This property was once part of a 200 acre cattle ranch turned into a Christian community. The families shared meals, home-schooled their children and had a home-based church. They raised their own food in a 3 acre garden and orchard along with chickens and cows for milk, meet and eggs. Two of the original families still own some of the acres although the community was dissolved and much of the property sold to other people. Learn more about this land: We love sharing our beautiful land with those that love nature. The sunsets, the peace and the birdsong are the best.  Pets are welcome and you can walk through the forest with them on dirt pathways or keep them in your campsite. Please keep pets out of our area, as our dog is very protective and has been known to have scuffles with other animals approaching. Grassy areas are available to set up tents or have picnics. There are firepits for when the burn ban is not on (a wheelbarrow full of wood for $5). The campsites are large and spaced quite far from each other.  Please stay on gravel roadways with all motor vehicles.  There are two outhouses for tents campers. There is one non-potable water spigot by the log outhouse. There is no electricity on the property.  For your own safety and peace of mind, please keep all food in bear safe containers or locked in your cars. If you forget anything, the Washougal River Mercantile is two miles away where you can buy gas and groceries.  Local hiking trails on the Columbia Gorge:  Cape Horn Trail just 3 miles from our property and Beacon Rock/Hamilton Mountain trail is a 15 minute drive.   We can give you directions to our favorite swimming hole for cooling down on hot summer days in the Washougal river. (Discovery Pass required at the river) parking spot. Buy those at the Mercantile as well)

Site 2 Woodland Wonder
And first place goes to…..
I just have to say that this campsite is by far our favorite out of all the hip camps we have stayed at some of the other hip camps. We’ve been to have felt less like camping and more like parking in RV at somebody’s house. I have not had a bad experience at any Hipcamp however, this place was the best experience. The property is absolutely beautiful. We lucked out and had incredible weather for November. We live in Troutdale where it’s super windy and it was so nice to get away from the wind. We went on a walk around the property and on the first day we saw several deer. When we first arrived, it was dark and we were a little nervous about pulling in there, because it looks questionable, but it was so easy to get our trailer in and back into the spot. They have a well bathroom and inside they had reading material, deodorant and lotion. They also had water and soap outside so you can wash your hands. We were able to run our generator the entire time with no complaints, and there was a gentleman who lived on the property who was available when we had questions. I would recommend this Hipcamp to anyone.

No daylight
Due to our plans, we did not get to the site until well after dark and left before daybreak in the AM. Rhoda’s directions were spot on and there is plenty of space at the site. Although it was dark, we could tell the surroundings were beautiful.

Everything was great. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. If possible, get there when there is light in the sky. It was a little difficult figuring out where to put the RV at dark because there aren't any lights, which is also part of the charm. We loved it and want to go back!

First hipcamp experience.
Campsite and trails are really nice. You can see the host’s property from the sites but it’s not too close, still private. Outhouse was very clean, had a sawdust system to keep the smell under control. Hosts were very kind, when we ran out of wood they brought more directly to our site and charged us next to nothing for it. Luna the dog is sweet and plays fetch. We used site number 2 to camp in our car. Good for two but also would have fit a group. Would stay here again.

Serene and close to town.
Rhoda has some amazing land close to the Columbia River Gorge. With easy access to Washougal, WA for anything you might need. Tent sites are set up for groups with plenty of space and the new outhouse is clean and stocked. Thanks for hosting Rhoda.
