The Rivershack Baring

Such a wonderful camp site, nice and private with just a few neighbors around. It felt like living there and was so beautiful! Really close to the river and a nice central location for lots of great hikes and things to do. Michelle was super responsive, helpful, and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here, we had a fantastic time!

The Rivershack Baring

We saw the weather report for this week and spontaneously booked a campsite nearby Skykomish River. We were only able to book on the app 24 hours in advance, but Michelle responded right away and was able to modify our reservation so we could check in the next day and enjoy the beautiful weather for our entire stay. She was also super informative regarding what to expect for our dog(s), and also gave us a much needed reminder to bring a portable toilet. Great communication from this host. The river is down the street from the campsite. There are 3 river access points that we found. One spot by the road barrier is deep and wonderful for adults to swim. It's mostly rocky and steep in the areas easily accessible from the street where the campsite is. We enjoyed exploring the island across the river. If you can manage to get your kids across, (I just set them on an intertube and swam them across instead of walking in the shallow rocky parts) keep walking to the south side of the island, there's a very secluded sandy part with very little currents and is kid friendly! This area was very dark during the night which was ideal to watch the spectacular meteor shower. We really loved the clear turquoise waters, and gorgeous night skies the most. Thanks Michelle!

The Rivershack Baring

Michelle is an excellent host and went above and beyond providing us with info. It’s a beautiful place and the perfect base camp for mountain activities, with a nice fire pit, plenty of space, and privacy. The river is a 5 minute walk away, and it is beautiful.

Michelle was very responsive through the whole process. Made sure we understood the process and had a good time. The site was clean and area was quiet. The river was close and the locals are friendly. Highly recommended.
