This is a gorgeous park-like RV campground situated between the trees of the arboretum. No tents, please. Also we have NO public restrooms. Beautiful view of the mountains and forests here in western Washington. We are close to Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier and several lakes. There are walking trails all around the site. The 12 acre campground is located on a 136 acre property that is an active Christmas tree farm. Trails continue throughout the tree farm. Many trails have a view of the Tilton River, which can be reached via a challenging 3/4 mile trail. Sites are on 10 acres planted with many different species of trees that are about 30 years old. Giant Redwoods, Cedars, and Maples are just a few of the varieties present. Part of the farm is still a working Christmas tree farm. The trails are wide and grassy. The old logging road that we use as a trail to the river has an elevation change of about 500 feet, the trail can be quite challenging. Bear Creek empties into the Tilton river at the end of the trail. There is an ART GALLERY where you can learn to pound flowers, see the host's artwork and get a cup of coffee! This is upstairs above the shop, right on the property. Tilton River Studio Gallery. Three sites have electrical hookups. Every site has a water spigot (use a pressure regulator if you want to hook up). No restrooms or sewer hookups. Garbage disposal site available Memorial Day to Labor Day. We look forward to hosting you!

Electric - Pond Site West

My new favorite campground

This is probably my new favorite camp ground. The site is enormous and all grass so my kids ran around barefoot all the time with no issues. The hike down to the stream was lovely and the stream is amazing. Crystal clear water with a shallow part the kids could splash in but also deep enough to swim in the center. So peaceful and exclusive feeling.

Electric - Mimi's Pond Site

Beautiful, serene, perfection!

We had an amazing camping experience at the Arboretum! Mimi's Pond Site was beautiful and had everything we needed (and then some!). The location is idyllic, sitting on this huge Christmas Tree farm, it's quiet and serene, with so many fun places to walk and explore. This will be a place we come back to year after year. Also, Barb and Terry are wonderful hosts, both so friendly and excited to tell you about their gorgeous property.

CAMP HERE

Would come back a million times. Barb &Terry were the best hosts. The property is full of beautiful surprises and each site feels very secluded from the others.

Blue Site

I had an amazing experience at this campground! The grounds are impeccably maintained, creating a beautiful and serene environment that allowed me to truly relax and unwind. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet, perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I also loved exploring the scenic trails around the camp area, which were great for walking and taking in the natural beauty. A delightful surprise was the local honey available on-site—an absolute treat! Overall, this campground exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat in nature. Thank you Barb and Terry for being great hosts.

Our second stay!! We love this property and the hosts. The river was inviting on the 90 degree day. We laid out under the stars for an amazing show of shooting stars. We will be back!!
