Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Welcome to our property that sits below the Goldendale Observatory. In fact, there are hiking trails right behind (to the east) our property that will take you right up to the State Park. From April to September, the Observatory is open Thursday-Sunday from 3pm-5pm for the Solar Show and from 9pm-Midnight for the Evening Show. More information is on their website or through Washington State Parks website. My dream at 8 years of age was to have my horse in my own backyard. This dream finally came true when we moved out to Central Washington in 2017. We have bunnies, chickens, ducks, two goats, sheep, a couple of Scottish Highlanders and, of course, my horse Tigger. We are just on the outskirts of town and on the West side of Observatory Hill. We have the ONLY public observatory in the Pacific Northwest. It was built in 1973 and recently received a major renovation. Both our town and our county have light ordinances aimed at protecting the dark sky that have been in place since the early 1980s. Seeing all of the stars, and many times planets, are just breathtaking. If it's a full moon night or even nearly full moon, it lights up the sky. We love our little oasis, and we'd love to share it with others. As a friendly reminder, if you bring your vehicle onto our property it could be scratched from hooves or horns. The animals are curious and will what to checkout the new things in their pasture.

Very convenient and economical for our day, then late night visit to the Observatory - shaded, picnic bench, clean portapotty. Easy!

Stayed here for the close proximity to the observatory. We were just passing through so needed an easy place to stay for the night. I liked the rustic feel and was glad I didn't have to pitch a tent for the night for me and my boys. The cabin was clean. While the cushions on the couch were good to sleep on, I would recommend a pad if you needed to sleep up in the loft. USB power provided so bring extra power if needed.

Sarah and her family were so welcoming and accommodating on my recent stay during a bikepacking trip. I would highly recommend their camp space.

We loved camping in the cabin and a tent on Sarah’s charming and beautiful farm! The place has big open fields as well as lots of beautiful oak and pine trees. The cows, goats, chickens, and dog and cat were friendly and a lot of fun. Our children loved playing with them. Sarah was super helpful and friendly, and thoughtfully made sure everything was great for our stay. The very dark night sky in the big open fields gave us excellent stargazing views. Highly recommended. We hope to return before too long.

Camping on Sarah's property was wonderful. It was easy to find and I felt comfortable letting my kids explore. They loved catching lizards and grasshoppers and seeing snakes, frogs, turkeys and of course the cows and goats!! It was a quick trip down to Marysville to enjoy the river on a hot afternoon. The rest of the time we enjoyed hanging out in the shade of the Oak Grove. There was one goat that was a little less (or maybe more?) friendly than the others and seemed to really enjoy visiting our campsite. S/he even managed to get inside a tent for a minute! This definitely added to the experience for our family but is something to be aware of if you are less comfortable with animals. Sarah was very helpful and communicative and overall we had a great experience and really enjoyed being able to relax without all of the people at other campsites. We were also able to see some of the Perseids meteors!!

Great place, and so nice to settle in and not have to set up a tent. Right below the observatory which is an added bonus. Plus there are cattle, goats, and dogs around which makes it even better. Will stay again!
