Exploring the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest means choosing between beaches and deserts, forests and volcanos, lakes and prairies. Camping in Washington is a chance to greet nature up close and sleep in some of the most beautiful land in North America. The biggest challenge? Deciding where to start.


The Cascade Mountains run down the center of Washington like a spine. A handful of highways cross the crest in parallel lines, all running from the evergreens of the west side to the wide open grasslands of the east. Camping in Washington is available along every route, like the state parks that dot I-90 and North Cascades National Park that hugs Highway 20. 


Take Highway 2 over Stevens Pass to find old-growth trees around each spot at Money Creek Campground, plus a view of a classic metal train trestle. Fill each day with hikes through the Cascade forest, perhaps on a stretch of the Pacific Crest Trail where it passes the Stevens Pass Mountain Resort ski area. Head east of Stevens Pass to verdant Lake Wenatchee State Park for wooded campsites near the shores of a placid mountain lake and a stable inside the park offering trail rides through the summer. BYO kayak or rent one here.


Sometimes camping in Washington means getting off the beaten track to explore the quiet corners of the state. Take a forest road in Olympic National Park to find a green haven of mossy logs and curious chipmunks, or head north around Mount Baker, the Cascades’ northernmost volcano, for boat-in campsites around Baker Lake. In winter, the snowy expanse of Artist Point near Mount Baker' offers killer views of rugged glaciers for intrepid snow campers and backcountry skiers.


There are spectacular overnights to be had in the Pacific Northwest’s national and state parks, not to mention the remote U.S. Forest Service lands that blanket this corner of the country. Stock up on s’mores and firewood (when and where rules allow) and pitch a tent under the stars and go camping in Washington for the trip of a lifetime.

Reconnect with nature and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest! This tiny cabin has .5 bath with heat, kitchenette, toilet, private hot tub, Queen and twin bed , sleeper sofa and shared outdoor shower. We are located right at base-camp for Mt Rainier and a stones-throw to small grocery stores and pubs. Private access to the Nisqually River and a 10 minute drive to the entrance of the National Forest. Everything you could want for group camping, a romantic getaway, or climbing/hiking Mt Rainier!

The space

\*Please read in entirety before booking\*

There is currently limited linen service (sheets/blankets/bath towels) provided so please be prepared to bring those items with you (We reflect this in a lower cleaning fee after your stay) . Mattresses, pillows and disposable covers are provided in the lofts. These are tiny cabins on the side of a Mountain so "glamping" is the name of the game! We will send out reminders prior to your stay.

We have a convection oven perfect for small easy cooking, a two burner induction cooktop, microwave, kettle and mini-fridge. There are napkins, paper plates, cutlery and cups.



Guest access

The entrance to the Nisqually River can be found a short walk down the road.

As you exit the driveway of the cabins, take a left. Keep walking a very short distance until you see small entryway on the left side entering the forest. There you will see a faded sign with blue letters that says “Pack it out”. This walk leads you to a fork that breaks into 3 pathways. Take the center route for the easiest path to the river.

Please keep in mind the river changes frequently and consider bringing good shoes to easily traverse rocks and fallen branches. In the early spring it is best to bring shoes you don’t mind getting wet or that you can take off easily.

Once there, if there are no clouds, you can see the summit. It is a beautiful neighborhood secret and probably our favorite part when visiting!

Other things to note:

There is a shared propane heated outdoor shower available. Instructions for use will be sent at check-in.
