Spend the night in a magical old growth forest only a few minutes walk from the Ashford town center. Enjoy two mountain creeks, a waterfall, 900 year old cedars, trails, firepits, and much more. This property is truly a sacred sanctuary. A portal into another dimension. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.Pitch your tent in a truly beautiful old growth forest just a few minutes walk from the Ashford Town center. This is truly a sacred sanctuary full of plants, fungi and wildlife, a portal to another dimension. Words cannot adequately describe the beauty, enchantment, and energy of this property. There are numerous small (2-person) campsites located throughout the property. These dispersed sites are occupied on a first come first serve basis. Campers have the option to change sites on multi-night stays. *Please note - All campsites on the property are located on a shared trail in the same general vicinity as other campers. There is approximately 50 feet between each site separated by foliage and trees. You will likely see, hear and interact with other campers, my family and our guests during your stay. If you prefer something more isolated this may not be the property for you as many people visit here to enjoy this wonderful space. I can assure you that everyone is encouraged to be respectful and friendly during their stay. If you happen to be unsatisfied with the designated accommodations, the property is quite large and has a few other open areas that are more isolated and could easily accommodate a tent. We can always arrange for you to stay in the alternate location. This is not preferred but it is always an option as I want my guests to be happy and relaxed during their stay here in the Enchanted Forest. Just communicate your needs and I will try my best to accommodate. Thanks!

Lovely Sites Near the Stream
Enjoyed a one night stay at Johns lovely property! The campsites were all unique in their own way, we took the site tucked under the trees. You can hear the babbling stream as you sleep- loved it. And so close to the park entrance! John was a great host although our time spent was short, but would certainly recommend this little paradise if you’re visiting paradise 🧚‍♀️

Zen camping in the woods
John was a very down to earth and friendly host. He offered the fridge and cooking area for our use which I partook in chilling my beer. My boyfriend and I got our pick of the litter for different camping spots-there were at least half a dozen to choose from. We settled on the one next to the smaller stream with the bridge down from this really cool tree. It was spacious for our 3 person tent and chairs and table. It was tucked away from some other sites which made it nice and quiet. That evening I walked all around the property which was quite large and very zen with a lot of bridges, driftwood sculptures, chairs, lights leading the way on the ground, a chair and hammock area, blackberry bushes and a lot more. We both loved it and want to come back with more friends to camp in the future. The stream was very relaxing to listen to and fall asleep to later in the night. Wonderful stay! Thanks John and family!

We loved John’s space. Closer to Mt. Rainier this was the perfect space to spend the night at.

John was very welcoming - we arrived late in the middle of a storm and John offered us to stay in the garage with a comfortable setup rather than set up our tent in the rain. Went well above our expectations and would recommend!

Slice of heaven in Ashford!
John’s Hipcamp is amazing. The sites are beautiful, the setting is beautiful— we loved the gazebo area and appreciated the common area/kitchen ammenities. We will be back for sure!
