Pleasant Places campground is clean, quiet, spacious, and private with lots of nooks for R&R as well as ample space for play and activities. It is an ideal location for large groups, and in order to keep the camp private, larger groups are given priority. Centrally located and with 10 acres of field, forest and farm, there is something of interest for everyone. In camp you will find a rustic kitchen, two 6' picnic tables, and a fire pit with accessories. There is also a resource area where you will find an electrical outlet, a water hose, five gallon jugs, bundled firewood, fresh eggs/produce for sale, and a wagon to transport everything back to camp. While the campsite, play space, and driveway loops are mowed, most of the grounds are wild so bring your tromping shoes. We also have a play field (with a net) so pack your movie screen, volleyball, soccer ball, badminton set and lawn games. You'll enjoy communing with the farm animals, the goats are especially hands on and love the attention campers give them, while the chickens and ducks are mostly just fun to observe. The local fauna include deer, skunk, coyote, rabbit, weasel, and possum--bear and cat are not common, but please do be conscientious about leaving food out. While there isn't water on the property, Mayfield, Ike Kinswa, and Riffe lakes are all 20-30 minutes from here and provide lots of boating, swimming, and fishing opportunities. Just five minutes down the road, Carlisle Lake offers walking trails, outdoor exercise equipment, fishing, summer concerts, and a playground for the kids. If you're looking to explore the area, Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens, the East Side, and the Pacific Coast are all just day trips from here. We are midway between Portland and Seattle and just 15 minutes off of I-5 making Pleasant Places a perfect meet in the middle getaway. We are Judy and Summer and Chula, mother and daughter and dog, and we are pleased you are considering a stay with us. If you do book, we are certain you’ll enjoy making Pleasant Places your outdoor home-away-from-home. Hope to see you on the farm! PS Looking for a bit more comfort while camping?

Awesome group camping!

Tent · Group trip

What a cool spot! Owner for a bigger group. There is so much space and cool little nooks to put up tents to keep a little privacy. The kitchen setup was awesome to have! Would love to stay again.

Rain didn't ruin our weekend

Tent · With pets

A wonderful spot to go group camping. The rain poured for a lot of our trip but we wouldn't be NW campers if we didn't camp in the rain now and then. Our host put out some rubber mats in the kitchen area so it didn't turn into a muddy mess and we brought a rain tent. The kids didn't care as they spent time running around the field, digging in the mud and visiting the goats. Great spot to get away with friends for a few days.

Lovely, secluded camping spot, great for families. Goats and chickens to look and pet, farm fresh eggs are available for purchase and are great! Conveniently close to town, providing easy access to lakes ideal for fishing and swimming. Great food prep tables and racks for drying. Can't wait to come back and relax!

Summer was an excellent and helpful host. She responded to our questions and needs super fast. The campsite is private and spacious. Great for a large group. The kitchen setup was super handy. My family and friends enjoyed the space and visiting the animals. My dog loved having room to roam! We will likely be back next year for another family camping reunion.
