Welcome to Dean’s! Eight minutes off Highway 18 lies 11 acres of mostly undeveloped land. Dean's is a beautiful, bare-bones place to rest between national parks, before or after crossing the US / CA border, or to set up base camp to explore Seattle / Tacoma. Our main driveway is CLOSED this year for repairs. We have alternate arrival instructions for you after you book. These instructions add about 7 minutes (totaling 8 minutes) from Highway 18 to the campground. Our location is convenient. We are just minutes from Auburn city limits. Road noise, planes, Pacific Raceways, and freight trains are audible here even if muffled by the trees. Our distant neighbors occasionally indulge in target shooting. This doesn't last long. Please call us immediately with any concerns. We have a brand new neighborhood in construction on one of our property lines. Heavy machinery is in use around 8 am and usually finished by dinner time. In order to provide safety and peace, hosts live just outside the campground and closely manage happenings. All our sites have 2-4 persons occupancy in hopes of deterring parties. Our quiet hours are 8pm-8am so we can rest up for the next day’s adventures. We ban fires during the peak of summer to avoid the issue of wildfires entirely. Propane stoves are welcome. We do not have a check in cut-off time tho reservations do need to be made before midnight. We have zero tolerance for hateful, abusive, or discriminatory behavior toward people, belongings, and wildlife. With that being said, the 40+ year old trees and distance between the campsites provides space for you to bring and create your own vibes. Hosts should only approach you with safety or quiet hour concerns. They are available 24 / 7 for any questions or requests you may have. Feel free to reach out any time (our phone number can be found on Google).

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

Marlee’s campground was amazing to stay at! Very clear directions, plenty of space for my truck & camp set up, and tucked into quiet peaceful woods. Marlee was always easy to reach in case I needed anything. I felt safe leaving camp when needed to swing into town. Will absolutely come back!

Tree camp

Small, quiet, clean campsite. Perfect for 2 small tents or 1 larger medium size tent. This site was surrounded with trees so lots of shade, great for hot summer days. Currently the main road to the camp is under construction but the directions to get to camp with the temp driveway/road was super easy to follow. Burn ban was on so no fires. Cliffside hammock surrounded by trees, very peaceful, just be careful getting out. Overall was a beautiful place to stay.

Secluded but Convenient! Great!

Great! Easy, secluded, and beautiful. A little bit of road noise but nothing too crazy, and the dense forest made it feel very private despite it's proximity to the city.

The campsites very well kept, in a wonderful neighbourhood. The toilet is very clean, and the sites feel private and isolated. I will certainly be back the next time we are in the area!

Great little set of camp sites in the woods! Very responsive to questions about fitting our small trailer in one of the sites. Nice little weekend base for exploring around.
