Welcome to Christmas Tree Ridge Hello, Our space provides south views over the Tahuya Valley and sits along the edge of a deep gully to the east. Once described as a sea of evergreens, decades ago this whole area grew Christmas trees, so we like to think a lot of the +40 year old trees where just left to grow for lumber once they stopped farming holiday trees. It feels very remote as it is very quite here, though on a dead air day during commute hours, you'll hear distant road noise, that's about it, often the wind, rain, and the birds drown it out completely. 🏕 Site Overview: (See the site map in photos, please) Valley Ridge Lookout – Largest, the upper site, with a 22' TiPi. Huge views, outdoor sink, cold shower, and outhouse nearby. Gully Vista (request only) hike-in, tent/hammock site, via a narrow trail down into the gully. West Perch – Smaller site with water and power, tucked along the western parcel edge, pull through parking. Closed for construction for future base site of TiPi. Side Step – Closed. Most see tent campers and AWD vans . If you're trailering, and the trailer weighs more than your vehicle, this place is not for you. ✅ What Makes This Place Special: Big south skies—great for moon/stargazing. South of hundreds of acres of state timberlands, A new private link trail connects to the Howell Lake ORV trail network. Trail can be overgrown at first, then opens up to ORV trails. We’ve got firewood— not perfectly dry but it burns. Kindling recommended in wet seasons for starting. Trash-free land. Please keep it clean, you're welcome to burn paper products and I encourage you to buy more paper and less plastic. Please pack out all waste with you. ⚠️ A Few Notes: Steep drops —stay alert, especially at night. 1-mile private drive is bumpy—take it slow please, more so during dust season. Freshly drilled well , but I can't legally recommend drinking since it flows via temporary water setups still. I can fill tanks directly from the well if asked. We love this patch of land and look forward to sharing it with respectful guests. Let us know if you have any questions before you roll in. Sweet, nearly all 2300 characters used, the same for every site description as well, enjoy. I don't get to do creative writing often 😄

Many people haven't had success in finding the outhouse. Tip: Walk up the hill and go as far northwest as you can and you'll find it behind the woodshed. Look at the campground description for more details and also look at the maps that I provided because lots of people get lost around here without cell service. Description of West Perch: A movable fire ring, wood, water, and power at this site. 3 min walk leads you up (+50') to the outhouse at the very top and back of the parcel. Plenty of sun at this location as well. Entrance to site is right of that red, tent shaped rock. Walk the path first if you are unsure about driving it. Small space, drive through spot, no grass again this year since I reshaped the land, more level and more room now. Rocky, but round rock so still very tentable, especially with a broom. ___Pros: ____ -Well tucked on the property with 2 separate partial directional views of the valley. -Perched well on the hill. -Open sky to the west, which is a neighboring parcel that was logged back in 22. - Unfiltered Well Water Tap (37psi) -120V Power hookup (20amp and 30amp receptacles) -Moveable ring ring to allow different camp layouts and adjust for wind direction and ash fallout on tents. -Nearby wood stack ____Cons:____ The outhouse is up that hill all the way to the north west corner of the property. 50/50 chance you fall on your ass walking back down the upper driveway as the round sandy rock can be like marbles at times. -Sort of a Con, Place runs on solar, If ya run your AC/electric water heater the whole time, we may all lose power until about 4 hours after sunrise the next day.....IF it's sunny, so be mindful about your energy usage or I'll open the breaker. -Ain't got no grass again this year is another con I suppose. Probably never will as I'm planning something else here.

Our future home site is your campsite with a Tahuya Valley view! -Blast music, dance, laugh, scream, yell, be human, zero judgment here. Just respect the land. -Only campsite with full privacy*. -The newish 22' TiPi at this site is for the longer term stays(weeks), but I'm allowing campers to use either the TiPi fire pit or campsite pit, which ever suits the weather as it is a pleasure having a windless, rainless fire in a storm. Please ask for a short lesson if you wish to have a fire in the TiPi. While it looks intuitive to use, if you let a pole slip out of a flap you will find out how wrong you were, do not try to reset the pole yourself, contact me and I'll give that lesson you should of asked for :) -SouthEast facing view, some shade areas and sun areas thought out day -Closest and flattest walk to the outhouse, an underrated benefit compared to the other campsites in my opinion. -Large outdoor rock fire pit, metal 2" mesh grate for setting over the rocks for setting pans for cooking over the fire. -Cleared in 2022, a lot of the vegetation is coming back well, but don't except soft grass. Our areas natural soil is course sand with round rock making it safe for tents, and many folks do tent. (zero crushed stone gravel here, to sharp for barefooting). -Personally I rake and roll out a old rug under the tent. -Strong metal tent stakes and a hammer are good things to bring if your tent is not free standing/requires staking. -2WD vehicles tear up the road and can get stuck if going too slow, primarily an issue in the late summer when the road is dry and starts coming unpacked due to tire spinning from the lower skilled percentile of drivers. The key to not tearing the road up is to not accelerate up the hill, but don't stop either. Wheel spin is greatly reduced if you start the climb above 10 mph and then slowly let your bleed speed down gradually as you go up, very short hill with no surprises, just a mild S curve. -Snow is rare, but driving up is not recommended during snow. * Rare, but us or other campers may walk by for using the Outhouse or the back trail. The rest of the property is out of sight and down hill from this site. *TiPi Seams may drip as we didn't do the greatest job waterproofing the canvas the first go around.

