Forest Den
Our stay at Nancy’s was so wonderful. She was a gracious host, and the cabin was so nice and peaceful. The murphy bed was really comfy, the shower was nice, and the cabin was well appointed (coffee, bottled water, etc). We had a great time at Nancy’s, and I cannot recommend it enough.

The Beach House Coastal Cabin
Unique experience
Beautiful, private and really unique! Feels like you have the entire coast to yourself. The sauna was a nice touch especially since it got kind of chilly and rainy during our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone. Very cool HipCamp!

Alder Perch
Highly recommend this distinguishable property! I stayed at the preserve for a few days so hopped around the various spots to get different experiences in and different views. The Alder perch site is a nice flat area that can accommodate a larger tent if need be. In general, I really enjoyed every site I stayed at, including alder perch. Alder perch’s location relative to the rest of the Property, was less about the ocean view and more about the forest/jungle setting. But a very short walk down to the bottom of the property and you’re immersed in the ocean views. In general, the property is serene, quiet and dynamic. I’ve been on the road for a bit and it’s definitely been one of the more memorable highlights of my entire trip. You’ll feel tucked away and isolated in amazing ways and immersed in what the Washington coast has to offer. You can indulge an awesome sauna, observe seals playing around, and enjoy beautiful sunsets against the water. Ian went above and beyond as well! Will definitely be returning :)

Strait Overlook
I stayed at the strait for my first night of various nights at other sites. The strait is a nice flat site with picnic table and can accommodate a small-mid size tent. I reeeally enjoyed this site because it felt private enough and I felt immersed in both the lush green surroundings along with a direct view of the water. Ian went above and beyond for the duration of my stay to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. The sauna was awesome as well and a perfect addition to some of the evenings when the temp dropped. I will absolutely be returning and highly recommend staying here for a unique and relaxing camping experience!

Van View Corner
Didn't work out for me
Site is very exposed, no privacy off the main driveway so anyone that comes down sees you right away. The pictures do not show the exposure accurately.
Ian the host met me out in the driveway and said right away it's for Van camping only because there is no privacy, that's not what the description states, I was offered another spot when I told him it wasn't going to work out for me, the space offered was right next to another camper, better for groups.
Ian was condescending when I messaged him the next morning re the innacurate photos, suggested I should read more carefully and intimated because no one else has complained somehow it doesn't make it true? I have a full size suv and was planning to car camp. Yes I read description over very well part of what I do in my profession.
My only dissatisfaction in the description is the quote by Ian: "This site is designed specifically with Van and car camping in mind!"
Had the images been more accurate I wouldn't have booked the campsite.
My suggestion to Ian would be to take pictures further back of the site so people get a better feel of the campsite.
I Airbnb and camp frequently, this is my first negative experience so..

End of the World
The camp site was quite remarkable. The view was beautiful. Unfortunately, the directions to find the location were very wordy which made them confusing. The camp “extras” that I paid for were disappointing. The sauna was not maintained and was only warm when we went in to use it at 9pm. A fire ban was instituted and I requested a refund for the prepaid firewood. I never received a response from the host and when we arrived, the camp host told us that propane was put at our site and that I’d be charged an additional $40 a night after the first night which was covered by the firewood I prepaid for. I told him I did not agree to this. He shrugged and told us to enjoy our stay. The next day, I stopped to tell the camp host I did not want the propane fire. He was very drunk, but said “no problem”. The money was refunded when I returned home, however the host never responded directly to my emails.
