Forest Den
Our stay at Nancy’s was so wonderful. She was a gracious host, and the cabin was so nice and peaceful. The murphy bed was really comfy, the shower was nice, and the cabin was well appointed (coffee, bottled water, etc). We had a great time at Nancy’s, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Alder Perch
Highly recommend this distinguishable property! I stayed at the preserve for a few days so hopped around the various spots to get different experiences in and different views. The Alder perch site is a nice flat area that can accommodate a larger tent if need be. In general, I really enjoyed every site I stayed at, including alder perch. Alder perch’s location relative to the rest of the Property, was less about the ocean view and more about the forest/jungle setting. But a very short walk down to the bottom of the property and you’re immersed in the ocean views. In general, the property is serene, quiet and dynamic. I’ve been on the road for a bit and it’s definitely been one of the more memorable highlights of my entire trip. You’ll feel tucked away and isolated in amazing ways and immersed in what the Washington coast has to offer. You can indulge an awesome sauna, observe seals playing around, and enjoy beautiful sunsets against the water. Ian went above and beyond as well! Will definitely be returning :)

Strait Overlook
I stayed at the strait for my first night of various nights at other sites. The strait is a nice flat site with picnic table and can accommodate a small-mid size tent. I reeeally enjoyed this site because it felt private enough and I felt immersed in both the lush green surroundings along with a direct view of the water. Ian went above and beyond for the duration of my stay to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. The sauna was awesome as well and a perfect addition to some of the evenings when the temp dropped. I will absolutely be returning and highly recommend staying here for a unique and relaxing camping experience!

Van View Corner
Didn't work out for me
Site is very exposed, no privacy off the main driveway so anyone that comes down sees you right away. The pictures do not show the exposure accurately.
Ian the host met me out in the driveway and said right away it's for Van camping only because there is no privacy, that's not what the description states, I was offered another spot when I told him it wasn't going to work out for me, the space offered was right next to another camper, better for groups.
Ian was condescending when I messaged him the next morning re the innacurate photos, suggested I should read more carefully and intimated because no one else has complained somehow it doesn't make it true? I have a full size suv and was planning to car camp. Yes I read description over very well part of what I do in my profession.
My only dissatisfaction in the description is the quote by Ian: "This site is designed specifically with Van and car camping in mind!"
Had the images been more accurate I wouldn't have booked the campsite.
My suggestion to Ian would be to take pictures further back of the site so people get a better feel of the campsite.
I Airbnb and camp frequently, this is my first negative experience so..

End of the World
We stayed at the End of the World site and had an incredible time. Ian provides very detailed and easy to follow directions, even in the dark! The entire property was beautiful and well maintained. Very clean bathrooms. Having access to the sauna, other amenities/games, and the beach, made it feel like we were staying at a resort. The End of the World site has a beautiful view of the sunrise in the morning. Everything at the site was great--the propane fire pit, the table for meal prep/cooking, the ocean sounds, the views. Despite other people leaving reviews about the trail down to the site being too steep, we found getting down to the site wasn't hard at all, even after we had rain. We were able to carry down a big cooler and arms full of bags easily. We hadn't even set up our tent before we were talking about the next trips we want to book here. Ian was a great host and what he has created is truly amazing.

End of the World
I don’t have enough words to describe the joy of my stay here! The beach views are amazing and the overall ambiance and diversity of the property is something I haven’t yet experienced on my travels. It was forest, meets some jungle botany, meets the beach. It makes for a really unique camping experience.
Overall, there’s a real sense of solitude and quiet, yet if you want to feel like people are around you can just walk around and explore the property. Beach access is super easy and you can enjoy watching the seals swim around during the day and bathe in the morning sun. Ian was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for the duration of my stay. It felt good to support his business :) I highly recommend this property and specifically this site for the awesome beach views and sense of privacy :)
