36mi from Vashon · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Yelm, WA

Offering a lovely, personal campsite area surrounded by beautiful trees nestled in the back of a ranch with horses (and chickens) just on the outskirts of the small, charming town of Yelm. (In some of the pictures you will see the horses in the area of the camp, but whenever there are campers they will not be turned out there.) There is 20 amp electric (which can safely power a 30 amp rv unless you run too many things at once) and water (hose). There is a porta-potty and a shower shed with a tankless water heater for your convenience. We also offer the option of a small bunk room in the barn. Heated and cooled (fan) with a small "kitchen" area, it has a pull out futon which sleeps 2 and requires you supply your own bedding and towels. 1 Hour to Mt. Rainier National Park. 1 1/2 hours to Olympia National Park. 2 1/2 hours to Mt. St. Helens. 1 hour to Seattle. Close to Puget Sound and loads of nature spots. Local hiking and fishing aplenty. Our property is surrounded by nature, yet only a 5 minute drive into town where you will find charming shops, restaurants, cafes and coffee houses. There is also a fabulous movie theater. And only 15 minutes to the Red Wind Casino. There is a railroad track next to the property, but it is only used on Tues. and Thurs. between 10 am and 1 pm when a short train passes by and then returns. Rarely, it may have an additional passing but not often and it has never run after dark or early morning. (It is a military train so pretty punctual). (Also, as we are only a 5 acre property, we are close enough to roads that you may hear some traffic. They are county roads though and not highly traveled for the most part.) **Trigger Warnings: We are near the military base of JBLM and so you will occasionally hear their military doings. Country neighbors occasionally do some target practice, so you may hear some shooting. As we are a horse property, we will also require that everyone sign a release of liability waiver and will require all adults to show legal ID upon arrival. * We require a completed profile with a picture before we accept a booking.

🌲 Camp Vixen 🏕️ Tucked deep in the whispering pines of the Pacific Northwest, this forgotten lumberjack camp hasn’t heard the ripping of bandsaws in decades—but something else still stirs in the woods... Welcome to Camp Vixen, a primitive campground nestled among moss-covered stumps, ancient logging trails, and a fire pit that seems to re-light with every campfire tale. Guests say the forest feels alive here—some even swear they’ve heard low grunts in the night or seen massive footprints near the creek come morning. Set up your tent in the shadow of towering old-growth trees, where fog drifts in like a ghost at dawn and the hoot of an owl might just be answered by something bigger. No electricity, no cell signal, just crackling campfires, starry skies, and the distant sound of... was that a tree knock? Perfect for cryptid hunters, stargazers, and anyone who wants to unplug and maybe meet the forest’s most elusive resident. BYO marshmallows—and maybe a trail cam.

1 night at Wildbrook, a Travelers Reprieve

Finally venturing out to the PNW for the first time ever, alongside my partner, was months in the making with large hopes riding on it, and Paul couldn’t have been a more perfect way to kick off the adventure. Especially for Twin Peaks cultists such as myself, his ranch is perfectly nestled within North Bend, but with the seclusion from town needed to feel like you’re truly out in the woods; and more importantly, Paul displayed nothing short of a welcoming, affable energy that every well-intended traveler deserves, but might not always get. It was easy to tell how he genuinely wanted to get to know us and introduce us around his ranch which (at the time of writing) largely tenders to old horses looking to ride out their days in bliss (sup Mr. Big!), shy donkeys, and the cutest pack of little goats imaginable. I mean it when I say his welcoming spirit is the stuff of a feel-good story. The campsite itself might be in its humble early days of the amazing vision Paul has for it, but I absolutely can’t recommend enough to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient spot in North Bend to catch a good nights sleep and play a part in the work of love that Paul’s got going on!

You can see the back of the barn from this spot.

We had a wonderful experience staying at Traci and Khris's property. All the communications after we made the reservation were clear and directions and instructions simple. Traci was there to check us in and help get set up. The property is beautiful and quiet with horses and chickens nearby. We stayed there in our travel trailer while doing a kitchen remodel nearby but look forward to going back when we can relax under the beautiful trees around the firepit! Definitely recommend!!

