Camping at Windward Forest brings such peace and joy! This was our second time there and far from our last! Walt's generosity overflows and it's hard to not feel welcome. We'll be back soon!

My partner and I really enjoyed our weekend getaway at the Windward Co-op! Walt communicated very well with us and provided very clear instructions. The land is beautiful and you will have plenty to explore! This campground offers tranquil isolation, yet also has enough amenities that make a weekend camping trip fun for beginners and experts alike! I will definitely be camping here again as long as Walt will have us back!

I have already been recommending it to nearly everyone who will listen! Our weekend at The Windward Forest was magical, not just because of the meteor shower! The location between climate regions led to diverse vegetation and a cool spot during the recent heat wave. We felt warmth and welcomed by Walt, who shared a lot about the history of the land. We will be back to hear the rest of the story soon, bringing bunches with us, if all our friends who have now gotten excited tag along, too!

Super peaceful with a great host!
Super peaceful. Walt stopped shortly after my arrival and gave me a little rundown on the property, and the cool things they are doing to promote sustainable living. Need to unplug? This is the place! Can't wait to return when the fire danger has passed. I definitely want to sit around a fire at night in this place!

Walt was excellent at communicating and met up with us to show us our site. There was flat ground for our tent, trees for our hammock, and a picnic table to sit at. Everything we needed for a night in the gorge. The place was quiet and nobody else around! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed camping at this peaceful private spot and would return. We got the benefit of being the only ones there so I’m not sure what exactly the situation would look like with other groups. The natural burial cemetery was very inspiring to see. Recommend having a high clearance vehicle as there are gravel roads throughout the property that are worn. Well functioning showers, bathrooms, and drinkable water were a plus. Enjoy!
