.

The Maytown property itself was founded as a lumber town in 1911. Folk etymology says the name come from a first settler saying, “It May become a town, and it may not, so I’ll call it Maytown.”

For the adventurous, one can walk across the railroad tracks and go to the right to pick a beautiful nature trail thru the woods. If stay to the right you end up at the Maytown quarry in about 30-40 minutes.  Other gravel trails go for miles and lead to Millersylvania, Scott Lake, a pond and other neighborhoods.  These are unmarked trails.

Reiki Ranch RV Camping

We were teaching Reiki (energy healing classes) by going on the road to hotels and seminars, but we wanted a peaceful place with a country setting to teach these training classes. We found this beautiful place with spring water to drink and lots of forest land behind our 22 acres, and we have been here 24 years. We are into natural/alternative healthy living and energy healing. We are good stewards of the land and will happily share it with you. We have a little creek that is spring-fed and runs year-round! There are numerous hiking trails, where a person can get a quick 25-30 min exercise going up and down the mountain trails. 

This is the entrance to the Reiki Ranch from the Bunker Creek Road. We are 5 miles out of Adna and Highway 6.

Driving trail parallels Bunker Creek Rd. You drive in your vehicles down this grassy road.

This is where you will park trailers. Freshly cut grass for parking.

Trees looking back behind the house toward the field where you will pitch your tent.

Porta potty in the field, sprinkled with cedar trees
