Weekend Trip to Flying M

Flying M Stables offered exactly what we needed—a quiet, convenient escape just outside Olympia. While the site itself is situated by the stable parking lot, it had full hookups including sewer, which made our stay comfortable and easy. We especially enjoyed waking up to folks unloading their horses for the schooling show happening during our visit. It was a treat to watch a few sessions and take in the peaceful countryside surroundings. We also loved getting to pet a few friendly barn cats and see a variety of other farm animals around the property. Stratford was incredibly helpful and flexible with all our requests—cannot say enough good things about this place. A great spot for a low-key, nature-focused getaway.

Weekend Trip to RV+ Rainbow Falls / Willapa Trails

Beautiful rural location and a short stroll through the woods takes you to the Chehalis river. Will definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Flying M

Decent landing spot for an urban adventure in Olympia. The area for the trailers was pretty muddy, but lots of hard rain, so not much you can do about that. Easy to get in and out of. Kids enjoyed that there was a dog show happening that weekend on the grounds.

Overview

If you’re a fan of 90s grunge-rock band Nirvana, you may have heard of Aberdeen, Washington This small city that straddles both sides of the Chehalis River is where the band got their start, and many of Aberdeen’s key attractions are related to the short life of the band's frontman, Kurt Cobain. Aberdeen is also a popular stopover point for road-trippers heading toward the coast from Olympia, and its proximity to the beaches and natural areas on and around the North Bay make it a good spot to pick up supplies or stop for a meal.

Where to go

Capitol State Forest

Located between Aberdeen and Olympia, this forest is known for its recreation opportunities, with 150 miles of nature trails and seasonal campgrounds, some of which have corrals for people who want to bring their horses along. Popular activities here include mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, and off-road vehicle driving.

Olympic National Park

Aberdeen is sometimes positioned as the gateway to the Olympic National Park, which encompasses much of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Encompassing nearly a million acres of protected land, this park is best known for its ecological variety, from the mystical Hoh Rain Forest, which protects majestic old-growth trees, to Sol Duc Hot Springs, a popular spot to soak away your aches and pains.

Westport Light State Park

Encompassing 560 acres, and only a half-hour drive from Aberdeen, the day-use-only Westport Light State Park is a fan favorite among surfers, offering fantastic winter surf conditions. The park has two beaches, a paved boardwalk, and picnic tables galore, but many visitors come to check out the state's largest lighthouse—Grays Harbor Lighthouse—which is situated right inside the park.

When to go

Aberdeen is not exactly known for its weather, and it’s wise to expect cooler temperatures and lots of rainfall no matter when you visit. With that in mind, the best months to visit are in July and August, when temperatures typically reach the upper 60s and rainfall and cloudy days are limited to a couple of days a year. Winters are cold, but rarely freezing, and get tons of rainfall, typical to the Pacific Northwest.
