Property is a 5-acre gated horse farm surrounded by wooded military property on 3 sides. Conveniently located 15-20 minutes from Tacoma and Olympia. Just 5 mins to Starbucks/coffee and grocery stores but far enough away from the city so it feels more secluded. American Lake and Spanaway Lake (and their parks with playgrounds) for swimming and paddle boarding are both just 5 mins away! The owner lives on site, as well as several horses, chickens, and a dog. Large stone fire pit with chairs near house is available for camper use. Pending: Paddle board rental and bicycles for use on property or trails! Set-up your tent anywhere within the horse paddocks - there are no specific sites, although there is a small fire pit and rustic bench seating at far back corner of property. Tents can be outside of horse areas as well, if preferred. RV dry camping anywhere within or outside horse areas. For RVs needing dedicated electrical/water hookup, there are specific sites closer to the house. ***If you are travelling with more than one vehicle, please purchase an car extra parking spot.*** Only four 30amp RV spots are available and are most easily accessible for Rvs under 30'. Standard 110volt outlets can also be available for RV use. Woodbrook Hunt Club, the oldest fox hunting club west of the Mississippi, is a neighbor so lots of horseback riding goes on in the neighborhood. (Dragged scent only, no live foxes are harmed.) Private horseback riding lessons or guided trail rides available by reservation only, subject to weather and owner availability. Use of military trails adjacent to property for hiking and bike riding subject to open land usage and permitting by military base. Happy HipCamping! 😊

Tent camping, paddock + pines

Tent site · Sleeps 2

If you want to be close to horses and have convenient access to I5, camping under the madrona or pine trees in the back of my private gated farm could be for you! Area is fenced off for camping so you won't be in with horses, but adjacent to one if wanted. There are areas available that are not close to horses. No specific tent sites, just setup anywhere on the back 3 acres. Please park in main parking area behind house and walk back to far southeast end of property. Some driving back there is OK on case-by-case basis if I'm home to open gates and make sure horses don't escape. Primitive fire pit in the back, but can use picnic table and large fire pit near the house. Porta-potty on site near the barn, great well water to drink, cell service for most carriers. You can see my house and the neighbors from the back pasture so you won't feel like you're completely in the middle of nowhere. Great for first-time camping with kids close to the city as it's safe and easy access, or an easy stop off I5.

Site 4 is closest to the road as it's adjacent/in front of my garage, but it's the most private away from any potential foot traffic to the horse pastures/barn, other campers, etc. Grassy area with view of pasture off to one side and my front yard (which I don't use) off to other side.
