Where you sleep

Pick your nights. Live the weekend.

The tent is where you sleep. The experience is why you came — communal dinner, village life, morning coffee, and Crystal next door.

Why Camp Easy

You should not ride hours just to ski Crystal.

The mountain is the point. The commute is not. Too many days started in the dark, burned half the light on the road, and ended with a tired drive home — a few hours of snow, then gone. Nature never got a full day. Neither did anyone in the car.

Barry built Camp Easy so you finish skiing and stay in the mountains — not on I-5. Ranger Creek. Heated tents, cots with mattresses, communal dinner, and a shuttle back to Crystal in the morning. The gondola is next door. The hours you used to spend driving are the trip now.

When the stay is not a tent

Camp Easy is one trail. SuperVan Adventures and SuperVan Supper Clubs are the others — same founder, different way out.

On the road

SuperVan Adventures

Guided Pacific Northwest camping with the van, the gear, and a driver who stays with camp. You pick the days. They handle the miles.

After dark

SuperVan Supper Clubs

A hosted supper club on wheels. Driver, hostess, private group. Pickups in Chehalis and Tacoma Mall — then dinner, a show, a casino, or a night you do not have to plan.

Guest notes

What people say after they unpack

Ski Saturday, dinner with strangers who became friends, ski Sunday. That is the whole point.

Maya T. Tent · Winter

Barry checked on us after the hill like a neighbor, not a hotel. Then he left us to the fire.

Chris L. Weekend stay · Winter

We showed up with bags. The cots were made. Rainier was right there.

Jon & Priya Tent · Summer

He remembered the kids’ names the second morning. That is just who he is.

Dana S. Family stay · Summer

The tents plus the Airstream held our whole ski club. No lodge math.

Evan R. Airstream + Tent · Spring

Barry built this so you wake up at Crystal, not on the highway. You feel that in how the place runs.

Helen K. Return stay · Fall

Gondola in the morning. Warm tent at dark. We did not unpack a stove once.

Nate & Cole Tent · Winter

He pointed at the trail, handed us a coffee, and got out of the way. Capable. Not fussy.

Amira H. Trail stay · Summer

Seattle Friday night, ski Saturday, communal dinner, ski Sunday. We did not drive home once.

Luis M. Weekend stay · Fall

The Airstream had a cot with a mattress and a kitchenette. We ate, slept, skied. That was the trip.

Riley P. Airstream · Winter

Window fog in the morning, Crystal right there. The trailer is the closed-in stay we wanted.

Sam K. Airstream · Fall

Heat at 10pm after a wet trail. The tent was already standing.

Jess W. Tent · Summer

Enough cots with mattresses for the reunion. Tents, the Airstream, the table. Nobody missed a lodge.

The Harpers Airstream + Tent · Spring

We cooked in the Airstream, sat by the fire, slept hard. Simple on purpose.

Owen B. Airstream · Summer

Straight answers

Before you pack the car

The experience, winter, Rainier, groups — the questions people actually send.

Are you open in winter?

Yes. Winter is when Camp Easy makes the most sense — ski Saturday, camp Saturday night, ski Sunday. Ranger Creek is open 365 days a year. The tents stay heated either way.

How far is Mount Rainier National Park?

Six miles to the park. Crystal Mountain resort access is next door. Seattle is about a 90-minute drive.

Do we pitch the tents?

No. Tents are already standing with cots and mattresses, heat, and lighting. You show up for the experience — dinner, village life, morning coffee — not to build camp.

Can we book the property for a group?

Yes. Book the Airstream and the Bell Tent together for ski clubs, reunions, and small retreats — and you save 15% vs renting each alone. Your group gets beds and a village gathering spot. Use Plan a Group Stay and we will map dates with you.
