Weekend Trip to Little Creek

No issues whatsoever camping here. Easy to find, easy access to a bathroom, easy communication with host, and nice and quiet at night. All in all, a great experience.

Weekend Trip to Micone Ranch

Tammy was very welcoming. Great place and the farm animals were fun to be around.

Weekend Trip to Little Creek

This pla e is really nice, the house has the old southern house vive with big trees, Kim is a great host, she tried to accommodate all my needs, the driveway down to the house it's gravel but really very easy , I've made it with my 28ft trailer. You can use the firepit, she has smores ready to go. I would totally recomand the place. Also super close with Caldwell downtown, that is cute with great places to eat.

1 night at Little Creek

Just a small, quiet campground which has had a lot of improvements from the previous year. We loved our stay last time and throughly enjoyed staying here again. The owner was not in town so we were greeted by her friend who was house sitting. She was super cool and gave us several recommendations of restaurants in the area. I was not cooking after our long day of travel!! I really enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the birds and fresh country air verses the road noise when we have to stop at a Cracker barrel or rest stop. We will definitely come here again, next time we are traveling through. This place is close to I 84 so very easy to get to.

Weekend Trip to Cagle Cove

Very well kept. The spot is close to town yet I never felt it. Sounds, smells & the feel of camping. Hosts take good care of guests too. Very much enjoyed my stay.

1 night at Cagle Cove

We were only here a short period of time. The area was beautiful and peaceful. Their dog was super friendly and we loved having her around the campsite. The house were very responsive and it was a nice time.

7 nights at Cagle Cove

We loved camping by the babbling stream. We had a blast taking the row boat on the pond out to the island. Turkeys, pheasants, ducks, heron, owl, etc. came around. Lilly was the best host dog! We hope to come back next year. We enjoyed being close to nature and still only a half hour to visit family in Meridian.

Weekend Trip to Cagle Cove

Cagle Cove is an absolutely awesome place to camp. It's a quiet and peaceful place that I highly recommend. There are many different birds singing and flying around and the Hosts and their friendly dog (love her) are the best. I will definitely be going back. The pond is so cool 😎 and it's private

1 night at Cagle Cove

We had a terrific stay on Beth's land. The setting was lovely and tranquil. We were serenaded to sleep by the creek and awakened to beautiful birdsong. We'll return!

1 night at Cagle Cove

Amazing spot! Private. Secluded. So cute! And the property dog Lilly is the best camp mate, we were instant besties! I will definitely be going back.

Weekend Trip to Cagle Cove

We enjoyed our time at Cagle Cove. Our kids loved running around the pond and exploring. We were early in the season so maybe the pond needs to be cleaned and stocked up but we still had a great time. The hosts were awesome and even brought us a lighter because we forgot one!

Weekend Trip to Cagle Cove

We used this as a Basecamp to attend our daughter's lacrosse games. The setting was beautiful and you can tell the owners put lots of effort into maintaining it. We had an equipment issue that was going to be an expensive fix but Beth immediately helped us with a solution! Of course, Mayor Lilly is the highlight of the camp. If my daughter plays on this area again, we will stay here!

Weekend Trip to Micone Ranch

Stopped over in the dark and found easy directions to a private hill. Paid for two vehicles. Nice and quiet, then we left at dawn to continue south. Perfect place to stop. Beautiful sunrise from here. I hope to arrive earlier next time. Would have loved to feed the goats.

1 night at Micone Ranch

Great place to stay for the night. Lot's of chickens with for or so beautiful roosters. Nice gazebo fire pit area. The beef we bought was great. Be sure to eat at the Irish restaurant in Ontario very good homemade food.

Weekend Trip to Cagle Cove

The host was very response! We went too early in the season so I’m excited to go again when the weather is warmer!

Weekend Trip to Micone Ranch

Weekend Trip to Cagle Cove

Awesome communication from Beth! She was very accommodating during the tricky weather we experienced. Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Micone Ranch

I spent a peaceful night at Tamara’s, the location is accurate and I just parked in their front (before the gate to field). I actually like that is easy in and out, have street light (feel safe!) and very flat. Thanks for Tamara and her hubby’s accommodation I did enjoy the night a lot 😊

Micone Ranch

1 site · RV, Tent28 acres · Ontario, OR

Our place is 28 acres. Do not drive into the upper field, there is a stop sign on that gate. It is irrigated, and you could get stuck and cause property damage. Our niche is that we only host one group of people at a time. Whether you are a solo camper or a group of 50, you will never have to compete for space with another group. This also allows for increased safety for single travelers and elderly. We are open year-round but make sure your tires can handle our terrain. Our driveway is immediately off Ontario Heights Rd. Google tells people to turn on Grand View Lane. Do not do this as there is no access to our property from that direction. We have a 300-gallon trash bin next to our mailbox that says camp host. Our driveway is immediately across the road from there. The gate is latched but not locked on the left side. Initial fee covers a spot for one sleeping structure. Add any additional tents/rv/vehicles used for sleeping. You can add extra sleeping structures under the extra tab. Included in options to buy is RV power hook up and EV overnight charging. A small somewhat muddy creek runs through the front of the property year-round. The water is clearer during the winter and spring months. Cleared spots in this area are small so only tent camping in this area is recommended. It is densely wooded. We have goats in this field, they are shy. Oregon has an invasive poisonous weed called Water hemlock. If you camp in this area, familiarize yourself with this plant so you can avoid it. Camping areas have been cleared of this plant but if you wander along the creek you will encounter it. Areas people have liked are up top by the top field gate, or down in the field that our large chicken coop is in. There are no animals in those areas, but chickens do make noises. Up top we have roosters that make noise about 5 am. The lower field on the right is the quietest. If you have children camping near the house is recommended. The bridge at the entrance to our property is 11' wide, which should allow a standard 8' RV to pass into the property. RV hook up is right off the driveway by the power pole. Ground is in its native form and only gets minimal rain. Some weeds and goatheads may be present. Look us up on Facebook under Micone Ranch.
