Flying M Stables offers a unique camping experience right next to a working stable, complete with full hookups and a serene atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the convenience of being close to Olympia while enjoying the peaceful surroundings filled with horses and other farm animals. While the site is primarily a parking lot, the opportunity to watch horse activities and interact with friendly hosts adds charm. However, some guests note the lack of privacy and occasional muddy conditions as minor drawbacks.

I love staying here. We camp next to two beautiful fir trees. I love that they set up corrals next to our camp for our horses. It’s a really beautiful place very quiet. They also have Highlander cows which are fun to look at.the hosts are exceptionally nice and accommodating. We look forward to our next visit.

Flying M Stables offered exactly what we needed—a quiet, convenient escape just outside Olympia. While the site itself is situated by the stable parking lot, it had full hookups including sewer, which made our stay comfortable and easy. We especially enjoyed waking up to folks unloading their horses for the schooling show happening during our visit. It was a treat to watch a few sessions and take in the peaceful countryside surroundings.
We also loved getting to pet a few friendly barn cats and see a variety of other farm animals around the property. Stratford was incredibly helpful and flexible with all our requests—cannot say enough good things about this place. A great spot for a low-key, nature-focused getaway.

Decent landing spot for an urban adventure in Olympia. The area for the trailers was pretty muddy, but lots of hard rain, so not much you can do about that. Easy to get in and out of. Kids enjoyed that there was a dog show happening that weekend on the grounds.

Full hook-ups, flat surface, bathroom, barn cats, horses, cows, goats, and quiet. What more could you ask for? Oh, and 15" minutes south of downtown Olympia. Perfect! Will stay here again.

The site is on the parking lot of the stables, so there's not much privacy. You can walk around and look at the horses but not ride. There's a full hookup and a flush toilet inside the stables.

Me and the wife stopped through on our way to Portland for the night, very quiet and peaceful. Everything is as it was presented to be, was a nice morning walk around the stables to pet the horses. Would recommend!

This is an unusual place to "camp". To be frank, it's a parking lot with full hookups.
However, it's unique because they board lots of beautiful horses in their pasture. Cowgirls were coming and going all day and it was fun to watch the activity. It was never loud or invasive.
The surrounding area is lovely and only a 7 minute drive from Millersylvania State Park and about 20 minutes from Olympia.
Bert, the host, was welcoming and helped us with an electrical challenge.
I recommend this Hipcamp location and the hosts.

We enjoyed our time at Flying M. It was very peaceful and lovely property. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the beautiful horses. We did not meet Strattford but his mother-in-law took good care of us and was very helpful and accommodating. Full hook ups were great.

Such a peaceful spot to stay! We were just passing through so didn’t spend a ton of time there but what time we did spend was so lovely! The horses are so friendly and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed feeding them all the grass she could find. Would definitely stay here again for hopefully a little longer next time to see if we could get our hands a little dirty with some farm chores!

I like that this site had full hookups and internet. It felt safe. Sometime there was a lot of horse, truck and trailer activity for the equine side of the property which I was right next to. The bathroom is in the barn and it was dirty. It could use some care and so could the playground. It is old and weathered.

Friendly, good communication, easy in and out. We had a 40 foot truck/toy hauler combo. Hookups are there but we didn’t use. Washroom inside the barn. Beautiful, quiet property and beautiful horses on site you can walk around to look at. Would recommend for a quick overnight stop if camping all booked up in area! Thanks!

This place was amazing! First thing I would say, full hook ups! (Electricity, Water and Sewer). The places was very peaceful, amazing views of the mountain while walking around the property and of course, lots of horses! This is a place that I already am planning on brining my family back to.
Thank you so much for the your wonderful hospitality and for sharing such a beautiful place!

Lovely spot to camp just off the I-5! We had an entire field to ourselves with plenty of flat spots to pitch our tent for the night. Super cute cows on the property too! Would stay here again.

The Flying M Ranch is well set up for RVs, with full hook ups if needed. It’s very conveniently located close to I five, but not so close that you have a lot of traffic noise. The host is kind and always offers us a little grace since we move a little slow at checkout time. We got to watch some beautiful horses practicing in the stables and the friendly barn cat who is a handsome tuxedo, paid us a visit as well. We’ll be back!

We enjoyed our quiet stay here. It’s a nice open space so we had no problem maneuvering with our 34 foot rig. It’s not common to find a site with full hookups on hipcamp, but this site had power water and sewer- which made it very convenient. The owner was kind enough to take the time to text back and forth with us on Thanksgiving to make sure we had clear directions. Thanks for the stay and we’ll be back.

Flying M Stables
Nice quiet farm and horse stable property. Large beautiful field with evergreens for shade is available for dry camping. If you're needing some hookups, search for 'Flying M Stables Arena'. There you can find 2 RV spots with power, portable water and dump for a little more $$.

Such a beautiful place, lots of room for camping, and relaxing. Everyone was very friendly. We loved the barn cats and the highlanders. The horse pen was set up right next to camp and it was fun sleeping so close to our horse.
