Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
We built our totally off grid home on these 80 acres in the early 2000s. We are surrounded on all sides by either Washington State or US Forest Service land and we have no neighbors for miles. And yet, we are only about 25 minutes from the towns in the Methow and Okanogan Valleys.
Our solar powered home is built on a high bluff. We have several acres on the lower part of the property that surround a couple of old cabins (we do not rent out the cabins). We have a water system that allows us to irrigate this land from a nearby creek. This water is not potable but it is great at keeping the grass and vegetation green all through our dry summers! This is the area that we are making available to Hipcampers.
At one time, this property was a sort of way station for travelers crossing the old arduous Loup Loup Pass, before the highway was built to easily connect the Okanogan to the Methow Valley. Old timers tell us there was a dance hall and a good saloon up here and we have found some evidence to back up that story.
Aside from the occasional highway noise, it is very quiet here. There is virtually no outdoor lighting for miles, so stargazing is excellent on clear nights.
Although we can't promise sightings, what we have seen here through the years are deer, moose, elk, black bear, bobcat, coyote, owls, eagles, hawks and all sorts of migratory birds. And of course squirrels and chipmunks. Mind your food.
We look forward to sharing our sweet spot with you!
