**Immediate availability for long term RV tenant.** Monthly discount available. Property is a 5-acre gated horse farm surrounded by wooded military property on 3 sides. Conveniently located 10 mins from Tacoma, 20 mins from Olympia. Just 5 mins to Starbucks/coffee and grocery stores but far enough away from the city so it feels more secluded. My port-a-potty was destroyed in a storm so THERE IS NO BATHROOM AVAILABLE. American Lake and Spanaway Lake (and their parks with playgrounds) for swimming and paddle boarding are both just 5 mins away! The owner lives on site, as well as several horses, sheep, and a dog. Large stone fire pit with chairs near house is available for camper use. RV dry camping anywhere outside horse areas. For RVs needing dedicated electrical/water hookup, there are specific sites closer to the house. ***If you are travelling with more than one vehicle, please purchase an car extra parking spot.*** Only four 30amp RV spots are available and are most easily accessible for RVs under 30'. Standard 110volt outlets can also be available for RV use. Certain breed restrictions - no pit bulls, chows, or other potentially aggressive breeds allowed on property per my insurance. ***No RVs, campers or trailers older than 2015 model, or unsightly as per owners discretion. No vehicles, RVs, or trailers needing work or repairs.**** Woodbrook Hunt Club, the oldest fox hunting club west of the Mississippi, is a neighbor so lots of horseback riding goes on in the neighborhood. (Dragged scent only, no live foxes are harmed.) Private horseback riding lessons or guided trail rides available by reservation only, subject to weather and owner availability. Use of military trails adjacent to property for hiking and bike riding subject to open land usage and permitting by military base. Happy HipCamping! 😊

Vehicle site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 35 ft

Dry RV parking in pastures or close to house on level grass or gravel with access to 110 volt electricity with your own extension cord and water. Please see other sites for 30amp electrical availability. Max 35’ RV preferred to allow maneuvering space. Property is a 5-acre horse ranch surrounded by military trails. Just 2 miles from beautiful American Lake, I5 freeway, Spanaway golf, etc. 15-25 mins from downtown Tacoma and Olympia. Conveniently located - (5 mins to Starbucks and grocery store) but far enough away from the city. **Guests are considered those over 18 so 2-adult limit per reservation please. Also, please limit children camping to your own children for liability and safety around horses... (Don't bring the entire classroom with just two adults to supervise!)** Horses available for guided trail rides at $80hr/person. Please book riding directly through me as I can’t guarantee availability if booked on website. Horses are usually booked a few weeks to a month out. Unfortunately, I am not always available to accommodate last minute trail rides, but feel free to inquire! Children inexperienced with riding will be required to have a horse riding lesson in the pasture instead of out on the trail for safety purposes. 200lb weight limit. I can only accommodate 2 riders at a time for safety but additional people are welcome to come on foot or bikes. WiFi is available close to the house (working on exterior extenders) but not far out in horse pastures. Happy HipCamping! 😊

Vehicle site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 25 ft

Site 1 is closest to the road as it's adjacent/in front of my garage, but it's the most private away from any potential foot traffic to the horse pastures/barn, other campers, etc. Slighty sloped gras and gravel parking area with view of pasture off to east, and my front yard (which I don't use) off to other side. Area in front of pink/purple rhodys to left of garage in picture. Can be challenging to back into for longer trailers so preferably under 25' only. 30amp hookup directly on side of house.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
The campsite offers a peaceful and quiet environment, perfect for those looking to unwind. Visitors appreciate the proximity to local attractions while enjoying the tranquility of a farm setting. Although the presence of a busy road and military base can be a slight disturbance, the experience of being near horses and other animals adds charm. Be mindful if you have pets, as there have been reports of an aggressive dog on site.

Happy horse farm fit my needs perfectly. It was located in Tacoma close to where family was located, yet it was on the outskirts so not too busy. The private security gate with a key code access was wonderful because I could come and go as I pleased and was sometimes out latewith family. Further, the host was very accommodating to let me check out late on Sunday so I could go to church with my family.
