For the first few days of our family camping trip we were staying at one of Whidbey's state parks. Unfortunately, due to the long weekend, we were not able to secure a campsite for the last few days. So we changed to a HipCamp spot, staying in site number 3.
The site was very private; we did not hear other campers at all, and only briefly spoke with them while returning from the porta potty. Getting into the campsite was easy, although we did have to deal with a few wayward branches that were extending into the access lane. Trees surrounded the tent site, making it very shady and cool during the day.
Those were the positives. On the downside, we must have arrived on a training day for the local naval airbase. While setting up the tents it was a series of planes taking off, one after another. It was LOUD! Now, for many of you reading this the thrill of jets taking off might seem exciting. We have three small children who were unsettled, plus a dog. It necessitated a trip to the hardware store to buy $50 worth of ear protection. In fairness, days two and three were much more calm in terms of jet noise, and we have since heard from a friend of a friend that the aircraft do not fly on weekends. So, again it may be an issue, or it may be a thrill, depending on one's bent. We most likely simply timed it wrong.
One more positive, communicating with the owner was easy before our stay (we did not meet each other during our stay). Wendy responded promptly to our inquiries.

Renting a camp space with Wendy was an absolutely fantastic experience! The site was clean, spacious, and beautifully nestled in nature, providing the perfect blend of comfort and adventure. The amenities were well-maintained, secluded spots including a fire pit and close to town. Wendy was friendly and accommodating, making the check-in process smooth and welcoming. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a first-timer, this spot offers a peaceful retreat with all the essentials for a relaxing getaway. I would definitely rent this camp space again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind in the great outdoors.

Site Number 3
Really recommend staying here! We were at site 3 and it was very spacious and private, very close to Deception Pass State Park, and a clean porta potty. It is close to a busy road so recommend ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper

We arrived after dark so it was very difficult to see where “site 2” was located. I drove past it because the number was not near the road. Maybe have a post with the site number closer to the road so when campers arrive in hours of darkness, they are not bothering other campers trying to find the correct campsite. There were stinging nettles all around the edges of the campsite as well as along the entrance to the site. I got stung multiple times getting in and out of my vehicle. When I rented the campsite, camp fires were allowed; 3 hours into a 6 hour drive to the campsite I get a message that campfires are now NOT allowed and no refund will be issued if cancelled less than 24 hours before the reservation starts. I marked “hmm…maybe” I would recommend because I feel like whoever does the upkeep could do a little better job with the rogue weed control and the sites, at least #2, could be marked better. I liked the campsite once we got there, found it and were able to set up.

We stayed in camp site #3 just for saturday night for a spontaneous camping trip. It was a very pretty area, clean, with plenty of space and privacy. I would highly recommend. As mentioned in the description, the sight it next to the naval air station. We only heard one jet during our stay but at night and in the morning, we heard the air stations anthems and the national anthem, lol. We thought it was funny. It wasn’t loud, kinda off in the distance. At night we could hear waves crashing which was lovely.

Site Number 1
Beautiful camp site but the portapotty needed to be serviced and there was no toilet paper so we put our own in there. There’s no running water anywhere for us to use. It is very close to the highway so you hear cars all day and night and it’s also right next to the navy base where you hear jets scream overhead. The owner also made us feel a little uncomfortable because he came out of nowhere when we were making dinner and the first thing he’s said is…..no one comes here to just camp so what are you doing here? Umm we are here to just camp and enjoy the surroundings areas when not at the campsite which he thought was weird. This is a good spot if you just need somewhere to sleep for a night.

Such a great place to camp! The size of the site was very generous and spacious. The bathroom was also clean and smelled nice. This site is perfectly situated between the town of Oak Harbor and Deception Pass! I would highly recommend this site for your next trip.

Wendy's spot is fantastic! Super close to Deception pass. Even though you could hear the road, the site itself was completely sheltered, you couldn't even see the other sites. Wendy kindly provided a built up fire (unfortunately too wet to use) and a trash can at the site. There was more wood available and a very clean portapot close by. It's a great option for people looking for a little privacy or for easy access to parks.

Jack and Wendy were very welcoming and friendly.
The campsites are nicely spaced out from one another and have an excellent mixture of shade and opening to allow the sun and moon light to kiss the camp.
You can tell they’ve put in a lot of love and thought into the space - we were able to unleash our inner child on their playground rated grass.
We look forward to making this a common getaway.
