We are located on a very private property (the only houses you will see are across the inlet) surrounded by nature but only about 10 minutes from downtown Olympia and 5 minutes from I-5 and Lacey.
The property is situated on the very south end of Henderson Inlet. We are on the tide flats so twice a day (at high tide) we have the opportunity to explore on the water in canoes and kayaks. The property is spread over 16 acres and is comprised of two large fields (one in front of our home and the other is a smaller meadow off to the side (hidden meadow) and forest land. There is tons of space for playing, exploring and tiring out your kids and pups!
Wildlife is abound with eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, shore birds and a variety of forest birds make this place their home. We are also frequented by the local deer who wonder through and say hi.
About the campground:
The campground is located in the far northeast corner of the property on the edge of the forest and meadow. In the common areas you will find the porta potty, shower and sink. There is also a supply closet that has the yard games and extra supplies. There is a hot tub situated right on the edge of the forest with peek-a-boo views of the inlet. You will also find garbage and recycling bins.
There are trails throughout the forest along the 600 feet of water (tide) front. Along the trails you will find several different benches, seats and swings to relax and enjoy nature from. There are also fairies and gnomes who have been sighted in the forest. If you look closely, you might spot one too! We ware, if you touch a fairy or gnome they do lose their magical powers so please respect the mystical creatures. 😊
The sites are about 500 feet from our house and offer great privacy. You may see us throughout the day and evening coming and going from the campground, working on the property or playing with the kids on the trails!

This special place has sweeping views, including a stunning shot of Mount Rainier on clear days. Surrounded by forested land including a park preserve, the land is usually quiet and fairly private. A great place to watch birds, access multiple park trails by foot, or just enjoy being outside in nature. If you plan to bring a dog, do check which trails do and don't allow four-footed friends. There are old fruit trees on the land that give plentiful fruit (most years) starting in August, and depending on the time of year you'll also find blackberries, huckleberries and salal berries. (Do watch for sporadic spots of poison oak but they are few and far between.) Plenty of spots to set up tents, as well as two van-designated camping spots separate and not in eye-shot from tent-camping meadow. Serving all is an outdoor/covered low-tech compost toilet tucked into the trees a couple minutes walk from the meadow. There is also a spigot near the parking area with hose where you can rinse off dishes, gear etc. If you'd like to drink this water, we recommend filtering it first. A public swimming hole on Lake Florence is a short drive away, along with beaches. Check back with us in the future as well, because we have big plans for additional amenities.

Cute little wood cabin on a large, quiet lot, with covered porch looking out towards the water near the end of Cole's Point. Gravity fed fresh water at the sink on the porch. Inside, includes couch, queen bed, twin bed, fridge with chilled water, freezer, microwave. Nicely heated in winter and stays cool in summer. Sitting in comfy camp chairs on the covered porch can be magical during a spring rain. Outhouse with nightlight and composting toilet. Firepit with kindling and firewood in winter. (Summer fires are not allowed.) Short walk to the beach to the north. Short walk south to the edge of the Oro Bay as well. Kayaks can be rented on island. (Not related to the host.) Multiple hikes / walks within Jacob's Point, Andy's Marine Park, and 7 other parks on island. One wonderful little grocery store on island for fresh or incidental items along with one cafe, and one restaurant. The historic Johnson Farm and Museum can be a great place to sample island life from 100+ years ago. Pay extra for use of the twin electric bikes to ride the many quiet, scenic roads around the island. These roads can take you to the hikes, the store, cafe, or sample the sights like the 1928 ferry "Ocean City" slowly sinking into the mud in Oro Bay. There is often deer, hawks, eagles, coyotes, bunnies, and sometimes humpback or orca whales, all within sight of the cabin. It's a great place to escape the hectic pace of the city and enjoy the solitude interrupted only by the sound of the birds, and perhaps the distant trains about 3 miles away. Writer looking for a spot to focus on your next book? Reader wanting to finish a good book? Both are a perfect fit. Dogs are welcome but cannot run free due to the native animals that call the area home. The ferry is a 1 hour walk so cars are recommended. The Steilacoom ferry to Anderson Island leaves from the wonderful historic town of Steilacoom which is also well worth visiting. There is no smoking of any kind in the cabin or on the property.

