About Hearts 2025
For those who do not know us:
What is the Hearts Team?
The Hearts Team unites various leather houses/families in a brotherhood, dedicated to organizing community-driven events that enhance the experiences of those involved in the kink scene. We strongly believe that by hosting heart-centered, affordable, and socially oriented educational events, we can collectively engage in our preferred activities more safely, sincerely, and effectively. Currently, the participating houses include the House of Knight, the House of Essardi, and the House of the Iron Halo. Hearts 25 marks the third event by this collaborative effort, and we are enthusiastic about arranging more gatherings in the future. Feel free to show your support by liking the Hearts Team page on Fet; we are committed to serving the community for years to come.
for those who don’t know the campground:
What is the Silverdream kinky campground?
Welcome to the outdoor playspace nestled in Springdale, WA, serving Spokane and its surrounding areas, just 37 miles north of the city. Situated on 10 off-grid acres in the woods, this camping and kink-friendly haven offers a unique space for play, parties, scenes, meet-ups, and gatherings, all at a minimal cost.
This permanent venue, dedicated to the community and its upstanding members, welcomes kinksters of all levels, from newcomers to seasoned souls who have paved the way for our shared proclivities. Proceeds from the space are reinvested to enhance the experience for fellow friends and kink enthusiasts.
Currently, the playspace boasts various amenities, with plans for expansion, including a well, a sizable dungeon, a kitchen, a concert and presenting stage, a large inground pool, a brew shack, a smokehouse, a sauna, rental rooms, and vendor areas. Contributions in the form of materials, time, equipment use, woodcutting, and donations are appreciated to expedite the development and provide the necessary amenities for diverse types of play.
This collaborative space encourages input from the community. If you have ideas or wish to contribute to the campground's development, step forward, and let's create an environment for everyone to enjoy.
Whether you want to plan a party, schedule a venue for friends, or organize events, the playspace accommodates various needs. Priority is given to the kink communities, but vanilla venues are also welcome. Simple rules, outlined in a straightforward waiver, ensure a safe and respectful environment. Violations may result in discussions or, if necessary, a polite request to leave.
The playspace is more than just a venue; it's a home. Attendees are expected to act responsibly, respect personal boundaries, and foster a community of kindness. Egos, narcissists, predators, consent violators, and any form of shaming have no place here.
Equipped with canopies, a flatiron propane grill, heaters, brick firepits, an above-ground pool, and rental RVs, the playspace provides a comfortable setting for socializing, cooking, and enjoying various activities. The host continually works to improve the space, adding amenities like a new access road, gravel for parking, and grass to reduce dust.
Devoting several years to this full-time endeavor, the host extends this space as a gesture of gratitude to those who have helped find their true path and purpose. All kinksters are invited to experience freedom in this supportive community provided by the host, a fellow kinkster and friend, yet to be met.

FAQs
ARe their restrooms on site?
Yes. Silverdreams Kinky Campground employs a number of permanent wooden toilet structures on the facility. These are routinely cleaned by camp staff and are pumped regularly. There will be toilet paper, hand sanitizer and basic feminine hygiene products available in the restrooms.
Are there showers?
The campground has stated that there may be limited hot water showers available in time for Hearts 2025. These will be purchasable on site through tickets for those who are interested (to pay for propane heating). If this is not your cup of tea, we do have an outdoor solar shower for those who don’t mind being watched. The camp also has a “private” enclosed stall that is fed by a large capacity set of solar heated water tanks. Please using sparingly so others may enjoy. For those looking for something more standard, the campground is 35 minutes north of Spokane, and multiple rest stops with full service showers are available there.
Is there power available for charging items?
Yes, there are power cables available at the camp in designated locations to charge devices if need be. These may be in high demand, so if possible, you may want to bring something to charge with you. Our power is provided by a solar charging station with 2 panels, and if a device absolutely must be charged we have access to a generator in the event that the solar panels are taxed. Also, we have campers who utilize RV’s and private charging stations who are typically more than willing to help in the event of a needed charge.
Is the outdoor dungeon equipped?
The campground has multiple play items on the facilities including: a cross, benches, massage table, suspension rigs, sex swings and other kink furniture. For those who attended last year, the campground has made some additions to the available furniture to ensure that all participants who wish to play have the ability to do so.
