WHIDBEY ISLAND GET-AWAY

Two RV sites share a central campfire ring. Chairs and picnic tables for all.

Sometimes RV guests will park in our own RV shelter.

One of our guests backed up his 24ft trailer in the center campsite.

The center campsite will accomodate a 25-26ft trailer or RV.

Our 2 acre wooded property is best described as PEACEFUL.

While we like to host self-sustaining RVs with your own bathrooms, the property does include an ancient and venerable functioning forest OUTHOUSE! So renters, you're welcome here too. But you should bring your own water.

Kumbaya... A friendly firepit is available to guests. You should bring your own firewood, but we'll toss you a few sticks as well.

If there's not enough room for a spare tow vehicle at the campsites, our gravel driveway leads to a car park area. Our vintage 1954 trailer is parked beyond the rhoddies.

Two ferries (at Mukilteo and at Pt Townsend) will get you to Whidbey island. Check WA State Ferries for times and ferry fares. On the north end, you can cross the free Deception Pass Bridge in Oak Harbor.

A visit to nearby Langley (12 minutes) offers opportunities for wonderful dining, shopping, entertainment and recreational activities. Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets are free.

In Langley, the Boy Who Never Tires of the View by renowned sculpture Georgia Gerber invites you to join him.

Langley 98260 is a charming village by the sea, thoroughly walkable and enjoyable.

During Spring, you may even see and hear feeding gray whales along Langley's shoreline. If you're especially lucky, you might see orcas swimming Saratoga Passage.

A small boat marina is at the bottom of Wharf Street in Langley. From here you can go crabbing. pleasure boating or rent a kayak. Theres also a sandy beach for wading and swimming. Public picnic tables too.

Description

WHIDBEY ISLAND GET-AWAY offer a beautiful rustic wooded setting within a few minutes drive to a beach. You may hear a far off rooster crow, but mostly all you will hear are the sounds of croaking frogs or a hooty owl. Nearby are picturesque public beaches with views of Mt Raineer and snowcapped Cascade and Olympic Mountains. Within minutes are the WA State historic seaside villages of Clinton, Langley, Freeland and Coupeville that offer wonderful dining, shopping, art gallery, and entertainment opportunities. Recreational opportunities such as cycling, hiking, kayaking, fishing, crabbing and boating abound. And one more thing: WHIDBEY ISLANDERS are typically friendly and helpful. ;-) We are located in Puget Sound, about one hour north of Seattle. Travel further north by rural highways and ferry and you will be in the legendary San Juan Islands or nearby Olympic Peninsula.

Excellent hosts in a beautiful spot

The most lovely and interesting folks I've met! Have set up fabulous amenities including a tent covered area and fire pit.

Beautiful property with tremendous trees and lovely neighbors.

10/10 would recommend.

Can't wait to see them again - thanks Heathgal!

Sharen and Simon were wonderful!

Their place was not your standard location; complete with rv spot, fire pit, wooded area for small hikes, a farm next door and great hospitality!!
When we goto Whidbey Island we will be sure to visit!!

Really nice spot in the trees, and directions were well communicated.

Although rain prevented sitting around the propane fire pit, I could imagine how nice it would be on a warmer (and dryer) evening. Air was fresh and even the rain was welcome for this "Oregon smoke and fire 'refugee' - Verizon and T-Mobile service available, but not strong enough for streaming. E-mail, text all good. Would have enjoyed some safely-spaced conversation around the campfire - but we will try another time.

Sweet sanctuary with kind, friendly hosts

Boondockers Welcome is a wonderful gift for us RVers and once in a while you encounter extra special hosts. These Whidbey Island hosts are just that.

The sweet camping space they’ve created is so special and comfortable. It’s quiet and shady - if you’re lucky you’ll hear the Great Horned Owl as we did.

They themselves are so kind and generous-we hate to leave!

Whidbey Island is full of lovely places, sights and activities.

We’ll be back next summer!!

Fantastic

We stayed in their yard which was more beautiful than many campgrounds! They are working to make their property even easier for RV campers, including pads and a fire ring. Sharon and Simon are interesting, friendly and helpful. We can’t say enough about our experience with them.
Thank you!

Fricken Awesome!

They went above and beyond to accommodate and make me feel welcome. This was my first experience with Boondockers Welcome and I don’t see how it could get any better. Their place is beautiful easy to get to and although in a neighborhood if feels secluded, rustic and peaceful. I’d see myself staying in touch with these people for years to come.

Enchanted forest!

What an awesome place to stay and explore Whidbey Island. Sharon and Simon are wonderful hosts. We enjoyed visiting and sharing our experiences around a campfire (keeping 6ft. apart). We definitely be back to visit and explore more of beautiful Whidney Island.
