GAEA (the old Greek spelling of Mother Earth) is the name of our property. Historically, Deep Creek Canyon was a winter encampment for the Spokane Indians, whose ancestral lands surround us. We feel the healing spirit of the land, in partnership and stewardship. Our original house was one of the first in the canyon, in the early 1940's. There’s a map of the 5 acres that leads you to hidden features, like the gypsy fortune-telling tea house, a fairy mound at the base of a huge fir tree, a yoga platform, and a Buddha bench for contemplating or conversation. We are in a forested canyon with a dark sky at night and plenty of wildlife.

Tent site · Sleeps 5
Site#1 A Forest Glade This is a private site that is good for a solo traveler as well. A short hike up the trail with your gear (wheelbarrow provided) brings you to a beautiful tent site looking out over the north/south canyon with plenty of shade during the daylight hours, and a moonlit evening with softly hooting owls and distant coyotes. Pitch your tent either on the earth or on the 10x12 platform in the pine and fir forest for a relaxing vacation in Nature. A couple of hammocks invite a nap, or conversation. A big picnic table is a convenient place to cook on your portable stove. What’s a camp out without a fire? Unless there is a burn ban, you have a fire ring and complimentary bundle of wood, hotdog forks, and a water hose to make the evening uneventfully perfect. In winter we turn the water off. However, we provide a couple gallons of water for fire suppression. Bringing bottled drinking water is necessary. A tinkle tent ( exclusively for your site) is nearby. Two chairs and log bench are provided. At the FarOut House, a deluxe solar shower and pedestal sink keep you clean and refreshed. Sanitizer is by the sink. We have a “pack it in pack it out” policy as well as “leave no trace.” Your hosts, however, will take care of the toilet. Daytime walks can lead you to a fairy garden, a stone labyrinth, a sweet “tea house”, yoga platform, and many meditation spots. Our 10 acres have been a delightful retreat from the busy-ness of urban life. Easy to get to. (If you are looking for more deluxe accommodations, check out our yurt information on the Hipcamp site under Yurt at GAEA Getaways).

#2. Tall Pines Family Tipi

Tent site · Sleeps 7
Near Spokane and Airway Heights. I check messages at 5:00pm. Please book far enough in advance for me to get back to you. This woodsy site is bigger than site #1, has two hammocks, an 10x12 deck and is closer to the FarOutHouse. We’ve added a 16 ft (diameter) tipi to sleep in. Also we added a sturdy swing that overlooks the camp. This is a great spot for family camping. (If you are looking for more deluxe accommodations for two, or a glamping experience, check out our yurt on the Hipcamp site under Yurt at GAEA Getaways). #2 Relaxed Family camping Nestle in the tall pines of Deep Creek canyon, relax in the hammocks, and sleep in a traditional 16 ft wide tipi. Bring a tent if you want more sleeping space. Just a 7 minute walk slightly uphill (wheelbarrow provided, and I have a golf cart that can help) on a beautiful trail to the private campsite. Cook on your own stove, bring your own bedding. Fall asleep listening to the nearby great horned owls, distant howls of coyotes, turkeys and night-hawks, and get an idea of simple pleasures of sleeping close to the earth ( a tent space on one 10x10 platform, and a hand painted traditional tipi ) in a beautiful pine and fir forest. We provide a private picnic table, a fire bowl and two extra chairs. This site is bigger than site#1, accommodates up to 7, has two sleeping areas, and is closer to the Far Out House. In keeping with our permaculture practices, a sawdust toilet is available in the FarOut House. Fire prevention and drinking water from a hose has been filtered twice, one for PFAS. A deluxe solar shower and pedestal sink keep you clean and refreshed. Sanitizer, soap, and paper towels are by the sink. You will be sharing the outhouse with Site#1. We have a “pack it in pack it out” policy as well as “leave no trace.” Your hosts, however, will take care of the toilet. Daytime walks can lead you to the creek, a fairy garden, a stone labyrinth, a sweet “tea house”, yoga platform, and many meditation spots. Our 10 forested acres have been a delightful retreat from the busy-ness of urban life.

#2. Tall Pines Family Tipi
Had a great weekend with the place to myself. The teepee was wonderful and very comfortable to stay in. Jane my host met me there and helped me get my stuff up the hill which was appreciated. Everything is set up so cute. I enjoyed the path down to the little pond and spent some time checking out Gypsy Rose. So peaceful and the crickets were so loud it was wonderful. Saturday night got to watch the lightning over the meadow. Overall an amazing little trip and I hope to be back soon.

I wish I had more time in the Forest Glen. It is my 2nd time staying in site #1. Just enough removed from everything. It is well kept and fairly quiet. Jane is a wonderful and compassionate host and has created a place that holds a little magic. I personally love to outdoor solar shower. Occasionally wild turkeys pass by as well as deer, and quail. I'll return again.

