My kind of camping!
We loved staying in the former pheasant brooding coop! Perfect glamping as far as I was concerned. Robert provides very comfortable cots with pads and the room has a dresser. We brought our headlamps and one lantern. Easy walk to the clean bathroom and shower room. The stars are beautiful at night and yes, the first night the jets flew over and they are loud. But they are also fun to watch and they were not practicing that long. Robert is available if you need anything. Such a great stay!

Perfect Upland Base for Adventures
This was my second visit to Robert’s HipCamp. It’s a great spot to base my Whidbey Island adventures from! Clean, simple, great shower/bathroom facilities. I spent some time walking the prairie and woods on the property — so peaceful!

Many thumbs up from T591
Robert and all the staff at Pacific Rim were wonderful, welcoming hosts. We were there as a BSA scouting group of 12, two moms rented the cabin (comfortable and more than enough room for us). Scoutmaster and scouts were permitted to set up tents, and part of our trip to Whidbey was spent doing service hours on the property. The boys learned a lot, we had enough picnic tables and space to spread out to cook our meals, and it was a great central location for the rest of our adventures on the island. It was great being the only ones camping there, we didn't disturb anyone else when we came back very late from a bioluminescence kayaking trip in Langley.
The bathroom and shower were very clean, and we enjoyed looking at the exhibits in the main building when it was open. (We couldn't leave without purchasing honey and some plants to take home!)
The staff warned us about possible jet noise, but other than a helicopter or two flyby during our service hours we didn't see/weren't bothered by any aircraft noise. Such beautiful open sky views in all directions over the prairie, it was perfect for stargazing: some of the boys left the rain flys off their tents to fall asleep staring at the stars. I'll certainly keep this site on my short list for a future Troop outing to Whidbey, especially if it's for a dedicated Astronomy night.
Thank you Robert, Mosa, George and the rest of the staff!

Great spot and an interesting place to stay. Kids loved playing hide and seek. They had some pads already on the cots. Shower and bathroom were both good. Had some issues with wasps, so careful if you have food.

We had a nice and peaceful stay, everything was clean and the property was beautiful! We loved exploring Coupeville and the state park which are both just a few minutes drive away.
