Adam and Eve is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
We are new stewards and first-time homeowners of this serene, 10.5 acre homestead. 'Modern' human development on this land first began in old logging days in the early 1900s and old logging access road still runs through the center of our property. When we purchased this land in 2020, we knew we were investing in a real 'fixer-upper'. The original Buckminster Fuller geodome home was built back in the 1970s, and the outbuildings and garden spaces were later added on as the property changed hands over the decades. By the time we landed here, however, the home was in severe state of neglect. As we continue to care for and restore this home and land, we aim to use environmentally sustainable practices to minimize our impact on the land while upcycling, recycling, and re-using anything we can in the process! Follow our progress on Instagram at: @dome.sweet.home!**Hey there Hipcamp community, thanks for another great season! We've officially shut down ye ole' campsite for the winter, but reservations are OPEN starting May 5th. Spring is the best time to be here, when wildflowers are in full bloom. See you then!** Nestled among a quiet grove of oak trees, your camping oasis awaits. Kick back in the hammock after a long day of hiking or saunter up Turkey Tail Ridge for a sunset view - bring some wine and a picnic blanket! Nestled in the rolling hills above Lyle, WA, in the Columbia River Gorge, this site is minutes away from trailheads, hikes, swimming, boating and fishing opps, wineries, and world-class views. A mere 25 minutes from Hood River, White Salmon, and The Dalles, you'll love this centrally-located spot.  Simple yet serene, your site offers the convenience of: * A composting poogoda * A common area with a fire pit, hammock and picnic table * A compost bin * Access to two hiking trails leading to views of Mt. Hood, and * Three small 1-2 person tent sites In the morning, arise to the pleasant sounds of nature - if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the wild turkeys or deer. In the evening, relax under the twinkle of fairy lights and the night stars. Please be aware that cell reception can be quite fuzzy out here, and poison oak abounds to the southwest side of the camp. Please stay clear of 'Dante's Grotto' and bring plenty of bug spray!  Burn ban runs June 1st to October 15th, 2024!! PLEASE no fires - we live in a high fire danger zone. Propane cooking stoves, however, are allowed by the county.  There are 3 newly added tent sites tucked under the pine and oak trees. They are suitable for 1-2 person size small tents. Each site averages roughly 10 feet in diameter. They are not totally level yet, but you're welcome to use them - bring extra padding and thank you for your patience as we slowly chip away leveling out the hard dirt. **Please note** We live off of a backcountry road, and unfortunately, you can hear some intermittent road noise as cars travel through the valley. We have earplugs in the 'poogoda' if you're a light sleeper. Thankfully, the site is tucked away from road and out of view! As we head into summer, evening temps can still get quite cool. Make sure to bring plenty of layers and extra blankets! It can get quite windy in the gorge and in the site, especially in the evenings. Please carry out all your trash and recycling - food waste can go in the compost bin located across the road from the poogoda. Keep in mind that there is no water at the campsite - if you need to refill your water jugs, let us know! We are happy to re-up you as needed. We are a young couple actively restoring this property, and are working hard to ensure that we have minimal impact on this land. Thus, we upcycled or recycled everything we could for the campsite -- the poogoda was recently built from upcycled wood of an old dog fence by the house! Feel free to wander the land, being mindful to stay within the property fence line. If you're bringing canine companions, please keep them within sight at all times, as we have 2 cats on the property ... and, our neighbors own animals and other doggies. We will continue to develop the site over time, so if you have any ideas, let us know! Looking for hiking recommendations? We're happy to refer our fave spots.  We look forward to welcoming you!

Camping with dogs!
Great stay here at Adam and Eve's! They site is secluded enought that we could let our dogs explore a bit without feeling like we are going to run into anyone. Hosts were super helpful and communicative. Composting toilet is a perk as we are used to not having access to a toilet at all.

Camping with a Reactive Dog!
I love camping on Adam and Eves land, they were kind enough to open it up for us for the weekend! The site is beautiful and well kept, and as long as you follow the directions given you’ll make it right to camp! Highly suggest the garden of Eden! For anyone camping with a reactive dog, this spot is perfect, it is totally isolated from any other campers And had a great amount of space to stroll and sniff !

Best concierge in the woods, ever
Never has concierge service been so friendly, generous and consistent. Not at a five star hotel, not even at a friends house! Hands down, the experience of a typical spot in the woods was transformed in to a special and magical adventure, seeing the world thru some very wonderful host’s eyes. Thank you!

Thoughtful & imaginative
It’s rare to find a Hipcamp that is so thoughtfully assembled that it is hard to find a flaw: Adam & Eve’s is one such place. You can tell that lots of consideration and imagination went into creating a space that is functional, practical and just plain fun. From the playful fairy lights to the reading materials in the outhouse to the outdoor rugs and pillows on the site, everything shouts “welcome, relax.” Did I mention it is completely private? Yes, you get the whole campsite to you/your group. The drive up Canyon Road is easy, the directions are solid and the short trip down the gravel and on the dirt will be easy for the vast majority of vehicles. (Owners of Corvette and Lotus cars should check in at Skamania Lodge.) I know I’ll be returning.