Jane (and Tony the chiwienie) are the perfect hosts and the campsite is shaded and tucked into the trees. There’s two hammocks, chairs around the campfire, a picnic table, and a tent platform so there’s no rocks under your mattress. I’ll be coming back.

Loved staying at the tent site! We really enjoyed the cleanliness of the outhouse and already having a picknic table and chairs set up was a cherry on top! The solar lights were also very nice and really sets the mood at night 👌 Jane was an excellent host and loved all her help getting our stuff in the golf cart! We will be back!

My daughter and I had a fantastic time camping here! The setup of the camp sites felt private and well taken care of. The donkeys at the rescue down the road and the swing were major highlights for my daughter, and we also had a great time exploring all the camp ground had to offer. It was so great, we changed our travel plans to stay here a second night on our return trip home. Jane was very kind and a lovely host. I'd highly recommend this place to groups of all sizes and ages.

Jane was wonderful and the campsite is now a measuring stick for all other campsites. It was so clean, has a level tent deck, comes with 2 chairs, 2 hammocks, a picnic table and a bundle of firewood with starters. The property was enjoyable to explore and you have privacy from everyone, even your own camping mates if you need to use the site bathroom shelter instead of a short walk to the outdoor bathroom, sink, shower, and a sawdust toilet. There was a water spigot and hose at the campsite so you could easily protect the property by watering down the fire pit as well as use it for a potable water source. It really felt more like an Airbnb with all the amenities. I just wish it wasn't so far away, but is absolutely first on my list next time I am in or near Spokane. I was able to get to Whitworth University in under 30 minutes. Very convenient location to Spokane.

I loved camping at Jane’s farm! It was peaceful, and absolutely beautiful. The first night I was here a deer got pretty close to my camp, got to see and hear some donkeys, as well as turkeys, and lots of owl activity. I love how Jane has themed the camp, there are fun things at every corner. Jane was polite and thorough about how to get to camp. Would definitely camp here again.

What a beautiful spot! This was a retreat-like setting. I loved the little pond and fountain, the wild turkeys wandering through the woods and the clean, welcoming setting. This is one of the nicest Hipcamps I have been to- much more than a place to stop for the night, but really a place to go, be and enjoy. I look forward to coming back.

I just wanted to take a moment to share how incredible our stay was. This was our second visit at such a remarkable place and we decided to share it with our entire family! (which only goes to show how amazing our first trip was!!) From the moment we arrived, Jane and John went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We decided to have our baby shower here to welcome our son Wolfgang to the pack! Upon arrival Jane & John didn't just welcome us, they made us feel like family. They even set up two canopies for the rain, ensuring we could still celebrate comfortably, which we did! It's rare to find people who genuinely care about your experience the way they do. Everything about the campsite reflected their hard work and dedication to a clean, organized, and beautifully maintained campground, and the hospitality is like no other. You can feel the care, attention, and heart that goes into every detail. This was more than just a stay, it was an experience we'll never forget. Thank you again Jane and Jon, for everything. We can't wait to come back! Warm regards, Ace, Pilar & little Wolfgang 🐺

This was my first Hipcamp experience and honestly it’s going to be tough to top. Jane was such a pleasure to meet and talk with about the property and surrounding area. It’s the details that make this truly unique and enjoyable. This place has been created by someone with an artist’s eye. My site was perfect for tent camping and preparing the meals for dinner and breakfast. A sturdy deck to put my tent on, a robust picnic table and chairs available. It’s a very short walk up to the unique bath house filled with fun memorabilia. Running water for the sink and shower (which when you time right, has HOT water!) I thoroughly enjoyed my short time here and would go back in a heartbeat.

We loved getting to stay here! The hay and blankets inside of the tipi were wonderful. There was a little rain one night and we were still nice and cozy. Jane was so helpful and thoughtful - she even left us some eggs for breakfast. They were delicious and such a thoughtful add. Our only regret is that we weren’t able to stay longer. Definitely would stay here again the next time we are near Spokane!

Jane’s land is beautiful and a very welcome escape from the city. Though only a quick drive to gas and food spots, we truly felt the peace and quiet of the woods. Her directions for arriving are very detailed and clear, and once we arrived, she helped direct us to our site and carry our heavy stuff up to the tent spot. We greatly appreciated the “far out house,” for a sink with running water, sawdust toilet, and the solar shower—a new experience for us! As is the case with ANY camping spot, come prepared for mosquitoes and gnats! We enjoyed meeting Jane and her dog Tony, and we would love to stay here again, especially for a longer time!

We were thrilled with our experience! It surpassed our expectations and we were expecting to love it. Jane was kind and joyful to share her property. The outdoor bathroom and shower were spotless and hippie in all the best ways. The tent campsite was so clean, and the platform made tent setup a breeze. I highly recommended this experience.
