Masabaje Camp

4 sites · Lodging, Tents20 acres · Ellensburg, WA

Purchased in 2013 after a fire came through the area. We've spent the last 7 years regenerating the land, planting trees, building our house and collecting places for people to rest their heads. Masabaje is the first two letters of each of our parents names (Margaret, Sandy, Barry, Jerry). We offer three listings - a converted schoolbus, retro trailer, and tent spot. Meet Birdy, a semi-converted Blue Bird school bus with a comfortable queen mattress, couch, two recliners, dry kitchen, cooking utensils, and camp stove. There is access to a toilet, shower and sink (clean up area) in back room of main house (about a 4 minute walk). Birdy sits at "Top Pond", farthest from the house in a super quiet and private spot. You must bring your own bedding or sleeping bags, pillows, etc. (available here for an additional fee). There is no electricity available in Birdy. Battery operated lights are provided. Devices can be charged up at the house. There is also no heater in Birdy, overnight temperatures in September and October can dip down into the mid-low 40's or lower. Meet Tin Man, we found him after he had been in an accident. Bandaged him up and he became the first place to sleep when we bought our empty land. He has a comfortable double mattress, couch, chair, kitchen, cooking utensils, and two burner stove. There is access to a toilet, shower and sink (clean up area) in back room of main house (about a 30 second walk). Tin Man sits on our driveway round-a-bout and is closest to the house. You must bring your own bedding or sleeping bags, pillows, etc. (available here for an additional fee). Ellensburg is known for its wind and our land is just down from a wind farm. We cannot control the wind, but Birdy sits in a pretty wind protected oasis.

The Pines at LaVines

10 sites · RVs, Tents24 acres · Goldendale, WA

I bought my land in 1999. Back then I was the only one living on Austin rd past the end of the county road. Austin rd was still a gravel road then and so was Hanging Rock rd. Learn more about this land: Pitch a tent, bring your RV or something in between. Hunting fishing hiking relaxing in the trees. You can stay here and explore the Columbia river gorge, Mt Adams or Mt Hood, or head to the Yakima valley. Lots of deer and turkeys and other forest animals. Walli sturgeon and salmon are just some of the fish you can catch in the Columbia river or the Klickitat river. Pick huckleberries on the side of Mt Adams. Listen to the wind blowing in the tree tops as you rest and nap in the sun or shade. Territorial views and just 6 miles to town-close enough for beer and ice cream in the middle of the night( Sentry market open till 10pm). Maryhill museum is about 25 miles away. Biggs junction and I84 are just 20 miles and highway 97 is only 4 miles away, Toppenish wa is only 55 miles up north highway 97. Room for turning around big rv’s.

The road in is a little rough but my Audi TT doesn't have trouble except when the snow melts and turns into slush. Lots of privacy because the county road does not run past my place and each camp site is aprox 1.5 acres each so you have room for social distancing and privacy or you can find a spot that looks good to you and make your own camp. Located 1/2 mile off of the paved county road. only 3 neighbors within half a mile( the trees are thick enough you probably won't see them ever). Burn ban in effect June 1st till October 1st.

#ElRanchDeCMS

5 sites · RVs, Tents96 acres · Bickleton, WA

We bought this property a couple of years ago. Through trial and error, we have slowly worked it into our place of sanctuary. We have adventures of all kinds! Sometimes the conditions have kicked our butt's, but other times we have found ourselves surrounded by immense beauty.Learn more about this land:As you leave your home in the city (especially the Portland/Seattle areas) your drive starts out tense. Drivers cutting you off, brake lights forcing you to slam on yours, and slow drivers generally make the drive miserable. However as you make the turn on the gravel...you feel it as the stress leaves your body...its like your whole being knows you are leaving the city behind. Then you see the trees and you feel the Shinrinyoku (Japanese for "taking in the forest atmosphere"). It's like the trees know your stressful life and they invite you to bathe in their essence! And then you see the gate and the main camping area...you are here and the first thing you notice is how quiet it is!! You head up to Big Baldy to check out the view (Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier) and you take a deep breath of fresh mountain air. Back at camp, as night rolls in you see more stars than you can count and you and your family hear some coyotes in the distance while roasting marshmallows as the adults sip on adult beverages. This is El Rancho de CMS!At El Rancho De CMS there is no Cell service and limited incoming text service. However if you must check in to the modern world there is a road to the top of the property that allows for full 4g service so that you can upload pictures and video to Facebook/Instagram (#FunAtElRanchoDeCMS). Down in the main camping area we have multiple bathrooms that use the Lovable Loo compostable toilet system (Google lovable loo for more info) just do the business and cover with sawdust. We have camping in multiple areas! El Rancho De CMS is currently at 96 acres and borders State land with another 640 acres. The last 7 miles are all gravel/dirt roads coming in so if its been wet out the roads will be muddy (4x4 recomended). During the summer months the roads are really dry and cars can make it in, but an SUV is recommended due to rough roads, and potential clearance issues. During the winter the Ranch gets enough snow to make it hard to get in! During Spring months there are some creeks that are running and fun to play in to get a break from the heat. So depending on what kind of adventure you are looking for the Ranch is pretty versatile. Give us a call and let us help you have a heck of a time getting away!Kid and Dog friendly!!!! Kid area includes trampoline, tire swing, zip line, and more to come. Friendly dogs are allowed to run free at the dog owners discretion. Dog kennel available for "Time-Outs".Finally, please be sure to rate the experience and tell the world about your time at El Rancho De CMS!*Note bring extra gas (5 gallons) as there is no gas stations once past the major towns of Goldendale from the West and Mabton from the North. From the South Biggs Jct./Hermiston are the closest towns. Call for more info and tips!
