3.5 acres hosted by Kim D.

2 RV sites

Adventure Basecamp is a tranquil, primitive camp nestled in a cedar grove at the end of a private, unpaved road less than a quarter mile off Mt Baker Hwy in Maple Falls, WA. It is the perfect stopover for hiking or skiing Mt Baker or stage yourself here for a weekend of world class mountain biking, hiking or fishing. In camp, level parking pads are tucked in amongst the cedars and a communal picnic/seasonal fire area sits in the center. Peace and quiet greets you here...it's just you, the fauna and flora, and an occasional motorcycle passing by. Watch the sun set over a meadow to the west, marvel at the night sky, a stand of firs lies to the north, and the property is bordered to the east by a private logging road. Vehicles must be fully self contained to stay here; tent camping is not permitted. Adventure awaits you in Maple Falls! It is situated along the Nooksack River at the base of Mt Baker in the North Cascades. Outdoor recreation abounds...mountain bike, hike, fish, forage, paddle, ski, snowshoe, find a swimming hole...or simply drive 50 minutes up to Artist's Point with a picnic and soak in the beauty. When hanging around camp, stroll into town to shop at Crossroads Grocery and/or have a chat and a bevie at Barmann Cellars. Bay to Baker Trail, Red Mountain and the Nooksack are also accessible on foot or bike from camp. We are 10 min to North Fork Brewery and Silver Lake Park, 15 min to Glacier, 45 min to the Mt Baker ski area and 35 min to Bham. Plan to unplug...cell service is dodgy! The property is 3.5 acres over 2 parcels. It was heavily wooded and untended when we purchased last year and has recently been logged. Driving onto the property you'll pass the future garden site, outbuilding, homeowners' cabin, timber for milling and firewood, and, at the end of the road, you arrive at the tidy basecamp. In camp, there is a mound of hog fuel (mulch), a byproduct of logging that we will utilize, and the first stage of a hugelkultur berm that we are building to plant fruit trees. Beyond the basecamp, remnants from the logging project are visible. Sithmaith is a special property, and she is a work in progress.
