Coho Cove

Black Diamond, WA · 1 site
This is a quiet lakefront oasis, only about 30 miles from Seattle, WA. It would be most enjoyed with a trailer or RV.
There is a pull-through making it easy to drive in and out. There is a lovely garden, large trees, a brick path, dock, and gazebo. A boat can be launched across the lake and tied up to a private dock. Water skiing, swimming and fishing are abundant here.
The lake is supplied with rainbow trout, and large and small mouth bass are here and even coho salmon at certain times of the year when it it time to return to their individual stream.
The lake itself is very picturesque with trees and houses, but no high rise hotels or condos.
There is a great number of birds who come here all year and some fly in during their migration.
Otters are seen here, and likely a beaver or two. In Coho Cove (my name for it), the buoys for boats to slow down are pushed way out, so the level of boat noise and wave action is reduced.
It is a pleasant, beautiful Pacific Northwest lake with lots of water fun and a real connection with nature.

We are so excited for the 2026 season! Book your full-venue rental now before spots fill up! We have been busy on some upgrades in the off season including new furniture for the deck site, new sit spots on the trails, new benches and swings located throughout the forest and planting privacy trees. Cant wait to see you this season!
We are located on a very private property (the only houses you will see are across the inlet) surrounded by nature but only about 10 minutes from downtown Olympia and 5 minutes from I-5 and Lacey.
The property is situated on the very south end of Henderson Inlet. We are on the tide flats so twice a day (at high tide) we have the opportunity to explore on the water in canoes and kayaks. The property is spread over 16 acres and is comprised of two large fields (one in front of our home and the other is a smaller meadow off to the side (hidden meadow) and forest land. There is tons of space for playing, exploring and tiring out your kids and pups!
Wildlife is abound with eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, shore birds and a variety of forest birds make this place their home. We are also frequented by the local deer who wonder through and say hi.
About the campground:
The campground is located in the far northeast corner of the property on the edge of the forest and meadow. In the common areas you will find the porta potty, shower and sink. There is also a supply closet that has the yard games and extra supplies. There is a hot tub situated right on the edge of the forest with peek-a-boo views of the inlet. You will also find garbage and recycling bins.
There are trails throughout the forest along the 600 feet of water (tide) front. Along the trails you will find several different benches, seats and swings to relax and enjoy nature from. There are also fairies and gnomes who have been sighted in the forest. If you look closely, you might spot one too! We ware, if you touch a fairy or gnome they do lose their magical powers so please respect the mystical creatures. 😊
The sites are about 500 feet from our house and offer great privacy. You may see us throughout the day and evening coming and going from the campground, working on the property or playing with the kids on the trails!

This is a camping location with ACCESS to the river, access to OUR farm land, ponds and DNR land. Our camp spots are private and not stacked on top of each other. Right now we have dry camping with outdoor honey buckets. We are wanting something that you can clear your mind, camp In peace. We also offer wood for SALE and all of our sites have wood burning areas. We also have ice and delivery services. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK
We are about 45 minutes from ocean beaches, only a few minutes from the best riding, hiking and boating in the world. We have a cute bar and restaurant within a mile. Also gas and groceries are close as well. Boat launch is about 1/2 a block easy access.
There is talk about sites at the river, we have some in their premature stage. This is NOT offered through our Hip Camp site!!!!! There are reasons for this: When we initially opened, we allowed people to camp there through Hip Camp and I was getting low stars ratings because Entitled people thought for $28 bucks, they got the whole river to themselves and would fight with other campers. IT JUST GOT TO EXHAUSTING. In the coming years I’m going to try to set up some premium sites on the river and work super hard at getting amenities that will match that price. But for now, Enjoy Camp Hope and the river ACCESS too!! We appreciate the wonderful feedback everyone gives it helps us grow with you!!

Guests love it here: "We stayed two nights at Curley Creek Canyon and loved the experience! Jerrett was a wonderful host and met us upon arrival with great recommendations of places to explore on his beautiful property. The camp sites are clean, private, and have fire pits, and benches provided. We took the roped trail down to the creek (bring gloves it’s a bit steep) and saw large groups of salmon swim upstream. This time of year is magical with the dropping leafs and lush moss/fungus sightings. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick getaway from the city to connect to nature. Thanks, Jerrett for the experience and look forward to our next visit!"

This is a gorgeous park-like RV campground situated between the trees of the arboretum. NO TENTS, please. Also we have NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. Beautiful view of the mountains and forests here in western Washington. We are close to Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier and several lakes.
There are walking trails all around the site. The 12 acre campground is located on a 136 acre property that is an active Christmas tree farm. Trails continue throughout the tree farm.
Many trails have a view of the Tilton River, which can be reached via a challenging 3/4 mile trail. Sites are on 12 acres planted with many different species of trees that are about 30 years old. Giant Redwoods, Cedars, and Maples are just a few of the varieties present. Part of the farm is still a working Christmas tree farm.
The trails are wide and grassy. The old logging road that we use as a trail to the river has an elevation change of about 500 feet, the trail can be quite challenging. Bear Creek empties into the Tilton river at the end of the trail.
There is an ART GALLERY where you can learn to pound flowers, see the host's artwork and get a cup of coffee! This is upstairs through the check-in entry-way. Tilton River Studio Gallery.
Three sites have electrical hookups. Every site has a water spigot (use a pressure regulator if you want to hook up). No restrooms or sewer hookups. Garbage disposal site (dumpster) available Memorial Day to Labor Day.

