WHIDBEY ISLAND GET-AWAY offers a cozy, rustic and wooded setting within a few minutes drive from the Clinton/Mukilteo ferry. We are close to island beaches, recreational, and historic seaside vilages and their dining and shopping opportunities. Friendly and cheerful travelers, POC, BLM, and LGBTQ peeps are welcome here. Bigots, cultists and crabby peeps will be happier elsewhere. Under our canopy of tall cedars 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. Contact mobile, text only: 425.367.1953 Suggested Local Attractions:State parks such as Ft Casey, Ft Ebey and Deception Pass are all located on Whidbey Island. Charming and historic seaside villages of Clinton, Langley, Freeland, Greenbank and Coupeville are fun to explore. Hop on the Coupeville/Pt Townsend Ferry for a visit to pedestrian friendly Pt Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula. Or drive north to Anacortes for a stunning ferry ride to the San Juan Islands and legendary Friday Harbor.

Longtime RV Campers Simon & I are camper/road trippers with a lifetime of experiences. We enjoy road-tripping with our small terriers in a 24ft 2004 BORN FREE RV. Our 2 acre WHIDBEY ISLAND, WA, property enjoys a rustic, wooded, cozy and peaceful setting, a few minutes drive from the Mukilteo/Clinton Ferry (Hwy 525) and island beaches and seaside villages. As BDW hosts WE WELCOME DIVERSITY. POC, BLM, LGBTQ, INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS and their friendly pets are warmly welcomed. If you are Racist, Radical or Cultists you will not enjoy our hospitality. Weapons and smoking are not permitted on our property. Simon was Made in England. I'm originally from NY. We have enjoyed travels in Scandanavia, Europe, Mexico and South America. For 7 years we were AIRBNB hosts and enjoy meeting people and introducing newcomers to Whidbey Island. We have hosted BDW RV guests for several years. Home Town: Our home is in Clinton, WA, gateway to WHIDBEY ISLAND, located about 45 minutes north of Seattle. Whidbey Island enjoys three beautiful State Park Campgrounds - Ft Casey, Ft Ebey, and Deception Pass - but in warm months you have to be very lucky to secure reservations. Further north of Whidbey Island are the picturesque San Juan Islands, and further still is Brittish Columbia in Canada. Favorite Boondocking Locations: We haven't done much boondocking, per se, but we LOVE camping in WA, OR, and CA, on the seashore, at lakes and in mountains. We love exploring villages. And we're avid thrift shoppers. Skills or Expertise to Share: Simon is a retired A/V engineer, and a skilled Mr Fixit. Sharen is a retired Advertising and PR executive.

This is one of those spots you want to RAVE about and keep a SECRET all in the same breath. An amazing little private “camp ground” of sorts. Read the hosts’ descriptions of the access carefully to arrive in the right spot. I happily will spend a couple of nights there next time I’m in the area. These sorts of folks are why I keep my membership to BW!

Oh this was a most magical stay! Tucked into the forest with art all around, I didn't want to leave! The hosts were so generous and friendly... but not too friendly, if you know what it mean. Make sure you read the location instructions. Thank you so much and I will be back!

such a wonderful second time stay at this breathtaking, calm and relaxing location in a quiet neighborhood in the woods. This trip was a special trip with my 28yrbold daughter for her birthday and a mum and daughter weekend. When we arrived, Sharen came to welcome us wuth a small cake and candle for my daughter. Truly a special treat and so kind and generous, we loved our stay here. This site has electricity available for a small fee. the ground is level which makes it easy to park. I highly suggest arriving before sunset as it gets very dark which would make (backing in) parking difficult. Sharen and Terry have set up a delightful little campground with chairs, fire pit and a little outdoor sink to wash hands. There is an outhouse as well for non winter season. It is very quiet and all you hear is nature and wild coyotes at night. superb! This location is perfect. Thank you for such a warm welcome and a safe place to sleep.
