The Wonder of Wy’east

First and foremost I appreciate the availability of a place to stay in such a remote part of Oregon. I have very mixed feelings though. I hate leaving a bad review but this place really gave me the creeps. It was completely neglected. Even though the directions stated that there are abandoned trailers and vehicles on the property I didn't realize that they were right at the campsite. Being a single women camping alone I had the creepiest feeling being there. Ontop of that the outhouse door wouldn't lock closed and the wind would creak it open then slam it shut all throughout the night so I kept thinking someone was opening doors. I felt like I was in a horror film about to be a victim. On a side note, the view is beautiful and while the picnic table was absolutely destroyed and none of the amenities were usable I feel that with some actual time and care to put this place back together could make it a pretty spot to stay. It just needs a lot of TLC. My current position thought, is at he current price range it is not worth staying the night when there are plenty of creepy places to stay for free.

We had a nice 1 night stay on this beautiful, secluded property. It got really windy at night and through the morning so I was glad we were in an RV and not a tent. Not sure if that is typical for a clear summer night? The highlights were enjoying a spectacular sunset over Mt. Hood on the property and stopping at White River Falls (about 12 miles away).

The Milky Way, the mountains! Beautiful, secluded high desert setting. We spent the majority of our time watching the pair of Western Kingbirds feed their three babies in the nest near the campsite. <3 Loved them. There's little shade and few wind breaks, so mid-summer high desert weather could be a bit brutal, unless you bring your canopy. We also found that the picnic table and grills were unusable, so bring your own cooktops and table space. We had a lovely time nevertheless and would love to come back another time!
