The Landing at Index WA

8 sites · RVs, Tents16 acres · Index, WA
Welcome to The Landing at Index - located on the South Fork Skykomish River, in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains, off of Highway 2. With 16 acres of beautiful, private woods and breathtaking views of Mt. Index, this is a wonderful getaway to kick back and relax after your day of adventures, or just to escape the city rush. The campsite is at the bottom of a rugged drive so an SUV or AWD vehicle are recommended, especially during the wetter seasons of Spring and Fall. When the property was logged approximately 100 years ago they scooped out gravel from the river to make their roads in the area thus creating the back eddy lagoon along the beach. The Department of Fish and Game have a fish ladder at Sunset Falls just upstream and BNSF railroad owns the large vacant tract down stream.A rather peaceful setting, including the rushing sound of the river and the occasional whistle of a train. You will feel refreshed and rejuvenated after you stay at The Landing.Pets are welcome, there is a toilet on site campfires allowed (when burn bans are not in place).

Mountain Lavender Escape

5 sites · RVs, Tents47 acres · Randle, WA
Cowlitz Falls Lavender Co. is quietly nestled in the heart of Randle, Washington, surrounded by the beauty of the Cascade Mountain Range and just a stone's throw away from the majestic Mount St. Helens. The fertile ground, courtesy of the active stratovolcano once known as Mount Lawetlat'la, provides the perfect foundation for our lavender fields. With pomace-enriched soil that aids in drainage, our farm boasts lush lavender plants thriving beneath a foot of rich topsoil. A hub for nature enthusiasts, our farm is a gateway to a plethora of outdoor adventures, from nearby campgrounds to the serene Lake Skanewa and the meandering Cowlitz River. The spirit of our farm traces back to 2014 when we embarked on a journey of turning neglected land into a flourishing lavender sanctuary. Despite facing setbacks like the loss of Debbie in 2018, we remain steadfast in carrying forward her vision. Our recent milestone was the grand celebration of Debbie's dream at our largest festival, where thousands flocked to revel in the lavender harvest, painting classes, and community spirit. As we navigate the challenges of farming and entrepreneurship, we are grateful for your support in shaping our lavender legacy.

Private RV parking near Mt Rainier

1 site · RV1 acre · Packwood, WA
You've found the best RV parking in Packwood, Washington at the base of Mt Rainier. Enjoy nearly an acre of quiet, old growth, tranquil, forest to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Leave behind the congested RV park and experience a unique and tranquil oasis of natural beauty. Pick between two RV parking spots, with septic, 30 amp electric and water. Enjoy your own fire pit, a covered picnic shelter with lighting, horseshoe pits and a covered porch with a swing. Access the property with a U-shaped, pull-through drive, or simply back in/out. The property is located at the dead end of a road with a large, paved cul de sac for easy turning . You'll be centrally located to the best of what the Pacific Northwest has to offer: Mt. Rainier National Park (12 miles to the Stevens Canyon entrance and 28 miles to the Nisqually entrance in the summer....longer in the winter), White Pass (including the ski resort and the Pacific Crest Trail), the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, the Cowlitz River, Packwood Lake, and endless hiking trails. Looking for more? You're also not far from Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams. While you feel like you've stepped away from it all, you're still just a few miles away from the amenities of Packwood, including shopping, restaurants, gas, etc. Fall asleep to the soft sounds of nearby Butter Creek, and wake up to fresh forest air. Spend your days exploring what makes the Pacific Northwest so amazing, and relax at night gathering around the large fire pit or enjoying time together under the covered picnic shelter. A second RV is allowed for an additional fee (contact owner), though electrical service is only available for one RV (septic and water available for two). One tent is allowed provided it is accompanied by a fully contained RV with a bathroom. The maximum occupancy is 6 persons regardless of the number of RV's or if a tent is used. Some guess have reported that using slide outs leaves little to no room to walk past the slide outs without having to walk off the driveway; if your vehicle has slide outs this may not be an ideal location for your vacation. (note: there is a small residence on the property, which will be vacant during your stay; you are free to use the covered porch area and the porch swing).

Lefty's RV Site

1 site · RV1 acre · Packwood, WA
I have been coming to Packwood every summer since the 90's and as it was well before Hipcamp, would camp in campgrounds or stay in local motels. I finally decided buying a piece of property would make sense. I had driven by this property several times over the years, but didn't set foot on it until after I had purchased it. I only removed older dead/dying trees , then planted new trees and bushes in hopes of keeping the property in a more natural state. The trail through the property on the river side was made by Elk passing through, which is why that area remains un-fenced. The property is located in a High Valley Country Club neighborhood and only a few miles from the town of Packwood. Learn more about this land: Bring your trailer, camper or motor home (and a tent if you like) then relax and enjoy a park like setting with hookups - water, power (50, 30 and 20 amp service) and Wi-Fi.  NO TENT CAMPING ONLY.  There is NOT a bathroom on the property.  Tents must be in conjunction with an RV that has a indoor toilet/shower (no outdoor showering).   Wi-Fi on the property makes staying connected easy. There is fire pit (washer drum) and free chopped wood for campfires.  There is a park style charcoal BBQ grill for guest use (guests will need to supply their own charcoal).  Located in a High Valley Country Club (HVCC) neighborhood, the property is one lot from Cowlitz river access.  Swimming (Memorial Day through Labor Day) and golf are close by at the HVCC, which is about 1.5 miles away from the property. The property is close to Packwood (3.5 mi) where you will find groceries, restaurants, pizza, and The Goat (Mountain Goat Coffee Company). There are also two micro breweries, Packwood Brewing Co. and Longmire Springs and food trucks near both. Packwood (Skate Creek) State Park in only 2 miles from the property.  There are hiking trails and public access to the Cowlitz River.  Visit skatecreekpark dot org for more information.  Lakes Scanewa, Riffe and Rimrock are all an easy drive from Packwood.  Enjoy boating, swimming and fishing. During the winter months, White Pass ski area and snowmobile parks Sno-Park Skate Creek and Sno-Park Orr Creek are in the area.  For something different, visit the Oak Creek Wildlife Area late November through March to watch elk feed by the hundreds. This is a NO smoking property.
