It’s easy to eye Snow Peak Campfield cynically, as a ploy to hook new customers on the Japanese brand’s high-end, beautifully designed gear, and the entire place does function as an interactive concept store. But the glamping resort, which debuted in 2024, also opens the tent flap for someone to take a first step into the outdoors without having to pay dues under a leaky borrowed rainfly.
Camping on the rugged coast of Western Washington is not for the ill-prepared. There’s a reason that companies like Outdoor Research and REI started here: it takes quality gear, and a lot of it, to stay warm and dry. So, while campers can bring their own gear to the 25-acre refurbished RV park in Long Beach, Washington, they don’t have to—and that’s part of the appeal. Along with standard campsites, guests can rent completely equipped ones with a fully assembled tent, or minimalist micro-cabins with a few more creature comforts. As little as $129 buys a night in a $1,900 Snow Peak Land Lock tent set-up with cots, tables, chairs, coolers, kitchen equipment, lanterns, and more.
For people who can’t or prefer not to sleep on the ground, the sleek wooden shipping-container-sized Jyubako suites provide a queen-size bed, kitchenette, and air-conditioning (okay, heat, it’s the Washington coast). Wall panels lower to become a front porch, a place to watch the morning fog burn off and sip coffee—from a Snow Peak titanium mug, brewed in a Snow Peak collapsible coffee drip, of course.
The open field layout and the community-oriented spaces and activities—guided bird walks, live music, and a Japanese-style spa—might not appeal to the hard-core campers and fervent fans who use Snow Peak’s ultralightweight titanium gear to get as far from crowds as they can. But Snow Peak rolls out a grass carpet for new campers who might otherwise need to acquire large amounts of gear. It welcomes visitors from beyond driving distance to enjoy a night under the stars (er, clouds). Rather than spending their time packing, unpacking, and setting up the tent, a family with kids can get straight to gathering around a fire or challenging each other to ever-lengthening cold plunges in the spa.
Also, it’s just damn pleasant to end a day spent digging razor clams on the beach or hiking on Cape Disappointment in the warm pool and Hinoki cypress sauna of the Ofuro Spa—free to use for Campfield guests. Snow Peak invites guests (of any experience level) to spend their time alfresco in Japanese comfort, using state-of-the-art, artfully designed gear.
We live in a world that constantly lures us with aspirational images. Snow Peak Campfield makes them reality. It gives anyone the chance to spend a few days inside a gauzy filtered aesthetic catalog, playing cribbage on a polished, engraved wood board around a modular folding stainless steel firepit. It is as great as it looks in pictures—just don’t check the price tags.
