Welcome to Christmas Tree Ridge Hello, This space overlooks the Tahuya Valley to the south and sits along the edge of a deep, forested gully to the east. Once described as a sea of evergreens, 20 mins from town, spot to rest, and recharge. Can feel remote, is very quite often. But on a dead air day, you may hear every little noise that humans make in the distance but most days just wind blown tree noise. 🏕 Site Overview: (See the site map in photos) Valley Ridge Lookout – Largest, the upper site, w/TiPi, big views, outdoor sink; cold shower, with outhouse nearby. Gully Vista – A hike-in, tent/hammock site, via a narrow trail down into the gully. West Perch(closed) – Smaller site with water and power, tucked along the western edge, pull through parking. Closed, future home of TiPi. Side Step – Closed/contact me. Have stuffed parked here at the moment. Seen most guests tent camp or bring vans. If your trailering, and the trailer weighs more than your 2WD tow vehicle, this place isn’t the best match. ✅ What Makes This Place Special: Big south skies—great for moon/stargazing. Backs up to 150+ acres of state timberlands. Hunters: check regulations. The new link trail connects the camp to the Howell Lake trail. Tight trails at first then opens up. We’ve got firewood— not perfectly dry but it burns. Kindling needed in wet seasons. 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 dirt driveway is bumpy—take it slow. New 2022 Well, Fresh water, but I can't legally recommend drinking it since it is still a temporary water setup. Can fill tanks directly from the well if asked. We love this land and look forward to sharing it with respectful guests. Let us know if you have any questions before you roll in. Yes, I used almost all the characters up and similar to every site description as well, enjoy. I don't get to do creative writing often 😄

Gully Vista

Tent site ¡ Sleeps 2
Never booked once last summer, I still present a micro campsite, built for backpacking-style tenting, in your own private setting. With a vista to the east, this spot looks clear across the main Tahuya River Valley from deep within a gully. During the wet season, the stream below adds a faint, relaxing flow as you rest and recharge. Two hammocks hang, or hang your own, Scavenge the forest for firewood and enjoy the peaceful space. Please be sure to view the overall campground description for more details, and check the maps provided — cell service is limited and it’s easy to get turned around out here. Details: Best for hiking/backpacking style camping. Max tent size: 7' x 7'. Access is via a narrow, backcountry-style trail a couple hundred feet down into the gully. Only site here with rock-free soil. Clay base with a leafy/twig overlay makes staking and tenting a breeze. Flat tent pad, shaded all day during full foliage. Without foliage it gets sunnier, but being on an east-facing slope, the site loses sunlight early. Plan accordingly to avoid setting up in the dark. 3 minute uphill walk to the outhouse in the NW corner near the Valley ridge lookout campsite.

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.

I've had a lot of in-and-out, one-night, minimal car campers. If that is you, this is the new listing aimed at those folks to save money and leave the primary campsites open. It is smallish spot(about 25'x50'). Rocky/sandy, but round rock so tenting ain't too bad. There really isn't much here at this campsite yet. Long uphill walk leads you up to the outhouse by the Valley Ridge Lookout campsite(look at map).. I would rate this as the best shade in the campground, being the lowest down the hill. No water or power, but if you bring 100' hose or cord to run across the driveway, I can hook you up in a pinch. Pros: -Often shaded. - Easiest spot to find and drive too. -Cheapest and most relaxed cancelation policy's Cons: -Steep drop to the south of the site, potential rollover hazard if driven off. -Can be challenging for low IQ drivers to figure out where to turn around, wish I was joking, no one reads the arrival instructions it seams. If you continue up the driveway past SideStep, you could turn a semi around. Watched a wrangler one morning struggle for literal minutes to turn around at this campsites entrance. Lastly: This is a get what you pay for campsite. It's raw, newly formed flat ground here I made for long term parking, however I'm testing budget campsites out with it. Add your pictures to Hipcamp to help set expectations for others.

A future remote home site is your campsite for the time being with a Tahuya Valley view! -The site with the best privacy*. Blast music, dance, laugh, scream, yell, be human, zero judgment here. Just respect the land. -There is a newish 22' TiPi at this site and I'm allowing campers to use either of the fire pits that suit the weather. Its a pleasure having a windless, rainless* fire in a storm. Please ask for a demo if you have not handled a Tipi. While intuitive to use, if you let a pole slip out of a smoke flap, don't try to reset it yourself, contact me. -SouthSouthEast facing slope, good sun, some shade areas thought out day. -Closest and flattest walk to the outhouse, which is 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 area is course sand and round rock, so yes tents work and many folks do tent, personally I would 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 without staking. * Rare access by us or other campers for using the Outhouse or the NW trail. The rest of the property is out of sight and down hill from this site. *Seams may drip, Didn't do the greatest job waterproofing the canvas the first go around. 2WD vehicles tear up the road and can get stuck if going to 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. Don't accelerate up the hill, but don't stop either. Wheel spin is greatly reduced if you start the climb above 10 mph and then bleed speed gradually as you go up, very short hill with a mild s curve. Snow is rare, but driving up is not recommended during snow.

Located at the Valley Ridge Lookout campsite, We wanted to offer a long term TiPi option for interested folks. Huge discounts for longer stays, up to 46% rate cut. $205/month with fees. -Use Camping@Valley Ridge Lookout site listing for large groups and shorter stays. -Quite large at 22" dia. It's perched over a slight mound, so no puddles form inside as drainage is excellent, but you will find that the TiPi seams may drip, varying with the type of rain— It is our my first Tipi, 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 level, dry dirt, various rugs/ground coverings available, and an open rock firepit. It's not much but will keep the smoke and rain out of your face. Seasonally, the water may be cut off but: -Cold outdoor shower behind wood shed -Cold outdoor sink -Water hose for auxiliary use. 10psi, 1-2 gpm. -Open forging for fire wood and anything else allowed. -Outhouse 100 feet away. -Options for free/reduced stay if you split 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. -180 acres of state forest at the north border with some trails. -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, no trash or chemicals. -SouthSouthEast facing slope, good sun, some shade areas throughout the day. -Closest and flattest walk to the outhouse, which is an underrated benefit vs. the lower campsite in my opinion. -Large outdoor rock fire pit, metal grate for setting over the rocks for cooking over the fire. Light 2WD vehicles are not recommended. Inquire for more info.

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!
