Escape the hustle and bustle without losing the convenience of town. Our 7-acre property in Poulsbo offers a private, spacious field perfect for those looking to unplug. Separated from the main homestead by a natural pond and landscape, you’ll enjoy the peace and quiet you crave while staying centrally located to everything the Kitsap Peninsula has to offer. The Location Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or attending an event, you’re perfectly positioned: • 12 minutes to Silverdale • 12 minutes to the Kitsap County Fairgrounds • 16 minutes to the charm of downtown Poulsbo (“Little Norway”) The Space Your journey to the campsite begins at our front farmstand. You’ll enter the property here and head back through the field toward your private site. • The Drive: To reach the site, you’ll drive through the field directly from the main road. There is no paved road to the site, so please book only if you are comfortable driving across uneven field terrain. • Privacy and Sound: The camping area backs up to a road. While it is not a major highway, you may occasionally hear passing vehicles. However, the site is tucked behind a natural screen of trees and bushes, ensuring privacy from the road while you relax. • Nature & Wildlife: The nearby pond is a beautiful feature of the property, though it does attract mosquitoes—bringing bug spray is highly recommended. You may also see us working in the garden or spending time with our chickens and dogs. Campground Rules & Safety • Dry Camping: This is a primitive, “dry” site with no bathrooms or hookups. • Pack It In, Pack It Out: We take pride in our land—please respect the property by removing all trash when you leave. • Pets: We love dogs! However, because our dogs live on-site and the field is not fenced, all guest dogs must remain on a leash at all times. What to Bring • A self-contained camping setup (van, truck camper, or tent) • Plenty of water and a waste plan • Bug spray for pond-side evenings • A vehicle capable of navigating grass/dirt terrain

Wake up in the woods to fresh espresso pulled by certified baristas — yes, really. Forest Farm is a cozy camp tucked into 50 private acres of lush PNW forest, lovingly tended as part of our work as sustainable forest stewards and farmers. Great for couples, friends, and families with kids ages 7 and up. Our forest trails, hidden swing set, fire ring, and resident dragon make for the kind of woodland magic that kids love. Have a younger one? We consider littler adventurers on a case-by-case basis — just message us before booking. Working remotely? Trade your home office for the forest. With strong cell signal, reliable wifi, device charging, and a covered common area that makes a surprisingly good outdoor desk, Basecamp works beautifully as a weekday workation — deep-focus days among the trees, barista-made espresso instead of the office machine, and trails to wander on your lunch break. Ask us about midweek and extended stays. Just a short hop from the Seattle ferry, spend your days exploring charming Kitsap towns, kayaking the shoreline, beachcombing, or chasing the bioluminescence tours at Port Gamble — then come home to the quiet of the trees. Or simply slow down: wander the trails, find the swing set hidden like a secret, gather around the fire ring, and gaze up at a sky full of stars. Stay at Basecamp, our pair of charming wooden A-frame cabins near the farmstead, with common area, pellet stove, hammock, and fire ring all to yourself. Add our optional morning coffee service — guests say it makes the stay feel more like a rustic B&B than a campsite. Feeling adventurous? Venture into our back 40, where secluded clearings, creek access, and winding trails wait to be explored. Good to know: portable toilet, potable water, sink, and charging stations provided. Bring your camp basics and a sense of wonder.

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.
