Weekend Trip to Isla Springs

Ed is a great man and host. A true conservationist at heart it's hard not to talk to him for hours at a time, they just don't make em like they used to. The land is fantastic plenty of spots, nice spaces, and the stream was great to cool down on a hot day. Will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Dragons Gate Gardens & Wilds

Site was great, private and flat with lots of good spots for a tent. It had a nice picnic table and firepit. The firepit was a large and we got a lot of firewood for 15 plus all we needed to start the fire. Water was close as was the bathroom. This site had partial shade which was nice in the hot weather. Host's were very nice and helpful. The pool was not working during our visit but the river was nearby and very cold.

I loved the beautiful property and how dog friendly they are! We were floored by the hospitality and good communication. We would definitely come back again

Weekend Trip to Dragons Gate Gardens & Wilds

My partner and I absolutely LOVED our stay at Jessie’s Camp. Not only were we enchanted by the wildflowers and watching the warm glow of the sun filter through the trees, but the peaceful hum of nature provided the sweetest of lullabies while we stargazed and bathed in the moonlight! Much love and gratitude to our magical hosts, thank you for sharing your land - we can’t wait to come back!

2 nights at Misty Meadows Adventures Mt.Rainier

One of the most picturesque campsites I have stayed at. The hosts were welcoming and responsive. Incredible views of Rainier and beautiful wildflowers made this an unforgettable stay. The porta potty for the campsite was clean and well serviced.

3 nights at The Arboretum at Bear Canyon West

Excellent campsite and friendly host highly recommended

2 nights at Mountain Lavender Escape

We stayed at the Lavender View campsite and it was so pleasant! It felt like being at a retreat, and the sitting area with the wind chimes next to the lavender fields were so relaxing. The cedar shower was refreshing after a long hike at Mt.Rainier! Everything seemed well-thought out by Justin and he is fast to respond to messages!

4 nights at Misty Meadows Adventures Mt.Rainier

We had a great time staying at Steve and Starla’s place! The weather was really good and the campsite was big enough for our whole crew. I was impressed by how clean the porta potty was and the proximity to provisions in nearby towns. We would love to stay again someday.

5 nights at The Arboretum at Bear Canyon West

We've been staying at the Arboretum for several years now, and it continues to be an absolute favorite. Every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The sites are spacious, private, and thoughtfully laid out, offering just the right balance of comfort and nature. Barb and Terry are truly phenomenal, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can tell they take pride in the experience they provide, and it shows in every detail. They've recently added a wiffle ball area and a disc golf course in a beautiful open field, both of which were big hits with our group. The view from the field is breathtaking, with rolling hills and scenery that make it hard to leave. The Arboretum has everything we look for in a campsite: peace, space, fun activities, and wonderful hosts. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Isla Springs

Isla Springs was great for a quick getaway from Portland! Ed met us when we arrived and talked through the campsite options. He set us up in a spot close to the creek, where we spent the day. The campsite had a fire ring, which was nice in the evening. We would definitely return!

Weekend Trip to Isla Springs

My husband and I personally loved camping on Ed’s property. It is very beautiful, very peaceful and very quiet. Ed was very accommodating, very friendly and a great host! The creek was very beautiful. Ed was very sweet, my husband enjoyed having conversations with him and finding out about his land. We are looking forward to our next trip back!

Weekend Trip to Dragons Gate Gardens & Wilds

We had such a great get away! Fairy Queen was extremely welcoming. The land is beautiful and everything was exactly as described. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Dragons Gate Gardens & Wilds

I loved staying at Dragons' Gate Garden! Kathleen and her husband were so communicative and welcoming, and the space was lovely and peaceful. Great recommendation for cooling off in the Skookumchuk River just upstream. I loved that the campsite was off the net but that they still offered wifi near the entrance; my life would be better if I had that separation more often.

