You don't want to miss this truly unique location! Our 3 campsitesites sit just up the hill (0.4 miles) from US 101 and the beautiful shores of the Hood Canal, with semi-obstructed views of the water. I own and run Lilliwaup Oyster Farm just down the hill and across the 101 - you'll pass the workshop and processing building on your drive up to the sites.
YES! We offer oysters to purchase, seasonally (September - June) and if you're feeling adventurous, take advantage of farm tour on the beach and harvest your own oysters straight from the farm to eat raw or grill up back at your campsite! *Please note - oyster farm tours require 1 week advance notice - let us know when you book if you're interested.*
Campsites are located on a secluded hilltop just a half mile from the waterfront, surrounded by old growth trees, wildflowers, and the serene soundscape of the rushing creek straight from the the Olympic Mountains. Come rest and reconnect with yourself, your crew, and the elements.

Coffee Creek is an intentional community and working farm on the north side of Centralia, Washington. While our 11 acres feels very secluded, we are just 3 miles from historic downtown and 10 minutes from the freeway and shopping. An accessible oasis!
There is a park with swimming, fishing and hiking along the Skookumchuck river within a mile of the farm, in addition to the natural beauty found right here at home. We enjoy bird watching, exploring our forest, and relaxing around a fire when we aren't working on the farm.
Seasonal Strawberries and pastured poultry are our specialties, and we offer a wide variety of veggies and fruits. Farm fresh eggs are almost always available and we have organic meats to purchase and grill.

Private off-grid small cabin and tent site with views of the water and mountains. The cabin can sleep up to four.
Nestled in a grove of gnarled, moss-draped maples and cedars, our humble cabin overlooks a quiet saltwater bay. Its location offers the perfect blend of forest solitude and coastal serenity. Inside the cabin, you’ll find a toasty wood stove, a queen bed, and large bay windows where you can watch the water shimmer with the ebb and flow of the tides or see the sunset paint the sky, reflecting off the glassy surface of the bay.
The only sounds are the cry of an eagle, the gentle lapping of the water, and the soft rustle of wind through the surrounding woods. A large deck attached to the cabin creates an idyllic retreat that feels suspended in time.
Located near Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, just five minutes from the town of Quilcene.

This was our second trip to Camp Birdwatch, first time in the winter - Don let us know due to the flooding there would be less area to walk around. It was still very beautiful and filled with wildlife for us to watch! A very peaceful and enjoyable stay as expected - thanks again Don!

We had a wonderful overnight stay at Jim's Hood Canal Oyster Farm. We originally booked site #2 but Jim contacted us prior to our arrival and invited us to stay at site #1 which became available. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. All three sites are very well kept, peaceful, and private. The hookups worked perfectly, and our 21' class C RV had no issues with the short steep climb to the site. Site #1 is the largest and we loved the herb garden and table. I did notice that site #3 is more private and would have fit our RV with no issues. We hope to be back soon. We can't thank Jim enough for the absolutely delicious oysters from his farm.

This was our second time at this campsite in Lilliwaup! The location is great, it was quiet, the campsite & porta-potty were clean, and Jim was a great host. Since it was a wet weekend, he brought dry kindling to our site and made sure we were all set for the evening. We'll be back again!

Mary and Lloyd truly have such a wonderful property and were incredible hosts! The stay was cozy, beautiful and most importantly dreamy. This was the perfect locations for an engagement trip for my fiancé and I. The views and the incredible outdoor tub was the icing on top. We will absolutely be back again to enjoy this magical location.

Our stay was even more magical than we could have imagined. The drive up felt like we were in Jurassic park (in the best way possible) and the views were insane. The cabin was cozy (heater included!) and the toilet and bath were extremely clean. Mary and Lloyd thought of all the details from a cute handwashing station to bath amenities (towels, soap, bath salts). We loved getting to know them and their sweet pup Leo. Thank you for the great stay! When we come back to the PNW we will definitely look to rebook.

Site #3 was perfect for our first time camping using our sleeping platform in the back of our Forester with a Kelty caboose. There was plenty of space! There was a big wooden spool we could use as a table. Although we didn’t tent camp in the additional open clearing, we did sit there to enjoy our coffee the next morning. It was very quiet except for the chipping of birds and sound of a nearby stream. The porta potty was very clean! Jim was very responsive. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Ridgeline Retreat
Its like a scavenger hunt to make it to the cabin which was so much fun! The road was very passable for our low-profile sedan. The property and view is absolutely stunning!
The tiny cabin felt plenty roomy and the decor was quaint and the bed was so comfy. We thoroughly enjoyed a glass of wine and the sunset on the AMAZING cliff's-edge patio before taking a nice log soak next to the most beautiful view you'll ever see! Its like a dream. A bucket-list experience, for sure! We woke up to a rain and lightning storm rolling through and it was great laying in bed and watching it through the glass door.
The hosts, Mary and Lloyd, were beyond kind helpful and hospitable. They even brought us coffee and homemade muffins in the morning!
The outhouse was clean amd smelled great. Everything seems brand new. The park was so close but we wish we had more time just to enjoy the cabin, bathtub, and landscape. We even asked about coming back the next weekend but they were booked. Multiple friends have asked us where the cabin is and how to book; the pics are that amazing!
Please love and respect this place. Its so special and even as it blows up in popularity, I hope it stays the slice of absolute heaven it is now🩷

This place is fantastic and I couldn’t recommend the experience enough! The quiet and seclusion make it a perfect place to relax and getaway. The location is close to the national park for good days hiking, and far enough where you can easily get away from all the crowds and end the day soaking in a sunset view with perfect outdoor secluded bath. In addition to all that, the hosts are the nicest and most hospitable people ever. Great location, great property, and great people!

Mary and Lloyd (and their dog Leo 🐶) were such welcoming hosts! Their property was spectacular and the set up allows for the most gorgeous views from the deck of the tiny house and bath house. The bed is very comfortable and everything was clean and very well maintained. They have WiFi, power, outdoor path lighting, and a selection of hiking guidebooks for visitors. If you’re going to stay here, be sure to make time to enjoy the tub at sunset or under the starry sky. It’s quite an experience!
The road up the mountain is well maintained, but steep. It could be a challenge if it’s wet, but we had no trouble with our rented camper van.
We will definitely stay here again if we ever end up in the area!
