🌲 Private Van Parking 🌲
Quiet, semi-private spot on nearly 4 acres — with a freshly graveled area for parking — perfect for self-contained vans and RVs practicing true dry camping. A peaceful place to land while exploring the South Puget Sound.

🏞️ About the Property
We love sharing our beautiful property with fellow travelers who appreciate the peace and simplicity of nature. Tucked in a quiet, wooded part of Thurston County and surrounded by acreage homes, our land offers the security of private property while still feeling immersed in the forest.

Expect to see deer near your site and the occasional visit from our curious kitties. 🐱 At dusk, listen for the resident barred owl — their calls can make the forest feel wonderfully wild. 🌳🦉 This is a comfortable, respectful place to park, rest, and recharge, minutes from Olympia’s markets, breweries, trails, and Puget Sound.

🔥 Fires & Fire Safety
Individual fire pits aren’t allowed at campsites, but we have a communal fire pit for everyone to enjoy. Pull up a chair, toss on a log, and enjoy a cozy evening. 🌌 Great for s’mores, hot dogs, and swapping stories.

Firewood: Available at local stores or, by arrangement, a small on-site stash.

Chairs: Please bring your own.

Safety: Always check fire restrictions before lighting up.


🔇 Quiet Hours & Generators
Evenings are for owls, not engines. 🌌 Generators and engine warm-ups are daytime only — see posted guidelines for exact hours.
When night falls, enjoy the natural soundtrack: rustling leaves, owl calls, maybe a distant coyote chorus.

Smoking is allowed around your own space. Mind the wind — don’t send smoke signals to your neighbors. 🌬️ Keep it friendly and respectful.