Weekend Trip to Dragons Gate Gardens & Wilds

Incredible campsite, the hosts are lovely and the grounds are immaculate the wild flowers were especially beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Dragons Gate Gardens & Wilds

What an incredible and beautiful campsite. The wild and wooly flowers were unlike anything I’ve ever seen or stayed at! Truly a magical experience. The pink hues in the sky during golden hour against the flowers were breathtaking. The water valves on site were so handy and refreshing. We bought wood from the campsite and they provide a variety of kindling wood and abundance of large logs. There was a tranquil reservoir nearby, about a mile down the road and it was one of the highlights of our trip! Bring your camping chairs to soak your feet in the icey water! There’s an enchanted forest on the campsite with lots of magical moss growing around. And the Hipcamp hosts are the loveliest people! We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it. Thank you Fairy Queen and Red Dragon for everything!!

3 nights at Yurt Amazing

The space we stayed in was majestic. Mary was there adding some finishing touches when we arrived and she was so accommodating and helpful. She went above and beyond. The view of the swimming hole and beach was incredible. Waking up to it was one of my favorite parts. We counted at least 13 different birds we saw, including a bald eagle we watched for almost an hour. I have already been planning to go back. Highly recommend this spot.

3 nights at The Arboretum at Bear Canyon West

We had a Fantastic Time on the Shady Grove site. Barb and Terry have created a wonderful set of Camp Sites. Beautifully curated areas that are a great treat to stay at. The grounds are level and the grass and trees very well maintained. Potable water was plentiful. Barb and Terry are wonderfully kind and helpful Hosts on a superb property. Highly recommend to stay here if you are in the area. Its close-ish to Ike Kinsawa State Park (10-15min Drive). Morton, WA is 15-20 mins away as is Mossyrock, WA, if you need supplies. Access is an easy drive from I-5 on good roads. Overall one of the best HipCamps we have stayed at, thoroughly worth a visit! We will be back when we are in the area.

Tenino, the area we are in is where the First Nations People used as the Gathering Grounds. The Europeans when they came with their railroad chose to continue that tradition. Tenino is ground zero for the measurement of where one is on the railroad. We fell in love with our farm with its much untouched acres (not know any chemicals for the last 30 years) to create a place where people can gather and reconnect with life's natural beauty. We are certified organic, Salmon Safe certified, and pesticide free. Dragons' Gate Gardens is home to many giant crystals and here their beauty works delightfully with the land. The area has gently rolling hills filled with wildflowers during the earlier part of the Summer. Dragons Gate Gardens and Wilds has a hundred and twenty acres to explore. The Skookumchuck River is a little over a mile away where you can enjoy a waterfall and walk along the river with low bank where one can get into the water. Doing so is a great favorite of our guests. There is a giant crystal housed in a gazebo that overlooks the surrounding fields and woods. Time to meditate with the giant crystal in the gazebo can be booked with Kathleen for a fee of $55. We are wild and woolly. We provide a place to experience nature as it simply is. We privilege pollinators above human aesthetics. Wildflowers abound, including various dandelions which many are edible and healing plants. We encourage converting from lawns to meadow lands being supportive of wild birds and insects. If you like it wild we are the place for you. This is not a resort or English style garden. Tall grass, wild flowers and trees fill the land around you to give you a feeling of full immersion in Nature.

The Arboretum at Bear Canyon West

12 sites · RVs12 acres · Mossyrock, WA

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 10 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 above the shop, right on the property. 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 available Memorial Day to Labor Day. We look forward to hosting you!

