Welcome to our tree farm and certified forest. Looking for an ideal family getaway spot? With our unique location nestled in the foothills of Stewart Mt and the peaceful Squalicum Valley, Rusty Ranch Tree Farm offers 110 acres of meadows and forest. Our location provides easy access to much of our local recreation options and is only 10 min east of Bellingham. Our camp area is spacious and can can easily accomidate your family and even a couple of friends. Scattered trees offer shade, and large grassy areas provide ample space to roam. We are proud to say we were recently given a top FARM STAY award from Hipcamp. Rusty Ranch Tree Farm is dedicated to "Eduction through Exploration" where we strive to provide your family and friends with more than just camping but also a place to experience nature and learn about forestry. Hike the several miles of nature trails on the hillside and explore our 65 acres of certified forest. Placards on the nature trail are part of our self-guided tour and provide information about forestry and the plants and animals that call this their home. You may request a guided interactive tour for your group if you prefer. Wander through the old growth groves, walk the 50' boardwalk and see the magical Fern Ridge. There are abundant wildflowers and seasonal berries to pick, as well as a variety of fall apples and pears in the old orchard available for self harvest. You can even purchase a tree to take home and plant. We also offer a roadside farm stand with fresh seasonal fruits and veggies as well as farm fresh eggs. We are normally closed Monday through Wednesday except holidays. Midweek sites may be available by special request. We hope you will come and stay with us for your next adventure.

Rustic Bunkhouse & Corral
They’ve thought of everything!
The land, feilds and trees were so peaceful and energizing. I love that most of the sites are spaced out and private. We stayed in the rustic cabin/rv site. The outhouse was so cute and very clean! Their self guided natural walk was a wonderful experience for our kids, and for us. Educational and fun. I will definitely be returning with my horse next time and do some trail and arena riding. Love that they have corrals and hitching posts. Affordable getaway! Snack shack, playgrounds, and game shack too for lawn games. We also opted to purchase a tree to plant at home, which I thought was a perfect way to end the weekend.

Creekside Tent Site
Loved staying here! The site was clean and easy to find, with a perfect spot for tent setup with firewood and kindling already set out nearby. We were given a free s'mores kit on arrival and there was a snack shack and game shack nearby for any of our needs! Will definitely be coming back again.
