FOOD : Due to the exorbitant cost of meats and groceries at present, we have had to suspend our cooking activities for the present. We are so sorry. SHOWER ROOM : Hot shower up and running, Propane type insta hot water. Just what is Cowboy Camp, you might ask. The traditional definition refers to sleeping outside under the stars with only a bedroll, a fire and the night sky for companions. But if you are a fan of the western genre and lifestyle, you might also know it as a place to go to hang out with like minded folks and experience the Cowboy lifestyle. This includes all people, men and women alike, as the term "Cowboy" is largely generic and not gender oriented. A taste of that lifestyle is what we are offering here at our Cowboy Camp. As part of your cowboy camp experience you can sign up for a horsemanship lesson involving handling and grooming horses and time spent working with the horse in the round pen. ACTIVITIES: Local hikes in forest: 1/4 mile Fort Worden: 5 mile Beach : 3 miles Our beautiful piece of property is comprised of 11 acres situated on the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula just outside the quaint Victorian seaport town of Port Townsend. It lies approximately 4 miles from downtown with its many art galleries, restaurants, shops, boat harbor, farmer's market and the historic Rose theater. The horses are excluded from camping areas during your visit. No need to worry about curious horses coming into your campsite to say hello. We have created a walking trail through the forest around the land that is full of the sounds of life and birds. A pileated woodpecker makes its home in the back corner and two pairs of barred owls also inhabit the nearby Douglas firs. An important note for the walking explorer, please be aware that many areas of the farm are in their natural state. This means you might encounter prickly plants such as star thistle, nettles and tansy ragwort. We are happy to identify these for you if you are unfamiliar with them. Please be aware and dress in long pants and long sleeves while hiking. There are no poisonous snakes present in this region. Side note : Due to the presence of horses, chickens and various wildlife on the property, we do not allow outside dogs at this time. Thank you for your understanding.

Tent site · Sleeps 4
Fawn Crossing is a lovely tent site situated in the back corner of the field, under a large cedar tree. There is room for one family sized tent and parking is next to the site. The access road is dirt so it can get dusty. Good to know for allergy and asthma sufferers. Deer frequent this corner as they travel between field browsing and the deep forest just beyond the fence. It is a short walk across the field to the porta potty. There is a small rock campfire ring and we provide 6 gallons of potable water at the site ( refilled as needed).

Buck Rub

98%
(52)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 20 ft
Buck Rub is named because several young buck deer use the nearby trees for antler rubs. They visit almost daily when the site is quiet. There is a raised 12x12 foot sandy bed area nestled amidst several young alder trees. Two of the trees are suitable for a hammock but tree straps must be used. We have a hammock to rent if you like.  This site is also the largest as it is situated at the edge of the horse pasture. It includes a fire ring for campfires in season, a picnic table, trash can, portable potty and handwashing station. We deliver 5 gallon jugs of drinking water to your site for you. Drinking water can also be easily carried from the barn approximately 100 yards from the site. The site also overlooks a low lying dry pond area frequented by deer.  The picnic table, fire ring and bench sit next to and are sheltered by a large mature cedar tree that overlooks the site. Walking across the open pasture leads you into the forest trail on the backside of the property. The site is situated approximately 50 yards from Cowboy Camp proper with the Chuckwagon and horse corral areas.  Hiking boots or sturdy shoes are recommended as the ground is uneven, has tree branches, roots and rock trip hazards, and of course the expected occasional horse manure on the trails. In addition to the prepared site, there is plenty of room for additional tents for a larger family gathering. It is a short 1/4 mile walk to the nearby DNR trail system.4 mile easy bike ride to downtown Port Townsend Farmers Market, Whale watching trip, Ferry to Coupeville, shopping, and hospital services all within 5 miles.

Doe's Rest

98%
(49)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 20 ft
Doe's rest is named for the two does that frequently visit to rest, graze and sleep here. They can be seen almost every day passing through on their rounds. The site itself is set back into the forest, amongst a grove of mature Douglas Fir and cedar trees, surrounded by a carpet of ferns and woody vegetation. The site is secluded and quiet, with night sounds of frogs, barred owls, coyotes and occasional barking dogs singing along. Do bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to night noises . The site looks out into the open pasture just beyond the fence. It is outfitted with picnic table, 7 gallons of potable water in a jug, fire ring, bench and flattened tent pad or trailer area. It is a back in site only. It is a short walk, maybe 30 yards, to the porta potty. Cowboy camp proper is a short walk through the woods on a well travelled path or along the main gravel entrance road. A lovely short walk through the forest lies adjacent to the site and loops around through the field to return. We hope you will enjoy your stay at Doe's rest.

