The *Purple Cottage* -- was found & salvaged (recycled!)-- moved onto the back of my property in 2012. This 16 X 12' place has been my studio in the past, but has offered overflow for friends & ; family. Nestled in the woods and ever-so-private, the cottage has a pull-out double futon, plus a small sleeping loft and can accommodate 1 -2 nicely (we will consider 3 if you have a small child, but it would be a tight fit!... There is a very small sleeping loft in the cottage.). There is a “en suite kitchen in the cottage that has a small fridge, microwave, and two burner stovetop cooking unit. The cottage offers privacy in a wooded garden setting. The bathhouse, with hot shower, vanity and; toilet --are all steps away (and covered) from the main cabin. The Purple Cottage sits on a shy wooded acre, with greenbelt buffers all around, maximizing the sense of privacy. our vintage Shasta Trailer across the driveway of the Purple Cottage is currently used as a music studio (and rarely as family/guest overflow), and I have my own small Artist Studio located also on the back of the property. Even with all the little enclave of buildings, The Purple Cottage retains a private feel all to itself, with reliable Wi-Fi available at the cottage. . It is located in a quiet little neighborhood, about 6 miles from Langley & 6 miles from Freeland.. Private beach access is across the road and a 15 minute walk up the street, where you can beach comb & explore the shoreline out at our little point. The private deck off the side of the Purple Cottage offers views of the gardens & flora, and has a little gas barbecue. There is also a delightful hot tub on the deck, which is a wonderful feature. An outdoor kitchen on the edge of the woods allows a roomier “camp cooking” experience with Colman stove & cold running water (season permitting). We are located 6 miles from the picturesque town of Langley and equal distance from Freeland, on the south end of Whidbey. Our area is very *bike-able* and either direction will get you to town! The Purple Cottage offers a rustic retreat in a place that feels far away, but is an hour & a half from the bustling city of Seattle!

8.4mi from Camano Island State Park · 1 site · Lodging · Coupeville, WA
This land has passed through many families but was first "managed" by Salish Indians who burned the prairie and harvested native plants for food, medicine, clothing, charms and more for 10,000 years. When European settlers arrived in the 1850s, burning the prairie all but ceased and that, along with the introduction of many new exotic species of animals, crop plants and weeds, began the degradation of the landscape. Over time our site was used to graze sheep and then raise pheasants (from 1944-1999). It was slated for housing development but several citizens rose up and prevented that from happening. Now the Pacific Rim Institute, a private nonprofit organization is the steward of this precious jewel of central Whidbey and the Pacific Northwest. We have a five-acre remnant prairie with over 80 species of native plants - critical to the restoration of degraded lands throughout the Salish Sea region. We have over two miles of walking trails for you. They traverse our prairie, savannas and forests. The land is full of color when the native wildflowers bloom from early spring through early autumn. We have a Native Plant Center where we grow up to 50 species of rare native plants. Ask us for a tour.

Over 100 years ago, this property was logged of all of it's old growth conifers. Well, things have been growing here ever since. There are many old growth stumps dotted around the property; many acting as "nurse or Mother logs" to new growth. We have been here for 30 years & have select logged keeping the integrity of the property in tact. These trees know they are loved and honored. They are happy & it shows. You feel the vibe a soon as you drive up. Since then we have blazed trails & carved out campsites & campgrounds throughout. All of them resembling nature's little carved out "rooms." We have enjoyed this property for these past 33 years. We have shared it with family & friends time & time again. There is so much love & positive energy breathing within these boundaries. I have been very fortunate to have been able to share this place. Now, thanks to Hipcamp, I can share it with you & your family & friends. Let Mother Earth's Pocket host your next family camping trip. Looking forward to it. We'll leave the light on for y'all!!

