Welcome to the Bennett's Creekside campout, our property is located in the historical town of Wilkeson, just outside of Bonny Lake, Carbonado and Enumclaw. The site is 1.25 acres of partially wooded Creekside land with a large grassy clearing, just off the main street going through Wilkeson. It is secluded and peaceful with Salmon running in the fall and Deer and Elk all year. Walking distance to the famous Carlson Block Pizzaria, Simple Goodness Soda Shop, the frying pan, bacon and eggs skate park, Wilkeson Eagles Club, Pick and Shovel Saloon, and a few more shops that round out this adorable little town. Tolmie Peak trail head of Mt. Rainier National Park and the Evens Creek ORV park, near by make it an ideal Basecamp for endless activities in the area. Bring your tents, camper van or truck and trailer combo of 35 feet or less and dirt bikes and camp out in one of the Pacific Northwest's best kept secrets. Please see host rules for all restrictions, this is a pack it in, pack it out camp with NO TOILETS. With a high expectation of being respectful and leaving the property as you found it.There are 3 potential creek side, tent sites and 3 gravel pulls in (not pull through) to choose from for a small camper. Please note nothing longer than 32 feet total, as the driveway and turn around can be tricky. The entire 1.25 acre property is 1 private site, and will be all yours to enjoy. Please be respectful of neighboring properties and stay within ours. When local fire ban is present, we do allow gas stoves and gas fire pits. Leave the property as you found it, if not better.

Good family spot

Tent · With kids

So the review prior was a bit extreme, the site was by the road and a walking trail but the creek is lovely and Kid had lots of fun playing by it. It’s a really large site if you had a big group it could accommodate quite a few people. Ants and bugs were honestly minimal for being right next to water. We came at the end of August and woke up to elk calls really close, a bit spooky if you didn’t know what they were but quite a magical experience. The solar lights were really nice and lots of hammock spaces. All and all I think if you know what you’re getting into near the road it’s an excellent spot for some summer fun and close enough to do Mt. Rainier hikes during the day.

Our family camping trip 2024

Tent · With kids

Overall great family time but it was too close to the road and we heard all the traffic. We went on the first rainy weekend in over a month so we stayed in our tents for the first day and half. Would consider again for location and when there isn’t a burn ban. 🔥

Tent · With kids

Honestly, we didn’t even get the opportunity to stay here. When we pulled up, we thought what a beautiful location, as we stepped out of the truck it looked as though the ground was moving. The entire camp site was overtaken by red ants. My son was bitten within 20 seconds of getting out of the truck. My husband said no way we cannot stay here. I agreed the place was inhabitable. The ants were on the picnic table. They were next to the creek which really wasn’t a creek. It was more like an inch of water which was unfortunate because we were excited about the water part. We had three trucks packed full of stuff ready to go. I’ve messaged the host and there has been no response or communication since days before our trip. We had to scramble and find another camp spot that could accommodate us and we all ended up driving two hours to another location. This was a terrible experience and it is unfortunate that we weren’t able to have some kind of compensation or even a response to make sure and check and see if we were OK. This place was façade, it is literally across the street from cemetery and there is a walking trail that everybody has a clear view of us if they were to walk past . The ground was so dry and crumbly & there were mole holes covering half of the campsite including dead vegetation overgrowth. You can tell it hasn’t been cared for in a while. We should’ve known better by the limited reviews.

Camping with dogs

Tent · With pets

Great spot that feels like you are out in the wilderness, but close to town. Allison responds quickly to any inquiries or questions. I would come here again and recommend to family and friends. We wanted an "off the grid" experience and that is what we got here. Our family had a great time. Our dogs were off leash and we didn't have to worry about them bugging other people or running into the road as it's pretty closed off from the main road. They loved the creek!

I booked this site for a night while passing through the area and had a great experience! Despite having troubles opening the gate lock, the host was very quick to respond and help out. The site itself has plenty of space for multiple tents along the river so if you're planning a group trip I would recommend checking this site out!