Cell service
From experience of those on the property:
Verizon does not have good data service at the campground, though there are points of high ground where data is possible, though slow.
AT&T seems to maintain both data and voice on the property, although data will not be at full 5G speeds.
For those who need something a bit more reliable, the Campground will provide attendees with Star Link digital services for a $10.00 cash fee for the week. This fee will be paid directly to the Campground during the event.
Are there places nearby to shop?
Yes, the campground is just north of Springdale, and a full service grocery store 1 mile from the campground. This store stocks everything from liquor to toiletries to basic supplies. Across the street from this location is a service station which has gas/diesel by card only. 6 miles away is Loon Lake which has a Dollar general and (as mentioned in our coffee FAQ) specialty coffee spots. Slightly further away (30 mins), you will find a Yoke’s as well as standard fast food options for those so inclined.
What about coffee?
There is traditional drip coffee made on site, and for those with a need for something with a sleeve and a shot or two of espresso in it, there is a coffee shop a 15 minute drive from the camp that serves specialty coffee drinks. Be careful, this location serves very tasty beverages and we will not be held responsible for any addictions that result.
What is being served in the hosted brunch?
Typically the menu for the Heart Hearts Hosted Brunch is not set until roughly a month before the event. We are aware of dietary restrictions of many of our guests and so will make as many options available as possible (Vegetarian, Pork Substitutes etc.). More details will be made available to our guests once we get closer to the event for planning.
I heard you have rental RV units!
Sadly we will not have Rental Trailer/RV Units this year for Hearts 2025. The campground has cut down on the amount of these units and as such, we will not have them available for the event.
Pets
Pets are usually not allowed at the facility, and are only permitted with prior approval directly from the campground. It is expected you will keep the your pet or service animal either with you at or at your campsite.
We ask that you police your furry companions waste assiduously and keep them from becoming a negative influence on the other event goers.
Please contact us for more details if necessary.
T-SHirts
One of the great perks of purchasing a ticket to our event is that it includes an event T-shirt! T-shirts are provided exclusively to attendees who are physically present at the event, with sizing selected during the ticket purchase process.
If your size changes after purchasing your ticket, please notify us by June 20th to update your order. After this date, size adjustments will no longer be possible. Each ticket includes one T-shirt, and we are unable to accommodate duplicate orders or sell additional T-shirts at the event.
Please note that tickets purchased after June 20th will not include a T-shirt. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at the event!
Can I bring an RV?
There are a limited number of RV slots available for the event. Please contact the organizers through theheartsteam@gmail.com or fetlife to check on the status of those slots. Please ensure when purchasing tickets that you have indicated whether you will need a slot and please only request 1 slot per RV unit. Each individual who plans to stay in that slot does not need to check the box, only the primary driver who will be responsible for parking and maintenance. Typically 36 foot and smaller are necessary due to the road leading into the campground itself not facilitating larger vehicles. Once your tickets are confirmed after purchase a slot number will be assigned with your official ticket number from the Hearts Team.
What if there is bad weather?
The campground has a covered gathering area in the event of bad weather. The organizers are planning cover from the elements as much as possible, as well as a canopy over the pool.
How long will the classes run?
Classes are scheduled for 1 hour. Some classes may conclude before this point, and some may take slightly longer based on the needs of the presenter and of the attendees. You can review our class schedule and activities HERE.
Refunds
Refunds for tickets are available up to 1 month before the event. If you are facing extreme life circumstances a refund may be available after this point based on the judgement of the organizing houses. Refunds will have a $10.00 service charge attached to cover banking fees and transaction fees charged to us by these insitituions.
are people accepting at this event and what do you mean by “This is a Vetted Event”?
We take pride in fostering a positive and welcoming atmosphere for everyone who attends a Hearts Event. However, please note that attendance at this event requires vetting. Vetting is a process where a committee member or someone known to the committee vouches for an individual, confirming their participation in the community and their commitment to upholding the facility's rules, including standards of consent and respect.
If you are not personally known to the organizers or affiliated houses, we strongly encourage you to contact us before purchasing a ticket. This will help avoid any issues with the vetting process.
Tickets are limited, and if your vetting is not approved, your ticket will be fully refunded. You will also receive an invitation to attend other socials and events to become better acquainted with the community. We look forward to connecting with you!
