Happy 2024 Hipcampers! We look forward to seeing you this upcoming season! Check out our newest addition- a fully furnished 2-bedroom house (Site 7)!! Note: If you are looking to book the property for a retreat please go to the business website or contact me directly for answers to all the questions you might have about a kitchen (in site 7), amenities if you don't see them here, special considerations, etc.! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! BEFORE BOOKING: Please read through all of the rules and restrictions- due to inconsiderate guests we have had to update rules and add new ones. Thank you. **IF YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR DOG: PLEASE read ALL the rules for your pet- especially the one about having your dog on a leash AT ALL times while you are on the property. Take note that there is a nightly fee when you bring your dog (MAXIMUM 2 dogs per site), make sure to select it under 'Extras" when you book! More info under the pet rule section. Thank you! Waterfall Sanctuary is a hidden gem at the end of a dead-end road on 17 acres of land, bordered on two sides by the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge just outside of Carson, Washington, Waterfall Sanctuary is home to a mini-farm with goats, ducks, and chickens. Deer and elk walk through the property on a fairly regular basis depending on the season, it's less than a mile walk (or a short drive) to the Wind River and a perfect swimming hole with a rope swing, and another short distance further down the road is the Pacific Crest Trail. A 20-minute drive and you're at the Columbia River, the world destination for kiteboarding and windsurfing. Water equipment can be rented from nearby businesses or you can book a whitewater rafting trip on the White Salmon River. An hour from the property to the West is Portland, Oregon if you are in the mood for some city life, and about 40 minutes to the east is Hood River, Oregon, a gorgeous old town with tons of charm, shopping, breweries, and great restaurants. Drive the Fruit Loop or do a winery tour. The closest town, Stevenson, Washington is also home to adorable shops, great local restaurants, and access to the Columbia River as well. Also in close proximity are multitudes of amazing waterfalls, Panther Creek Falls and Falls Creek Falls being the two closest. National Forest roads are close by and well maintained. No matter the season there is something to do a short distance from the property. Please, keep in mind that the property is very rugged except for the trails we have provided for our guests to be able to access other parts of the property. We keep it that way not only so we can attract the copious amounts of wildlife that are a joy for our guests to experience, but also to be more environmentally and ecosystem friendly. We are also off grid and as sustainable as possible- no electricity or running water is available, although we provide battery or solar operated lighting, and a container of water for each spot that we will happily refill for you during your stay.

Site 5- Sunset View Tent

We decided to camp here on a whim and had a nice time. The property is small and intimate. The tent was beautifully decorated in a boho fashion and was very spacious and inviting. The site was private and clean. The property was quiet and I really liked the use of lights throughout that really gave it a nice ambiance.

Site 1- Stargazer Tent

Weekend Oasis in the Gorge

Tyla’s camp was an awesome way to spend our Memorial Day weekend in the Gorge. I loved the little touches to the campsite, in addition to the local recommendations. Tyla and her boys were very attentive to our needs and answered any questions promptly. I’d definitely return again!

Site 4- Tree Shade Tent

No falls name misleading

Site #4 isn’t very nice. Extremely small. Seems like they just took an excavator carved out some spots that were semi-flat slapped a table and a makeshift fire pit and called it good. The exposed tree roots caused tripping hazards. Parking is horrible. There is no waterfall’s so the name is very misleading. Everything just seemed like it needed work. Fencing pulled down from weeds causing lighting to be on the ground. 30 minutes of work could have that taken care of definitely an eye sore. I purchased water that the host offers as artisan it’s well water she handed me in an old well used vinegar jug. You’ll hear gun shots throughout the whole day. We booked for two nights and were ready to leave after the first night. The host was very friendly but I wouldn’t stay here again. My opinion is they need to stop renting out spots and fix it all up before they reopen.

Site #5

Tyla's land and tent we stayed in #5 were awesome. She was super friendly and accommodating. We felt that site #5 had some beautiful views and plenty of privacy apart from any of the other sites.
