Camp Keyser is a wooded 5 acre parcel in the mountains, near mountain loop highway - in the center of everything wonderful in the northern cascade mountains. We have one private cabin and 6 campsites. Tent campers will enjoy the lush landscape of a mature forest with sites along the (seasonal) Thirsty Creek. Nearby (3 minute walk), users can contemplate views of Whitehorse Mountain, Jumbo Mountain, Glacier Peak, and Whitechuck Mountain. This part of the Stillaguamish valley and the adjacent Mountain Loop Highway is known for a great selection of hiking trails, at all skill levels. It is perfect hub for all of your outdoor interests. The trailhead for the summit of Whitehorse Mountain is just a mile away, as is Old Mine Road trail (45 minute hike ending in 2 waterfalls). A 15-20 minute walk takes campers to a swimming hole in the cool Stillaguamish river for a dip or a paddle. Even closer is Whitehorse Regional Trail (great for biking, walking and horseback riding) built on the bed of the former BNSF railroad through the North Stillaguamish River Valley, spanning over 27 miles. The nearly level trail meanders through the valley, rewarding visitors with picturesque, landscape views of forests, farmland, streams and rivers, and mountain vistas. Sites have a generous fire pit and access to a Porta-Potty. For bathing I recommend cool dip in the Stillaguamish River. In season there is also fishing, snowshoeing, concerts at the blue grass festival grounds, a rodeo, and so much more.

Sweet Spot

Sweet spot to enjoy nature rain or shine. Well appointed cabin that provides the perfect launching point for local hikes.

Site 6- Tent

Site 6 was great for my partner, our dog, and me. The site closest to us was empty so camping felt very private and secluded. The campsite was very easy to find, though we did initially pass up site 6 because the sign was knocked down. Would recommend for a peaceful night with a beautiful view and close to several great trails!

Little Gem Cabin

We adored our stay at this sweet cabin! It was private, restful, and nestled in the woods with a beautiful view of the sky. There was a rainstorm one night and we were cozy and snug in bed while the rain beat on the roof. What a restorative, wonderful space full of thoughtful amenities!

Site 1 - Trailer/Tent

Very clean and well maintained site. Spots were somewhat close thogether, but had zero issues with anyone even though it was full. Host was very kind. Would highly recommend!

Relaxing Labor Day Weekend

Three of us and my two dogs had such a wonderful weekend at Steve’s property! We were there for Labor Day weekend so it looked like all of the site were filled up, but all of our neighbors were respectful and kept to the 10pm quiet hours rule. The site DID fit three 2-person tents! I thankfully had a very thick sleeping pad so I was able to sleep in one spot that has a root sticking up a bit, and my other two friends said their spots were perfect. With three tents it was a little tight but cozy. The site has a metal fire pit and a grate was provided which was soooo convenient and appreciated! The porta potty was clean as other reviewers said, and though we were the closest site to it we didn’t hear or smell anything - even with the facilities being used frequently. If you’re looking to truly feel “alone” out in the woods this might not be the spot you’re looking for since the sites are close to each other, but if you’re looking for a great car location that is accessible and near tons of great trails and has GREAT star gazing (just walk out to the road) then this place is a wonderful choice!
