Come experience the AYH Ranch - Vashon Island's only legal campground for over 30 years! We are no longer a hostel, but we are proud to continue serving Vashon and Seattle as a seasonal campground. The ranch provides a rustic, western themed camping experience with a variety of fire-pit teepees, teepees, and plenty of tent camping sites available.
We also rent our main house and our large log cabin, perfect for groups of any size looking to get away - all on our idyllic grounds on historic Vashon Island. This unique western campground is conveniently located just 25 minutes from Seattle and Tacoma, on the Puget Sound, right in the heart of the pacific Northwest.

About Us
Report
We have owned the ranch since 1971 and Judy created the hostel in 1982. We purchased the old 51 Chevy truck when we bought the land to help us work the ranch. It is still running and hauling garbage to the dump, gravel, debris and has become a major player in the maintenance of the ranch. While it is now 63 years old, Judy has passed a milestone of 70 and both are still very involved in all aspects of the campground.
