Don’t let the bargain price fool you; Amenities include showers, bathrooms, a communal kitchen & communal fire pit. Charming Plains Indian/Pioneer motif throughout. I especially enjoyed the “Ghost Buffalo” mural on the loft of the hangout barn.
Judy is working hard to install accessible paths through the property’s forested trails, so if you care about inclusivity this is a golden opportunity to support her vision.

Thank you Miss Judy for opening your property to Hipcampers. Don’t let the bargain price fool you; This property includes amenities like showers, bathrooms, communal kitchen & fire pit. Charming Plains Indian/Pioneer motif throughout. I especially enjoyed the Ghost Buffalo mural in the barn hangout loft.
Judy is working hard to create “freedom paths” to increase accessibility through her forested trail system; So if you care about folks with disabilities this is a golden opportunity to support her vision and have a good time yourself, too.

Perfect place for bikers, families, couples, basically everyone!
Whether you want a glamping, tent camping, van/rv camping experience this is the place for you!
Vashon island is a perfect getaway, and Judy’s place is in a great location to enjoy all the island has to offer.

Great spot. Camped 1 night in roof top car tent. Plenty of bathrooms that are clean. Very nice grounds. Great for well behaved dogs. Great for kids to run around and play. Will be back if we are in the area again.

Loved this campground - best one of my roadtrip this year. Easy tenting in the meadow. And the bathroom has an outdoor sink under a roof, which is much more comfortable for putting in my contacts than your typical small, smelly indoor bathroom.
Also, Judy is very friendly.

This camp is beautiful! Everything is as described. The outdoor bathrooms are super convenient and not too busy. Judy is responsive and takes care of things nicely. If I am in the area again this will be my first choice!

We loved tent camping at Judy’s beautiful farm. She was so nice when we checked in and it is a gorgeous property with tons of space for dispersed camping. It was super peaceful all evening. We were ready to book our next stay right after leaving!

This is a great little campground. There are plenty of bathrooms and showers. Everything is clean and neat. This is a great spot for cyclist transiting through Vashon or visiting for a few days. It's close to the business district. I will definitely stay here again when on the island.

Great location close to the major town center of Vashon Island. We were cycle touring and it was relatively easy with one good little climbing hill both ways to get to/from town. The property itself is well maintained with plenty of tenting spaces along with a kitchen, bathrooms with showers and a communal fire pit. Definitely will return.

The property is great. I had a comfortable stay. The amenities are helpful and the location is convenient. I enjoyed the walk to town for coffee and a pastry.

Judy clearly runs a tight ship! The property is absolutely stunning & incredibly peaceful & healing. The trail at the back of the property is amazing. She has a few sensible rules but overall chill. She isn't up in anyone's business.
My Frenchie has never been allowed off leach in such a setting & was over the moon happy about getting to run around with me leash free & he slept really hard, especially given it was his first ever camping trip. I felt safe, comfortable & free to do as I pleased. It was perfect.

We had a wonderful time camping at AYH Ranch! Getting there from the ferry was easy and there were plenty of spots to choose from when we arrived on a Friday evening. Judy recommended a spot in the shade for our little camper on a very warm weekend, which worked out perfectly. The bathrooms were clean and convenient. And because there are so many good restaurants near by, we didn’t even check out the kitchen. Look forward to camping here again!

Just was a wonderful, hospitable host. Her campsites were amazing and the location is beautiful. A common kitchen and showers/restroom were an added bonus.

This is a communal camp ground. If you’re looking to get away, this is not it. There are no individual places for tent camping, just an open field with no trees. If you’re bringing your dog, you might not have anything to tie your dog to. There was only one communal fire pit near the facilities. If you want a fire at your tent site, you need to bring your own fire pit. There might have been 4 picnic tables in the field. You can’t park near your tent site for unloading, loading and storing.
Other than that, the shared kitchen, showers and toilets were nice. There are communal picnic tables by the facility. There’s a communal great room with couches, tv, fireplace and pool table.
So again, if you’re looking for some seclusion and accessibility to your site with your car, your own fire pit and picnic table - this isn’t the place. This place is more ideal for large group camping.
We only stayed one night and left early. It seemed pointless to camp without a fire. Lesson learned for me is to not make assumptions and don’t fully rely on what’s written in the description. Ask questions before going.

Judy was very friendly and helpful, the tent camping was perfect for our needs and is a very good value for staying on the island. My dogs were welcomed in the common spaces and I very much appreciated that. The kitchen area was well stocked for making food and had made it feel like glamping rather than camping. We will definitely be back!

Such a quiet, sunny place with very comfortable conveniences like showers, a kitchen area and even a hair dryer! I came in the shoulder season and found a place to rest that I'll come back to in October.

Quiet, relaxing area not too far from town with adorable shops and restaurants.
My dogs and I loved having a trail system starting right from our camp spot, into a private forested area with a beautiful lake. We ran all around the lake and explored some of the offshoots as well. Also loved having a private, indoor space to use the restroom and shower, as well as a shared space to relax inside.
Not a complaint whatsoever- but just an FYI to anyone tent camping with dogs: Hipcamp does not disclose or list the $5/dog fee for outside camping, and did not relay pet information to the host. Even though I listed 2 dogs on my reservation, the host does not see that on her end. Some kind of Hipcamp glitch. So, if you book on here and have dogs- make sure you reach out and let the host know. Wasn’t a big deal and host was understanding about waiting until I could get into town for cash to pay the pet fee. But, just so you’re not surprised when you arrive 🙂

For my first experience in my van I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful space. Judy is an amazing host and manages a wonderful community space. Bathrooms, showers, and kitchen were clean and tidy. Being able to have my dog off leash and play in the field was awesome! It’s so good I extended my stay by another 5 days!

We spent two lovely nights enjoying the facilities and grounds. Fully equipped kitchen and warm bathroom and showers. January was the perfect time as we had the whole place to ourselves.

Thanks Judy for your kindness and hospitality! You had the only spot to camp on Vashon in the winter! Being able to use the facilities on a 30 degree night in a tent made a crazy spur of the moment bike tour more bearable. In true hostel fashion, clean communal kitchen and restrooms with all the accessories you could ever dream of. A very nice spread, I can only imagine how beautiful it is during the other seasons.

Judy’s land was a perfect landing spot for me coming to Vashon! She was super welcoming towards me and very helpful with local recommendations. The amenities of the campground are wonderful! And it’s super close to town. I’ll definitely be back! Thanks Judy!

The facility is geared to larger groups (it was just myself camping) so if you have a reunion or want a place for a gathering it would be great!
This time it was just myself and a couple other folks so it worked for me this time.
