Near North Cascades National Park

Within a 60-minute drive from the North Cascades National Park Wilderness Information Center.

Camp Keyser is a wooded 5 acre parcel in the mountains, near mountain loop highway - in the center of everything wonderful in the northern cascade mountains. We have one private cabin and 6 campsites. Tent campers will enjoy the lush landscape of a mature forest with sites along the (seasonal) Thirsty Creek. Nearby (3 minute walk), users can contemplate views of Whitehorse Mountain, Jumbo Mountain, Glacier Peak, and Whitechuck Mountain. This part of the Stillaguamish valley and the adjacent Mountain Loop Highway is known for a great selection of hiking trails, at all skill levels. It is perfect hub for all of your outdoor interests. The trailhead for the summit of Whitehorse Mountain is just a mile away, as is Old Mine Road trail (45 minute hike ending in 2 waterfalls). A 15-20 minute walk takes campers to a swimming hole in the cool Stillaguamish river for a dip or a paddle. Even closer is Whitehorse Regional Trail (great for biking, walking and horseback riding) built on the bed of the former BNSF railroad through the North Stillaguamish River Valley, spanning over 27 miles. The nearly level trail meanders through the valley, rewarding visitors with picturesque, landscape views of forests, farmland, streams and rivers, and mountain vistas. Sites have a generous fire pit and access to a Porta-Potty. For bathing I recommend cool dip in the Stillaguamish River. In season there is also fishing, snowshoeing, concerts at the blue grass festival grounds, a rodeo, and so much more.

Site 1 - Trailer/Tent

Very clean and well maintained site. Spots were somewhat close thogether, but had zero issues with anyone even though it was full. Host was very kind. Would highly recommend!

Relaxing Labor Day Weekend

Three of us and my two dogs had such a wonderful weekend at Steve’s property! We were there for Labor Day weekend so it looked like all of the site were filled up, but all of our neighbors were respectful and kept to the 10pm quiet hours rule. The site DID fit three 2-person tents! I thankfully had a very thick sleeping pad so I was able to sleep in one spot that has a root sticking up a bit, and my other two friends said their spots were perfect. With three tents it was a little tight but cozy. The site has a metal fire pit and a grate was provided which was soooo convenient and appreciated! The porta potty was clean as other reviewers said, and though we were the closest site to it we didn’t hear or smell anything - even with the facilities being used frequently. If you’re looking to truly feel “alone” out in the woods this might not be the spot you’re looking for since the sites are close to each other, but if you’re looking for a great car location that is accessible and near tons of great trails and has GREAT star gazing (just walk out to the road) then this place is a wonderful choice!

Site 7- Tent

Loved camping here on Steve’s land. I booked site 7 and it was secluded as described. Would definitely recommend. Will be back in near future!

Summer Camping

We had a great time tent camping in spot #7, beautiful scenery, quiet, plenty to do in the nearby area! The trees create a nice weather cover from the sun and rain. The campsite has service, a picnic table, and fire pit with a grill for cooking. We walked down to the river and spent a few hours hanging out.

Perfect local camping spot!

This was our second time camping here and we had a blast, it’s a nice cozy area that feels like true camping without being in the middle of nowhere! Steve is always so kind and the location is beautiful! Will definitely be making this spot a tradition!

Great Campground, wonderful host!

We had a wonderful stay on Steve's land - a great little campground with private and very well maintained sites, exceptionally clean port-a-potty, and Steve came by to check if we had everything we needed and welcome us. The site is very close to a number of absolutely amazing hikes. We loved our stay and hope to come stay again!
