*Picnic table coming mid July Toilet with nonpotable water/sink available from April through October. *only 1 campsite-complete privacy and quiet. The Navy OLF is nearby.

Nearby wetlands provide lots of food for birds, bats, and dragonflies. Other wildlife you may see are deer, bunnies, owls, quail, butterflies, garter snakes, and raccoons. Lots of native flora can be identified with your plant identification app or book. The beach is about a mile away where you can hunt for sea glass and enjoy the waves or build yourself a shelter out of driftwood.

We have several dry tent sites and 1 RV site nestled on this beautiful treed lot. Another RV site and cabin rental coming soon. Listen to the birds and other sounds of nature as you sit by the fire. Site is currently dry (no power, running water or electricity) but a portable sink/toilet is available in the two “little” sheds or visitors may use their own portable camp toilet. Site is about 10 mins from the Coupeville/Port Townsend ferry, 15 mins from the charming oceanside town of Coupeville (one of Washington’s oldest towns), Ebey’s Landing National Historic Preserve and Penn Cove (known for world renowned oysters). Island Transit bus stop right across the street (dial a ride) and biking/hiking trails surrounding the site in case you’d rather not drive. Aside from its natural beauty and beaches, the island has many great restaurants, farms and wineries to enjoy while visiting. We hope you enjoy your stay! Please note: There is a naval air station on Whidbey Island, so there can occasionally be jet maneuvers. We, personally, enjoy seeing them fly overhead, but some people don’t like the noise.

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.

Nestled in Greenbank, Washington, Fern Gully, is an old horse farm that has been transformed into a Hip Camp. We’re delighted to welcome you back to our farm in 2025! We have installed new signage to facilitate site identification. Many of you were familiar with my sister, Morgan. She has recently relocated to Texas. My name is Erin. My boyfriend, Dave, and I reside in the farmhouse. My mother, Lauren, also makes her home here. We have discovered several exceptional camping spots on our 15-acre property. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the forest or lounge in our stargazing hammock circle. During the summer months, from July to September, our farm will be ablaze with seasonal fruit, including blackberries, cherries, apples, and salmonberries. Our expansive fields and wooded surroundings are also home to a diverse array of wildlife, such as bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, barn swallows, quail, and their offspring. Deer and occasional coyotes roam the property, but rest assured, they are apprehensive of us and pose no threat. We derive great pleasure from spending time outdoors, so you may frequently observe us engaged in fieldwork, construction, or simply relaxing in our stargazing hammock circle. We are always available to provide you with space or invite you to join us. We derive immense satisfaction from meeting new individuals and have numerous recommendations for Whidbey Island, including the delectable blueberry stand in Freeland and the Mutiny Bay Blues, a venue that we can either recommend or provide directions to. We eagerly anticipate your visit. Fern Gully is conveniently located just a two-minute drive from the charming Greenbank Pantry. Where you can indulge in delectable sandwiches and quench your thirst with refreshing Topo Chico or a bottle of wine. For a scenic excursion, venture to South Whidbey State Park, a six-minute drive away. Where you can embark on exhilarating hiking trails along the breathtaking coastline. Lagoon Point County Park, a mere five-minute drive from Fern Gully, presents an ideal destination for fishing and whale watching. Greenbank Farm, a consistently exceptional destination, is conveniently accessible via a four-minute drive along Washington State Highway 525.

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.

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!

FOOD : Due to the exorbitant cost of meats and groceries at present, we have had to suspend our cooking activities for the present. We are so sorry. SHOWER ROOM : Hot shower up and running, Propane type insta hot water. Just what is Cowboy Camp, you might ask. The traditional definition refers to sleeping outside under the stars with only a bedroll, a fire and the night sky for companions. But if you are a fan of the western genre and lifestyle, you might also know it as a place to go to hang out with like minded folks and experience the Cowboy lifestyle. This includes all people, men and women alike, as the term "Cowboy" is largely generic and not gender oriented. A taste of that lifestyle is what we are offering here at our Cowboy Camp. As part of your cowboy camp experience you can sign up for a horsemanship lesson involving handling and grooming horses and time spent working with the horse in the round pen. ACTIVITIES: Local hikes in forest: 1/4 mile Fort Worden: 5 mile Beach : 3 miles Our beautiful piece of property is comprised of 11 acres situated on the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula just outside the quaint Victorian seaport town of Port Townsend. It lies approximately 4 miles from downtown with its many art galleries, restaurants, shops, boat harbor, farmer's market and the historic Rose theater. The horses are excluded from camping areas during your visit. No need to worry about curious horses coming into your campsite to say hello. We have created a walking trail through the forest around the land that is full of the sounds of life and birds. A pileated woodpecker makes its home in the back corner and two pairs of barred owls also inhabit the nearby Douglas firs. An important note for the walking explorer, please be aware that many areas of the farm are in their natural state. This means you might encounter prickly plants such as star thistle, nettles and tansy ragwort. We are happy to identify these for you if you are unfamiliar with them. Please be aware and dress in long pants and long sleeves while hiking. There are no poisonous snakes present in this region. Side note : Due to the presence of horses, chickens and various wildlife on the property, we do not allow outside dogs at this time. Thank you for your understanding.

