Trumpkinland Farm is part of what used to be an old dairy owned by one of the original settlers in this area. It is set in a rolling valley, surrounded by hills, mountains, and heavy forest. It is once again a dairy, with a name hearkening to Narnia, the books by C. S. Lewis. It is also, however, now a smallish family sized farm with many other species added to the mix. I raise a rare breed of dairy cow and several breeds of fiber sheep along with heritage pigs. Geese wander freely, along with a few turkeys. If you enjoy animals, there are many kinds of them here and most are friendly! Learn more about this land: First, about my farm name: My daughter had been reading The Chronicles of Narnia when we befriended and helped an orphaned little fawn, and she immediately named it Trumpkin, after one of the characters in Narnia. This is where her Trumpkin lived and grew up, and so this became Trumpkin's land AKA Trumpkinland Farm. Over the years a number of deer have come to trust us enough to get relatively close and eat with our animals. Come camp with your tent or self contained RV in our private woods or meadows and enjoy our wild and domestic friends, too, in the beautiful, magical inland northwest! You can have total privacy, and yet be a short walk from the main farm and a short drive to local natural attractions. There are trails to explore in almost all directions. Some camping sites can be driven to, primarily in the upper meadow, depending on your vehicle. If choosing to be deeper in the woods, tent camping will work best in most spots, with a carry it in and park either in the meadow or down by the farm proper. If you are tent camping, don't forget a good pad under your sleeping bag! The ground is hard, uneven, and in some places rocky! As this property is also a farm, if you run short of food supplies, or want to buy some of what is produced right here on the farm, there are many options for that! From the gardens to wild fruit foraging, farms are all about food. Farms, camping, and the woods are also about relaxing. In this cannabis friendly state, if you choose to really RELAX, please relax respectfully. With fiber animals in residence, handcrafted socks, sheepskins and an assortment of hand spun gift items are available for purchase. Periodically classes are offered on old time crafts; let us know your interests when you book your time with us.First, about my farm name: My daughter had been reading The Chronicles of Narnia when we befriended and helped an orphaned little fawn, and she immediately named it Trumpkin, after one of the characters in Narnia.

RV details

Travel trailers, Fifth wheels, Toy haulers, Pop-up campers, Class A RVs, Class B RVs, Class C RVs, Campervans, and Cars allowed

Vehicles under 25 feet allowed

This would all depend on where the camper wants to camp. There are small clearings along side the road/trail, or there is a big meadow with plenty of room to move in all directions. .

Pull-in site

This would all depend on where the camper wants to camp. There are small clearings along side the road/trail, or there is a big meadow with plenty of room to move in all directions. .

Accommodates slideouts

This would all depend on where the camper wants to camp. There are small clearings along side the road/trail, or there is a big meadow with plenty of room to move in all directions. .

Surface type: Grass or field

As far as vehicle length, it is more important how low to the ground it is and the ability to travel an unimproved forest trail. A school bus has gone up and down the road, but a fancy 45 or 50 foot long motor home would probably be best in a lower wooded pasture area that is relatively flat.

Surface levelness: Requires leveling

Generators allowed

No electrical hookup

There is no electrical hookups at any site. This is real camping, in real, unimproved woods. I hope you enjoy your natural surroundings while here!

No water hookup

If you need to fill water containers, that can be done at my farm sight, but beyond that there are no hook ups.

No sewage hookup

No TV hookup

No. Here you get to view nature and the wild life that may visit or pass close by. There are also farm animals, and I have always felt the animals are much more entertaining than television!

ExtrasAvailable at checkout

Dozen eggsgood

$3.50

Farm fresh eggs, chicken, duck and goose when available. Some are seasonal layers. Goose eggs would be by the 1/2 dozen.

Sheep skinsgood

$12.00

Sheep skins are excellent to sleep on when camping! This farm raises sheep for many purposes from the wool to spin and knit, to lambs for meat and hides. I send the hides off to a tanner and offer for sale a full range of high quality sheep skins for sitting and sleeping on or to making costumes, etc. Some are short and thick wool, some luxuriously long and silky wool. There is a big range in natural colors, as well. If interested, please ask to see what I have available. Prices vary.

hand made socksgood

$35.00

I make socks from the sheep that are here on the farm. I spin and knit, sometimes dye the wool. You can even meet some of the sheep who have contributed their wool to the socks that can keep your feet toasty warm and comfortable!

Wonderful Spot!

First of all, Fran is fantastic. She was so kind and a joy to talk to. Her property is beautiful with tons of space to stretch out and relax in peace. Our 3 night stay was great. We travel back and forth from that area to home a few times per year and had been wanting a campsite we could go to instead of a hotel. We will gladly stop by any time we can. Helpful things to know: - We have Verizon and did not get cell reception on the property, but it picked up about 2 miles down Aladdin road toward Northport. - The driveway is about 10 minutes away from downtown Northport, where you can find a gas station, small grocery store, hardware store, mercantile, and a bar. If you want/need more, you're gonna have to head to Colville (apx 45 miles away). - Bring bug repellant. Mosquitos, flies, bees, and wasps are plentiful. We used Off! and had no problems. - There are no defined campsites. Expect to carve something out for yourself. This can make your visit as private (or not) as you want. - The best areas are only (safely) accessible by vehicles with a bit more ground clearance than your average car. We drive a stock '79 Dodge van and had no issues getting a perfect spot. - This is a high fire danger area. It's very dry. We strongly recommend people avoid burning fires, even when there isn't a burn ban in effect. - Fran works outside on the farm. For this reason, she doesn't always get booking notifications until a while after they've been sent and it may take some time to get directions sent out. Give as much notice as you are able and be patient. It is absolutely worth it.