Request only to prevent double booking since this is located at the Valley Ridge Lookout campsite. We wanted to offer a long term TiPi option with huge discounts for longer stays, up to 46% rate cut. With fee's just $205/month. -Select the Camping@Valley Ridge Lookout site listing for larger groups and shorter stays. -Quite large at 22', the Tipi is perched on a slight mound so no puddles form inside as drainage around it is excellent, but you will find that the TiPi seams may drip, varying with the type of rain— It is our first Tipi, and it's been a learning curve to maintain the canvas for best water proofing. -Baseline Tipi knowledge to include safe fire practices as well as how to properly configure the Tipi flaps for various weather and fire conditions is required. Moving the Flap poles(~30' Tree poles) can be a chore for smaller persons without the right technique. -Furnishings include dry dirt, and an open rock firepit, various rugs/ground coverings are available if requested for during your stay. -It's not much but will keep the smoke and rain out of your face. -The water gets cut off during cold snaps, others its always available to turn on: -Cold outdoor shower behind wood shed -Cold outdoor sink -Water hose for auxiliary use. 10psi, 1-2 gpm. -Open forging for firewood and anything else from local woods is allowed. -Outhouse just 100 feet away. (behind wood shed) -Options for free/reduced stay for splitting wood/labor. Any long term guest, I would appreciate it if you split your own wood, but you're welcome to the dry wood from the stack for the starting of a fire, replace what you take with split wood if able bodied, but don't risk your safety if you can't handle an axe. -X27 Friskers splitting axe should be hanging around the wood shed but campers often leave it where ever they please. -hundreds of acres of state forest at the north border. -2 mile hike to Lake Howell, and access to the dirt bike trail network as well. -The only site with full privacy. Do anything. Just respect the land. -SouthEast facing slope, good sun, some shade areas throughout the day. -Large outdoor rock fire pit, crude metal grate for cooking over the fire. Light weight 2WD vehicles are not preferred up here because they tear up the driveway.

This place is stunning. The hill up was pretty steep but we made it just fine with 4wd. The teepee is great and having the option of either firepit was awesome. Running water with the sink, the outhouse, and the amount of open space was all fantastic. Great access to trails and Howell lake trail was excellent and secluded. Also there was PLENTY of firewood and kindling. Highly recommend for large groups and families.

The host was quite nice and the site had convenient water and power. He even left firewood. View is of nothing but trees as far as you can see. The site is small, mostly level, and carved out of the side of a hill at the end of a steep drive. The ground is made up of glacial pebbles. This makes driving tent pegs a little challenging. To get to the site you have to drive past the hosts RV trailer which is in plan view of the site. I had boat trailer which I had to take off before going up the last stretch of the drive. You have to either back in or back out of the site. I am a very experienced driver and you do NOT want to try to back a trailer up that last stretch. Finally, it says there is a toilet there, and maybe there is, but neither I nor my buddy were ever able to find it. I just think there are better places to stay. If you do think about this site, call the host first. He is a nice guy a will tell you what ou need to know.

Wonderful place to camp! Even though it rained over the half the time we were there, it was so peaceful and private we didn't really care! Most well appointed outhouse I've ever used! Much appreciated, and a lot of hard work has obviously gone into the projects on site. My F-150 with 4WD had no problem making it to the top spot, but it may be difficult/technical depending on weather/road conditions. Other two spots for easily accessible even by a small car. More than plenty of room for the 2 of us and my dog to stay comfortably. I hope to return again for a longer stay, with a few more friends to share this gem with!!!

We loved staying at Valley Ridge Lookout! The camp site was beautiful and was private. Noone came to use the outhouse while we were there (at least that we know of 🤣) . Speaking of, the outhouse was nice and clean! We'll definitely will be planning another trip.

I didn't want to leave. It is so quiet I heard nothing but the birds. You do have to watch where you walk naturally, like any forest there are dropoff s. I went at the beginning of the camping season so it might be different from the heart of the season. Intermediate phone service that made it hard to use apps for plant identification. So if you are coming out to forage, please do it responsibility for this is the universe's sanctuary ment for everyone. I will be back.

Long Stay @ TiPI
I went tent camping with my pal here this past weekend, and it was great. Joseph was responsive when I had questions, and the site was nice and large with a pretty nice pit toilet outhouse, and a nice fire ring area to congregate around with large stones to set things on and a bench. We strolled out from the site on the trail past the outhouse and connected up to the Howell Lake trail which was a nice hiking outing. Having a car that can handle the rock and dirt terrain is helpful, and a Crosstrek made easy work of it. It's also nice the site is about 15 minutes to Belfair so it's a short hop into town for supplies. This place is a good bargain.

This is an great spot for those that enjoy a primitive camp setting. Such as myself. The property and campsites have been carved into the mountain only in recent times. It makes for great view of the nature around you and submersion into it. But there's still 5G! You can have a fire if you're not an idiot (solo campers appreciate that respect). Also, the host is an exceptionally nice dude.

Stayed here with my dad for two nights over Father’s Day weekend. I used my roof tent and he car camped with an inflatable mattress. We liked how spacious the campsite was, and also enjoyed the views and privacy. We didn’t want to be crowded at a public campsite that weekend so Joseph’s spot was just what we were looking for. I can tell this is going to become a gem of a campsite!
