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. About the campground: The campground is located in the far northeast corner of the property on the edge of the forest and meadow. In the common areas you will find the porta potty, shower and sink. 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!

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!

Quilcene, WA · 5 sites · Tents, Lodging

Welcome to Tranquil Acres. We have transformed our five acres in the “Pearl of the Peninsula” for the world to be your oyster during your stay with us. The Big Quilcene river is a water wonderland with private riverside access available to all campers just a short easy walk from each campsite. Here is where you can enjoy the cooling relief from the Summer heat, bask in the sun on cool Spring days, listen to the soothing sounds of the water and wildlife, interact with fellow campers, as well as fishing for Coho salmon in the Fall for a full meal deal experience. (Fishing license required). The river access “Common Area” is for all campers to enjoy with plenty of space to also have some alone time. If you are a more adventurous camper, Tranquil Acres is perfectly located to be your “home base” for extended stays, allowing you to explore the many wonders that the Olympic Peninsula has to offer as easy day trips. We are happy to answer any questions and share some of our favorite hikes, lakes, restaurants, and historical areas we have loved over these many years. My family has lived in this area since the early 80's and after almost a decade of renting this property and becoming a part of the amazing community of Quilcene, I had the opportunity to buy this land and “pay it forward” by creating Tranquil Acres for all to enjoy. My children that grew up here, continue to help and support this endeavor as adults. “It’s a King Thing”. Camping Etiquette: **Please read before booking** First and foremost, the road leading down to the camping area is a steep gravel drive. Going down isn’t usually a problem…it’s getting back up again. When you get to the bottom, the rest of the roadway leading to all campsites is a natural dirt road with tree root humps that isn’t designed for low clearance cars. AWD or 4WD is recommended, but please check with us before booking to see if your vehicle can have access all the way to your campsite and make it back up the hill. If not, we do have parking available at the top of the hill safely located next to our house, and transport options available to help you pack it in and pack it out without risking damage to your vehicle or the land and still enjoy a wonderful camping experience. Please inquire before booking if you have a low clearance vehicle so we can discuss your options. Please be respectful of the land. We are a “pack it in, pack it out” campground and wish to provide this space for folks to enjoy for many years to come. The Quilcene transfer station is located nearby and is open on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. (hours may differ on holidays). We do offer waste disposal as an add-on at checkout. Recycling must be separated from solid waste and contained in the bags provided and will have clear instructions of what is recyclable. Potable water is not available in the camping area. It is okay to use water from the river if you have a certified filter system (at your own risk). If you are the bold and brave that likes to bathe in cold waters, please be mindful of the eco-system and the damage that soap can do to our natural habitat. Dishwashing is not allowed in the river at any time. Like most campgrounds, our quiet time is 10pm-8am. Please be respectful to your camp neighbors at all times. Sounds carry easily in the woods. Play, explore, have fun, and stay awake to enjoy your space for as long as you want, just be mindful to use “camping voice” after 10pm. Communication is encouraged and appreciated! If you need anything, are having any issues with fellow campers, or just have a question… please don’t hesitate to get in touch… day or night. We love being able to share this wonderful land for folks to have a joyful camping experience in our neck of the woods with their fellow campers. Dogs are allowed at all campsites. Cats too if you have a camping cat! Please be mindful of your neighbors and that not everyone feels comfortable around dogs or may be allergic. Off leash is allowed if your dog is not aggressive with humans or other dogs. You know your dog best, and we will trust that you will use your best judgement in any circumstance while you are staying with us. If there is an issue in this regard, we will ask you to keep your dog leashed at all times, or under extreme circumstances may be forced to ask you to leave. We would rather not do either of those things, so please be aware of where your pet is at all times. Everyone loves a campfire! No one loves a wildfire. The lushness of the Olympic National Forest can be deceiving. Wildfires do still happen here and we expect you to extinguish your fire if no one is at the campsite, before going to sleep, and prior to departure. Firewood is provided as an add-on at checkout and will be at your site when you arrive, or you are also welcomed to bring your own. You will need to provide your own paper and flame to get your campfire going. There are many small sticks and twigs around every site to use as kindling, but please don’t use any wood you find on the land that won’t entirely fit inside of the rock ring. This is dangerous because wood holds heat and can continue to burn and ignite leaves, sticks and twigs outside of the firepit. If it is windy at any point during your stay, we respectfully request that you don’t have a fire while the winds are blowing. You can see if there is a recreational fire burn ban prior to arrival by visiting www.orcaa.org or send us a message. It is rare that recreational fires are banned in this area, but it does happen on occasion. Burning any kind of garbage in your campfire is not allowed at any time. Doing so means it is no longer a recreational fire and could permanently stop us from allowing campers to stay here. We offer a variety of add-on features that can turn your camping adventure into a glamping experience. Need a tent? No problem, we will even set it up for you and take it down. Don’t have a stove to cook with? We have that too. When we say: “It’s a King Thing”… it means we intend to provide you with an experience that leaves you feeling like Royalty. Thank you for taking the time to consider us for your camping adventures. We are thrilled and grateful to share our Tranquil Acres with you and look forward to seeing you soon! Add-on descriptions (Updated) Essentials: Toilet Available: 2 composting toilets are conveniently located for all campers and cleaned daily.

