Kodama is a 45-acre regenerative farm located in the beautiful Beaver Valley of Chimacum, WA. We use organic, permaculture-based techniques to provide fresh food for our local community. Kodama Farm also raises Nigerian Dwarf goats and tends to a tropical geodesic greenhouse where we grow citrus and other tropical fruit. Kodama is also protected farm land forever! Working with the Jefferson Land Trust and the North Olympic Salmon Coalition, we have conserved over 20 acres of riparian habitat and will be working to transform this land back into it's more natural state by planting thousands of native trees, shrubs, and re-meandering the section of salmon-bearing Chimacum creek that runs through our land. Stay at Kodama Farm right next to a few of our Nigerian Dwarf goats! Explore our little regenerative farm and flower gardens, walk through our tropical geodesic dome greenhouse, and enjoy the gorgeous valley views. We are located 6 miles south of "downtown" Chimacum which is the home to the Chimacum Corner Farmstand (the best natural foods/organic grocery store in the world), and Finnriver Farm and Cidery (a lovely family-friendly place!). Our farm is a convenient spot to launch off of for your Olympic National Park adventure! There are some insanely beautiful hikes nearby and we are about 2 1/2 hours away from the coast. We are right off the main highway which means you will unfortunately hear some car noise mixed in with the birds and goats, but bring some musical instruments and you won't notice a thing! Our campsite is a grassy patch down in the valley nestled under a large spruce tree next to a goat pasture. If our male goat is in that pasture, you may get occasional goaty smells, but that is just part of the farm life :) We have a picnic table, chairs, fire pit, electrical outlets, and a porta-potty available a short walk away for campers to use. Your campsite is the only one on the property. You may see us farmers going about our daily tasks, but we will make sure you have your privacy.Stay at Kodama Farm right next to a few of our Nigerian Dwarf goats!

This farm campsite offers a charming and laid-back atmosphere with a unique opportunity to camp near playful goats. Positive feedback highlights the engaging farm tour, the clean facilities, and the delightful interactions with the hosts and animals. A few guests noted the proximity to the road, which could be a bit noisy, but the overall experience is filled with warmth and enjoyment. The farm's location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions like Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula.

Staying at Grace's beautiful farm was a great experience. We loved exploring the property and sleeping right next to the goats. It is also really close to Port Townsend, which now holds the title of our favorite small town. Would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect location for fishing the Quimper Peninsula! Easy to find, everything I needed for a comfortable stopover; a quiet and partly shaded area to park my van, clean portapotty close by with a handwash station, table and chairs to enjoy a view of the goats. Would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay here! It is nestled in a very picturesque valley and we loved wandering the farm and seeing the goats. The bathroom was very clean. There is lots of good space for pitching your tent! Lots of great communication and easy to find.

Good experience!

Tent · With kids

My 8 and 11 yo old absolutely loved getting to feed bamboo leaves to the goats. The farm is a very natural / hollistic homey type place- Grace very much lived up to her name- graceful, and kind. Our stay was comfortable, and appreciated!
