Near North Cascades National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the North Cascades National Park Wilderness Information Center.
Camp Keyser is a wooded 5 acre parcel in the mountains, near mountain loop highway - in the center of everything wonderful in the northern cascade mountains. We have one private cabin and 6 campsites. Tent campers will enjoy the lush landscape of a mature forest with sites along the (seasonal) Thirsty Creek. Nearby (3 minute walk), users can contemplate views of Whitehorse Mountain, Jumbo Mountain, Glacier Peak, and Whitechuck Mountain. This part of the Stillaguamish valley and the adjacent Mountain Loop Highway is known for a great selection of hiking trails, at all skill levels. It is perfect hub for all of your outdoor interests. The trailhead for the summit of Whitehorse Mountain is just a mile away, as is Old Mine Road trail (45 minute hike ending in 2 waterfalls). A 15-20 minute walk takes campers to a swimming hole in the cool Stillaguamish river for a dip or a paddle. Even closer is Whitehorse Regional Trail (great for biking, walking and horseback riding) built on the bed of the former BNSF railroad through the North Stillaguamish River Valley, spanning over 27 miles. The nearly level trail meanders through the valley, rewarding visitors with picturesque, landscape views of forests, farmland, streams and rivers, and mountain vistas. Sites have a generous fire pit and access to a Porta-Potty. For bathing I recommend cool dip in the Stillaguamish River. In season there is also fishing, snowshoeing, concerts at the blue grass festival grounds, a rodeo, and so much more.

We had a great time tent camping in spot #7, beautiful scenery, quiet, plenty to do in the nearby area! The trees create a nice weather cover from the sun and rain. The campsite has service, a picnic table, and fire pit with a grill for cooking. We walked down to the river and spent a few hours hanging out.

Perfect local camping spot!
This was our second time camping here and we had a blast, it’s a nice cozy area that feels like true camping without being in the middle of nowhere! Steve is always so kind and the location is beautiful! Will definitely be making this spot a tradition!

Great Campground, wonderful host!
We had a wonderful stay on Steve's land - a great little campground with private and very well maintained sites, exceptionally clean port-a-potty, and Steve came by to check if we had everything we needed and welcome us. The site is very close to a number of absolutely amazing hikes. We loved our stay and hope to come stay again!

hidden camp site magic!
Steve's camping area is magical - especially the walk in sites. Each site is secluded from the others - he did a fantastic job of carving little hidden paths to each one so you feel almost as if you are alone in the forest, even though the sites are really not far away from each other. Also the most pleasant Port-a Potty I have ever experienced :)..

We had a great camping experience on Steve’s land! From having a wagon to help with moving in, to the set up of the campsite, everything seemed well thought out and made it easy to settle in! We loved walking to the river too!

The campsite was beautifully surrounded by moss-covered trees and secluded from other sites. There was a metal firepit and small picnic bench but it was also helpful that we had brought a folding table to have extra surface area. The creek nearby was dry so the nearest swimming hole was about a mile away. At the swimming hole, there was no beach unless you swam to the other side and the climb down was difficult for some people in our group so we didn't get in but it was still a nice walk. Major perk of this location is that it feels woodsy and camp-like while only being 1-1.5 hours outside of the city and easier to book than public campsites.
