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.

Welcome to the North Stilly River Yurt — your off-grid, magical dreamland in the forest on a winding river! 🌲🌊
Come experience a peaceful, secluded getaway tucked into the forest above the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River. This unique yurt sits on 5 private acres and offers an adventurous yet comfortable place to relax, explore, and reconnect with nature.
✨ What to Expect
You’ll park at a hilltop above the yurt and follow clearly marked stairs and a winding trail downhill (about 0.8 miles total) to reach your yurt and riverfront areas — a great way to stretch your legs and start your outdoor adventure!
Once you arrive, enjoy:
A 20' yurt with a comfy queen bed and space for additional sleeping gear.
A large welcoming
rock patio with fire ring, picnic tables, and BBQ.
Plenty of room to pitch tents down near the river or in the fern grove.
A sand bar and shallow areas perfect for exploring, playing, or cooling off in summer.
You can then creep along the trail further and come upon a nice flat, comfy greenery area to pitch multitudes of tents, have a swing in the hammocks, or play some yard games.
⚠️ Off-Grid Info
The yurt is fully off-grid — bring your own drinking water, food, and supplies.
There is no heat source inside the yurt, so plan accordingly for cooler seasons.
An outhouse is located on site.
It’s a perfect spot for groups, families, and anyone who loves the rhythm of the river, the rustle of the forest, and a true outdoor retreat.
And yet the magic does not end-- emerge further down the hill and you will come upon the glorious North Fork of the Stillaguamish River.
It is mighty during the winter months, but flows to a slow and shallow trickle during the summer making it a wonderful place for romping of children and pets alike.
There is also some swim holes if you need to truly cool your skin down.
The flowing Stilly has blessed us with a very large sand bar on our side of the river which has an abundance of flat, soft sand to pitch more tents on, and also build castles in for the littles.
Lastly, don't forget to catch the fantastic view of White Horse Mountain from the two seats that overlook the river!
Catch it during the day or during the night with the moon in front of the mountain.
You will never forget it!

Thirsty Creek Farm has been a 10 year project to create unique places to camp and stay with full appreciation of the beautiful mountain setting. 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.

My dog and I stayed in the Spruce treehouse and had the place all to ourselves. The treehouse was so fun and the site was very peaceful. We were able to relax on the comfortable bed inside and enjoy the beautiful view of the trees, have a campfire in the little fire pit under the treehouse, and thankfully had a warm shower in the bath house after a long hike. They are currently building an additional shelter on the large lower deck of the spruce treehouse, so that deck space is no longer available for lounging. They provided towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. They provided wood for the fire pit. The treehouse was simple inside and comfortable. I loved waking up to the birds and the trees. Heads up that you can hear the train when it goes by and it's quite loud, which surprised my dog in the middle of the night. We enjoyed our stay and recommend that you include this place in one of your adventures!

2 nights at Heron's Nest Botanicals
Lovely, peaceful, and just what we needed” are ftting words to describe Flicker’s Nest, located just 35 minutes east of Bellingham.
Merlin, a friendly bear of a dog, greeted us upon our arrival and Erick, his knowledgeable human and host extraordinaire showed us to our yurt and provided easy to understand instructions for its amenities, and we happily found everything to be exactly as described. One might think of a yurt with no electricity or Wi-Fi as “off the grid”, but ours had so many features (stove, heater, paraffin lamps, potable water) that functioned quite well and made our stay pleasant.
The spacious, heated bathroom was also very nice and just a few yards away, providing electricity, an easy-to-use self-composting toilet and walk-in shower with earth-friendly soap, shampoo, body oil and plush towels; perfect for after a strenuous hike in one of the region's gorgeous parks and wilderness areas.
We slept quite soundly amid the farm’s idyllic setting, thanks to a very comfortable queen-size bed with a plush, firm mattress, clean sheets, comforters and pillows, supported by an attractive hardwood frame (handmade by Erick and his two children). Two windows and a glass entrance door provided ample daylight, ventilation and nature viewing; in fact, one morning we were delighted to see a herd of majestic elk grazing peacefully in the meadow!
Now, how would I summarize this charming little getaway in a couple of sentences? “Don't miss this”, and “Our stay was too short

We stayed at the Big Bear cabin in late March. 2 adults and 2 dogs. It was a last minute trip, so we just stayed one night after a hike in the area. It was fun exploring the property and the cabin was comfy, cozy and clean, with is own toilet and shower. We had a campfire in the fire pit, and they have bundles of wood for sale on the property. Cabin has a little kitchenette with a small fridge/freezer and a 2 burner gas stove top. We would have stayed another night if the weather was better. We do hope to come back soon!!

Impeccable views from the cabin. Comfortable and clean. The wood stove kept the cabin toasty on a chilly night. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, teas and spices. There is a delightful collection of Buddhist texts to peruse, which pairs very well with the clean mountain air.

I will say that sound travels extremely easily through the house, so bring a fan or white noise machine if you are a light sleeper. (Though when the weather is warmer you'll be able to open the windows and hear the sound of the nearby creek)

Jaw dropping! The climb is steep so be prepared with a good vehicle! Every detail of the house is spectacular! The master bed could use a little help in the comfort but we slept in the living room for sunrise!!!!

1 night at Clear Light Valley Retreat
DeAnn is simply amazing and so is her gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 story cabin! I highly recommend this place to everyone who loves being outdoors or in, with a spectacular view of the mountains and a creek on the property! We absolutely loved the wood burning fireplace that warmed both stories perfectly! The couch is super comfortable and it reclines as well! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and if it’s not there, you can run to the store 10 minutes away or DeAnn might even offer it to you if you ask! She is honestly the sweetest, generous, kind, friendly woman I’ve met in a long time! She makes you feel at home in every way! My kids and best friend can’t wait to go back, we miss it so much already, 2 days wasn’t enough at all! Thank you, DeAnn for being the nicest person on earth, and for blessing us with a super late check out for my son’s 21st birthday! We can’t wait to see you again and look forward to the hike down to the creek together again, what an amazing memory!

North Cascades Hwy - Five ⭐
The North Cascades Hwy - Hwy 20 is as stunning as any Highway in the country and one of the best roads to ride in Washington.
The hiking off of Hwy 20 through the National Park area is expansive and Amazing.

Hwy 20 across Washington state is the best route across the state. It goes right through the park. Diablo Lake is a must see....the colors are amazing

North Cascades 🏔️❄️
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!

Beautiful views when driving into the park, we did a short hike at Cutthroat lake for late larches, was a beautiful sight to behold. Lots of cool hikes and less busy than other parks.
