Be among the first to hang out in a quiet corner of a 35-acre forest in Van Zandt, a “blink-and-you’ll miss it” town along the picturesque Highway 9. This area is a common shortcut for people coming from Seattle or other points South on their way to Mt Baker. Hippie Forest has three campsites, each with a fire pit, a level place to pitch a tent, and space for parking one or two cars/vans (but no big RVs). A basic outhouse serves all three campsites. The sites are far enough apart that they offer privacy, but close enough that groups can hang out together with a very short walk. The sites are affordable because we believe camping out in nature shouldn't break the bank. The real joy in Hippie Forest is the tall trees, the distant sound of a train, the birds and other critters, and so much green it will make your eyes hurt. There are also a few trails to explore, and nice neighbors to meet. The South Fork of the Nooksack River is 5 minutes away. It’s a great place to cool off on a hot Summer day. Mt. Baker is 45 minutes to the East. Bellingham, with a pretty solid nightlife, is 20 minutes West. Vancouver and Seattle are 90 minutes away, and there are dozens of cool towns, parks and hiking spots in every direction. These campsites are a great for a small fire and quiet conversation (not a rager around a huge bonfire). They offer safe harbor, a jumping off point, and a natural spectacle.

Hippie Forest OG

100%
(3)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 21 ft
Hippie Forest OG is the original campsite in Hippie Forest. It is closest to the driveway, but large enough to accommodate groups with 2 vehicles and more than 4 people. (See pricing for group rates.) Parking spaces are fine for a car, truck or van, but not a big RV or car with a trailer. There are two a spots for tents and a fire pit. A simple outhouse is a short walk away. The campsite is nestled in among the trees on a 35-acre forest with several cabins and trails. Cabins are occupied, so campers should be respectful and stick to trails and driveways. A map of trails is available, and exploring the forest off-trail is okay. (Just don't get lost.) The property is about 5 minutes by car from the South Fork Nooksack River - a great place to cool off in the Summer. The surrounding South Fork Valley is quiet, picturesque, and a nice stop on the way to or from Mt. Baker. Hikes, bike trails, climbing, waterfalls, river access, parks and other opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors are all within reach.

Hippie Forest - Boatside

Booked 4 times
RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 21 ft
This site is a little bigger than the OG, with a little more space for parking, tents, and chairs around the fire pit. It's called "Boatside" because the parking spot is next to an old boat. (Want an old boat? Let's talk :-) This campsite is about 30 yards further along the driveway - far enough for privacy, but close enough that groups can hang out together. A basic outhouse serves both sites and is a short walk across the driveway. There are cabins in the forest, and people live there, so please be respectful of their privacy. They're all friendly, but check with the hosts if you need anything.

Hippie Forest Tolo

Booked 2 times
RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 21 ft
"Tolo" means "third" in Visayan, the native language of the property owner. This site is a little further along the driveway, big enough for a tent or two, and surrounded by cherry trees (though you may not know it unless you're here when they bloom in Spring). It is far enough from Boatside that you won't feel like you're camping on top of anyone else, but close enough that a group could camp at both sites and meet around the campfire with just a short walk.
