Hidden Meadow Retreat is located in Sumas, Washington, just a few miles from the Canadian border. The campsite is on a working farm, but the sites are in a private meadow in the back, so I didn’t hear any farm noises.
There was no cell phone service for me, so I recommend printing directions. I trusted my GPS and it got me there, but I wasn’t 100% sure I had arrived. The camp host, James, came out to say hi and direct me back to the campsite, which was great.
James gave me a tour of the property. In addition to 3 current sites located in the meadow, it looks like they are working on more. The farm boasts chickens, goats, rabbits, and someday soon, bees.
The campsites themselves are spread out from each other. You have to drive down a dirt road straight back through the property and over a quaint bridge to the meadow. At James’s suggestion, I chose the site directly to the right after the bridge. The spot had a nice fire pit with stumps to sit on, a grill, a picnic table and a garbage can. I was able to set up my sent under the tree, so I was nicely shaded.
The other two sites are across the meadow, but still far enough away for it to have the feeling of being private. They have a compost toilet for use in the meadow, hidden behind a row of trees, where, after using the toilet, you dump sawdust in to make it fresh. There is fresh water at the log cabin by the main house, so it is a bit of a walk.
James had mentioned checking out Vedder Mountain(which is different than Mt. Vedder in Canada) and gave us directions. It was only a few miles away and ended up being a great place to explore. On our hike, we ended up on a ridge overlooking both the US and Canada. As well, Silver Lake is only about a 20 minute drive away, so we went for a nice refreshing dip.
I was very pleased with my stay. I recommend checking Hidden Meadow Retreat out!
Past trips
⭐️Glacier Glamp Stargazer Tube Tent
in ❤️ Glacier Park HipCamp 🏕️, MontanaThis was such a fun, unique place to stay. I really loved it. It was a hot night when we came in and I was a bit worried that it would be too warm with only one window vent, but it ended up being just fine because the concrete was cold. It felt cozy and overall I loved the unique experience.
Tent Camp Village Site 6
in Duck Lake Lodge Campground, MontanaThis campsite is affordable and super close to the east side of Glacier National Park. It made for easy early mornings into the park. Terri was really helpful and kind. We were able to shower ever day and get ice at the lodge. The campground itself it pretty rustic - the women's shower had some holes in the wall, the men's bathroom didn't lock, the dogs barked often. I say that so you know what to expect, but really overall it was a good place to stay at a great price.
Site 1 - Ranger Creek Campground
in Ranger Creek Campground, WashingtonThis is a great spot. The sites are huge, come with a sturdy table, fire pit,a small grill, and garbage can. I was impressed! The place is right by the road, but that is advertised in the Hipcamp page. Phil had some great suggestions for things to do in the area.
Mountain rainforest campsite #6
in Capa Campground, WashingtonThis was a great spot. Paul was super helpful with a map of the area and suggestions for what to do, where to eat. The tent spots are elevated, which I really appreciate. I would recommend this spot!

Coriander Creek - Northfield
in Corriander Creek Farm, WashingtonThis campground is located on a working farm, in a valley with beautiful mountainous hills surrounding it.
The camp host, Mike, gave me a tour of the property when I arrived. There is an old (1910) barn that they are hoping to restore, lots of herbs his wife, Amy grows and sells, a swimming hole (it was too cold for me to try!) and lots of fields to explore. As well, they had chickens, dogs and goats.
The campsites themselves are spread out from each other. I had booked the Northside Campsite which was located at the end of one field. To note, I had to park at the barn and walk to my spot, which took a couple of minutes. The spot had a nice fire pit and a picnic table set up. I understand they move the picnic table to different campsites as they are booked. I was by the creek, though I couldn’t see it for the tall grass, but the grass was a welcome addition as it whispered in the breeze. My spot had a clear line of site to the farmhouse and the road, so there was some road noise. But when I consider the value (an amazingly affordable spot!), it was great.
The other two sites are more secluded. They are both closer to the farmhouse but out of view, one behind the grasses and near the swimming hole, the other behind a stand of trees. Both are larger and good for group camping. You will need to be able to walk to each site.
They have a compost toilet for use up by the farmhouse, where, after using the toilet, you dump sawdust in to make it fresh.
When Mike was giving me the tour of the property, he explained about things they hope to develop on the farm like adding more campsites in the adjoining fields, getting the old bard on the Historic registry and even one day adding a salt bath. I’m hoping to go back and see what new things they have added!
I was very pleased with my stay. Mike and Amy are great hosts and I recommend checking them out!
Camping at Dew Valley Ranch
in Dew Valley Ranch Nature Retreat, OregonThis is a great site. We came in a little late, so had a very secluded spot near the front of the property. The hosts we're very nice, helped us out when we couldn't find the address.
