About
Located in Oak Harbor, Washington, you'll find this stopover refreshing and relaxed with views of the Puget Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains, abundant deer, rabbits, raptors, and the call of the wild. Deception Pass and the State Park are the premier attraction on Whidbey Island and are easily accessible. Fort Casey offers breathtaking marine views, and you should visit the Admiralty Head Lighthouse. Both Forts Casey and Ebey offer a glimpse to WWII history with defensive gun batteries. Hike the Bluff Trail starting at Ebey's Landing State Park or from the Prairie Overlook near historic Sunnyside Cemetery. Coupeville and Oak Harbor are small harbor towns with waterfront shops and restaurants to browse and dine. Toby's Tavern in Coupeville is the iconic drop in spot for some world famous Penn Cove Shellfish or the best Ruben Sandwich on the island. A few hours drive to Seattle, to Vancouver, BC, to the Cascade Mountains, or to the Olympic peninsula, you're ideally located for Adventure while you're here. Recent additions are a fire pit and picnic table. Firewood is available. Bring your axe and show off your forestry skills as you may need to split some wood for kindling or starter sized sticks.

Parking & Arrival
RV parking is in an open field 300 yards down a single lane shared driveway to our property. Lots of maneuvering room in the parking area. Be aware, rain makes the area soft and may impose a little with maneuvering and parking. Flags will mark the desired parking area. If I'm not available to greet you in person, I will contact you and text a map of the Guest area marked up with information and arrows to guide you to the best and most level spot.