There is “lower field” that is a trimmed grass field right corner next to the driveway, Finally the “back field” is large, grass field and a fire ring across the northern half of the property.

It's a bustling working farm growing fruits, berries, veggies and herbs for our local markets. Our fully fenced private homestead is surrounded by woods and well away from the highway 5 miles outside of Port Townsend on the north east Olympic Peninsula. This is a working farm with a lot of moving parts, critters and kids; dogs bark at night, roosters crow in the morning, kids laugh and yell, farm work is BUSY, some days its just plain frantic. Its a lot of fun and beautiful.  But its not anything close to a quiet life.  There will be noise...  and poop... We follow the burn ban guidelines for Jefferson County.

Dun Tun is a 5-acre working smallhold we are assisting back to a healthier level. We have animals, plants and people contributing to improving the soil and biodiversity. You may see our meadows high and full of wildflowers or cut short for our animal's benefit. Both make for excellent views from our campsites. 2026 update! We welcome Tio and Rosie, our two new livestock guardian dogs, to the DunTun this year. They are still puppies and learning their jobs so please keep all pets on leashes and away from livestock areas. Our sheep, goats and dogs are on pasture during the day, inside electric fences, so please use caution and keep your pets and kids safe. We have also installed a perimeter fence around the back four acres but please continue to keep pets on leash for their safety and the safety of our animals. We built a new shelter for the compartment toilet for added privacy and weather protection in 2024! We are expanding our farm stand, in addition to eggs you will now find seasonal produce, firewood when fires are permitted and souvenirs made by folks who live and work on our farm. Both campsites are unimproved spots in our future silvopasture food forest. Located on the "back four" acres of our property, they're surrounded by trees and seclusion. We back to a small airport and are near a main road and you will probably hear traffic. Both campsites have trees and space protecting them from views of people or development. We improved our road in 2022 so bring your vehicle with no worries. We're just outside of the busy part of Port Townsend and close to farms, beaches and historic sites. Go into town for festivals, restaurants and the farmer's market. Chimacum, just two miles away, has several nice restaurants, breweries and farms that offer tours. We're two miles from restaurants, hardware stores and a grocery store in Port Hadlock. We're just 45 minutes from Olympic National Park and 2 hours to the Olympic Peninsula Coast so we're a great stop over. Hablemos Español.

We have a gorgeous covered area and deck with propane mini BBQ and bench seating, full water and 30 amp power hook-ups, and beautiful views of the surrounding farm fields and a one hundred year old barn (PLEASE don't access the barn area or fields, it's not ours but the views are great!) Lots to do around the area, including Finnriver Cidery, hiking in the Olympic Mountains and the Victorian town of Port Townsend. We now have decent wifi you can use, so option to come and work remotely! (Unfortunately we don't have tons of space for kids or dogs to run around, but definitely plenty of nice grassy area to set up tents, yard games and a campfire). Our site includes wifi, picnic table, and potable water. Campfires (outside of a burn ban) and pets permitted! However we do have free-roaming chickens (ask us about fresh eggs!) so leashed up or chicken-friendly dogs please. Guests love staying here: "Gorgeous spot to sit, relax and take in the sunset across the farm fields before tucking in. We visited for one night with a 10.5’ tall camper van rented from Cabana, which fit easily under the shelter with plenty of clearance. The shelter itself is a great spot to get outside and eat a meal, and the rocking chairs in the yard were chill too! An occasional loud truck will go by on the nearby road, but not bad. We slept fine. Walk to Finnriver Cidery for dinner (yum)"

4 nights at Fern Gully Camp

My wife and I loved site 3. It is very secluded and only a short walk from where you leave your car. There is a great hammock to relax in as well as a standing fireplace to have a campfire. We found a good spot for our tent and enjoyed being back at the site. My only recommendation would be to make sure to store your trash securely! My wife and I had a trash bag hung up off the ground and either some critters or the nearby camper’s roaming dog got into it. Obviously we learned to store it securely but make sure you do that in advance. Otherwise, it was a great experience. The property was beautiful and extremely easy to find with the signage. The host, Erin, was prompt in responses and made sure to check in on us to make sure everything was going smoothly. This is a great spot to explore Whidbey Island as well because it is right in the middle of island. It makes it very easy to explore the North and South! Also, make sure to checkout the Greenbank Pantry nearby! Incredible sandwiches

The hipcamp is located near many points of interest on Whidbey Island which was very convenient. Overall, it was a bit less private than we were hoping for but a great place to stay on Whidbey.

Weekend Trip to Green Acre Camp

This was a great spot to stay two nights with our dogs in a travel trailer. The site is level and easy to access. The trail loop was peaceful and well maintained - our dogs favorite part! Cell phone service for Cricket/AT&T is pretty bad but usable if you find just the right spot. Easy 10min drive to PT. We look forward to staying again!

