This is the 2nd time we stayed at Shelly's. We love the sound of the stream and its lush forest behind their land. Shelly is always the nicest host, super fast in answering questions. We will come back again Shelly! Thank you very much for hosting us and our little RV!

Butter Creek Retreat in September

Butter Creek Retreat RV Site
We loved the trailer site right beside the Butter Creek. The sound of babbling creek was incredibly soothing. Shelly came out to meet us and get us situated, Joe was there when we had a question. We left daily to go to the national park and felt secure in leaving everything. Shelly provided great laundry facilities on the last day and we took chairs and lunch down to the creek. It is full sun but with full hookup we were not uncomfortable. Wonderful hosts and location!

We loved Butter Creek Retreat! Joe was super friendly and welcoming. The site is right in the creek with easy access to the water via nice steps. There’s a nice mossy trail to walk through the woods right next to the site. Full hookups are super & worked without a hitch. We’ll definitely be back to Butter Creek Retreat!

Peaceful Creekside Retreat with Ama

Butter Creek Retreat RV Site
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this quiet spot on the creek in Packwood! The location is serene and peaceful, perfect for relaxing, enjoying nature, and unwinding from the hustle and bustle. Joe and Shelly were exceptional hosts—always friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. They made sure we had everything we needed, checked in just enough to be helpful without ever being intrusive, and their kindness truly made us feel welcome. The space was exactly as described, and it felt like a true retreat. We loved spending time by the creek and soaking in the peaceful surroundings. We’re already looking forward to our next visit and would highly recommend this spot to anyone seeking a calm and beautiful getaway.

Immaculate, everything thought of. Great location on the outskirts of town but still only 5 minutes away. Quiet area with a creek which is awesome and private with many areas to sit and enjoy. Very easy access to the property and RV sites, full hookups in great working condition. Kelly and her husband were just plain nice and pleasant folks to top it off!

Location, while feeling far away, town is convenient. The property is immaculate and the RV spot is prime! Full hook ups, great internet and steps away from your own private beach at the creek. Quiet except for the creek which sounds better than any sound machine could make. Shelly and her husband were fantastic with great communication, knowledge of the area and activities and just plain nice folks. This is the only one of the 10 or so places I've stayed recently that I stayed for my full reservation, and extended.

This place is truly amazing. Everything here is exceptionally maintained from the hookups, the lighting, the level gravel parking, the stairs and paths. We loved having the creek right there and we slept so good to the sound of it. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. We can’t wait for a return visit!

Great quiet site with wonderful hosts. The site has stairs down to the creek which was a huge plus for us, we played in it most of the time! And if you follow the creek a bit north you can find a great swimming hole! So peaceful, can’t wait to visit again!

The response to questions or concerns were prompt and made the decision to book easy. The area is spacious and easy to maneuver larger RV's/trailers. It is well maintained and easy for parking and leveling. The hosts are friendly, accommodating and have recommendations for area activities and eating. If you need a starting point for the area of Mt Rainier, St Helens, hiking and any other outdoor activities, this is the perfect spot. The peaceful, quietness in the trees with the creek is amazing and access is just steps away to enjoy! We enjoyed our stay and time and plan to come back again.

This was one of the best Hipcamps we’ve ever stayed at! The property is incredibly well maintained and everything felt clean, peaceful, and pristine. The location is amazing, just a short drive to Mt. Rainier National Park. We loved camping right next to the creek and dipping our feet in the cool water after long hikes. Shelly and Tom were such kind and thoughtful hosts. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything we could need was available. You can tell they put a lot of heart into this place. Highly recommend!

My husband and I brought our dog, Echo, on a 4th of July camping trip to get away. Any fireworks that went off that weekend were so far away that it didn’t bother our pup too much. The spot we had was so perfect! It was very clean and relaxing. Joe and Shelly were super nice and welcoming. Gave us great tips for eating and hiking, and they’re great dog people. We have already talked about making this a regular stop.

Great site! Hosts were friendly and nice. They live onsite next to an air bnb they also rent out. Open campsite with lots of space. Clean spot. Easy stair access down to Butter Creek. We enjoyed playing by it and relaxing in our chairs in it. Cool wooded area to walk around right next to the site. Skate Creek was fun nearby, airstream ice cream and Packwood brewing are all kid friendly and close by options. About 45-1 hour drive to paradise/ Mr. Rainer.