River Mountain Meadow

2 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Battle Ground, WA

Learn more about this land: It sits upon a meadow with surrounding trees and a cow pasture in the distance. Spring time offers a small pond (please see below), but the Lewis river is in within walking distance and tons of recreational activities are close by (swimming, fishing, hiking, wineries, etc.). There are only two sites, far from each other. It is a rural property with a few residential homes and Airbnbs along the river, so be aware there are cars that drive through the one lane road. Town is close by for a quick trip. Privacy is better here than at a public campground and it's perfect for a close trip out of town for a day or two. *This winter was tough, lots of wind, so some trees fell, but they are all cleaned up and lots of small trees were planted. Can't wait until they grow!!! Dogs are most welcome, and may be off leash for a run in the field, however, please be mindful of my own dogs and chickens down below so please do not let them go beyond your site or the field when using. We plan on making the pond to be a swim pond that will hold water all year long (the creek that runs into it is seasonal so it dries out depending on how much rain we get in any given year). Please, read each site description carefully! Site 1 has a portable composting toilet for tent campers (please do not rate me based on this or any other things out of my control, I have tried my best to inform you about what to be aware of in this description AND each site's description). The toilet is santized, bags and gel are provided and it's private. You MUST pack out ALL waste; if you do not like any of these conditions please do not book this site. Site 2 is for RVs that already have a toilet so if you are a tent camper and want to book this site you will need to bring your own camp toilet. This is a beautiful property and I enjoy sharing it, please be mindful of the rules.

Camping in Seaquest State Park guide

Overview

About

If brushing up on your volcanism while communing with nature appeals, you'll love Seaquest. It's home to the Mount St. Helens Visitor Center, where you'll find a fascinating collection of info on the history and geology of the volcano.

Stay in one of the five yurts nestled in a wooded area of the park, and it's a short walk to the visitor center. For longer leg stretches, you've got 1 mile of wetland trail and 6 gorgeous miles of woodland trails to hike or bike.

The beautifully forested park affords spectacular wildlife viewing in both wetland and lowland forest habitats. Seaquest occupies over a mile of shoreline on the 10-feet-deep Silver Lake. This shallow body of water was formed when a previous eruption of Mount St. Helens permanently dammed Silver Creek.

Other camping options at the 475-acre, year-round park include 55 tent spaces and 33 utility spaces, most in serene old-growth forest settings. Clean bathrooms, well-kept grounds, and lush scenery get high marks.

Notable campgrounds

The park's standard campsites are enveloped in a serene forest setting, offering a classic camping experience.
Partial hookup sites provide added convenience for campers seeking a blend of rustic charm and modern amenities.
For those seeking full amenities, the T-loop's full hookup sites cater to a more luxurious outdoor stay.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Book early, especially for summer stays, as reservations fill up quickly during peak season.
Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons for greater availability and a quieter experience.
Keep an eye on the park's website for updates on campsite availability and potential cancellations.
Explore nearby camping options if Seaquest State Park is fully booked, ensuring you have a backup plan.

When to go

The best time to visit Seaquest State Park is from late spring to early fall, when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Winter offers a unique charm, but be prepared for cooler temperatures and limited access due to potential park closures.

Know before you go

Check for any alerts or closures before your visit, as the park may be closed for repairs or due to weather conditions.
Remember to purchase a Discover Pass for park entry, available for $30 annually or $10 for a one-day pass.
Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times to ensure the safety of wildlife and other visitors.
Accessible facilities are available, including campsites, restrooms, and trails, to accommodate all visitors.
Take advantage of the park's amenities, such as fire pits, picnic shelters, and the interpretive center for a comfortable and informative stay.

Mixed feelings

· July 2020

Seaquest Campground

Beautiful location with an amazing 7 miles of hiking trails surrounding the campsite. The tent sites are beautiful and nestled in woods making them feel private and remote, a truly immersive experience. The RV loops are the opposite of that, more like a glorified parking lot with no separation between neighboring vehicles, and views, well, of other RV's. My two trips (one tenting, one an RV loop stay) were very different. If you want to RV here I'd highly recommend boon docking and veering away from the RV loops. Make sure to check out the hiking trails - we caught on to them a little late in the game so were only able to explore a couple of miles. Need to go back, tent camp, and hike more of those trails!

Make sure to check out the Mt St. Helens visitor center. It is just across WA SR 504 from the campground. It offers information on the 1980 Mt St. Helens eruption, current conditions, views of the mountain, and a 1 mile nature walk.