Weekend Trip to Fruit of the Earth Farm

Leia's farmstay was a treat! She has beautifully crafted the land with considerable thought and care. Our site was private and serene. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Our two year old loved the alpacas and berry picking. We came here for 4th of July to escape the noise of fireworks, and that didn't work out very well, but that isn't Leia's fault! 10/10 would recommend and would return.

Weekend Trip to Island Retreat

Beautiful site surrounded by tall trees! Even though it's close to the road, it is full of nature—we even saw a deer and her fawn walk right through during our stay. The facilities are well-equipped, making it a highly recommended spot, especially for families.

Weekend Trip to The Glendale Farm

Seth was very inviting and personable making us feel very welcome at the farm. The location was perfect, super close to finnriver cidery and the farmer market at the corner store. Bathrooms were clean and the tent was furnished with two pretty comfortable cots. There are animals like ducks and chicken that were fun to watch and were distanced far enough that one cant hear them which would be great for little ones. I would highly recommend glendale farm to anyone looking for a place to stay.

Weekend Trip to The Last Of The Wonder Woods

Absolute perfect camping location, could call it “glamping” with clean flush toilets, water, and firewood! Quiet, clean, great fire pits. Mosquitos were out, but with a little bug spray, all was fine. Host was responsive to messages. Will definitely camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Wild Hearts on Whidbey

The Decked Out site is so pretty! There’s a wooden deck with space for a tent near the picnic table and below the deck, there is space for about 3 more tents. It’s located near a parking lot, but down a tree-lined path and tucked into the trees. It ended up raining a lot during our stay for the first night, but the next day the whole field was in bloom. I would definitely re-book. The horses are nearby on the farm and are visible from Decked Out and from the parking lot, but not too close to the campsite. My group enjoyed watching them from the clearing at our campsite. The camp was easy to find and is in a quiet, serene location.

Getting ready to head out and experience some of the farm.

This place is extra cozy, in proximity to downtown Coupeville and Ebey’s Landing, and I would definitely go there again! Huge bonus that there’s trails around the property to traverse for a morning and evening walk. Considering staying here again in the fall :)

3 nights at Camping at Three Peas Farm

Nice campsite at a good price. Be forewarned that the farm animals are a little chatty, but that makes it more fun. The host was responsive and quick to reply to my questions.

We loved out stay at the farm. The cabin was small but perfect for sleeping and getting in out of the rain. It was so much fun seeing the animals and playing games in the yard.

Nice people, working horse farm with all that entails. Rustic but clean accommodations. We slept great here as it is a beautiful property and would definitely stay again.

Fort Casey State Park camping guide

Overview

About

Dive into military history at this park, which was built to defend Puget Sound. Early 20th-century weaponry is on display, including a rare pair of 10-inch "disappearing guns." A guided tour of the gun batteries is available May 25 through Sept. 3.

Want to keep exploring? The Admiralty Head lighthouse is open seasonally. Lighthouse exhibits detail the history of local Native American tribes and the fort's construction.

Water-related activities are quite popular here, and boaters have two ramps for launching. The saltwater shoreline captures gusty breezes, perfect for kite-flying. Remote-control gliders also have a designated area for launching.

Campsites, both standard and partial hookup, are located next to the Keystone Ferry terminal. Four pull-through sites are located on the beachfront. Bring earplugs, because jets from the naval air station fly over the campground.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Fort Casey State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Winter offers a serene, less crowded experience, but be prepared for cooler temperatures and limited access to some park features.

Know before you go

Dogs are welcome but must remain on a leash at all times for the safety and comfort of all visitors.
Prepare for occasional noisy conditions due to U.S. Navy jet flyovers from the nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.
Accessibility is a priority, with features like automated pay stations and accessible restrooms ensuring a comfortable visit for everyone.
Remember to purchase a Discover Pass; $30 for an annual pass or $10 for a one-day pass.
Check the park's hours, open from 8am to dusk year-round, to plan your visit accordingly.

Fort Casey Campground

Camp Casey is a lovely campground. The air is pristine and so clean that you can hike forever. The ocean and beach are great and it is fun to fly kites there.

Fort Casey Campground

While I only live 20 minutes away in Langley, FT CASEY SP is one of our all-time favorite campgrounds. The fact that there are no trees in the campsites is forgivable when instead campers enjoy being as close to the water as one can get without being a boat. The comings and goings of the iconic green and white WA STATE FERRY traversing Juan de Fuca Passage between Whidbey Island and PT Townsend is delightful. Likewise, huge container ships, cruise ships and pleasure boats frequent Passage waters. There's beach walking (agates!), exploring the nearby WWII gunnery, kite flying, hiking, bird watching and visiting nearby historic and charming villages of Coupeville and LANGLEY. When there's weather, you definitely will feel it here. Love it!