Don’t let the bargain price fool you; Amenities include showers, bathrooms, a communal kitchen & communal fire pit. Charming Plains Indian/Pioneer motif throughout. I especially enjoyed the “Ghost Buffalo” mural on the loft of the hangout barn. Judy is working hard to install accessible paths through the property’s forested trails, so if you care about inclusivity this is a golden opportunity to support her vision.

Thank you Miss Judy for opening your property to Hipcampers. Don’t let the bargain price fool you; This property includes amenities like showers, bathrooms, communal kitchen & fire pit. Charming Plains Indian/Pioneer motif throughout. I especially enjoyed the Ghost Buffalo mural in the barn hangout loft. Judy is working hard to create “freedom paths” to increase accessibility through her forested trail system; So if you care about folks with disabilities this is a golden opportunity to support her vision and have a good time yourself, too.

Weekend Trip to Rockin’ Z Ranch

What a hidden gem! This campground is incredibly relaxing and spacious - the perfect escape from the noise of everyday life. Each site feels private and peaceful, surrounded by nature and plenty of room to spread out. The walking trails are absolutely beautiful, winding through lush, old-growth forests that feel almost magical. You can hear the birds, smell the fresh pine, and completely unwind. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves quiet camping and stunning natural scenery.

Weekend Trip to Hawthorn Farm

This is a truly pristine forest setting for your camping. This is exactly what we were looking for and strangely in this area there are practically no sites with lush forest like this. On top of that, Alexia was fantastic host to show us everything and made us feel welcome.There’s even a farm where you can go visit the animals and just experience a peaceful way of life. Can’t recommend this place enough and we will return for our annual night out of camping again next year.

It was nice to walk the farm and the woods too! Thank you Alexia for sharing your farm and accommodating our requests and taking time to visit with us and explain a bit of how you all work the farm. Our family enjoyed the fire and all the cool structures-the big giant chair for certain!

1 night at Cedar+Fern

What a beautiful campsite! I stayed here with my girlfriend and our pup for a single, rainy night. There was plenty of flat space for our 22-foot van and a large space that was "our own," which included a fire pit and table. The forested area in the back had a path that led to a creek, which, combined with the rain, created an amazing ambience. On the way out in the morning, we picked up some apple cider from the small "shop" at the entrance. It was delicious! Although I think it will be many years before I'm back in the area, I'll certainly be looking to stay here again when I am.

12 nights at Rockin’ Z Ranch

We spent 12 nights here in September and absolutely loved it! We used it as a base camp while visiting family in Seattle. Their horse trail connects to a wonderful public trail system. The campground is scenic, secure, quiet, and private. We definitely plan to camp here again with our 26’ travel trailer. HELPFUL TIPS: 1) There is a dump station only 5 miles away at Carnation Storage Center for $9.00. 2) The entrance road to Rockin Z drops a very steep 10 degrees off of Hwy 202…out of an abundance of caution, I’d recommend disconnecting your weight distribution/load bars before arrival and departure to eliminate the remote chance of folding your A-frame (an event that wouldn’t be covered by your frame warranty.)

Great country location close to Redmond and Issaquah. The site was level and had ample space for our truck and trailer. I would stay here again.

So charming! Camp site was gorgeous, trees were so tall, and we listened to owls all night long 💗 Farm was adorable and my kiddo had so much fun helping feed the animals! Host was so kind and accommodating, I could not recommend this place more! Keep in mind there is a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the camp site.

We had such an excellent experience! Seth is a wonderful host - super accommodating, helpful, and just has a lovely vibe. The farm is interesting and spacious and a close walk to Finn River. If you’re looking for a unique and reasonably priced place to stay, this is well worth consideration.

Weekend Trip to The PNW Landing (Monroe)

Beautiful spot! We had the whole thing to ourselves, but there could have been many more campers as the sites are spread out all around the perimeter of the field, with lots of cozy nooks to set up camp in.
