Arlington, WA · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Nestled near Arlington, our 75-acre property spans both new and old forest, featuring a salmon-filled creek and a large beaver pond—all set against the dramatic backdrop of a 1,200-foot sheer rocky cliff crowned with old-growth trees. Since its purchase in 1958 as a family retreat, this land has grown into much more than a getaway. It has become a place for relaxation, adventure, and connection with nature—a private forest for family and friends to enjoy. Over the years, the family has adopted forest stewardship and sustainable timber harvesting practices, while also developing campsites, trails, hosting rock concerts, and even producing wine. What began as a simple escape has evolved into something extraordinary: a tree farm that successfully balances nearly every goal a forest landowner could imagine—timber production, wildlife habitat, natural beauty, recreation, and forest resilience. Valhalla embodies all of this with harmony. We think you will feel the unusual vibe.

The property is situated on the very south end of Henderson Inlet. We are on the tide flats so twice a day (at high tide) we have the opportunity to explore on the water in canoes and kayaks. The property is spread over 16 acres and is comprised of two large fields (one in front of our home and the other is a smaller meadow off to the side (hidden meadow) and forest land. There is tons of space for playing, exploring and tiring out your kids and pups!
Wildlife is abound with eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, shore birds and a variety of forest birds make this place their home. We are also frequented by the local deer who wonder through and say hi.

There is also a supply closet that has the yard games and extra supplies. There is a hot tub situated right on the edge of the forest with peek-a-boo views of the inlet. You will also find garbage and recycling bins.
There are trails throughout the forest along the 600 feet of water (tide) front. Along the trails you will find several different benches, seats and swings to relax and enjoy nature from. There are also fairies and gnomes who have been sighted in the forest. If you look closely, you might spot one too! We ware, if you touch a fairy or gnome they do lose their magical powers so please respect the mystical creatures. 😊
The sites are about 500 feet from our house and offer great privacy. You may see us throughout the day and evening coming and going from the campground, working on the property or playing with the kids on the trails!

Property nestled above the Dosewallips River with tremendous views of Mt. Jupiter Ridge and the Dosewallips River. You will find numerous hikes in the Olympic National Forest within a short drive, a gorgeous waterfall and swimming hole within 5 minutes, parks, Whitney Garden & Nursery, boat launches, crabbing, clamming & oyster digging, wildlife watching, enjoying the Hood Canal, and much more! Or, just sit back and relax in tranquility, as the property sits at the end of a cul de sac just before entering national forest land. Be sure to leash your pets and keep a good eye, as there are wildcats, coyotes, and bears in the area.
Learn more about this land:
Pull your RV or trailer onto this lot and take in the beautiful southwestern view of Mt. Jupiter ridge and a peek-a-boo view of the Dosewallips River! Listen closely, and you will hear the sounds of the river below. The lot is equipped with power and water hookups! Please be aware the water hookup is near the main gate entrance and the power is about 40 feet apart, so you may need a long hose (see pic). Enjoy the view from the large deck, firepit, or picnic table overlooking the river, valley, and mountains. This lot is truly a little slice of heaven!
Within a few minutes, find yourself at Rocky Brook falls (see pics) for a spectacular view and even a swim if you so please! Pleasant Harbor Marina (also shown in pics) also within 10 minutes! You will also find many hiking trails and parks nearby! There is weak cell service on the lot, so you may or may not be able to connect. I get 1-2 bars with Sprint.
While this property is not very far off the Dosewallips road (35 mph), it is generally very quiet and peaceful. You may hear cars and motorcycles from time to time, but very faintly. The lot is at about 350 ft. elevation, so you may get noise traveling up the valley from the residential community below (to which I belong), such as dogs, people using chainsaws, etc. There is hunting allowed in the national forest, so you could potentially hear guns in the distance during the day, but that is rare.
There are a few close neighbors, so please be respectful and quiet, especially in the evening. Please bring your own firewood when campfires are allowed and please do not forage for firewood on or around the property. Lastly, while the sightings have been few and rare, the neighbors have seen bears, cougars, coyotes, and bobcats near their homes and this property. So keep an eye on your children and pets, especially if off-leash (your pet of course!) The property also slopes a bit where the deck starts, so again, keep a close eye on the kiddos. You have a very good chance of seeing the local Roosevelt Elk that travel in huge herds around Brinnon (See pics). They sometimes lay down and hang out on the grass on the property! Make sure your pets have their flea and tick updates!

