9.2mi from Astoria · 4 sites · Tents, Lodging
Escape to 13 acres of peaceful Pacific Northwest forest where the Columbia River meets towering trees, and stillness replaces the noise of everyday life. Wake to bald eagles calling overhead. Spend your days hiking wooded trails, watching river traffic, or listening to waves lap the rocky shore. Gather around evening fires under the stars, surrounded by nothing but wind in the trees and the quiet you've been craving.
This place is great for:
- Solo adventurers and couples wanting private, self-sufficient camping
- Artists and creatives seeking inspiring retreat space
- Meditation and forest bathing groups drawn to collective quiet
- Scouts, clubs, or church groups seeking authentic outdoor experiences
- Intentional small gatherings—low-key family reunions or friend groups united by peace, not parties
There are three distinct areas to Hidden Pillar. Creekside and/or Riverside camp site bookings do not include access to structures at the cabin.
- Off-grid cabin with wood stove, composting toilet, solar power, outdoor kitchen with basic supplies and grill, picnic shelter, and group camp (up to 10 tents)
- Creekside primitive camp on a bluff overlooking the river—secluded, wooded
- Riverside clearing with picnic table, fire pit and river views—most accessible site including access for some RV's
All sites include access to on-site trails, shared Columbia River shoreline access, and portable toilets.
What to Know Before You Book
The cabin sleeps 3 adults comfortably and has basic amenities inside: bed and futon with bedding, chairs and table, games and a small library. The outdoor kitchen includes two picnic tables, a gas and charcoal grill with burner, basic cooking equipment, and dishes for 8. Propane and wood fire pits are included.
Camping at Hidden Pillar is a primitive, off-grid experience:
- No electricity; no running water
- Bring all water or purification system; pack out all trash
- Gravel roads are steep and rutted—high-clearance vehicle recommended for cabin and Creekside access
Hidden Pillar Retreat provides easy access to Southwest Washington Coast beaches, historic river towns (Skamokawa, Cathlamet, Astoria), Julia Butler Hansen Wildlife Refuge, and excellent boating/kayaking.

Welcome to the emerald green River front and swimming hole for adults and children 5 years of age and older.... PLEASE READ the description for each site. Photos reflect the whole property not just 1 camp site. (Swimming hole is deep) There are lots of shallow places for kids. Let's chat if you want a younger child. I am flexible. All sites have access to the river and the beach. Great for biking on the quiet little country Rd that is split between the the river sites and other sites. Playing on the beach, swimming and exploring the surrounding area. Watch and listen for the magic of the fish jump (fishing allowed with license) Lots of wildlife! Visit the only working covered bridge in Washington State. Bring a kayak or floaties. Ride your bike on a beautiful country road. The water is very amazing and surrounded by woods. There are 2 sites directly on the river and 2 about 50' from the river with a river view. A few miles away is a little restaurant called Duffy's. Open only Thu - Sunday. It is 12 miles to nearest town in both directions for a store and gas. There is a Porta potty and picnic tables. No potable water yet so please bring your own. A contained fire allowed. Wood is available to buy. Most phones get service. No electric at this time. Pet friendly. Pets must be on a leash for their safety. ( You should be able to let you dogs run free down at the end of the beach) Life jackets are highly recommended for people who can't swim. Two sites have a little country rd that is between you and the riverfront that hardly gets used. The river is a stone throw away. Only 26 miles to Astoria Oregon and 34 miles to Long Beach Washington. There is a old farmhouse on the top of the hill that is not lived in. I store my tools in there that I use. All sites are huge. There will be other campers. Thank you

Twisted Tree Camp s a 13 acre property about 5 miles north of Long Beach, Washington. The property is long and skinny, we have built road that accesses the back of the property. The campsite is in the middle of the woods, you can wake up to many birds singing and no neighbors in sight. In the evening you can listen to the frogs singing while you stare at th campfire.
The road winds thru the trees and this is not suitable for vehicles longer than 23 feet or wider than 8 feet.
There are multiple twisted trees along the road as you drive in to the campsite. We have recently built the road to the campsite at the back of the land so there is still evidence of recent construction along the road.
There are two cameras on site - one at the entrance along Pacific Way and one by the campsite at the end of the road. Cameras are there to monitor the site after hipcampers have left and will not be on while campers have rented the space.
Nearby there is SnowPeak Campfield that has a sauna and hot tub. There are many restaurants and public beaches to experience. During the summer there are numerous events like the kite festival, sandcastle festival, Rod Run and others.

This campground was developed in the 1950s by a husband and wife team and later passed to their children. My partner and I were lucky enough to purchase it in Oct 2020 and our goal is to bring it to its original beauty and charm with the most up to date amenities. It's still a work in progress! Long Beach Peninsula has been a family vacation destination for a long time and there's so much fun to be had on every inch of land!
Located centrally between Leadbetter Point and Cape Disappointment, we have 16 full hookup RV sites (30 amp power/water/septic/Wifi) close enough to enjoy the fun of Long Beach and Ocean Park, but far enough to retreat to your camp for quiet and relaxation. Hang out in the rec room or at a fire pit, play horseshoes or bocce ball with family, or take a short walk down our dune path to watch the sun set on the ocean.

This was an awesome spot for a campervan setup — the views up the coast were insane. You could see from the beach at Arch Cape all the way up to Haystack Rock and to Tillamook Head. Totally stunning. Watching sunset/sunrise from our van up there was so special.
Lots of sign of elk but we only saw one lone guy across the next little valley from us.
The road was about the same “roughness” as a standard forest service road - nothing crazy. Just rocky and steep. Our AWD Transit made it just fine.
We were there as the weather transitioned from dry, warm, sunny to fog and mist - and the winds up there were pretty dramatic that night given how exposed it is. Something to keep in mind if you were to tent camp!
All in all, a super special place and we were so happy to have had the experience. We’ll be back!

Elk Cove campsite was great! Very clean and secluded! We could occasionally hear other campers or hikers passing in the distance but didn’t see anyone else from our site. We comfortably fit a camper van, SUV, and a large tent. It was also great for our dogs! They were able to roam around off leash and the surrounding brush was so think they were discouraged from going too far. The scenery was beautiful and the location was very convenient for getting to town and other beaches.
The entrance gate wasn’t too complicated at all!
