One of our favorite places, the sites are beautiful, spacious and well maintained. Terry and Barb are incredible hosts, they are very responsive, friendly and accommodating. Our family loves the Arboretum, we've camped here multiple times and look forward to returning.

Beautiful grassy sites for boondock
Lovely quiet secluded campsites, with trees all around. There is a small playground in the center. The sites are very spacious and grassy. A wonderful place with Mountain View’s. My only complaint was the cost with no hookups, I’d stay again but not as often as I’d like because of the cost with no amenities. Overall very satisfied with our stay, our hosts were lovely people and very helpful when needed.

Dark Sky Camping
Barb and Terry make your stay at the Arboretum wonderful! It is so quiet, beautiful sunsets, very dark skies. You can actually see the Milky Way!! The grounds are well maintained. The hike down to the Tilton River is steep but the trail is maintained. We will definitely return!

Best Hipcamp Yet.
I don’t know where to begin. We loved everything about this site. We choose this site to use as a base camp for Mt. Rainier National Park and Mt. Saint Helens and it worked perfectly. The property was beautifully maintained. We have never seen so many perfect Christmas trees. The camp sites were very spacious with large grassy areas. We were lucky enough to be the only campers there for most of our stay. So, we felt like the entire campground was just for us. But, even if it was full, there was enough space for every site to feel private. The hike down to the river was very enjoyable albeit steep on the way back. And, the hosts were more than gracious. Barb checked on us just enough and promptly answered any question we had. She gave us a tour of her art studio which we very much enjoyed. She is an amazing artist. We truly hated to leave. Thank you Barb and Terry for letting us stay on your gorgeous property.

This place is gem!
I absolutely loved camping here! Spacious and private site, well kept and clean. Just us, the trees, birds, and fresh air. Thank you, Barb, for the opportunity to stay on your land. We hope to be back soon—I would love to take your flower pounding workshop.

Peaceful camping
We have been to the Arboretum multiple times. All sites are wonderful. Very private, peaceful and large. Barb and Terry are wonderful. It has become our favorite place to get away and unwind 😎

Quiet, relaxing RV spot
We loved our week at the Arboretum. The sites are surrounded by a huge mature pine grove of all types. Quiet and peaceful setting. Was a great launch point for Mount Rainier National Park and we played in the water at the nearby lakes and rivers. Loved loved the River Trail - this is a slightly intensive hike down to an ultra private segment of the river where we whiled away the hot afternoon in the cool, clear water.
Barb is an excellent host, she checked on us just enough and we enjoyed time in her art gallery and learning to fly drones with her. Note: there is no garbage on site so plan accordingly. Our site had a water spigot which made all the difference for our hot week long stay. We look forward to coming back in the RV. Thank you so much Barb!

This is our second trip to The Arboretum. Cedars is a gorgeous quiet spot to camp with friends. Our kids enjoyed the play area and we spent a wonderful afternoon paddle boarded at Ike Kinswa State Park down the road. We will certainly be back again.

Hidden Gem
Great place to get away from it all. Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Not a bad site at this spot. LARGE private sites. Barb is very creative and loves to share her artwork. Very quick to respond to questions and so helpful. We will definitely be back!! I’m almost afraid to recommend this hidden gem because I want it all for myself. We did the hike down to the river. For a couple of oldsters it took us awhile to get back up the hill but we did it and felt like we still have it. Loved visiting the gallery and seeing all the amazing artwork. So talented. Wonderful relaxing weekend. If you’re into noise, crowded campsites and loud neighbors this is NOT the place for you. Thank you Barb and Terry for sharing your place.

The Arboretum - Green Site
It’s a beautiful, open spot in the middle of tall trees. The area is immaculate and the hosts are incredibly nice and helpful. Barb came to our site to greet us soon after arrival. We had plenty of room for our 27 ft 5th wheel and a friends trailer as well. This was our 2nd trip and have already reserved a 3rd trip with our camping buddies!

Never Disappoints
This was our 4th trip to the Arboretum, and it continues to be the best HipCamp property we have experienced. Barb and Terry are wonderful to deal with and very responsive. The location is perfect for exploring the awesome nearby lakes and hiking but the property offers plenty to do if you want to remain on site. One addition Barb made since our first 3 trips is offering art classes in her art studio. My wife and daughter did a Pounded Flower Workshop and had a fantastic time. It was a great option for a day with less-than-ideal weather. We look forward to our next stay and highly recommend The Arboretum.

Second time at the Arboretum and it’s always amazing. Just so relaxing and beautiful. The host’s are always so friendly and inviting, It’s camping that makes you not want to go home. I hope to go back many more times!

Cedar grove
Barb and Terry's property is just beautiful. We stayed in the cedar area. We had cow visitors in the evening and a beautiful view of their field of wild flowers and grasses.
Our neighbors were playing music pretty loudly when we got there. Shortly after arriving Barb greeted us and asked them to turn it down.
We would definitely come back.

Mimi's Pond Site
camping in peace and quiet
We had an awesome time at mimis pond camp site. It was very quiet and serene. We went for 4th of July to escape all the noise and it met our hopes. The camp host had a gallery and held a fun art class for anyone that wanted to join. Also theres some very wonderful art to purchase in the gallery. There is a trail down to the river and some other areas to take walks around the property. Barb and Terry take exceptional care of the property, the ground are beautiful. You can offer wood and the deliver right to your site. You'll enjoy this site, I'm sure of it.

Can’t get enough
We had a blast our second time here, and even with every site booked, we had plenty of privacy and space to ourselves . Took advantage of a steep hike down to the river, and even got to check out the gallery! Do yourself a favor and bring the family for a safe enjoyable slice of nature!
Will be back to picnic on the river bed soon!