Granite Falls, WA · 25 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Welcome to our little slice of the Pacific Northwest! Nestled on 30 acres of lush rainforest, our property is a place we’ve fallen deeply in love with, and we’re excited to begin sharing it with others who appreciate nature as much as we do.
A beautiful river winds its way through the property, creating what we think is the best swimming hole around—a perfect place to cool off on a warm summer day, relax by the water, or simply enjoy the peaceful sounds of the forest.
Our campsites are intentionally simple. This is basic tent camping designed for people who want to unplug and experience nature, not a crowded campground filled with pavement and perfectly level pads. We created each campsite by working with the land instead of against it. Rather than clearing large areas or removing healthy trees, each site follows the natural topography of the forest. Because of that, every campsite is unique in its size, shape, and character.
We’re also at the very beginning of an exciting journey. This property is a labor of love, and it’s constantly evolving. You’ll likely see us working on new projects during your stay as we continue to improve the land and add thoughtful amenities over time. Our dream is to eventually build treehouses, cabins, and other unique places to stay while preserving the natural beauty that makes this property so special.
By staying with us now, you’re becoming part of that journey. We appreciate your patience as we continue to grow, and we hope you’ll return over the years to see how this little campground evolves.
While we do offer glamping sites that are quite special, and allow people to pick up and come here without the need to bring any gear at all, if you’re looking for luxury camping, we may not be the right fit… yet, as we have great plans in the works. But if you’re looking for towering evergreens, fresh mountain air, a crystal-clear river, peaceful nights under the stars, and a place that feels wild, authentic, and full of possibility—we’d love to welcome you.
We currently offer 22 tent camping sites ranging in sizes small, medium and large, and 4 glamping sites that are all first come, first serve within each size level.
Please note that our property is currently 18+ only. Because the campground is still a developing, natural property with uneven terrain, river access, ongoing projects, and limited infrastructure, we are not set up to safely accommodate children at this time. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to expand our options in the future as the property continues to grow and evolve.
Thank you for being part of the beginning of our adventure. We can’t wait to share this special place with you.
We hope every guest leaves feeling like they’ve discovered a hidden corner of the Pacific Northwest—and can’t wait to come back to see what we’ve created next!

Arlington, WA · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Nestled near Arlington, our 75-acre property spans both new and old forest, featuring a salmon-filled creek and a large beaver pond—all set against the dramatic backdrop of a 1,200-foot sheer rocky cliff crowned with old-growth trees. Since its purchase in 1958 as a family retreat, this land has grown into much more than a getaway. It has become a place for relaxation, adventure, and connection with nature—a private forest for family and friends to enjoy. Over the years, the family has adopted forest stewardship and sustainable timber harvesting practices, while also developing campsites, trails, hosting rock concerts, and even producing wine. What began as a simple escape has evolved into something extraordinary: a tree farm that successfully balances nearly every goal a forest landowner could imagine—timber production, wildlife habitat, natural beauty, recreation, and forest resilience. Valhalla embodies all of this with harmony. We think you will feel the unusual vibe.

I have really enjoyed staying here! The hosts are a really wonderful family who work really hard to keep everything running at the site. The bathrooms and showers are very clean and their diligence to keep it so is above and beyond. They seem to be available much more than their hours suggest. They are regularly dealing with camper issues during off hours. Very kind and thoughtful people. Jefferson county fairgrounds really lucked out! And consequently so did I! Thank you Zoe and Robert!

2 nights at The Khohay Farm
This was the loveliest cabin! It had everything I needed and so much more. It was cozy, had so many thoughtful touches, quiet, clean, and beautiful! Highly recommend and can’t wait to be back. Prettiest outhouse you’ll ever come across too. Read that in someone else’s comment and didn’t know what to think till I saw it for myself. Everything about this place is thoughtfully designed and put together. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and sharing your farm and produce with me :)

Cabin was lovely as always. The host is so helpful and friendly, and the solitude and sounds of the creek flowing are magic to a city dweller’s ears.

