James is a Star Host

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

We are a one hundred year old family owned farm with an organic garden, Permaculture garden, an apiary, and Christmas trees on six acres. We have horseshoes, tether ball, and disc golf. Early spring the frogs go crazy later followed by the sounds of nesting birds. Fall is the season for migrating birds that rest at the ponds next door. August is the time to fill up on blackberries. There are individual campsites with a barbecue and picnic table and a shared fire pit. The fire pit didn't see much use last two years because of the fire danger so we'll have an area at each campsite if you want to bring a propane fire ring (or we will have some for rent). I want to thank past campers for their suggestions, they have been tremendously valuable. We are becoming increasingly suburban and there is some road noise that can be heard and even with farms on three sides of us, you still might hear our neighbors in the distance. Campsites one and four are across the road from each other and campsites two and three are adjacent to each other, perfect if you have another family traveling with you. The Washington State Fair is 3.9 miles/ 13 minutes away, Tacoma Dome 7.5 miles/ 18 minutes, Point Defiance Park Zoo and Aquarium 19 miles/ 30 minutes and Wild Waves water park is 15 miles/ 26 minutes away. Eagles, hawks and Ospreys are frequent visitors to our property.

Camp Site #2

This spot is so thoughtful and well kept! The outhouse was lovely and spot #2 was perfect. Had all the listed amenities and was pretty quiet for a Saturday night.

Camp Site #3

We had a great time tent camping on this property. James was very kind and helpful and we loved meeting the ducks and eating their eggs. Played all the lawn games like we were kids again. Would absolutely stay again.

Camp Site #2

A true gem of a property. So much room to roam and James is first class with his hospitality and communication. For anyone traveling with highly anxious/reactive pups I would say sites 2 and 3 (although separated by trees and private) are a little close to each other so ask for James advice/see if other sites are booked before coming. Thanks again James and we look forward to another trip out there this fall.