PADDLING: Quilcene Bay, Lake Leland as well as other options just a short drive away. WILDLIFE WATCHING: We have deer that wander through the campground from time to time and in the mid-late summer it is a real treat to see their fawns. There is a fun assortment of birds, owls and even herons and hawks that can be spotted while hanging out at the river in our common area. If you are lucky, you can even spot a bald eagle passing by. Grey whales and Orca whales migrate north in the late Spring and Summer and there are whale watching tours available in Sequim and Port Angeles. There is also the Olympic Game Farm Park in Sequim that is a drive through wildlife preserve that is a lot of fun for the whole family just 45mins away.

FOREST: We are located on the eastern side of the Olympic National Forest, and there is a Ranger Station just a couple minutes away. The rainforest eco system of this area is truly an adventure worth exploring, and our Tranquil Acres has all the native trees and plants of this unique region that makes it feel like you are living in the heart of a rainforest…but with less rain, and slightly warmer temperatures than the central and western side of the Olympic rainforest in the summer. LAKES: Lake Leland Lake and Crocker Lake are the nearest most accessible lakes in the area. There are many others, please feel free to ask about any lakes you find in the area and I can let you know if it is suitable for what you are wanting from a lake experience. RIVER, STREAM OR CREEK: Tranquil Acres is located on the Big Quilcene River. It’s beautiful and most of the time secluded (except during salmon season in September when there are fisherfolks that have public access to the river itself). There are many other rivers in the general area, but none quite as awesome as our little stretch of the Big Quilcene. SWIMMING HOLE: Yes, various options at different times of the year…and It’s COLD! Bring a float device for a gentler experience in the hot summer sun or have a bold and brave Polar Plunge regardless of what month it is. (AT YOUR OWN RISK, please be mindful of how strong the river current is at different times of the year and do not let young children into the main current without a life jacket or without adult supervision. Highly recommended to wear water shoes at all times/all ages.) The Big Quilcene is a River that anyone could slip and fall on the rocks regardless of age and how low the water is. WATERFALL: The Falls View loop trail just a few miles south of Quilcene is an easy 1 mile hike that has a spectacular view of the large waterfall that flows into the Big Quilcene River. I am happy to talk with you and answer any questions you may have about local adventures in the area. MOUNTAINOUS: Mt. Olympus reigns supreme over them all, but the Olympic Mountain Range has 9 other distinct Mountain peaks, and there are a variety of ways to experience this unique mountain range…just ask me how, I am happy to share the variety of ways to enjoy the Olympic Peninsula. FARMS: We have multiple organic farms in the area where you can purchase seasonal fruits and vegetables. There are also many community activities at various times of the year to get to know this little Pearl of the Peninsula.

Snohomish, WA · 1 site

Lawnacres is a 20 acre farm that focuses on enhancing wellbeing through the presence of horses and nature. The Bunky itself is a converted horse stall in one of the barns on the property. The glamping space is approximately 10x12, with a queen size log bed and wide rustic cedar plank flooring. The “stall” to the north houses an outdoor shower and sauna. It’s about a 30 foot walk to the outhouse. Guests are free to amble about the acreage, which has a stream, a wooded path and some wide open meadow. Need some quiet time to get to that writing/art/journaling project you’ve been dreaming about? We have a 20x20 outdoor platform that’s ideal for your yoga/meditation practice. Give yourself the gift of your own personal retreat. We’re located about 40 minutes northeast of downtown Seattle, 15 minutes from Woodinville. It’s a perfect escape from urban life with just a short drive. The horses are available for pets and scratches, but not riding or feeding. Because we have horses, chickens and dogs (as well as visiting deer and coyotes) we don’t allow guests to bring their own animals. The site has a queen sized bed and no extra room. We have a strict 2 guest limit.

Cole's Cabin on Anderson Island

Anderson Island, WA · 1 site

Cute little wood cabin on a large, quiet lot, with covered porch looking out towards the water near the end of Cole's Point. Gravity fed fresh water at the sink on the porch. Inside, includes couch, queen bed, twin bed, fridge with chilled water, freezer, microwave. Nicely heated in winter and stays cool in summer. Sitting in comfy camp chairs on the covered porch can be magical during a spring rain. Outhouse with nightlight and composting toilet. Firepit with kindling and firewood in winter. (Summer fires are not allowed.) Short walk to the beach to the north. Short walk south to the edge of the Oro Bay as well. Kayaks can be rented on island. (Not related to the host.) Multiple hikes / walks within Jacob's Point, Andy's Marine Park, and 7 other parks on island. One wonderful little grocery store on island for fresh or incidental items along with one cafe, and one restaurant. The historic Johnson Farm and Museum can be a great place to sample island life from 100+ years ago. Pay extra for use of the twin electric bikes to ride the many quiet, scenic roads around the island. These roads can take you to the hikes, the store, cafe, or sample the sights like the 1928 ferry "Ocean City" slowly sinking into the mud in Oro Bay. There is often deer, hawks, eagles, coyotes, bunnies, and sometimes humpback or orca whales, all within sight of the cabin. It's a great place to escape the hectic pace of the city and enjoy the solitude interrupted only by the sound of the birds, and perhaps the distant trains about 3 miles away. Writer looking for a spot to focus on your next book? Reader wanting to finish a good book? Both are a perfect fit. Dogs are welcome but cannot run free due to the native animals that call the area home. The ferry is a 1 hour walk so cars are recommended. The Steilacoom ferry to Anderson Island leaves from the wonderful historic town of Steilacoom which is also well worth visiting. There is no smoking of any kind in the cabin or on the property. Want to add boating to your visit, reach out to South Sound Sailing Tours / Capt. Corey (360) 489-7476, CaptainCorey76@gmail.com .