Best RV Hipcamp we've been to!! Hosts were amazingly responsive, very friendly, and super helpful. Wish we lived closer so we could stay here more often!
You can tell they've gone over and above to make a welcoming, comfortable area, complete with full RV hookups, nature trails, forest backdrop and a perfect nature's soundtrack compliments of the adjacent Butter Creek.

Beautiful location on Butter Creek (which the doggos absolutely loved!). We really enjoyed talking to our hosts who made some great suggestions to us!
It was easy to navigate to the site with our 29' travel trailer.
There is a market, gas station, and restaurants nearby. Mt Rainier NP is very close (main reason for our stay) and the Cowlick river (glacier runoff) was only a couple miles away (dogs also loved that).

Idyllic, peaceful setting on the creek. A place to let the dogs play. The grounds are immaculately kept. Grocery store near by. Guided fishing trip near by was a blast! And, Shelly & Joe could not be nicer!! We will plan a trip just to come back to this divine campsite!

A beautiful river front property with the most gracious hosts! We love Packwood and we’re thrilled to find this gem. The location is just minutes from town and hiking. Such attention to detail has been put into making this a great space for campers and the river is literally steps away. Joe and Shelly were delightful and really made our weekend away to celebrate my husbands birthday relaxing and enjoyable. We will be back

Easy RV Camping along Butter Creek!

Butter Creek Retreat RV Site
Open, level and peaceful spot up the bank of Butter Creek. Large, gravel lot with full RV hookups. There is a little path at the creek side from one end of the lot to the other and easy stairs back up to the parking pad. Lots of options for nature walks and hiking nearby, and a short 30 minute drive to White Pass for skiing when in season. The hosts are super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We had a great time!

If you are traveling and need a place to stay in Packwood, this place is a must. The owners are absolutely amazing and the campsites are pristine. It is obvious they are very proud, as it is shown throughout the grounds. Love this place!

Beautiful pivate property located right on the Cowlitz River. A little bit of lowland snow but white pass was only 25 minutes up the hill. Shelly was very friendly and prompt to respond. We had a wonderful time. Will definitely be back to check out the summertime fun on their property.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible Hipcamp
25 ft travel trailer · With pets ·
Butter Creek Retreat RV Site
This was hands-down one of the best Hipcamp spots (and hosts!) we've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Shelly and Joe are truly amazing – they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and provide a top-notch camping experience. It felt like we were getting professional treatment from the moment we arrived.
Their site is perfectly situated right next to a beautiful creek. The sound of the water was so relaxing, and we loved listening to all the different birds. The location is also incredibly convenient: just 30 minutes from White Pass for some amazing outdoor adventures, and only 2 minutes from all the great shops and restaurants in Packwood. It's the perfect balance of peaceful nature and easy access to amenities.
Shelly and Joe's communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. They kept us well-informed about everything we needed to know, especially regarding camping in the freezing weather. Their thoughtful preparation made our trip so much smoother and more enjoyable. We can't recommend this Hipcamp spot highly enough! Thank you, Shelly and Joe, for an unforgettable stay!

I would highly recommend Butter Creek. Joe and Shelly were very welcoming. A quiet space tucked only a short drive from town. Less than 30 minutes to White Pass ski area! And there are full hookups, with the cold weather it was nice to run a space heater in our RV without needing to fire up the generator.

We’ve stayed here multiple times and have always had a great time! The owners are super welcoming and helpful and you can’t beat the views in every direction. We loved being able to see, hear, and walk down to the river and there’s a walking loop from the property that was fun to use. It’s easy to get to town and easy to tow our travel trailer in and out of. We will be back!

Enjoyed our first stay so much that we came back for a longer one.. such a well kept , convenient location. With great hosts. If you’re looking for a tranquil , quiet spot that is easy to get to and from with full hook ups. This is it. Close to everything but just far enough out to be peaceful and serene. The creek is like having a sleep sound machine. We got some wonderful nights sleep here.
