Directions were great and camping area was well maintained and very private
Outhouse was functional and far enough away from camp site but not too far
Thank you for letting us stay on your beautiful property! We would love to return

Creeeepy campsite for the price it’s not worth it!!!
It’s cheaper to go to a state park with water and showers, cleaner area to camp than what was offered.
Unfortunately the camp site was nothing like the photos advertised. , it was extremely over grown, broken branches and trees, looked like no one had been there for a while. I got a real creeped out.
The out house and row boat were no where to be found.
I never heard from Sequoia as I let her know i was arriving or when I let her know I was going to check out other camping options.

It’s a peaceful little spot!
Note: it’s a fairly narrow entrance with vegetation on the sides/above depending on how much it has been trimmed back

The campsite is so perfect - private and peaceful, while close to the General Store. This is our third year here and we will definitely be returning.

A simple spot in the middle of a forest. Easy to get in. A couple height challenges from branches for my 9’ van. Very quiet and pleasant.

There were a lot of mosquitos.
The outhouse was unkempt.
It was very private.
Nice owls and other birds.
Would go back when we could have a campfire

Sweet little tent camp spot. Very private. Very relaxing. Quiet and peaceful. The sheep are adorable, if Sequoia is available I highly recommend meeting the sheep and checking out her beautiful sheep woop crafts. Bought an incredible sheep skin and some hand dyed yarn.

Overall was a nice spot for exploring the island. The spot to turn was not marked so we missed it the first time through. However, after we parked the host put up the sign next to the path you drive down to get to the site.

The toilet felt unsafe over a cliff & had no lighting. The campsite itself was clean. Hand sanitizer should be provided in the bathroom.

We enjoyed the peace and tranquility of Sequoia's property! It was the perfect home base to attend a concert at the General Store nearby and have a beach day too. We stayed 2 nights in a tent with 2 young kids. Our favorite part was the crazy amount of frogs around the pond this time of year! There was a slight difficulty with communication, but Sequoia said she'll reach out to Hipcamp to troubleshoot. Otherwise, this was a great spot and perfect for our needs. Thanks so much!

Over all our camp site was, safe secluded and close to the Guemes Island Ferry. Great choice if you want to explore the island or Anacortes but not so great if you want to explore the San Juan Islands because coordinating multiple ferry routes was difficult. The site was super shady and tucked back in the woods. We heard a bunch of coyotes howling at nite which was cool. The only living creatures that we had problems with were the mosquitoes. There were tons of them. They have a rather stagnant shallow pond that is near the campsite in the woods which most likely contributed to the pesky mosquitoes. We never met the host.

This campsite was amazing. Plenty of space, private yet close to the ferry. Beautiful view of the stars at night and shaded during the day.

Lovely secluded spot close to the ferry crossing but far enough back in the woods that you feel off grid. Cute little picnic table and cleared area but nothing else. Plenty of space for a large tent. I’d recommend backing your vehicle down the driveway to the actual site. Outhouse is serviceable but has no door on it and is farther down the path than you might originally think.

Cool dappled light in the woods. Sequoias was kind and helpful. Super convenient to the store which has a delicious restaurant. We made a flat spot for our two person tent, but you might be pressed to find a good spot to pitch a family size tent. Being in the woods, be prepared for some mosquitos in the morning and evening.

I can tell this is a beautiful property, but when I arrived, it looked like it hadn’t been maintained for awhile. Tons of tall grass everywhere, even surrounding the fire pit, and I wasn’t exactly sure where the campsite was given the pictures showing one area by the pond, but the table and benches in another. Anyways…my allergies went crazy and I had to vacate before I even unpacked, but maybe this will be nice for someone else? I didn’t hear anything from the host either which felt a little odd.
But still a very pretty property.

Sequoia's land is a very special place on a very special island... walking distance to the general store, to the sea, to a labyrinth (look it up), and other special spots. Campsite is set up with a table and benches, an outhouse (! such a bonus), and a fire pit near her majestic pond, though I didn't end up using it. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and recommend it to those who appreciate a peaceful camping experience.

Our campsite at Gaia rising farm was secluded and had ample room for our truck and tent. It was nice to have a picnic bench and be neighbors with the sheep. There were some construction noises going on nearby that were somewhat unpleasant but not sure how that could be helped. We left one night early because smoke blew in from fires in eastern Washington but overall it was a pleasant place to stay.

Such a cute site!
Pit toilet is a short walk down a wooded path. Trail to the pond (fire pit if no burn ban) and sheep! Fun to hear their bleating.
Great short bike ride to Kelley Point for beach walks.
Beat homemade jam at Country Store practically at the entrance to the property.

Perfect location near the ferry dock. We had a car but you could reach it by bicycle or even by foot.

Gaia Rising Farm is now one of my favorite campsites in the PNW. When we stayed, Sequoia was only renting one campsite so we had the whole place to ourselves. Our small group of 5 had a fabulous time and could have easily held a few more tents. The pond is lovely, albeit small, and you can walk down the road to beach access on this beautiful beach for a nice ocean swim in the morning. The wooded area is rustic but we found it perfect for the main 'kitchen campsite' and then you can put tents in a few different spots near the pond or in the woods. There is room for 1-2 vans but it's cozy. We had 3 cars and a 4th could have been fine if you back out the driveway.
Sequoia is fabulous and was super helpful when I arrived to setup. We walked down the road (15 min) to the Guemes General Store for a concert, and then drove to the Guemes Mt Hike for a fabulous view.
Highly recommend for a small retreat, campout, or family time even. Grounds are pretty basic, but that's the beauty of Hipcamp, you can sorta setup your own thing and make it unique.
Bring lots of water and maybe consider a hanging shower, walking up to the house for more water probably would have taken a few minutes.
The place is very quiet so not a party spot at all, and sound carries a lot so if there are two campsites being rented at your time of visit you may want to check in about who else is renting and if they are a party group or quieter. Laughter from the kitchen camp area definitely carries well to the pond area.
We had a lovely fire by the pond one night, I recommend bringing a small gas propane fire ($100 from Lowes) so you don't have to bother with smoke or fire risk in the summer.

This was a nice, remote and quiet spot in the woods, close to the ferry terminal and with a nice picnic table, fire ring, outhouse and pond. I was visited by deer and heard coyotes howling at night.

Gorgeous, wild and private campsite with sweet pond and row boat access, beach access. Lots of wildness and a proper outhouse. Thank you Sequoia!

The farm was lovely, and under other circumstances I could see this being a great trip, especially for families. Our experience was not that. When we arrived we learned that the host had no idea her site was live on Hipcamp and was surprised and disappointed when we showed up, did not have accurate contact information (when we asked if she received our calls or messages confirming our stay and site location she said phone and email were both not working/monitored) and having bad site conditions (we got deeply stuck in the mud and spent 8 hours building a “road” with sticks and large stones to get out).
The owner did help by trying to pull us out with a tractor but eventually suggested we abandon our van at her farm and come back in a few weeks to get it. We left after one night (had booked for two) after a friend towed us out so that we could get home and clean up.
We get that mistakes happen, and all the things that went wrong make this a truly funny comedy of errors. We would have still recommended this site, but when we asked for a refund, the host blamed our experience on us, saying to Hipcamp that we should have called to get directions despite acknowledging to us that she didn’t answer the listed phone because it didn’t work. The ironic part is that we called several times from different parts of the property to get directions even though the check in instructions said to navigate by gps because we wanted go be extra certain of our location and respectful of the property.
The fact that the host did not take responsibility for maintaining her listing or contact information, and blames campers for her mistakes, makes us wary for future campers. We hope this improves!
