A little haven of warmth and relaxation.
Come experience this amazing Off Grid riverside enclave! Situated along the banks of the Tye River, this is the closest location to Steven’s Pass mountain and all the popular sites the scenic corridor has to offer! 6min from Steven’s Pass Resort, 1min to Scenic Hot Springs, 2min to Deception Falls, 2min walk from Iron Goat Trailhead and Cat skiing pickup! Just 45min from Leavenworth as well! Guests have the option to add on the Sauna package and enjoy our wood fired river view barrel sauna! No better feeling than to take a cold plunge in the river after a sauna:) On weekends we run our riverside wood burning hot tub as well included in the sauna/ hot tub package! All tent sites are riverside and feature mostly level tentpads and riverside fire pits! Some with room for multiple tents. While some sites are close in proximity, the sound of the river over powers most normal conversations just a few feet away and each site has a great stretch of river heaven! Drive in vehicle camping sites feature river views but are perched higher on the bank and while not directly riverside, are just feet away from the river! The property has communal river access points. All campers have access to our communal kitchen area as well featuring propane grill! Please bring your own cookware. Restroom facilities are well maintained portable toilets.

Riverside site #1

Tent site · Sleeps 4
This beautiful riverside site features an ~12x12 tent pad area and a firepit on the rivers edge! It also has room to setup another smaller tent in the site. This site is adjacent to site #2 and separated by privacy fencing. The hangout spots of the sites are spaced out and with the river flowing by noise from neighbors is not an issue. This is a new property and we are still adding some finishing touches. We’re excited to share this amazing property with guests! Note: You will hear the highway and train at times (as with all properties in the corridor) but traffic on the pass is extremely minimal at night.

This beautiful riverside site features an ~15x15 tent pad area and a firepit steps from the rivers edge! It also has room to setup another smaller tent in the site. This site is adjacent to site #1 and separated by privacy fencing. The hangout spots of the sites are spaced out and with the river flowing by noise from neighbors is not an issue. This site also is the closest site to our river bench carved into a fallen log sticking out in the river! This is a new property and we are still adding some finishing touches.

Tent site · Sleeps 4
Site 3 is a beautiful riverside site that has a fire pit and large hangout area on the river bank! It has an ~12x12 tent pad area. This site is centrally located amongst the sites, yet well spaced out, and can be accessed via the steps or walking path equidistantly. The tent pad is set slightly back from the river, behind logs, that separate the pad and the firepit. While you can’t “see” the river from your tent, you are only feet away! This is a new property and we are still adding some finishing touches. We’re excited to share this amazing property with guests! Note: You will hear the highway and train at times (as with all properties in the corridor) but traffic on the pass is extremely minimal at night.
