Forest camping with a salmon stream. 10 acres of permaculture and mycology includes granite fire pits and loop trails with dispersed sites for tents, vans and truck campers. Enjoy a private island with a naturist beach. Bbq and disc golf basket. Hammocking trees at the viewpoint. Make campfire connections and find yourself here. 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 was the loveliest cabin! It had everything I needed and so much more. It was cozy, had so many thoughtful touches, quiet, clean, and beautiful! Highly recommend and can’t wait to be back. Prettiest outhouse you’ll ever come across too. Read that in someone else’s comment and didn’t know what to think till I saw it for myself. Everything about this place is thoughtfully designed and put together. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and sharing your farm and produce with me :)

Weekend Trip to Tahuya River Lodge Campground

Adorable place & ambiance, VERY well kept, hammock, string lights, large fire pit and right on the river. 70 degrees the first weekend in October and we were able to float in the swimming hole with provided inter tubes! Such a great find. 10/10 would go back. Initially surprised to be right off the road in a residential area but once you’re parked and setup it’s very private. We were in site #1, couldn’t see campers in site zero (fence) or site #2 (rv and mature bushes). Beautifully landscaped, well kept path to water.

Weekend Trip to Cedar & Strawberry Sauna & Spa

Loved this adults only oasis. It's a small grounds with only a handful of spots so it's perfect for those seeking solitude and respite, situated equidistant to two mid-size towns so convenience is never far away. Group of 4 elected strawberry camp, enjoyed its privacy. It's an uphill walk to the shared firepit, be advised may feel a bit steep. We enjoyed making fajitas and smores over the campfire and watching the stars peek out over the full moon. In the morning, listening to the sounds of nature and watching eagles soar overhead was amazing. Porta potty is in very clean condition, near pristine. These folks put a lot of care and heart into their place and it shows. This was our first go at a car camp adventure and we all enjoyed it. The hosts are warm welcomers and happy to walk you through the site. If you need recommendations for the area, please do ask them! They recommended us a fantastic place to grab lunch. Sauna was a terrific way to end our stay, alternating between the heat and the chilly fresh air outside was invigorating. This place is such a gem, especially for solo and couple travelers. Would stay again.

David was great on communicating and giving us good directions. The site was private, clean, and the view was splendid! We got up early to watch the sunrise with our coffee. What a treat. 🌄🌅 It was the perfect and easy one night camp before our trip down to the Oregon Coast.

Very cozy spot, beautiful setting. Check in and directions were very easy to follow.

The Magical school bus is an adventure you won't forget! Set on 20 acers of wooded forest. We have created a whimsical wonderland like no other. We think you'll fall in love with what we have created like so many other guests have. Our bus comes equipped with it's own kitchenette with cooking oils, spices, cook and serving wear, a very comfortable queen size bed plus much more, set in your own part of the forest.

Weekend Trip to Elfendahl Forest

Elfendahl forest was a magical, lovely, easy getaway from Seattle. The Wanderbus was well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub was a definite plus! Gary maintains the property so it is clean and has all the amenities you need. It’s hard to believe it is completely off-grid. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique “glammping” experience.

3 nights at Cedar & Strawberry Sauna & Spa

We loved staying with our truck camper and doggos at Alison's place. Alison and her partner were very friendly and welcoming. Their camping space and sauna/spa facilities were beautifully curated, clean and very peaceful. We loved all of the wildlife and bird viewing! Their property felt quiet and remote despite being very conveniently located - grocery, sani dump, hardware and everything else you could need is a short drive away. We were commuting to downtown Tacoma each morning and it only took us about 30 minutes. We'd definitely love to come back and would recommend this space to anyone.
