Sweet Alyssum Farm

Beautiful property, private and comfortable campsites, and the perfect amount of extra perks made this a lovely stay. The property is so close to downtown Vashon that you can completely skip all prep and pick up food or things you forgot in minutes but it feels like you’re far out in the countryside. Signage was excellent and made finding our site from the main road so easy. The private fire pit and picnic table at each campsite allow you to feel secluded but the public outside kitchen and eating area give you an opportunity to socialize with other campers if you desire. There weren’t any other campers during our stay but campsites seemed well spaced apart. The honey bucket was a short walk away from the campsite , nice and clean. Spot 2 had really great tree coverage that made sleeping in easy and protected us from slight wind. Wild deer were cute, friendly, and innocuous. We can’t wait to return!

the campsite was so nice! lots of room for tents, trees that worked for hammocking and behind a hill so secluded from the other campsites and the road. all of the convenience of being right near town (and the outdoor kitchen came in clutch) but with the privacy of a remote-feeling campsite. will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our experience at sweet alyssum farm! Took the ferry over and it was absolutely beautiful. We reserved site 2 and the campsite itself had lots of shade and lots of room for activities! We had an amazing time walking the land and meeting the animals along side petting the pigs and watching the chickens. Overall I would definitely recommend camping here especially if you have kiddos, they’ll love the animals. The only complaint we had was the walk from the parking area to the campsite itself. It was a little bit of a walk and you’ll need some energy to get everything to the campsite and they’re generous enough to let you barrow a cart (which helped tremendously) but once you’ve got everything there you’ll have a wonderful time!! Thank you so much for the amazing experience we’ll definitely be back again!!

Beautiful and Secluded Campsite!

Tent · With kids ·

We absolutely loved camping at this spot! We had site #1 and it was perfect for kids, so much room to explore while still feeling contained to the area. We liked that we couldn't see the other sites and we felt super secluded despite being fairly out in the open (never heard a peep and only saw other people a handful of times). It takes a bit of strength to pull the wagon full of gear through the uneven grass, but it was a pretty short trek to our spot.

Quiet Homestead

A tranquil spot near town but very rural. We decided to try tent camping before summer ended. Site #3 has a big beautiful tree that shaded us from the rain (mostly) and provided us a dry spot to keep our bags. We had a perfect night for a fire! We enjoyed having a glass of wine in the cozy community tent - the party lights were a nice touch. The bathrooms were clean and having an outdoor kitchen to wash our dishes was a plus.

Beautiful, quiet spot, a quick drive from the ferry. Lucky for us we were the only campers there that night. The outdoor kitchen and sink are a nice bonus.

Worked for me

Easy and straightforward. You do have to walk-in (maybe a 5 min walk?) to the campsite. There are large pigs, sheep, and roosters. Planes fly overhead often on Vashon I realized. There is a great outdoor kitchen deck area. I was the only one there, and didn’t meet the hosts. I appreciated my same-day reservation being accepted. The location is great so close to the main strip of Vashon. I recommend eating at May’s and/or Casa Bonita!

A gem on Vashon!

We loved our two day stay at Alyssa's beautiful farm. Site #3 was secluded, so it offered great privacy and Alyssa was incredibly accommodating. If it wasn't raining on the weekend we came, we would love to try out the kitchen and all it's great outdoor amenities.

We loved tent camping at the flower farm! Site 1 wasn’t too far from the cars but there was a bit of a hill involved - thankfully the cart Alyssa provides made unpacking and repacking the car a breeze. Site 3 is a bit further but is a flat walk from the parking area. There was a nice table and built in firepit at the site. Alyssa brought us gorgeous flowers as well which added to the ambiance! The location is great because it’s so close into town - it almost feels like a hybrid of staying at an Airbnb and camping because we were got delicious Thai food for dinner and coffee and bagels for breakfast! I would love to bring a group of friends back here and maybe even book multiple sites in the future.

Opposites Attract in the Best Way

Tent ·

The Farm & camp blends contrasting desirable features:: located a 10 minute walk from Vashon Village, yet feeling like you’re deep in the countryside; Campsite #2 tent setup nestled in a woodsy nook looking out over an expansive, open meadow; and three rustic campsites with the conveniences of a common outdoor kitchen! The camp entrance was clearly marked from the road and the trail at night was lit with unobtrusive solar lights. Loved it all. Will return with other campers.

Flower power paradise

The site was spacious, had plenty of trees for shade, a nice picnic table and fire pit. We loved being walking distance to town. It was also lovely to see all the beautiful flowers growing on the property. They even brought us over a gorgeous bouquet. 10/10 would recommend, tell your friends!!

Some Really Nice features

Tent ·

I LOVED the community deck/kitchen! It is nicely built around thriving cherry trees, level, has a wonderful sink with faucet & 2-burner gas stove, and table with benches. Site 1 was not level anywhere, but it's camping, right? If I had a couple of tools I would have fixed the tie rod on that little wagon so it would be steerable. On the less sloppy path it was great to have for lugging my gear in and out of camp.

great location for strawberry festi

Tent · With kids ·

The location of this farm is great for strawberry festival! You can easily walk to town and not worry about parking. The tent sites are basic, but there is a great communal set up with a deck, lights, speakers, stove, sink with running water, and several dishes and pots/pans. Would have loved to know about these amenities in advance. Be forewarned, the music from the festival is very loud at the tent sites. But still glad we did it. Zero interaction with owners, which may or may not be your thing...
