Camp Keyser is a wooded 5 acre parcel in the mountains, near mountain loop highway - in the center of everything wonderful in the northern cascade mountains. We have one private cabin and 6 campsites. Tent campers will enjoy the lush landscape of a mature forest with sites along the (seasonal) Thirsty Creek. Nearby (3 minute walk), users can contemplate views of Whitehorse Mountain, Jumbo Mountain, Glacier Peak, and Whitechuck Mountain. This part of the Stillaguamish valley and the adjacent Mountain Loop Highway is known for a great selection of hiking trails, at all skill levels. It is perfect hub for all of your outdoor interests. The trailhead for the summit of Whitehorse Mountain is just a mile away, as is Old Mine Road trail (45 minute hike ending in 2 waterfalls). A 15-20 minute walk takes campers to a swimming hole in the cool Stillaguamish river for a dip or a paddle. Even closer is Whitehorse Regional Trail (great for biking, walking and horseback riding) built on the bed of the former BNSF railroad through the North Stillaguamish River Valley, spanning over 27 miles. The nearly level trail meanders through the valley, rewarding visitors with picturesque, landscape views of forests, farmland, streams and rivers, and mountain vistas. Sites have a generous fire pit and access to a Porta-Potty. For bathing I recommend cool dip in the Stillaguamish River. In season there is also fishing, snowshoeing, concerts at the blue grass festival grounds, a rodeo, and so much more.

We are on a five acre wooded parcel at the top of the Stillaguamish River Valley (near Darrington). The North Cascades National Park is just 40 miles away, but there are great places to hike, rivers and waterfalls to see so much closer (some within walking distance). It is about a 15 minute walk to a good swimming hole in the "Stilly" river. Originally built for us, the tiny cabin is now available for rent. We lived in this Cabin for 5 months while we were building a house on the property. The bed is a queen size memory foam mattress, with seasonally appropriate bedding. We provide a mini fridge inside for your perishables. Bring a cooler if you need more space. We have 2 propane cooktops, one outside and one in the pantry. There are electric lights and enough power to charge your electronic devices. There is an outdoor kitchen for washing up and a rainwater outdoor faucet. The toilet is a flushable camp toilet. The Tiny Cabin is our premier off-grid accommodation. With full views of Whitehorse mountain and a limited amount of solar electric power the small cabin is the perfect cozy getaway for 2. For families we can add a cot or 2 for a total occupancy of 4 (but very tight). Extra guests are $10/night per guest. If you want to make it a group, there's plenty of space to put a tent adjacent to the Cabin, and even a space to park a small camper/Van. Additional parties are $40/night. Maximum People on site is 6. Winter campers: In Winter we do not have water (due to freezing), but we supply you with 5 gallons of potable water in a jug. For heat, we are insulated and we can provide a small electric heater to keep the chill off. The woodstove is more than adequate to keep the place warm and we do have wood on hand. Summer Campers: Once we turn the water on in spring the cabin has heated rainwater for showers and for washing dishes. We also have a cold water rain shower outside.

Weekend Trip to Camp Keyser Forest Camp
Second time staying here, and it’s one of my favorite local get aways. You feel so secluded, but it’s only 90ish minutes from Seattle. Bed is ridiculously comfy, and it’s a great way to reset off grid. Lots of great hikes nearby, too. It’s definitely cosy, so recommend preparing food in advance so you can easily cook without tripping over each other. You’re close to a highway so you’ll hear car noise, but it doesn’t bother us at all. The lane is quiet and a great walk with the dog in the am to see the cows

Reg’s hundred acre wood is a charming mix of huts and outbuildings new and old. The vegetation overgrowth and misty air conceal various construction materials and antiques around the property. Dishes and coffee are available, and the BBQ worked as long as you can squeeze into the narrow place where it’s situated. The washroom is cute, the kitchen is slated for demolition, and the cabin we stayed in was warm. Reg was enthusiastic about showing us around the property, and introducing us to the sheep.

