The RV Garden Spot is situated by three gardens on our ranch: A heavenly scented and restful flower garden with hanging basket seats and swing; a peaceful rose garden with stream and fish pond complete with goldfish and koi; and a fruitful vegetable garden.
RV View Spot has an amazing view
right outside your door. It has lots of green grass for pets and children to run and play, or just sit in your lawn chair and enjoy the spectacular view.
In fair weather, enjoy moseying through our 13 acres of century old oaks, swinging in antique tree swings with amazing views, and picnicking in our private park.

Our ranch is located less than 30 minutes from the picturesque and historic cities of Silverton, and Mount Angel. Nearby nature attractions include Silver Falls State Park, The Oregon Gardens, Champoeg Park, Feyrer Park and many more.

Being able to communicate in five languages gave us the opportunity to interact with people from various cultures, try new foods, and learn about new history and experiences. We love seeing the world, with our favorite destinations being Mexico, Dubai, and Canada. Also, we love camping and decided to create a little private camping ground and farm lodge for people who wish to camp without huge expense. We try hard to make each guest’s stay wonderfully memorable.

The location is in farm country at the edge of the Cascade foothills between Mt. Angel and the Marquam area, with expansive views to the east of the Cascade Mountains all the way to the coastal mountains to the west.

Jsm Ranch started in 2004 when we moved from Oregon City.
This once was a working farm with two chicken barns and a meat locker barn. All had fallen into disrepair before taking ownership.
In 2007 we planted 200 trees and 100 shrubs to build a new fish and wildlife habitat along Woodcock Creek. We then focused on building fence along the Molalla River to protect water quality.
From there, we started raising Black Angus in 2008 after spending four years cleaning up the fields to make it safe for animals. We strive to be good stewards with our land as we continue to work with Clackamas Soil and Water to make better working lands.
You're only minutes away from the town of Molalla to grab a bite, groceries or other camp items. Also have Molalla Rodeo just 3 minutes away on
Splat Action Paintball is just five minutes away. Open all year.

Weekend/weekday get away with indoor and outdoor activities ! Grange Hall Garden's RV spots include a 30' X 70' Grange type hall with restroom with tub and shower, and kitchen.
Rain or shine, get away for a refreshing time. The RV Garden Spot is situated by three gardens on our ranch: A heavenly scented and restful flower garden with hanging basket seats and swing; a peaceful rose garden with stream and fish pond complete with goldfish and koi; and a fruitful vegetable garden.
RV View Spot has an amazing view
right outside your door. It has lots of green grass for pets and children to run and play, or just sit in your lawn chair and enjoy the spectacular view.
In fair weather, enjoy moseying through our 13 acres of century old oaks, swinging in antique tree swings with amazing views, and picnicking in our private park.
This is a working ranch with goats and nearby cattle. Therefore, we have livestock guard dogs whose job it is to bark at coyotes and let them know that they are not welcome on our property. Expect to hear the dogs warning potential predators to stay away, especially at night.
Our ranch is located less than 30 minutes from the picturesque and historic cities of Silverton, and Mount Angel. Nearby nature attractions include Silver Falls State Park, The Oregon Gardens, Champoeg Park, Feyrer Park and many more. To the north you can enjoy the scenic town of Estacada and its many nearby city, county and state parks for boating, hiking, fishing, and site seeing. We are also a short, breath taking, hour and a half drive to either Hood River and Mount Hood recreational activities or the beautiful Oregon coast.

Bear Hollow is a special place. Valerie and George are sweet and gracious hosts. It is a privilege for the rest of us that they offer this heavenly bit of planet earth for the rest of us to enjoy.
Clearly a labor of love, the grounds are well maintained and spectacular. I honestly can not put in words how much I enjoyed my time here. I am already looking forward to my next stay.
Many sincere thanks to the Bears for offering up this magnificent hollow for Hipcampers to experience in all of its splendor."

We had a great time. Ended up booking the entire place and it was worth it. Kids were able to fish for a while. Definitely want to come back during the summer time so we can enjoy the river. Host was really nice and barely noticed her being there. Between the river and the large hammock it was a win for the kids. 10/10 would encourage others.

This was our 2nd time to visit this site. This time we had multiple people with us and it was just as wonderful! Close location to the water, clean bathrooms, nice outdoor kitchen area with vending machine and tables etc... James, the host, is always attentive, around if needed and responsive. Very nice place and we will be back.

Been here multiple times but always a great experience every time. What an awesome awesome place to have a campsite right next to the river. We got a sunny summer weather in October surprisingly! Didn’t miss that chance to enjoy the river, cold but feels relaxing. What a beautiful and well maintained sanctuary is Molalla Ripple. Jim as a host has always been responsive and accommodating. Thanks again!

Our group rented sites 4 through 8. Jim is a very good host and stopped to say hi after he got off work. Property is continuously being improved and upgraded on. Hope to do this again with our group soon. We even had our 4 month old grandson and daughter with us.

We really enjoyed our stay here at this farm. James was so helpful with everything. We had a beautiful location right on the river. It was also nice that we could add on extra amenities such as ice firewood, and a shower. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved this place. We rented the entire place for 7 of us and it was perfect! Melanie was super friendly, but really stayed out of our way and respected our privacy. The river access was right next to camp, and there was lots of area to spread out. The lounge chairs by the river were a great touch.
A few things to note for future campers:
-there is only 1 firepit, so if you don’t rent the entire space, it’s possible you will have more limited access to the pit, or will have to share.
-Melanie’s house is right in the middle of the hipcamp area. At first we were skeptical, but with it being a working farm, she was rarely home, and when she was home we barely noticed. It was not an issue at all
-the dogs are lovely and got along great with the pups we brought
- I can only make this comment for the time we were there on a weekend in mid September: there is a possibility there will be gunfire in the immediate vicinity. Hunting season is near, so this may have led to an increase, but there was very loud gunfire all day Saturday. The neighbors range was likely 200yds from the firepit. There were also people shooting just across the river. Obviously Melanie has no control over this, but I wanted to make people aware in case that would be an issue for them.
Even with the gunfire, this place is still a 5/5 and I would recommend to groups large or small!
Visiting all of the chickens/turkeys and sheep was a great bonus!

Camping on a farm with a wonderful valley view. Cows and goats everywhere. Cows are very talkative and I rather enjoyed it. Nice to have a facility besides your trailer to use a bathroom and kitchen sink. Location was great, Mt.Angel and Silverton just 15 minutes away.

Great spot to stop by the river. Not hard to find, close to town, and lots of amenities. If able or available I suggest sites 4-8 they have a much better view of the river. I had site 3 which was fine for the price. It is right next to the common area and showers so expect some traffic and visitors. Very clean porta potties scattered next to the sites. Lights strung above the sites was a cute touch. (shut off at 10pm) Also have 24 hr vending machine- i didn't use but thought it was handy for a soda or candy! I also suggest looking at the extras available.. next time hoping to do the retreat experience. Saw my neighbors getting ready to soak in a trough right at their site overlooking the river..how cool!
