Welcome to our tranquil retreat on 15 acres of diverse landscapes at Elysian Retreat in Orting, WA. Our property offers a harmonious blend of open pasture, lush tree cover, and dense woods, providing the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventure. As you explore our serene surroundings, you'll discover a peaceful small stream meandering through the property, offering a constant flow of natural beauty and wildlife. Watch for majestic elk, graceful deer, vibrant waterfowl, and elusive fish as they frequent the stream, creating a symphony of sights and sounds. Don't forget to review the map in our images! We have a small gate at the most NE corner that opens up to a 5 min walk/bike ride to the Orting Foothills Trail along the Carbon River. Our friendly herd of five horses & four goats roam freely within the fenced area, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of our retreat. They're always eager to greet visitors and may even offer a helping hoof as you set up camp or simply relax under the shade of a tree. Whether you prefer to unwind with a good book beside the babbling stream, take a stroll through the woods, or simply soak in the serene ambiance of nature, our property offers endless opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation. Parking is available within the securely locked pasture, ensuring easy access to your vehicle throughout your stay.

What a fun quick stay! The goats and horses were so welcoming to not only us, but our sweet dog who had a blast meeting some new animal friends!

Free range horses

Beautiful land beautiful horses. Perfect for a quick stop through on the way to exploring more of the PNW. my friend was a little freaked out with the horses running around at night when we couldn't see where they were exactly..

Goat party

The goats were so funny! They were very curious about our arrival but gave us our space shortly after. We really enjoyed watching them play. They were very friendly, along with the horses as well! Be cautious about poop and thorns on the ground. Would totally stay here again even if just for the goats. Haha

I particularly loved the land as it reminds me of a nostalgic farm life from my childhood with my grandma. The horses and the goats were so pleasing to watch and to pet on occasions. The brown goat was my tail during my time there. It was impressive. The best part about my time and journey on Michelle's and William's land I found the perfect site where I could savor the trees' shades all day regardless of the position of the sun in the sky. The other campers on site were also so peaceful, convivial and very helpful. The only thing I absolutely abhor to share here but worth mentioning is potential campers going to this site should be aware of the traffic noise from the highway right behind my site. If you do not mind a little traffic noise, I would highly recommend you check this campground out. Finally, but not the least to review and commend Michelle and William about is their hospitality, friendliness and their attention to the animals. It was nice to watch their interaction with the animals.
