Welcome to our little slice of heaven on the banks of the wild and scenic Skagit River! The spacious Group Camp overlooks the beautiful Skagit River and is located on five riverfront acres adjacent to our family farm of 43 years. In addition to the Group Camp, there are just 3 single campsites on this property. Get ready to watch Canadian geese fly overhead, dip your toes in the warm sand and experience Peace Like a River. Take a walk along miles of dike, launch your kayak in the river, cast your line and fish the glacial river waters, or just soak up the tranquil beauty. The Group Camp features a huge central wood fire pit with cooking grill, and 7 adirondack chairs/2 side tables that overlook the river. The large custom outdoor kitchen (cold water) is perfect for meal prep and easy clean up. There is also a 3 burner propane stove (propane provided) . Two-8' picnic tables and a 3' X 4' serving/buffet table give plenty of seating for meals. Just minutes away you can walk to the river on a private trail. During the summer months there is typically a long sandbar. You will find stunning views in every direction with partial shade under towering cottonwoods. For safety purposes, a camp fire is allowed only in the provided fire pit. This site has space for 2 recreational vehicles (20' or less) or up to 3 tents. Current COVID restrictions apply for group size/composition. Our family has great respect for the beauty and power of the river. Care for safety must be taken on the river edges as they are steep in places, the glacial water is very cold, and it has a strong tidal current and hidden undertows. Life jackets are strongly recommended for any activities on the water and we discourage swimming. We are located just 65 miles north of Seattle and minutes from I-5. This is your landing spot to explore all of the Skagit Valley, from the San Juan Islands to the Cascade Mountains. You will find epic hiking, biking, foodie destinations and endless opportunities to explore the natural beauty of nearby mountains, lakes and saltwater.Welcome to our little slice of heaven on the banks of the Skagit River!

Peace Like a River Group Camp

Beautiful site. Thoughtful hosts. Our kiddos loved the sand bar and the tree swings. Grownups loved the outdoor kitchen, farm fresh eggs, and views of the river. We will definitely make it a point to come back! Thanks again Stephen and Sharon!

A little piece of heaven

This is such an amazing site! The kitchen is super helpful to keep things organized and the grill over the fire pit is great for cooking. So much room to spread out tents, play games or just enjoy nature. A short walk down a path takes you to a large sand bar that is great to hang out on for the day. The ground is mostly sand which is great for tent camping. Very comfortable. You might have some sand to brush off when leaving but not too bad. The hill you have to go over to get there is the hardest part. Not too bad going in, but coming out, if you are in a high SUV or truck, you can't see where the turn is and it's a bit worrisome. But it can be done! Overall lovely site, Stephen and Sharon are the best, most responsive hosts ever. We will definitely be coming back!

The group camp site was awesome. Right by the river and a big open field. The sink was a nice touch too. They both seemed really nice.

Great location for group camp

Our group had a wonderful time staying in this spot, despite the rain this weekend! We especially appreciated the outdoor kitchen and fire ring set up. Views of the river and property were beautiful! Hosts were lovely and we will definitely be back!

Day Camping

As Seattle summer weather would have it, rain was forecasted for the one full day we planned to spend at the site (bookended by overnights and half days), so we opted to use the space for day camping the first day and then play the other days by ear. Although our time was quite short, we so enjoyed our time spent there exploring the river (throwing lines in to try and catch some salmon - was told by locals that sunrise was the best time), swinging on the tree swing, sitting by the fire pit, and playing lawn games. Sharon greeted us with fresh eggs, flowers, fruit and warm hospitality! She was most accommodating and agreeable to any iteration of our plans for coming and going during our reservation period. Sadly, we didn’t go back after the first day, but plan to make reservations for next summer as soon as dates open up! And PS for those interested in these details, horseshoes are provided and the porta-potty that was assigned to our space was actually the cleanest I’ve ever experienced! The kitchen space was outstanding, cooked up fresh oyster po’boys on the stove and Sharon even shared their propane fire burner for use in the fire pit as there was a burn ban in place during our stay. All in all a fantastic time and we’ll most certainly be back!
