Jill's property was a perfect spot for my two-night tent-stay while exploring the Deception Pass area! The little cabin with a bathroom, fridge, microwave and sofa, etc., made my car-camping experience even more comfortable and convenient, especially when it rained throughout the second night. I'll definitely stay again when in the area -- thank you, Jill!

We loved our stay at Jill’s Upper Field! She was a fantastic host, came out to greet us on arrivals and make sure we knew everything we needed. Her sites are close to Deception Pass, so a great place to stay if you’re trying to spend some time in the state park!

It was great. Clean campsite. Awesome host. Loved having access to a small fridge and a clean bathroom and a sink to wash things in. It's very close to Deception Pass. Would recommend staying here.

Nice clean place, the host was very friendly and it was great having a place to shower and use a flushable toilet! She even had a fridge, microwave and a hair dryer available for use, which was a bonus! My only complaint was specific to the site we were in. Site B is right on the road, which wouldn’t have been bad if it wasn’t for the people who lived across the street. They were in their front yard staring in the camp site most of the time we were there. There was an old man coughing and spitting all morning, and their dog barked all hours of the day and night. Also, there is a motion light that comes on anytime some pulls in the driveway or walks by, which shined right into the site, which was not ideal. I would definitely stay here again but just not in site B!

Jill greeted us on arrival, showed us the water and electrical hookups and the guest house, then left us to our own devices. No other guests, so it was really quiet (as long as the Navy base jets weren't flying overhead).

lower field group site

Camp site is really nice and has plenty of space for a big group. Perfect spot for a families who enjoy outdoor activities. Good for beginner campers. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained, there is hot water you can use with no additional charge. Jill was very welcoming when we arrived. Overall we had a great time and would come back again!

The campsite was in a great location. We stayed in the rv/tent site. The site was large enough to spread out. The shower was nice and hot with great water pressure. Jill was on site and very helpful with any questions we had.

Lovely setting. The little guest hut with flushing toilet, shower, kitchen sinke, microwave and little shared fridge was such a lovely accomodation. Beautiful area close to many of the gorgeous state parks on Whidbey.

lower field group site

We stayed at the lower group camp area and could have fit way more than just our 2 trailers. It’s a lovely wooded area with 2 picnic tables provided. There is a short walk up the drive to the restroom/shower building. We enjoyed meeting Jill, she was so very accommodating and kind!

We really like our stay at Jill’s camp ground. We went on a Sunday night and stay over for 2 nights, with our 3 kids and international students. Jill and her husband are really welcoming and make us feel at ease. There was only one other camp taken. Camping is large . The bathroom, shower and kitchenette is really nice option. We were surprised by the army aircraft training that come to disturbs such a quiet place. But nothing too annoying and only comes and goes few times, and it is kind of normal when being so close from the Naval Air Station.

Wonderful hosts! Nice clean camping area with plenty of room and a nice little shower & bathroom. The Jets do you go overhead about every 5 minutes though.

We absolutely loved our time with Jill on Monkey Hill. It was the perfect place to rest and recover and relax and a great home base for exploring the island. Jill is an incredible hostess - and we loved meeting her.

Site "C" is a good one, large and surrounded by trees. It is right next to the outhouse which I liked. It was clean and not smelly. I didn't shower or use the communal kitchen but it was provided as it was promised in the description. Jill did her part to establish communication by messaging me twice through the App before my arrival but my phone was malfunctioning. This site is near to town and Deception Pass which can be a plus, but there is some road noise until about 11pm. It was a good stay!

Absolutely great camp site!

Tent · With pets ·

Jill, our host was absolutely wonderful, kind and accommodating. We requested to rent one of her sites the same day we came to town and she approved our request quite quickly. The location was fairly easy to find and the site was among the most gorgeous grove of trees. There was a cute little guest house with a bathroom that Jill let the guests use and her property is just lush and beautiful. Jill also created a horseshoe pit while we were there and we got to play! We will definitely visit again the next time we are in town. Thank you again, Jill!