I was at the Mountain retreat with my daughter and 12-year-old grandson. We were all awed by the home, the views, and the sense of beauty. DeAnn made sure we were settled in and let us know she was available quickly if we needed her help. This home provided just what we needed. We had space for our alone times, great cooking and eating together times, and space to hang out together.

Such a beautiful cabin, we stayed there with our in laws in the fall and it was so cozy. The view is stunning and so much space for our dogs to run around and play! Loved the wood burning stove, kept the place so toasty and with the rain it was such a vibe. Would absolutely be back! The host was so kind and responsive as well- she lended us whatever we needed and helped us get the fire going in the cabin.

There’s a cozy washroom with a clawfoot tub and hot water and a kitchen both only a few steps away. The property itself is stunning! Lots of hiking to explore and a volcanic grotto that had some of the most incredible rocks I’ve seen. This place is magic!

This cabin was amazing to stay in! Me and my fiance had a great try getting cozy by the fire and watching the mountain at sunrise. This was one of our favorite glamping adventures by far. There are some beautiful hikes near by and the Cabin was perfect and cozy in the cold evening. I recommend this cabin sight to anyone who is looking to reconnect with nature and there special someone. Thank you for everything!

We absolutely loved this property. De Ann was a fantastic host and quickly responded to any questions we had. The view at this cabin is amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice. I enjoyed being able to have a fire outside and just take in all the natural beauty. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Had a short stay here last minute in the cabin and it was wonderful! Definitely would love to come back another time for longer so I can explore the property more. The cabin has a top bunk bed and a full sized futon that was actually very comfortable. The bottom bunk is two benches with a table which was nice to eat and play cards on. There is a campfire pit and a compost outhouse which was very clean and nice. A snack shack is available where you can purchase stuff with cash or Venmo. Hope to be back next year!

27mi from North Cascades National Park · 75 sites · Rockport, WA
Howard Miller Steelhead Park stands out as a unique destination due to its rich history and diverse recreational offerings along the stunning Wild and Scenic Skagit River. Established through the vision of Howard Miller, a dedicated Skagit County Commissioner for 16 years, the park was officially dedicated on December 2, 1982. The initial 15-acre land purchase included 39 campsites equipped with electrical hookups for RVs, tent sites, a picnic shelter, and restroom facilities, making it an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts. The land for Howard Miller Steelhead Park was acquired from Burlington Northern Railroad, Seattle City Light, and private sources, with an additional 88 acres added in 1989 from Summit Timber Co. This expansion further enhanced the park's appeal, providing visitors with ample space to explore and enjoy nature. Visitors to the park can engage in a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, river rafting, biking, and hiking. The surrounding area is rich in history and wildlife, offering excellent opportunities for viewing local fauna. With its beautiful landscapes, swimming holes, and proximity to local restaurants and shops, Howard Miller Steelhead Park is a perfect getaway for families and outdoor lovers alike.

Stayed in the Cascades for two weeks around winter 2025 - plenty of hikes to try out with amazing views. It gets snowy during the winter months so be prepared for the cold and make sure your car is equipped!

North Cascades is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been! As someone who visits many national parks, this one is majorly under-hyped. It was absolutely gorgeous and one of my favorite places I’ve hiked!

Hidden Gem in the North Cascades
Hiking the Hole in the Wall trail to Dagger Lake was tough but absolutely worth it. The path winds through rugged alpine scenery, and when you finally reach the lake, it feels untouched—quiet, cold, and stunningly beautiful. It’s the kind of backcountry spot that makes you feel small in the best way.

Newhalem Campground
Newhalem campground was nice. It was well-maintained and the spaces were decently sized. We stayed in Loop A for one night and Loop C for the other. The Loop A site had two nice tent pads and was close enough to the river to hear it. The Loop C campsite didn't have a tent pad but had level ground for the tent. Both loops had a flush toilet facility that was kept fairly clean and worked well. They always had a potable water station directly beside it, along with the dumpters. None of the sites were very far from the bathroom facilities. The campsites were always fairly close together but not so close that you felt like you were on top of each other.
