Larry is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

Only 5 minutes off Interstate 5, our 14-acre private property is both peaceful and relaxing, surround yourself in nature on the border of our pond and you’ll see that the view changes every day. During the day enjoy a fun canoe, kayak or paddle boat on the water while you fish our (catch and release) pond, explore the property, or relax and nature-watch for the various birds, amphibians, and other animals. At night enjoy the ballet of bats that dance above the pond while you relax around your private fire-pit under the stars. There are so many things to do! Every Saturday during the Summer the "Skagit Speedway" is open (3 minutes away),"The Skagit Casino" (5 minutes away), or there are several lakes near by you could swim or paddle board at within minutes of the camp ("Lake Padden" 12 minutes away)! Mountain biking can be done at "Galbraith Mountain" only 12 minutes away! If hiking is more your speed we are also located only 5 minutes away from "Alger Alp Trail" or "Squires Lake Trail" to name a few. Don't want to cook "Alger bar and Grill" is right down the road or 20 minutes away in Bellingham there are many restaurants and popular breweries to choose from! All campsites are equipped with umbrella picnic tables and their own fire pits with pull down grate (outside of burn bans), and we are pet friendly! June - Early July: See Tadpoles by the thousands in the pond July : thousands of Baby frogs/toads exiting pond August: you should see black berries ripening around the pond Our guests love staying here : "Larry was very helpful and responsive leading up to our trip and during our stay. The site is near a pond which we enjoyed watching birds (kingfishers and herons and more!) and the calm atmosphere of the neighborhood. It was a great stay and not too far from Seattle for a weekend get-away."

Been my son’s Happy Place for years

Dragonfly Camp

Amazing weekend at Dragonfly as always! If you want a truly special time, book all the camp spots for Friday and Saturday nights and have the place to yourself. Larry is a fantastic host and always ready to help with anything that is needed. The pond has lots of small Bass that are fun and easy to catch on a little spinner bait. Been brining my son here for several years and he’s 13 now and still calls it his “Happy Place”. I guess your never outgrow those core memories. It’s also minutes from the Skagit Speedway which has amazing dirt track races on the weekends that everyone should experience at least once. See ya next time Larry, thanks for the great memories. 👊🏻

Awesome campground!

Tent · With kids ·

Dragonfly Camp

My kids, my husband and I have enjoy staying at Larry's campground. He's very attentive to what we need. The campsite is clean, quiet, large enough for the kids to run and play. It was my kids first time camping and staying at Larry's campground had made an amazing experience for them. They were able to paddleboard, get on the canoe and even fishing. At night you'll hear the frogs. If you're very sensitive to noise just a tad a bit especially hearing frogs all night long then maybe I think it won't be for you. Perfect spots to star gaze at night too! We all had an amazing stay. We would definitely come back again! I can't wait for future updates larry.

Third Visit to Fox Camp

Tent · With kids ·

Fox Camp

This was our third consecutive year staying at Fox Camp. Our kids (four and eight) love this spot. There's plenty of room for them to run and play. Particular favorites are the buoy swing and taking out the paddle boat. As adults, we enjoy the tranquility of the campground and how well-kept it is. Other bonuses include wildlife (garter snakes, frogs, rabbits, hawks, bats, deer), a park nearby (Donovan Park), and proximity to Sedro-Woolley. There may be other shopping and parks nearby, but there's another park in Sedro-Woolley (Pat's Park) and a Food Pavillion. Larry is a fantastic host. He's easily accessible via text message and very responsive. If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway, I'd highly recommend this site. Side note: we are located near Lynnwood, and have found that it's best to take Highway 9 both north and south. The travel time on I-5 can vary widely, especially if there are slowdowns near Marysville and Everett. Additionally, the drive on Highway 9 is far more scenic.

Great experience

Dragonfly Camp

My family had a fantastic time camping at Dragonfly Camp! Our kids caught frogs and fish and enjoyed the canoe and kayaks. The nice picnic table and fire pit with tiki torches for the evening were also very convenient. Larry was a super kind and communicative host. It’s a lovely property and with only one other campsite it felt plenty private. We will definitely look forward to coming back someday.
