The best safari tent rentals near Snoqualmie, Washington

Just an hour from Seattle, the Snoqualmie Pass area is a world apart. As you drive up I-90, the city falls away, and the Washington wild takes over. Skiers fly down snow-covered peaks, and secluded campsites dot the forest. The breathtaking Snoqualmie River winds through it all, drawing paddlers and anglers.

Start your trip with a visit to Snoqualmie Falls, which roars over a cliff west of North Bend. RV parks near the falls are a great home base for tubing and kayaking on the river.

Further up the Snoqualmie River, sleep among the pines at Denny Creek Campground. Grab a site with a picnic table or electrical hookups; reservations are a must. If you’re in search of peace and quiet, a better option is the Middle Fork Campground. The Forest Service keeps the area clean, and the Middle Fork Trail is ideal for hiking and biking along the river.

Throughout the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, you’ll find a vast range of campsites. At Lake Easton State Park, try kid-friendly swimming and biking. Tinkham, a favorite of anglers, provides space for tent camping and RVs. For quiet hiking and fly fishing, load up your gear and camp in the backcountry.

Most local campgrounds close when the snow falls. You can still enjoy the wilderness—book a cabin or a glamping retreat. Bundle up and head into the Snoqualmie area for Nordic and downhill skiing, ice fishing, and snowshoeing.

33mi from Snoqualmie · 1 site · Lodging · Olalla, WA

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.

Weekend Trip to The Landing At Lake Ploenta

The tent camping was perfect. Set at the back of the lake, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The host was so friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend going out there to everyone.

Fern Gully is a perfect spot for group camping, off in the back of the property offered much privacy! Beautiful grounds and very serene! Many trails and the lake had many Bass, but too small this year to keep. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Olalla Flower Farm Glamping

This was the perfect first camping trip for our 3 young kiddos (ages 2-6). They absolutely loved it and did not want to leave! Jodi was a lovely host, the beds were comfy & warm and the bathroom / outdoor shower were lovely. We’d definitely stay here again.

Great space! We stayed in yurt #1 fern gully! Lovely area, fun exploring trails and was so nice to stay dry in rain - glad we weren’t tent camping! First time to use Hipcamp - have always camped at state parks in past. Highly recommend!

We loved the big tent, comfy beds, and especially the outdoor hot-water shower! The host, Jodie, was very friendly. And Olalla is super cute. Recommend visiting Olalla Bay Market down the street.

Weekend Trip to The Landing At Lake Ploenta

Really lovely spot! Cozy setup, good directions, great communication from the host when I had questions. So nice to have a real bed while camping! If you’re a light sleeper, there’s a rooster and dogs nearby and the bullfrogs get some good volume too! 😆 We played white noise on my phone to help but there is no electricity at the site so you’ll want to bring a portable charger of some sort if you need it. Excellent stay overall! Loved paddling around the little pond!

Great place to go glamping with a group of friends . Close to town, good amenities, good hike, waterfront and great hosts. Highly recommend going in with a group because the two tent sites are fairly close to each other . We went with family and friends and had a blast.

Weekend Trip to Olalla Flower Farm Glamping

Our family loved camping here! It was our first time camping with kiddos and the amenities made it so much easier. Comfy warm beds, hot shower, and composting toilet made camp life a breeze. Jodi and Aaron were the sweetest hosts, offering recommendations for 4th of July fireworks viewing and restaurants. Would absolutely recommend this spot - it was an easy commute from Seattle on the Southworth Ferry.

The glamping tent was well maintained and had a comfy bed and great access to the pond, toilet, and hiking trail on property. I loved the big picnic table and campfire for cooking, and had an easy time finding the spot. Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to The Landing At Lake Ploenta

We stayed overnight at this glamping site booked through Hipcamp, and it was the perfect escape. The roomy structured tent on a raised platform was cozy and comfortable, with thoughtful amenities like a portable restroom (complete with sink and lighting), a grill, fireplace, and even firewood provided. The lake is less than 50 feet from the tent and full of fish — a great bonus for relaxing or casting a line. It’s just 20 minutes outside of town, pet-friendly, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming. Highly recommend for a peaceful couples getaway ✨️

Was my first time glamping. Girlfriend and I found this spot and loved it! Tent was clean and cozy. Made for an extra special time with all the rain that weekend. Used it as a home base to explore the surrounding areas. Would totally recommend to a friend and stay there again!

1 night at The Landing At Lake Ploenta

We had a really wonderful stay here! The tent, linens, and bed were all very comfortable and clean. The site is at a corner of the property that feels private and quiet, plus it's right next to one of the trails. It was lovely walking the property and through the well marked trails in the woods, and the host was so friendly when we crossed paths. We definitely want to come back!

Weekend Trip to Olalla Flower Farm Glamping

Everything was better than we could have imagined. Space was beautiful, location was easy to get to, and convenient to Olalla market, the park, beds were comfy. Super nice outdoor hot water shower, games for entertaining and a great fire pit (bring wood). Jodi and Aaron were fabulous hosts and we left with a vehicle full of beautiful flowers. Also, the doggies Norman and Bruce brought us much joy when we got a chance to visit them. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet night away.

Weekend Trip to Olalla Flower Farm Glamping

We had such a lovely time, even with less than ideal weather! The beds were very comfortable (probably the most comfortable beds we’ve had ant ANY accommodation) and sufficiently warm. The tent was super spacious and it was nice to have a little seating area inside where it was dry. Jodi was very willing to answer ALL of our questions so we felt sufficiently prepared. It is clear that this property is well loved and the hosts take pride in providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay for their guests.
