This spot was great for our group of 6 and felt very private. There was a little road noise from the highway but the sound of the river helped cover it. The bathroom was GREAT, very clean and well thoughtout, but it is a little bit of a walk from the site. We appreciated the huge picnic table and canopy, and access to the river was so nice. Reed was easy to communicate with and flexible when our arrival time kept getting delayed. We had a great time!

Great spot, very private, host is excellent and bathroom/campsite is clean. Only downside is the traffic noise from Hwy 20

Mine & my dogs’ favorite Hipcamp!
Tent · With pets
I don’t say this lightly: I think this might be my favorite Hipcamp. Admittedly, I am biased because I have two reactive dogs who love the woods and trails so they don’t get a ton of off leash time living in the city, and they were SO HAPPY and at peace on this property. The one who usually has to be on a line bc he never stays nearby felt so safe and content that I didn’t even have to pull out the line.
The property is utterly stunning. “Having to” walk it to use the bathroom was such a joy each time. Reed is a wonderful host, very responsive, respectful and friendly. My co-camper and I are both about 5’3 and the walk from the car to the site took about 7ish mins, though we tended to amble along and let the dogs sniff and explore so I don’t think I clocked a solid average time. I would recommend bringing less if you intend to glamp bc of the walk. If you’re staying at least two nights, huffing all the stuff is worth it, but next time I’m def bringing my smaller, lighter weight gear. Reed provides a very sturdy cart and thankfully I also had mine in the car so we were able to get everything to the site and back in two carts with two trips, each way. There’s a hill that you have to pull stuff down and up. The other reviewers are right: the bathroom is an experience. That’s all I’ll say. And the set up at the site is 100%. I will absolutely be back … probably dozens of times. I could easily see this being a great “home base” for exploring the area. 100/10 recommend.

Thoughtful Space & Lots of Privacy
Tent
Staying on Reed's land -- right on the Skagit River -- was absolutely Awesome! Reed went *well out of his way* to give me clear instructions for my really late / "wee hour" arrival (thank you again Reed) -- and couldn't have been more accommodating as a host.
Not only is Reed an incredibly kind and considerate host -- but the camping mindset here is top notch. Leave your sun shelter, packable fire pits and other things behind -- the site here is setup for everything you could need, with quality construction. There's also a little trail down to the river for access, and lots of different places to setup tents of any size, hammocks, and enjoy river views and sounds.
Not only is the camp site itself great, but the bathroom is something that could be documented to inspire others 🤣 This is no lowly "composting toilet" -- this is a Bathroom Temple 🛕, out in the woods -- clean and open, with an impressive build that will stand the test of time.
The amount of thought, consideration and focus that's been put into this spot is awesome. Enjoy a short walk down to the site -- to escape the highway noise a bit, and get away from your vehicle. Bring a cart if you wish -- or in my case, just a large backpack. It's a short 3-4 minute walk *max*, so it's easy to lug whatever you need.
If you're needing some reflection, seclusion, or kicking off points for paddling or hiking -- this is a great spot. Hope to be back soon, thank you Reed!

Host was very friendly and helpful, the site was awesome and felt very private. The bathroom was so clean and nice although I never actually used it because I travel with my own. My iPhone which is on Verizon got a bit of a signal but my Samsung on at&t did not. My dog had a great time wandering around but he's a big scaredy cat so he didn't want to sleep in the new tent I brought. We did get to spend lots of time at the actual site with amazing views and nice camp fire during day and dusk and retreated back up to the parking area to van camp during the night. Overall it was an awesome hipcamp and just the bit of peace I needed.

The camping spot on Reeds land was great! Nice view, nice large picnic table and canopy provided with a bench, chairs, and a firepit. Site was well maintained. The short walk from the parking to the site is a bit longer than what was expected. Don’t bring too much to camp with unless you bring a wagon/cart. Would also recommend getting to the spot with enough time to unload during daylight because of the walk. Reed was helpful and communicative during our arrival.

What a sweet little spot! Reed was so welcoming and kind. It is about an 8 minute walk from the parking area, and felt very secluded, private. Close to great hikes, old growth forests, and beautiful Lake Shannon! I had a peaceful weekend here with my dog.

We loved this camp site. Lots of privacy, beautiful river and surrounding area, nice bathroom facilities, and the host was very accommodating. The family loved it, and it was perfect for the dogs. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for having us!

You can tell the spot is cared about. Awesome setup, like 20 seconds from the water. Bathroom was a nice cabin with lights. Reed showed us the spot pretty late at night, 10/10 the trees and proximity to the river are hard to beat

Really nice Skagit spot!
Tent
This is a very cool and unique spot on the Skagit! High bank camping with awesome little gravel beach in lower water. Well put together camp with an amazing compost toilet building, beautiful maps and woodworking! A little steep going down to the water but really pretty and relaxing to bring down a camp chair.

The campsite is beautiful. You can hear the river and creek. There is room for at least 2 tents. Reed provided a very sturdy picnic table, bench, and chairs, as well as a canopy. Compost toilet was very nice and clean. I'd recommend it!!

Peaceful site down by the river. Reed provided all kind of amenities to make our stay so comfortable: chairs, a picnic table, awning, grill, fire ring, and outhouse.
