The best cave camping near Warm Beach

·

Situated on Port Susan on Washington's northern coast and just outside of Stanwood, Warm Beach is a small community with a tiny sand beach and a grocery store. It's home to Lake Martha, one of the deepest lakes in Snohomish County and a good spot for fishing and swimming. The lake also has a public launch (for non-gas-powered boats). The smaller Lake Howard is just south of Lake Martha and also allows non-gas-powered boats and fishing, while  Kayak Point Regional County Park—just south of town—offers camping, disc golf, and fishing.

Camp Keyser is a wooded 5 acre parcel in the mountains, near mountain loop highway - in the center of everything wonderful in the northern cascade mountains. We have one private cabin and 6 campsites. Tent campers will enjoy the lush landscape of a mature forest with sites along the (seasonal) Thirsty Creek. Nearby (3 minute walk), users can contemplate views of Whitehorse Mountain, Jumbo Mountain, Glacier Peak, and Whitechuck Mountain. This part of the Stillaguamish valley and the adjacent Mountain Loop Highway is known for a great selection of hiking trails, at all skill levels. It is perfect hub for all of your outdoor interests. The trailhead for the summit of Whitehorse Mountain is just a mile away, as is Old Mine Road trail (45 minute hike ending in 2 waterfalls). A 15-20 minute walk takes campers to a swimming hole in the cool Stillaguamish river for a dip or a paddle. Even closer is Whitehorse Regional Trail (great for biking, walking and horseback riding) built on the bed of the former BNSF railroad through the North Stillaguamish River Valley, spanning over 27 miles. The nearly level trail meanders through the valley, rewarding visitors with picturesque, landscape views of forests, farmland, streams and rivers, and mountain vistas. Sites have a generous fire pit and access to a Porta-Potty. For bathing I recommend cool dip in the Stillaguamish River. In season there is also fishing, snowshoeing, concerts at the blue grass festival grounds, a rodeo, and so much more.

Our family has lived and worked this farm since 1912. Originally the fields were used to grow peas (1940's), dairy (1950-1960's), black angus (1970-1980's), hogs & dairy replacement heifers (1990's), fresh culinary herbs for the grocery stores (last 20 years). Every year the location you are camping on floods and holds at least 3 feet of water, hence we only offer seasonal camping. The property has held events from town picnics in the 1930's, hoedowns in the 70's and a traveling circus in the 1980's. It is perfectly located 1 minute to Duvall and 25 minutes to Redmond. Learn more about this land: This 4th generation grass valley floor at sea level includes views of Mt. Baker & Rainer. Surrounded by retired culinary herb fields and planted cow corn to the west. Summer includes herds of heifers ranging the north. Your spot is minutes to amenities in "Old" town Duvall and swimming holes on the Snoqualmie River.  There are many culvert crossings between #4 & #5 for a fun walk around and a tall grass path near #1 & #2 to get lost in.

The best cave camping near Warm Beach guide

Where to go

Whidbey Island

Situated between the Olympic Peninsula and I-5, this large island is a popular getaway for urban Washingtonians, particularly in summer. Popular activities on the island include hiking, cycling, clamming, crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and of course, camping.

The Tulalip Reservation

Just south of Warm Beach, the Tulalip Reservation offers a mix of beaches and woods, with a few campgrounds for good measure. It's also home to a few of the region's smaller, off-the-beaten path lakes, including Weallup Lake and John Sam Lake.

The Olympic Peninsula

This pretty stretch of forested land is home to cute coastal towns and mile upon mile of lush forest. Don’t miss the Hoh Rainforest, inside the Olympic National Forest.

When to go

The best time to camp in and around Warm Beach is from June through September, when there's a relatively low chance of rain (by Pacific Northwest standards) and warm weather. July and August are pleasant, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s, but these are also the most crowded months, as kids are out of school in the area. If you’re in town for the holidays, the Warm Beach Camp & Conference Center hosts an annual drive-through lights display.
