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 five listings - a converted schoolbus, an Airstream, retro trailer, truck bed glamp pod 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. 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. We 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. Masabaje is a clothing optional space. We are less than 2 hours from Seattle, 1 hour to Yakima wine country, 40 minutes to Vantage, 40 minutes to Leavenworth, 50 minutes to Snoqualmie Pass, 15 minutes to Ellensburg, 25 minutes to Roslyn, 25 minutes to Yakima River Canyon for floating and hiking, and so much more!

Tin Man

Absolutely gorgeous setting. The airstream is a little dated but worked great for our needs!

Tin Man

Great overnight near Ellensburg

This Hipcamp was the perfect spot for us after our day of fly fishing on the Yakima River near Ellensburg. The property is an oasis set in a gorgeous backdrop of rolling hills, farms, and a view of the Cascades. We immediate felt at home being greeted by the friendly dogs. Tin Man is eclectic and comfortable. The facilities had everything we needed and the community space was accessible and complete. We definitely recommend this spot. Everything about our trip went smoothly. We'd love to come back.

Fabulous hill with a pond

Great experience for our first hip camp! Nice bathroom and kitchen area. Pretty property. Nice dogs. Well maintained but still a laid-back experience.

Birdy

This is our third year in a row staying at Birdy and we loved just as much! Such a tranquil, beautiful little corner of the world.

Good Vibes, Great Dogs, Cozy Bed

I loved Bedford. The bed is comfortable and we stayed cozy and warm despite gusting winds. It is well placed for beautiful dusky sunset views. We had pleasant birdsong in the morning too. I loved the dogs Sun and Pluto and was endlessly charmed by their sweet cuddles during their camp visits. Having an indoor bathroom and kitchen was also a bonus. It's a great place and all the people were friendly and chill. I loved it!

Magnificent Stay

Magnificent experience. Chris and Bruce are Incredibly kind and gracious. The clubhouse/common area is the big score. State of the art fridge, washer and dryer, and an amazing glass shower. 5 star all the way. Health and happiness are the priority here. And wait till you see the stars…