Please note, this is HARSTINE ISLAND, NOT HERRON. I haven't gotten Hipcamp to fix this yet. There is a bridge to the island and the coordinates offered for site are correct. The map says beach shore Rd but the physical sign says Klondike.
Very clean commercially maintained outhouse now available!
Beautiful peaceful forest with trails, a great spot for elopements (elopement package separate) and a beautiful meadow with a small ringed fire pit for one site and a movable fire pit for another.. 2 meadow sites in 5 acres, a forested tent sight coming. 70% of the Island is forestry but sound DOES carry a long way so it's not dead-quiet.
Harstine Island has a BRIDGE, no ferry!
One hammock is left up in the forest and there are places for your hammocks to be hung, as well.
There is one spot on drive that is between two trees so you need to go slowly and be careful, 9 foot wide at wheel base only. Please take note of this. Easy for cars, a bit tricky for some trailer/RVs. Photo and video can be seen on webpage.
Types of wildlife include barred owls, a nighthawk usually in summer can be seen at dusk, western alligator lizards, warblers, robins, crows, wrens, a bear has visited before (lucky me heard it 'woof' at me, bear didn't appreciate my singing), deer, others have seen red fox in the past but we have not been so lucky. Birder's paradise. One lovely review calls it a great place for forest bathing!
Puget sound is SO clean here with a diverse salt water life. Orca and Humpback have been spotted nearby. You can track them at Orca Network or Puget Sound Whale Sightings on Facebook. Frequently people have seen orca making rounds with the incoming tide going under the bridge and circling the island! There is Jarrell Cove state park and a boat ramp at Latimer's Landing Boat Launch few miles way. There is a great local market at the community center Saturdays from 10-12 in the summer. No water view, this is heavy forest off a gravel drive into privacy. No power, no water, pack it in pack it out.
Please be careful of deer when you are driving in and observe island speed limits. Familiarize yourself with the personal fire extinguisher at the site.

Serenity on Harstine Island is a peaceful waterfront property with 100+ feet of private shoreline on Case Inlet, in South Puget Sound. The natural beauty is breathtaking — sweeping water views, deer that frequent the adjacent woods, occasional orca sightings, and Mt. Rainier visible on clear days. The campsite has neighbors on only one side, and a gravel pathway makes beach access easy.
Some of the things our guests love about the property:
* Reading and watching sunsets from the bulkhead
* Exploring the beach at low tide — calm, kid-friendly water
* Launching kayaks, canoes, or stand-up paddleboards on the protected inlet
* Stargazing — minimal light pollution
* Late-summer sun-ripened blackberries on the property
Important to know before booking: there is no toilet on the property and no garbage service. You must be in a self-contained RV/camper with its own bathroom, or bring a portable toilet and pack out all human waste. You also need to pack out all trash. The cabin and decks are private and off-limits to guests. The Island Shores Community Beach (with a boat launch ramp, just north of the house on the beach) is also private and not for camper use. Pets are welcome on a leash; a wildlife preserve with nesting birds sits next door, so leashes apply on the beach too.
About 2 to 2.5 hours from Seattle via Tacoma and the Harstine Island bridge. We hope our guests enjoy the tranquility of this place as much as we do.

Elevation Hive is a healing arts sanctuary for creative retreat, relaxation or resting between adventures.
Nestled on ten forested acres along the quiet shoreline of Burns Cove at Steamboat Island, this is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature, with yourself, and perhaps your creative spirit.
New Listing Discount! Use code TMQVRTGY for 10% off
Just 15 minutes from Olympia and close to some of the region’s most beautiful hiking destinations, our land offers the feeling of being far away while still easily accessible. Towering trees, and water views create a setting that feels both grounding and expansive.
The Elevation Hive is more than a place to stay, it’s a living, breathing healing arts space. At the heart of the property is a stunning 30-foot geodesic dome where we host somatic yoga classes, sound healings, breathwork, Qi Gong, and community gatherings. Depending on your timing, you may have the opportunity to join an offering or simply enjoy the peaceful energy of the space.
We offer two unique stays:
The Dream Dome: a 16-foot glamping dome tucked into its own private area, with space nearby for an additional tent if desired. It includes a cozy woodstove, electricity, and an outdoor setup with a propane firepit and portable bbq for simple meals under the trees.
The Birdhouse: a charming one-room tiny cabin with a covered porch, also equipped with a woodstove and electricity. A perfect perch for quiet mornings and slow evenings. This space also has a propane firetable on the porch and access to the bbq.
Both units share access to “Alice,” our lovingly renovated vintage trailer just steps away, which includes a kitchen and bathroom. There is also a luxurious outdoor shower for those who enjoy bathing under the trees.
This is a place for rest, reflection, and gentle adventure where forest meets water, and something within you has space to unfold.

