🏕️ Welcome to Vanhala: Your Mt. Hood Autumn Basecamp This private, half-acre retreat offers adventurers, travelers, and weekend warriors a cozy place to rest, recharge, and reconnect beneath a canopy of Douglas Firs. Cool nights, crisp mornings, and the smell of woodsmoke make fall at Vanhala one of the best times to stay. ⸻ 🔥 Campfire Policy (Read Me!) A propane fire pit is always available and included. Wood fires are permitted in our two fire rings when local conditions allow — but during moderate to high NFS fire danger, restrictions may apply. Please respect posted fire bans. Propane fire use is permitted year-round, so you’ll always have a warm place to gather. ⸻ 🍂 What you’ll find at Vanhala this fall: • ⚡ 30-amp power service + 120V adapter • 🚿 Hot shower (perfect after a chilly hike) • 💧 Clean, potable water • 🔥 Two wood fire pits + propane pit for cozy evenings • 🏕️ Spacious, 20x12 covered hangout area (fully weatherproof — four-season comfort) • 🚐 Level, compacted gravel pads for van/RV parking • 🐾 Fully fenced site — dog friendly! We provide treats and a water bowl ⸻ 🍁 Your stay also includes a weatherproof supply bin with: • TP, body wash, shampoo, soap • Candles, matches, charcoal • Dog treats + dog bowl • Backup toiletries • A clean camp toilet with bark cover and scented cotton swabs (Note: bring your own system if preferred. Guests must pack out all waste and trash.) ⸻ 🧭 Perfectly Situated — But Feels Remote • Just 1 mile from groceries, fuel, coffee, wine tasting, bakery, hiking, and auto repair • 12 minutes to Government Camp • 6 minutes to Lolo Pass • A great stop for vanlifers chasing fall foliage, Portlanders on a weekend getaway, or early-season skiers looking to beat the crowds ⸻ ⚠️ Important Note – Natural Setting This is a forested site. Autumn means incredible colors and crisp mountain air, but also seasonal realities — like falling branches during windstorms. Please park and camp at your own risk, and stay alert to changing weather conditions. ⸻ 🍂 Whether you’re a nomad, a weekend warrior, or just need a quiet night under the autumn trees — come pitch camp at Vanhala and experience the best of fall on Mt. Hood