Stayed Oct 1–4 on a Waterview RV Site (full hookup, 30-amp) in our 20-foot Sprinter. Backed right in overlooking Sequim Bay — the view alone was worth it. Everything worked exactly as promised: power, water, sewer, cable, and Wi-Fi, zero issues across three nights.
Tracy was a great host — responsive, easy check-in. Left feeling like we'd found a gem. We'd absolutely stay here again.

We had a nice stay at this marina. Our spot was picturesque, looking out over the water and distant hills, lots of shore birds, very peaceful. The hosts were knowledgeable about the area, fun, and good communicators. The amenities were great--nice heated bathrooms and showers, a laundry room with book/video library, and a few fire pits and play areas.

Nice quiet spot to kick back. Close to town. Nice to have full hookups and the bathrooms were kept pretty clean (ecxcept for the very outdated showers.) It was rainy, so we didn’t get to meet the hosts; maybe next time.

I loved staying at Jefferson Co. Fairgrounds. The camp hosts were wonderful! The bathrooms were clean and overall the campground was quiet. There were a few people leaving early in the morning so there was a little noise but very quiet and peaceful at night. Great trails nearby and close to downtown! Would definitely stay again!

Loved this adults only oasis. It's a small grounds with only a handful of spots so it's perfect for those seeking solitude and respite, situated equidistant to two mid-size towns so convenience is never far away. Group of 4 elected strawberry camp, enjoyed its privacy. It's an uphill walk to the shared firepit, be advised may feel a bit steep. We enjoyed making fajitas and smores over the campfire and watching the stars peek out over the full moon. In the morning, listening to the sounds of nature and watching eagles soar overhead was amazing. Porta potty is in very clean condition, near pristine.
These folks put a lot of care and heart into their place and it shows. This was our first go at a car camp adventure and we all enjoyed it. The hosts are warm welcomers and happy to walk you through the site. If you need recommendations for the area, please do ask them! They recommended us a fantastic place to grab lunch.
Sauna was a terrific way to end our stay, alternating between the heat and the chilly fresh air outside was invigorating.
This place is such a gem, especially for solo and couple travelers. Would stay again.

We had an exceptional experience at campsite 1 at Dave’s Last Resort. Easy pull in parking. The large and unique fire pit was great! The string of lights in the trees was a lovely feature! The beautiful river was only steps away from our RV. Wonderful trails along the river to walk and soak up the serenity. The campsite feels very remote and secluded but it is only a short drive to Hwy 101, restaurants and shopping. One of the best camping experiences we have had. Thank you Richard for sharing your beautiful river front property.

David was great on communicating and giving us good directions. The site was private, clean, and the view was splendid! We got up early to watch the sunrise with our coffee. What a treat. 🌄🌅
It was the perfect and easy one night camp before our trip down to the Oregon Coast. We will not hesitate to stay again or tell our friends about it,
Thanks to David, you've got a sweet spot!

Where to go
Greater Seattle
Washington's biggest city offers urban fun within striking distance of serious nature. Despite its urban vibes at the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass, Seattle is chock-full of wooded parks, including the 534-acre Discovery Park on the eastern banks of Puget Sound.
Island County
Named for its many islands, this county on Puget Sound encompasses nine islands in total, including sprawling Whidbey Island—at the northernmost stretch of the sound—and Camano Island. Both islands are tourist hotspots, with tons of state parks and campgrounds, many of them right on the water. Whidbey in particular is known for its thriving arts scene.
The Kitsap Peninsula and Bainbridge Island
Across Puget Sound from Seattle, the Kitsap Peninsula and Bainbridge Island offer a variety of outdoor activities, with plenty of parks, hiking trails, marinas, and campgrounds. This region is also great for lovers of the arts and history, with museums and galleries dedicated to Native cultures, naval history, and the arts.
The Olympic Peninsula
On the opposite side of Puget Sound from the Seattle metro area, the Olympic Peninsula features some of the region's best opportunities for hiking and water sports. Here you'll find lakes, ocean beaches, forests, and numerous state parks, with an abundance of forested campgrounds. Olympic National Park and its emeraldine temperate rainforests are also set on the peninsula.