*Tent Camping Only* If you plan to sleep in your car, this is not the campground for you.
Tuck into your private campsite amongst the trees with sweeping field and farm views. Sites are spaced apart from eachother, nestled along a forested tree line. These tent sites are about a 300ft walk from the parking lot, and vehicles can not access the sites. Each site offers a picnic table and fire pit.
*Please pay attention to the fact that these are walk-in sites, and you'll be hauling your camping items from the parking area over uneven ground. We provide a cart to help tote your items, if needed. Pack accordingly*
There is a communal central deck for camper's use, with a sink, propane stove, some cooking utensils, power outlet and a hose bib. A communal port-a-potty is available to campers.
The working farm fields are not open to campers, but can be admired as a backdrop. Wave hi to any farmers you see out there working! A You-Pick flower patch and farm stand at the entrance of the property are open for frolicking, picture-taking and flower-picking seasonally.
You'll see bald eagles, hear owls and watch deer pass through your camp. But you are only about a 5-10 min walk from town! This does mean you'll often hear music from events on weekend evenings, and plane traffic does fly overhead. Vashon is quiet and full of nature, but you're not out in the middle of nowhere! We hope you enjoy all that there is to do here, and create some great stories :)

Step through the veil and into The Enchanted Forest — a hidden realm of ancient cedars, rushing creeks, and whispering moss. Just beyond the Ashford town center, this sanctuary invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover wonder. Follow winding trails to a waterfall, sit quietly by the fire, and let the forest remind you what stillness feels like. This is more than a campsite — it’s a sacred space, a portal into another dimension of peace and connection.

Awsome place! Lots of area the kids can play in between spots. There is an awesome river trail that is a quick hike. We love it and we will probably come back! No lighr pollution or noise pollution. You can legit hear the toads and birds! Quiet, just what we wanted. They also have cheap firewood bundles (big bunlde)on site that you can pay cash. There are more activities that the host offer we just did not participate on it like a art class and art gallery and they sell local honey. We booked the RV concord site its was an awesome memorial day weekend

This spot is beautiful and secluded. The other spots in the camp are well spaced and you have beautiful access to the Tahuya River. It does take some time to get out of the spot and around to Union or Hoodsport to reach some of the restaurants we went to, but they were all well worth it. Hook and Fork and Hoodsport Oyster Bank were fantastic. We were disappointed we didn’t have time to eat at Hama Hama Oyter Co.

We loved dry camping on Lisa’s property. The site was a small
field that overlooked Poverty Bay with a amazing view of Mt Rainier. Well maintained! We were the only one’s there, so we picked a great spot for RV right at overlook. Access to beach was great! Everything was awesome!! Downside for a large RV: it cost $141 to get on island. Free to take RV back to mainland. $7 per adult to take water taxi to Seattle; another $7 to return. Also it’s about as far south on the island as you can go and it was difficult finding a ride share to take us to ferry to go to Seattle. No Ubers or Lyft drivers on island. There are however, several individuals that will drive folks around. Bus only travels so far. Really appreciative of Lisa and her letting us spend two nights on her property. One of our favs!

We car camped with a tent for 2 nights. The spot is gorgeous. Huge ferns, trees, deer, and an eagle greeted us. There is no table or toilet, but we brought our own. We liked the ease of travel from Seattle and having town close by while also feeling like we had our privacy. We’d love to stay here again.

I appreciated the addition of the flushing toilets to the campground, with little sinks too. We loved spot #2, where you can clearly hear the river from your tent. We also heard owls calling to each other during the night, which added to the ambience. It was relatively easy to get to the riverside for my father, who is older, and my little boy.

The Arboretum was the perfect retreat for my husband, dog, and I. The grounds were beautifully kept and each campsite was huge. The lawns there rival a city park. It was truly a gift for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. The owners, Barb and Terry, were very cordial and welcoming. It is apparent they have put alot of work and love into the property to make it a great destination!

Maury Island Marine Park is a very simple, yet pleasant spot to camp. We came with a boat too heavy to haul up to the kayak racks but had enough beach to stow it in among the beach logs. The campsites were clean with large, level tent spaces and a picnic table. The view of Mt Rainier is hard to beat. Some of the tent spaces are a little close to one another but we were the only ones camping so it was not an issue for us. Since we like simple, quiet campsites, this gets our top rating.

We took our toddler on her first camping trip and we had a great time at Cedar Crossing (RV site). The added firewood option was a nice touch by the hosts. Additionally, Brittany provided helpful information to find the site and approved our request for an early check in. Overall, we were happy to have a successful 1-night trip with a toddler. Would be happy to stay here again.
