"Persistence" The Bus
A unique gem
So many loving touches on this magical bus. Alison's got a huge heart for sharing healing, nature, and a good time, and it shows! Lots of fun details to enjoy and a peaceful place to recharge. Highly recommended.

"Persistence" The Bus
Forest Creek Dreams is a divine getaway! From the breathtaking views, incredible hospitality and delicious food- my stay here was such a treat! The property is otherworldly, with a sparkling creek, lush scenery- I feel as if I have entered a fairy tale. The school bus, Persistence, is cozy, inviting and well-decorated- what an unique experience to stay the night in a magic school bus! The personalized, chef created meals are on tier with some of Seattle’s best restaurants- Alison has masterfully curated an exceptional experience like none other. This is truly a one of a kind gem- and I look forward to my future stays on Persistence!

"Persistence" The Bus
The MOST Incredible Experience
It says Forest Creek Dreams and it is not a joke. This place is where you will find just a little bit of yourself, in a world where we are constantly lost. I am telling you, the drive alone is worth the journey. The second you leave the city behind there is a wanderlust that you feel when you get closer and closer to the mountains and then you are smack dab in the middle of them and it is simply breathtaking. You reach the road and make sure you keep the GPS directions in mind that you are sent. Shout out to Alison for many reasons, but her communication was amazing. She let us know where to go, what to bring for weather, how the drive will be, where abouts on the property you can explore and so much more. We were celebrating my husbands 30th birthday and I found this spot on HipCamp, then I found Alison on Instagram - @synergychef - where you can learn about her and her journey with her magical bus - PERSISTENCE. This bus has a certain energy to it, the whole place does but because of this bus and the story behind it we were able to celebrate with our hearts wide open. Alison will tell you her story but her desire to show the kids what their imagination can do for their souls and our 8 year old was in absolute bliss. We only stayed one night but I wish we had spent the weekend, or moved right in. We painted the bus, painted rocks, explored the entire property, watched a fire dance, & took in all the fresh air. I am out of room to write! You must go here.

"Persistence" The Bus
Persistence the Magical School Bus!
I recently had the pleasure of spending a night on Persistence, the Magical School Bus, and I would highly recommend this experience. Alison, who has been the curator and creator of Persistence and journeys though the bus is such a wonderful person, to meet, and share my journey in life with. Alison is someone who is clearly very special and cares so much about the experience of people wanting to get out of the city and into a magical in-the-wilderness experience. What I liked most about Persistence and my stay on the bus is that she (the bus) is not only comfortable but also a beautiful place to find inspiration. She’s also fun! The sound system is bumpin’, and there’s an abundance of pretty lights and squish to create an instantly magical experience that is fully organic. The thing I did not expect was to fall in love with myself and my life a little more, and to see new possibilities just by having this experience. From the wonderful land Persistence was on, to the inner worlds the warmth and coziness She gave me the space to explore and share with the beloveds I brought with me, this experience is one I am sure I will be coming back for again and again. I had the most wonderful time on Persistence. Thank you Alison!

Stunning Mtn View & Lovely Host!
I had an amazing time at the Forest Creek HipCamp! The property is gorgeous and the current host Alison is so welcoming and hospitable. The property is underneath the magnificent Whitehorse mountain and from most places on the property you have an incredibly stunning view of Whitehorse. I brought my own large bus which Alison advised me to park right within the entry gate to the property. I enjoyed staying in this spot as it felt like it had just enough seclusion from the rest of the property to feel private yet not isolated. For smaller vehicles including Sprinter type vans it seems there are other places to park on the property closer to where the river is. I believe fires and pets are allowed but you may need to bring your own fire ring and need to check with the the host on pets because it may differ depending on if other dogs happen to be there at the time etc. I had a chance to get to know the current host Alison while I was there and she showed me her own bus named Persistance; (there is another HipCamp listing to stay in that bus if you don’t have your own camping vehicle or want to test out #buslife) Alison, who is a chef, even offered to make me brunch which was so delicious and had Ayurvedic herbs. Not sure that will be available to anyone who stays though I’m sure if you are there when she is there you’ll find her to be accommodating and determined in ensuring you have a magical stay. My stay was magical indeed and I hope to have a chance to return.