**Important Reminder: A 4WD or AWD vehicle is required to safely access this property. Please ensure your vehicle meets this requirement before your arrival, as access may be difficult or impossible with a 2WD vehicle.** This property is supposedly one of the first homesteads in Jordan Road. This information is based on stories from some old timers my husband had spoken to in the past when he bought this property in 2002. The owner back in the old days sold off parcels and parcels of lands back then. The property is all fenced in, a place where your fur buddy can run free so you don't have to worry of the baby getting lost! Hopefully you'll get a visit from a deer and hear the hooting of the owl. :) The surroundings are peaceful and private, you will enjoy exploring the trails all around the 9 acres out of 12 we are sharing. Stroll down the hill to listen to the sounds of the creek and fish ladder. Booking the cabins.. fyi.. they're off grid - NO electricity, you Bring your Water, but I provide some lanterns for lighting. Our campground cabins are about 4.9 miles from the 'Granite Falls Fish Ladder'. Visit this beauty at Mountain Loop Highway if you fancy a little hike. Drive around 7 miles to the 'Lime Kiln Trailhead. The trail is full of amazing views and history. Our place is only about 45 minutes from Seattle. Why not pack your tent and sleeping bags then drive here after work, then leave in the morning. Leave your worries behind.. enjoy nature.

1 night at Simple Roots Ranch

Absolutely beautiful property spread across over four acres, with swings, private forest trails, a gorgeous garden, and a cozy, secluded campfire area! My boyfriend and I booked the Potting Shed at the very last minute, but we were still welcomed with the most amazing hospitality. The campfire was already started for us when we arrived, and they had everything we needed to make s’mores! In the morning, we were treated to freshly baked blackberry muffins, fig jam, and fig leaf tea (all grown from their garden!) and received tons of great recommendations for exploring the town. Every little detail made our stay feel so special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. We would absolutely love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Grace E.’s Mini Forest Cabins

My group had an amazing time at Grace's cabins! She was communicative, and provided many small amenities that we appreciated (hand sanitizer, paper towels, plenty of trash cans). The property itself is beautiful, and the cabins are clean and very well kept. Our dogs also had an amazing time. Thank you Grace!

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 :)

2 nights at Grace E.’s Mini Forest Cabins

We stayed for 2 nights at cabin #3 with our 2 dogs. Words cannot describe what a wonderful time we had, we enjoyed the stay so much, and the dogs loved it! Communication was prompt , the cabin, outhouse and grounds so clean. It was very private, it felt like this was our little cabin in the woods! The mornings were chilly so we put on the gas fireplace and the cabin heated up very quickly. We have stayed here a few times now, and are already looking forward to the next time.

Weekend Trip to Rosebud Equestrian

Nice place! Our kids loved the horses in the morning and absolutely beautiful location! The yurt is a little difficult to find if you arrive in the dark. You park near the stables but it is down a little road past the roofed arena and then to the left. Maybe 1/8 mile total from parking. The horses were a little loud at night, but our toddlers slept soundly through it. Would stay again for the price and location!

Weekend Trip to Elfendahl Forest

Such a wonderful experience. This is a must do with kids. We brought our daughter with her best friend and glad we did, they had a blast. Gary was an amazing host &made us feel welcome.

The Magical school bus is an adventure you won't forget! Set on 20 acers of wooded forest. We have created a whimsical wonderland like no other. We think you'll fall in love with what we have created like so many other guests have. Our bus comes equipped with it's own kitchenette with cooking oils, spices, cook and serving wear, a very comfortable queen size bed plus much more, set in your own part of the forest.

Weekend Trip to Elfendahl Forest

Elfendahl forest was a magical, lovely, easy getaway from Seattle. The Wanderbus was well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub was a definite plus! Gary maintains the property so it is clean and has all the amenities you need. It’s hard to believe it is completely off-grid. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique “glammping” experience.

1 night at Secluded Forest Yurt

This site was easy to get to using the ferry, and was only about 15 minutes away from the terminal. The yurt was tucked into the woods, a few minutes walk from the main house, and felt totally secluded once we were there. Everything was clean, pleasant, and comfortable. Tea and coffee were well stocked, and the candles made the off grid site super romantic. Depending on your cellular provider, you might not have service while there. The toilet was a little finicky, but there’s a clean outhouse behind the yurt and Virginia was super responsive. I plan to come back again!
