All to yourself
100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
Our property is on a hill top located on the beautiful woods of Whidbey Island. We are less than five minutes away from the Clinton ferry terminal, yet it feels like it is a world away. Possession Sound Preserve is located 5 minutes walking distance. Restaurants, bar and brewery located 5 minutes by car.Our listing is located on top of a beautifully wooded hill on Whidbey Island. Although we are less than 5 minutes away from the Clinton Ferry terminal, it feels worlds away. The site is fairly secluded, the main house is not visible. Walk to the beach or stroll some of the trails on the property- this listing has a bit of everything. Possession Sound Preserve is 5-8 minutes walking distance from our property. Restaurants, store, brewery and a bar are located 5 minutes away by car.

fun weekend trip
Tent · With pets
we enjoyed our stay at Big Country for the most part. we went here the first weekend of november and the weather was what you’d expect for the PNW. it did feel secluded/private, as advertised, which was huge for us as our dog doesn’t tend to do well around strangers. hosts were quick to reply and helpful with directions. the location was convenient, we had to run to the store for a couple things we forgot. the raised deck was nice, but we did find our 4 person tent only fit if it was going one direction (also the deck was quite slippery - algae maybe?). the fire pit and covered seating area were great to spend our days by!! the site was a bit overgrown with something similar to blackberries, so that was slightly annoying but not a big deal. the thing that caused our rating to not be 5 stars was the porta potty. if it had been better maintained/emptied it would have completely changed our experience.

Carolyn and Ben were exceptional hosts! Very responsive and accommodating. My kids loved getting to visit their goats and chickens each day, and the site was just right for us. Our Coleman 4 person tent worked great on the platform. We got to pick fresh huckleberries right off our site and throw them in our pancakes. Location was close to all our favorite spots on Whidbey - Pickles Deli, Mutiny Bay beach, Ebey's landing, Earth Sanctuary, Langley and Clinton. Would definitely stay there again!

We had a lovely time at this campsite. It’s down a trail in the woods behind the host’s house. Private and spacious area to roam around. Our huge tent didn’t fit on the platform, but there was a nearby spot that worked. The host helped haul our stuff down to the site. We made the walk to the nearby beach twice and also checked out the Earth Sanctuary which is fairly nearby. It’s super close to the ferry terminal which made for an easy trip back home.

The campsite was absolutely perfect! The hosts were gracious, communicative, and so very friendly. Do yourself a favor and give them a shot. At the time of this review, the property is a work in progress, with two other campsites and an outhouse in development. There is some serious potential here! Nevertheless, the one and only available campsite we started at was just fantastic for my partner and me for two nights. We had plenty of privacy and felt very much in tune with our surrounding. We'll definitely be back! Do bear in mind that you aren't so far from civilization that you won't hear the occasional power tool, helicopter, or plane. Keep these things in mind and you won't be disappointed.