Come stay in a 1985 Grumman Olsen bread truck reimagined as a one-of-a-kind tiny home on wheels. Picture a gorgeous modern-farmhouse interior wrapped in an antique rustic exterior. Add 5 acres of forest and you get the Château Camion.
It’s quiet, private, and full of character; a creative little retreat for guests who want something more memorable than a boring, overpriced hotel room.
Inside, the truck has everything needed for a comfortable stay: a couch that converts into a full bed, a kitchenette for preparing simple meals, a small work station and a hot indoor shower. Just outside, the outhouse includes an an eco friendly composting toilet. An outdoor seating area tucked among the trees offers a peaceful place to relax during the day or gaze towards the stars at night.
Guests are welcome to explore the full five-acre property and make use of the outdoor spaces throughout their stay. Settle into the hammock beneath old growth trees, take a swing on a park style bench, enjoy a meal at the picnic table or wind down beside the propane fire pit on those chilly summer evenings.
There are two powerful roof fans and two cross-breeze windows to help keep you cool in the summer. In the winter, a diesel powered heater will keep you warm. During warmer days, you could visit the nearby state park where they have trails and a gorgeous swimmable lake. We are also only a 5-10 minute drive from major amenities like restaurants and sightseeing attractions including the State Capitol. Between the months of August-October, there is a delightful family farm two minutes down the road. The corn maze starts in September.

Healing Hearts Ranch was started to inspire hope and healing through partnership with horses. Equine Assisted Learning sessions are available by contacting your host for more information.
The ranch is 23 acres partially wooded with a nature trail and open fenced paddocks and fields. We have a herd of horses on the property and offer Equine Assisted Learning and riding lessons onsite. Tent site is in wooded area at back of property, porta potty by the barn available. Water from spigot by tent site.
Guests love it here: "What a nice surprise! I was not sure what to expect staying on a horse ranch, but it was everything I could have hoped for and more. Kristy was an awesome host and there was one other group up by the rv pad, but we hardly saw them. Dogs were very friendly and Kristy let us use a propane fire-pit to provide warmth and a fire for our tent site. The bathrooms were clean and there was some water by our site, but we did not use it.
The camp, for the tent site… we arrived and she drove us all over her property and told us to just choose where we wanted to camp. We chose to stay in back of the horse area. While we could see the house from there, we didn’t care and if you want to move back in the woods further, there are spots back there too that would provide more privacy if you need that. This is a great site and a one of a kind experience being that close to the horses."

We are Mitch and Michelle, and we welcome you to our little slice of Heaven. While we are working hard to be good stewards of this beautiful land, and growing produce to be sold at local markets and through other community-based channels – we also love sharing this hidden gem with visitors. Our 30-acre property is a turn-of-the-century homestead, featuring a Heritage listed barn, located on the Thurston Bountiful Byway, and just minutes from the HWY5/Exit 99 - yet private and secluded. Bordering a state park – with a mix of wetlands, prairie grass and forest – we offer both RV full hook-ups and dry campsites. Great for digital nomads, families, travel nurses, solo retreats or small group gatherings - safe, secure, serene, and enjoyable! Come to relax, have some fun, or both! Welcome to Summit Farms!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE:
~Our Big Red Barn is a sight to see! Not only gorgeous and unique, but a cool place to hang out. A perfect indoor spot for morning yoga, a quiet place to read, board games, a group meal, or some tunes and a game of pool on the slate table! We also have a 10ft screen, projector, speakers, mics and dozens of DVDs (or bring your own). For a small additional fee, we can set up a movie and/or karaoke night. Please ask for details.
~Just a few minutes’ drive from Millersylvania State Park, where you’ll find amazing trails, a lake for fishing, swimming and paddling, a seasonal snack bar and beer garden.
~There is Room To Roam. Our place boasts plenty of open space for walks, outdoor games, kiddos to run around, and secluded sanctuaries. Toss a ball with your youngster, play an unforgettable cornhole tournament, or just wander about, pick a spot and let your senses take over - a perfect place for quiet reflection.
~ If you pay attention, you’ll enjoy much wildlife not just on the ground, but in the air and waterways! Depending on the season, you’ll spot frogs, butterflies and dragonflies, eagles, hawks, garden snakes, rabbits, salamanders, herons, dozens of wild birds – of course the greedy deer families stealing apples and bedding down at dusk – and much more!
~Wide Open Skies! During your stay, you’ll be mesmerized by quiet golden sunrises, cotton-ball clouds, brilliant glowing sunsets covered in pink and purple brushstrokes, and a gaze-worthy night sky, where a full slow-setting yellow moon might just take your breath away...in the sublime beauty of the big blue above.