Imagine a magical property made for camping. It's located in a secluded forest, surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery. The air is fresh and clean, the sound of birdsong surrounds you. There are limited signs of civilization, just you, the forest, and the stars. The property is perfect for camping. There are several campsites to choose from. There's also a communal area with a large fire pit area. The property is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable camping trip. The best part about this magical property is the magic. There are fairies that live in the forest, and they love to play tricks on campers. They might steal your food, or they might lead you astray. But they're always good-natured, and they'll never do anything to hurt you. One night, you're sitting by the fire pit, telling stories with your friends. Suddenly, you see a shooting star streak across the sky. You make a wish, and without thinking twice it comes true. You spend the rest of the day exploring the forest. You come across a hidden hiking trail and follow it to the beach.. You have the time of your life at the magical property. You make memories that will last a lifetime. And when it's time to go home, you're sad to leave. But you know that you'll be back someday. The magical property is a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a place where you can relax and reconnect with nature. It's a place where you can make memories that will last a lifetime.

Finish your tour of the tulips fields with a restful evening at our farm and a good night's sleep in the trees. We are a working hobby farm with horses, alpacas, chickens, bunnies, dogs,and cats. There heritage apple trees which means they are over 100 years old and unusual varieties such as Blenheim Orange and Benoni. We also have pear trees, a cherry tree, and a kiwi vine. Activities on the farm depend on day, month, season, & weather. You may be woken by the snuffling sounds of a horse grazing nearby. The camp greeter/hostess, Lily the collie will come to visit, maybe even take a nap. We also offer horse boarding which includes a pasture that is next to the campsite. We are minutes away from Warm Beach Conference Center, Kayak Point Park, and the 7 lakes area. People who visit marvel at the peacefulness. Come, relax, listen to the birds, enjoy.

8.4mi from Camano Island State Park · 1 site · Lodging · Coupeville, WA
This land has passed through many families but was first "managed" by Salish Indians who burned the prairie and harvested native plants for food, medicine, clothing, charms and more for 10,000 years. When European settlers arrived in the 1850s, burning the prairie all but ceased and that, along with the introduction of many new exotic species of animals, crop plants and weeds, began the degradation of the landscape. Over time our site was used to graze sheep and then raise pheasants (from 1944-1999). It was slated for housing development but several citizens rose up and prevented that from happening. Now the Pacific Rim Institute, a private nonprofit organization is the steward of this precious jewel of central Whidbey and the Pacific Northwest. We have a five-acre remnant prairie with over 80 species of native plants - critical to the restoration of degraded lands throughout the Salish Sea region. We have over two miles of walking trails for you. They traverse our prairie, savannas and forests. The land is full of color when the native wildflowers bloom from early spring through early autumn. We have a Native Plant Center where we grow up to 50 species of rare native plants. Ask us for a tour.

The best camping in Camano Island State Park, WA guide

Overview

About

Driftwood-strewn beaches and a secluded coastline with views stretching across Puget Sound await at Camano Island State Park. While other state parks on the area’s more popular islands feel overrun, Camano Island is usually quiet. But the park doesn’t skimp on attractive features: visitors can take forested hikes, walk the beach and connect to nearby Cama Beach State Park, launch a kayak, or set crab pots. The park’s campsites are open to tent camping and RVs, and there are some set aside just for those arriving by foot, kayak, or bike. 

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Camping is available at the state park from May through September. 
  2. RV and tent campsites can be reserved in advance online. Because this is a less popular state park, the campground does not always book out very far in advance. It’s one of the best places to snag a last-minute reservation. 
  3. Cabin rentals are open year-round with a two-night minimum, bookable online. Unlike the campground, the park’s five cabins are often booked very far in advance, even during the week.
  4. All reservations can be made nine months in advance at most.

When to go

The park is open year round, and is beautiful any time of year. The park is rarely crowded, though it can be on the busy side on summer weekends and holidays. The park’s trails and beaches are accessible any time of year, though visiting outside of summer will mean you share the area with few, if any, other people. If you’re interested in setting crab pots, check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website for season information and restrictions. The crabbing season generally runs July through September.

Know before you go

  1. The park holds interpretive programs on summer Saturdays. 
  2. The largest nearby town is actually located off the island, in nearby Stanwood. Stock up here before heading to the park.
  3. Cabins can sleep up to five and have heat, electricity, a refrigerator, and a microwave. They also have a grill, picnic table, and covered porch. The cabin area has a shared bathhouse with showers and restrooms.
