my first time hip camping
Hitting the road in my 2018 Winnebago Travato 59g and doing something I’ve never done before. It’s my first time hip camping! I found a really cool spot to Hip Camp, just outside of Seattle so we’re trying it out.
In this video:
- We’re heading to my first hip camp experience, McMurtrey Farm
- I’ll give you a full breakdown of my stay & look at my spot #2
- And we’ll talk to the owner about the Farm

In my limited experience (through Harvest Host) farmers have always seemed eager to share their story and show guests around the property. Hipcamp looks like a great fit for McMurtrey Farm, because it'll produce revenue in spring and summer when they're not selling pumpkins and trees. I'm stuck home for a few weeks, so thanks for taking us camping. 😀

You got it! And when you check their site out, Hip Camp has a lot of options 😊
So nice to see you smiling, relaxed and so very happy in your new to you rig! Sure looks so pretty in the twilight! Thanks for taking us along on this cool HIP adventure!

I've been aware of both Hipcamp and Harvest Hosts for a while now, but I didn't pursue checking them out because I had heard they don't allow minivans. After watching your video, I looked into Hipcamp in more detail and found out many of their sites do welcome minivans. I have a reservation in June for a Hipcamp outside of Black Diamond, WA! Thanks for another inspiring video, David!

North of you, there is a KOA in Concrete, Wa which is close enough to a lot of things, such as the north end of the cascade pass. Diablo lake! Washington Pass….

This is by Sixty Acres (soccer fields) in Redmond WA. I was just there late last night (Sat), trying to check out the aurora borealis. I didn't see much - i guess it was better Fri night/Sat morning. Looks like a fun camping spot without a long commute getting there! Great video!

We haven’t used a Hip Camp yet just Harvest Host and Boondockers welcome. I’ve looked at a few but I’ve noticed the prices are all over the place. From hundreds of dollars to 10 bucks 🤷🏼♂️. No amenities and I’m going to pass on anything over 40 a night and that depends on location. Some are very reasonable and some are insane 😂 . That was a nice spot, quiet and safe. 👍🏼

Yeah you do have to find that sweet point for the spot, but it looks like depending on where you’re at it could be the price of a state park🤓
This looked like a nice place to stay overnight. We’ve never been to a Hip Camp site but we are going to a Harvest Host tonight. I also like supporting the local business community. It looks like you are enjoying your new rig. That’s great!😊

Do you use a hotspot on your phone for editing? It looks complicated. I don't think I could have a KZread channel and produce videos. I heard it takes a lot of time and effort. Thank you for providing the content you do every week!❤

Thanks glad you enjoy the content😊 I do most of my editing on my laptop and then really only use my phone as a hotspot if I need to access the internet. There was a time where I did almost all of my editing straight on my phone. You CAN do it that way to start out😊

“Mise en place” essentially getting all of the things ready to cook. So it you have to chop onions or peppers you do that. You lay everything out so that when you start to cook, you’ve got everything ready to go😉😊

It’s a cool way to find unique camping/RV spots. You should check them out😁 www.hipcamp.com/en-US
Out of curiosity, if you are only staying one or two nights, why not leave the mattress pad and sheets on the bed? You could put away bulky pillows and blankets but you could also cut down on your setup time leaving some of the bed linens on the bed between trips.

Well I guess because I’m out hiking and exploring a lot, sometimes dirt and sand gets in and while it’s a little hassle to get them on and off, don’t mind the extra steps to cleaning them😊
I realize you are supporting a local business, but $55/nite just to park? No water or electricity???