This was the best Hipcamp experience we've ever had. The island is so gorgeous and the land that Sara is on is like no other in the area. The camping area is away from the home so it actually feels like your own piece of land. The directions to and from were very clear, bathroom experience was nice, the trails on the property we stunning, and the quiet space was perfect. I would love to stay again am looking forward to see what more comes to this space.

Great location and wonderful hosts. Perfect launching off site for Mt Rainier. And a wonderful place to return to relax. We had so much fun on the lake.
Would love to see an indoor restroom, or one that didn't require a hike up a bunch of stairs and a hill to access (for my mom), but otherwise, truly a perfect stay!

We loved staying here with a group of 20 adults and 8 kids - plenty of room for the kids to run around, and they loved the giant swing. Beautiful views and plenty of shade.

We visited this camp site for the second time, and our stay was great again! Molly and Jake are absolutely incredible hosts, extremely responsive and supportive.
The camp site itself is very nice for your luxury vacation because you get shower with warm water and toilets (according to your group size, we received an additional/third portable toilet for our group of almost 40 people. We also were super pleased by provided kids tools for toilets and hand washing station. Such wise support is greatly appreciated!
We love the site itself as it is private and comfy while you have 10-15 min drive to supermarkets if you forgot something.
There are two outlets stations which is also very helpful for a big company to charge phones.
The site is close to the Henderson Inlet shore, and our kids were so surprised by the water level changes during the day. They were able to swim on kayaks after 3 PM.
In addition, we love the common space near the campfire. For two years in the row, we used it for evenings play in Mafia as a whole group.
We are strongly recommend the place for families with kids because you will have everything necessary for hygiene. So, even babies around 5 months were good for a comfortable stay.
If you have any questions, we would love to share our experience!

I took my seven year old grandson here on his first camping trip. The hosts were welcoming and gracious and the property was gorgeous. He saw his first deer and learned to put up a tent!

The property that the site sits on is amazing. So many incredible views, including a view of the capital building. Green table is the biggest site and Pink table has the best view which is where I'll mostly like camp next time. The well water is delicious! It's so close to the free way and also to stores.

Repeat customer at The Pink Table. Epic view of the river and forests below the cliff face, calm and quiet, private spots far away from each other, and easy to find. Thanks again, David!

We enjoyed the peace and quiet at the green table site. Lots of birds to see and listen to. With the Puget Sound air, be aware that it can get damp overnight. We were there on weekdays and lucky enough to have the whole space to ourselves! The giant swing was a massive hit with my daughter. Would go again and bring friends!

Private if no one else is there. Street noise is not a bother. Dusty, very dusty to walk on. Gravel would make it perfect.

Weekend Trip to Elevation Hive Forest Retreat
The best experience and outcome I could have asked for when taking my 2 month old child on his first glamping trip.
Immediately when we arrived for our 2 night trip, and my wife saw the inside of the dream dome, she said “maybe we will stay for an extra night”.
I felt the same, it was beautiful and very well curated.
After reading the welcome card I found out the dome was created to help promote dreaming; after staying for two nights, I can say, my wife and I did dream vividly both nights~
The provided entertainment items such as tarot cards and board games were a fun nighttime activity
We did bring our own grill but there was provided grill in a pit for cooking that looked like a nice set up. Ample chairs and a table also sat outside the dome. The provided power and water for bathing and filtered for drinking was a nice amenity.
The beach access is just fine, just coordinate with the host and make your way past a guest house to access it, this is a multi use property so don’t expect to be completely alone, but it is much much more secluded and serine than a camp ground
The host was incredibly responsive and warm, quick and efficient to remedy anything I needed help with, though everything was already thoughtfully provided and ready for my use when I forgot an item.
The whole time we stayed we spoke of looking forward to coming back over the years and watching the grounds evolve as our son grows. Very cool place for rest, rejuvenation, and recharging. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Cole's Cabin on Anderson Island
Perfect, quiet overnight get away for my spouse and I! We got dinner at the island restaurant and took the nice walk down to the beach access just in time for dusk. Sitting outside on the small deck into the night was super relaxing and we’ll definitely be back!

We stayed 3 nights. We loved that the site was right across the street from a grass field and marina. Our dog loved it as well. Yes, there was some traffic, but it didn’t bother us. We found the site location to be peaceful.
