This camping spot offers a delightful mix of nature and friendly animals. Visitors love the welcoming horses and goats, and the beautiful views of Mt. Rainier and the surrounding area. The location is conveniently close to the Carbon River and town amenities, making it an easy escape from city life. However, some mention noise from a nearby highway and uneven ground, so campers should be aware of these factors.

My son and I had a lot of fun. We fed the horses and walked to the river which has a great water front walking path that goes into town.

The land and area around are very beautiful! the horses and goats are also very friendly aswell! however, i would not enter inside the pasture if there is heavy mud/rain. you can just park outside the main gate and go in with your tent or stay in your car for the night and enter the pasture when you like. the owners are also very helpful and very nice. highly recommended!

Tge horses and goats were lovely, and Michelle was prompt and clear with responding. An excellent spot for animal lovers and a short drive from Carbon River on Mt. Rainier.

I would describe as a lovingly quaint and beautiful property no more than short walk from the Carbon River. Everyone was really kind and low key, plenty of space to spread out. And for a city slicker the horses were as welcoming as can be to a stranger on their turf, they were some of the chillest company I've had in a while.

Above and beyond helpful, kind and just great. We got rained out, and I still have nothing but appreciation. We absolutely plan on booking again.
