This campsite on Vashon Island seems to be a hit among campers, offering a peaceful and spacious environment close to town amenities. Many reviewers appreciated the clean facilities, including bathrooms and a communal kitchen, which added a touch of comfort to their stay. A few did mention issues with shared spaces, like the kitchen being crowded at times, but overall the vibe was relaxed and welcoming. Judy, the host, received high praise for her hospitality and management of the property.

This was a beautiful place to stay and it was only about 5 minutes from the town of Vashon. The town had lots of nice places to eat and lots of the interesting things to look at.

Ample of space for tent camping. Kids are safe to run around on the open field
We stayed on Vashon one night for a party and this was the perfect place to stay! The beds were comfy and Judy was very helpful.
It was so convenient to be able to stay right on the island and we’ll definitely be back!
Had to reschedule last minute due to injury. Host was a peach! She was very kind and understanding allowing the flexibility of rebooking at a later date.
We absolutely loved this Hipcamp and would happily stay again. There is lots of space to spread out, so campers don't feel crowded or right on top of each other. The barn has a fantastic, cozy, “homey” atmosphere, and there are several great areas for communal campfires.
The kitchen is wonderfully furnished with all the comforts and conveniences of home, which could be a huge bonus to campers.
The only challenge we experienced was caused by other campers, not the facility. A large group essentially took over the kitchen as their own, with 6–8 people cooking and gathering there several times a day. At times, I couldn't even find enough counter space to pour my coffee! I ended up washing dishes at the outdoor sinks or the bathhouse rather than trying to navigate the crowded kitchen.
At the end of our stay, I discovered there was also a smaller kitchen in another building, which I wish I had known about sooner—that would have completely solved the issue.
Overall, the facility itself gets all the stars from us! It's a beautiful, thoughtfully set-up property with plenty of space, great amenities, and a wonderful camping atmosphere. Especially if you are looking for a place to gather for a family reunion or a group retreat, look no further! The kitchen situation was simply a matter of a group of guests not being considerate of the shared space, and certainly not the host's fault.

We loved Judy and highly recommend stay at this site if given the chance. Judy was not only welcoming but she made the entire campsite feel like home. The showers are hot, the fireplace was great and our spot was gorgeous. I hope to stay here again one day!

The shared barn and fire pit were great. Clean outdoor bathrooms and showers too. We saw some deer 🦌 on arrival. There was a large group camping too but not too loud.

Solo/Twin Micro Cabin
Super cute little cabin that os very close to the shops and restaurants. Dogs enjoyed being off leash. Quiet.
Very well maintained property with clean amenities! Very kid friendly!
I Would absolutely stay here again.
A great spot in Vashon! So close to town! The barn and bathrooms here are wonderful and a friendly host! Unfortunately we had loud neighbors and barking dogs that were parked so close but we’d come again and try to park farther away next time.

Teepee with fire pit
The bear tent had one full sized cot and two twin size cots. All cots had a small sleeping pad. It was a good size and you can easily stand in it.
This was my second time at AYH, first time in a teepee. It was so nice to spur of the moment “go camping” and not worry about packing a million items. No need for a cooler, cooking utensils, air mattress, tent, etc. perfect way to try and be spontaneous with my toddler, especially by myself. Plus 5 minutes to town for food and all the other wonderful things Vashon has to offer.

Great open land, proximity to the nature preserve and downtown, awesome amenities, and clean bathrooms and showers! Perfect for camping or glamping!
This is lovelier than pictures can depict. Just the perfect getaway for families or groups of friends. The barn and field are great assets, and we had a lovely night of s’mores. When we left, my son said, “This was not what I expected, but it was so much fun!” Thank you!

I camped in my car, it was very lovely. Kitchen and showers available and the view and nature is awesome. I had not time to explore since I slept there for only one night but at the next opportunity I would book a teepee to sleep in.

On a spur of the moment, decided to try and make a reservation to stay for 1 night. They rapidly got back to me and were able to accommodate the last minute reservation.

There was a lot of good things about this place. One, I was able to stay relatively far from most others, making it a little more private than a state park camp. The kitchen/freezer/fridge that is open for use was super helpful. I still cooked at camp and used a cooler, but doing dishes was great. The big field where we camped was soft, and drained well. The lawn was so nice, and great for kids to just run around. Lots of dogs here for my dog to interact with. There was a trail nearby that you could walk. This place was only 10 minutes from town. The hosts were very communicative, and the price was great. One thing that was not great, was that there was only one fire pit. I had thought there would be the ability to have one at our camp. One suggestion I would have, is to make the bathrooms accessible from outside the barn. It was a bit awkward to go through the barn to go to the bathroom. There was 2 women who basically lived in the common space, sitting right outside the bathrooms, and so you walk past them a dozen times a day when going to the bathroom, taking kids to the bathroom, or taking a shower. Felt like it was their house that I was using to go to the bathroom.

Beautiful, quiet campground. Fun walking the grounds and trails.
Judy and team have a lovely place. Clean and friendly.
AYH Ranch is an absolute gem: a big open field with many different tenting spots, clean toilets, warm showers, a communal fire pit with wood, an adjacent natural preserve and close to town. The lovely and friendly Judy runs the place impeccably. Highly recommend, will come again. 5 stars all around.