Valley View site 7

(23)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 35 ft
Designed as a back in trailer site to accommodate travel trailers, this site sits at the edge of the small valley ( dry pond in summer) and overlooks an area favored by deer and wildlife. It comes with picnic table, fire ring ( available within burn ban regulations) and is only a short walk to the porta potty. The rear side of the site adjoins a section of forest which is adjacent to the hay shed and horse corrals. Common night sounds include horses nickering, local coyotes passing through, resident barred owls calling, frogs and the many sounds of night in the forest. We do have a rooster but he is locked up in the barn at night to try to muffle his calling to the hens. Allergens include hay, horses, dust and tree pollen, just in case.

We stayed in site #1 for just one night -- it was perfect for our family of 4! Level ground for our tent, picnic table, and a large container full of tasty water. Everything was well maintained and clean, including the porta-potty. We're glad we got a chance to meet Karma, such a lovely person. We'd definitely stay again.

Overall, Cowboy Camp was fine for our one night stay in Port Townsend. Close to town and easy to find. The campsite was spacious and quiet. Rick was friendly and met us at the road and led us to our campsite. Heads up, they no longer offer breakfast as listed in the description. We also were not able to find the potable water and the showers did not work. There is a port-potty though. But if you are looking for a no-frills campsite close to PT, this is just fine.

Cowboy Wall tent site 8
Positives- clean bathroom/ shower area. Coyotes yipping at night. Close in to Port Townsend. Negatives- Very cluttered property … broken down cars, lots of blue tarps, possibly occupied RVs (multiple) that have been there a while…all things that didn’t add to the ambiance, reminded me of parts of Portland. The wall tent was a harbor freight style “garage” on a deck, I should have looked closer at the pics. One other negative was the hosts warning in our initial message exchange that if I took a wrong turn and disturbed the neighbors, I would be kicked out without a refund… not really a welcoming vibe. All in all- it worked as a place for my son to sleep.

Everyone was very nice! The property is great. We stayed in an overflow site that was typically utilized for horses. We were not told that and unfortunately we were camping, surrounded by horse poo. It was not ideal. More trees would have been nice too if they are going to utilize this as a camping area. Otherwise great! Would camp again now knowing what to expect

We had a wonderful time staying at Cowboy Camp. The sites are well laid out to give campers plenty of privacy and easy access to necessities/amenities - toilets, water, hot showers etc. Karma and Rick are super helpful - both on site and via messenger - as well as being lovely people. We had a really nice breakfast down at the cowboy wagon which we would definitely recommend for those camping on days when it is being offered. Finally, we loved the local area. There seems to be an endless supply of interesting places to explore.

We liked the campground and brought our two children 5 and 3. I liked that the children got to see the horses and pet and feed them. Out campsite felt more private and we could hear the trees blowing slightly in the breeze and it was very peaceful and pleasant. The stars were out at night and it felt quiet. Unfortunately, we missed the cowboy breakfast because the owners happened to be out of town so we’ll have to enjoy it next time.

The sites are big, porta potties clean, actual sink and shower right near the barn. Five beautiful horses that are friendly. Excellent hosts who also provide coffee in the morning plus great conversation. They also have old style cowboy chuck wagon and family style food if you choose that option. It is an original wagon, which the horses can be hooked up to it for a trip. Great area to visit.

Karma and Cowboy Rick never disappoint when being awesome hosts! My family and I needed a getaway from the Seattle heat and Port Townsend fit the bill. Karma and Rick have done some fantastic upgrades to the property and it keeps getting better and better every time we return to this oasis in PT. This was our third time visiting and it will not be our last! Thank you Karma and Rick for making us feel like family!

We loved Cowboy Camp! Karma & Rick were super friendly and welcoming - made us feel right at home. The campsites are well spaced and we really enjoyed being near the horses. The toilets were very clean and the shower had excellent water pressure, which was a godsend after a sweaty summer day. Lovely experience - we’d happily return!

The campground was well kept with ample space and privacy between sites. We stayed in Buck Rub and it was awesome to have the big field for the kids to run around in. Porta potties were super clean and even smelled good! Our favorite amenities were the hot shower with great water pressure and the hot breakfast on Sunday before our drive home. My kids made a ton of friends with other campers and everyone was super friendly. Rick and Karma were kind and gracious hosts. We’ll be back!

Karma and Rick saved us after our other camp site reservation cancelled on us last second. Our other campsite when it was shut down do to a heavy rain and our reservation was cancelled when we were already 5 hours from our home. Fortunately our last second 7pm reservation was quickly accepted for Cowboy Camp. Karma reached out right away to give us clear direction and stayed up late to greet us/show us to our site when we arrived at 9:30pm. Both of the host were very hospitable and we enjoy conversing with them while they worked with the horses or were preparing the cowboy dinner. We hope we are able to visit their place again next year to do the cowboy camp activities and explore Port Townsend again.

Rick and Karma were so friendly and helpful. The campground was clean and comfortable, with a nice level tent pad at our site. Dinner and breakfast were delicious with generous portions at an unbeatable price. The hosts were responsive and easy to reach for anything we needed, and we especially loved getting to spend a little extra time learning about the horses. We would happily visit again.
