Erosia is 13 acres of wooded lands and boasts a couple of truly unique features. We honor our trees, especially the one with the woman's figure in her trunk, her arms held up to the sky. We call our big leaf maple Blessing Tree "Ambrosia of Erosia". We also have a 45 ft memorial labyrinth we're still working on, but is walkable (3 times in and out is nearly a mile). We are 1 hour away from the ocean at Ocean Shores (near Aberdeen) where you can drive to and hang out on the beach, fly kites, book a fishing trip, etc. We are also about an hour away the other direction to Lake Cushman where one can swim or hike up to the Staircase area where you will enjoy old growth forests. It's only half an hour to drive to Olympia to enjoy all the foods, the state capital buildings with museums, an award winning Farmer's Market, etc. An hour gets you to Tacoma, and with good traffic Seattle is an easy day trip with southern locations accessible in an hour and half. It's 2 hours to Portland, if you go south. It's easy to say we're CENTRALLY LOCATED and most all of western Washington is accessible with a day trip. We are still developing our lands. Currently we DO NOT have potable water onsite. Please pack in all the water you need and use the swimming hole and/or our local YMCA for bathing needs. We do have an ADA portapot onsite for a toilet. We are working on putting both picnic tables on each campsite. If you need table(s) or chairs please ask as we are happy to lend if we do not have a big event happening where we need them. Each site offered here has a fire pit with a metal fire ring to sit around and roast marshmallows. We can provide fire wood or provide your own. Karl and Sarah run a business making spiritual tools and gifts from wood from their shop(s) on the Land so they are around most of the time to answer questions and get you settled in. (www.rareearthdesigns.net) Right now they are working out of temporary shops as they work on building the permanent shop building. (There is no loud building noises currently, though. It's quite peaceful upon the land of Erosia.) More on our structure: The service-side of our Land Sanctuary is organized as a non-profit and donations to the creation and/or caretaking of the labyrinth over $50 we gift a memorial brick one can set in the labyrinth. Our for-profit business, Rare Earth Designs, donates the engravings. We will eventually have a retaining wall that can be used for seating and the labyrinth will be available to rent for weddings, memorial services and other ceremonies as well as regular walking meditations. This HipCamp site, though, is Sarah's personal business as she currently owns the biggest part of the Land and is basically the orchestra director of the Land as the "Lady of the Land". We're still growing and developing the Land, our Services and our shop and would love to show you what we are working to create.

Dancing Tree

We didn’t actually make it to camp here but the host was support communicative and friendly. I’m sure it would have been wonderful!

Convenient location to get some nature time. The property was very lovely and the campsite was clean. Great spot for viewing some stars!

Stargazer

Tent camping was great. This spot was very private. We didn’t see anyone else the whole time. Enough flat room for 2 tents. Very convenient location only 10 minutes from town. Beautifully surrounded by trees and views of the stars

Erosia Community Camp Site 1

It’s tucked away in the woods so very quiet and peaceful, but also not too far away from town.

Dancing Tree

We loved the beautiful site called Dancing Tree. It felt very peaceful and was well taken care of. Perfect for tent camping with a very level tent pad. At all the sites that we saw there was an intentionally beautifully level place for tent camping in this very sweet natural environment. Labyrinth and Goddess Tree are special features at this land sanctuary saved and protected by the owners. The hosts, Sarah and Karl were both lovely people and were flexible with us when our plans had to change.
