If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic spot to unwind, listen to the river, and reconnect with nature, this is it. Can’t recommend it enough — I’ll definitely be back!

This spot is perfect! Exactly as advertised. A ton of space, very clean & well kept property & camping space. We are avid backpackers so this felt like glamping with the shelter, platform, & lighting. A ton of wildlife (large flocks of wild turkeys + herds of deer, hawks, songbirds) & beautiful scenery. We took all 4 of our dogs for a quick overnight for my wife’s birthday & it was perfect for a chill, fun evening. Great short walking paths. Richard is very nice & welcoming! Would stay again :~)

A truly spectacular location: quiet, private, stunning scenery, wildlife, easy access to hiking and biking and so much more! This is the ideal hipcamp. Immaculately clean, exceptionally well equipped, and everything is done with quality in mind. I can't say enough good about every aspect of this treasure. It is truly a very special spot. Add to that a great host and the natural beauty of the McKenzie Bridge region, the McKenzie River, and the Willamette National Forest and you have a world class Hipcamp. Best I have stayed at, I highly recommend!

Great little private campground! Fresh water hose, clean porta potties, close access to the areas’ gorgeous adventures! Angela checked in with us to make sure everything was perfect. Thanks for hosting our great family getaway! PS. There is a strict fire ban in place, for very good reasons! Keep this area green and thriving🌳🌲. PSS- We did hear some neighbor dogs and some roosters, there were some Yellowjacket’s around, but these are things you expect when camping in rural Oregon!

Angela’s place is a quiet little oasis in the woods. There are only 4 camping spots, and we had the privilege of having the whole place to ourselves. Angie is a great host, fun to talk with and it’s obvious that she takes pride in her work around the place - from the painted signs to the clean porta pots!
There is a central, communal area where (when allowed) a fire can be shared along with several lawn games.
It’s minutes away from McKenzie Bridge General Store which serves good coffee, pastries and full meals.
I’d love to return with friends to fill it up!

This is the second time I've stayed at The Farm at Castle Rock. It is a peaceful and beautiful place with abundant wildlife and with plentiful birdhouses and bird feeders. The grounds and facilities are clean and well-tended. Each of the three campsites are well-separated from each other for maximum privacy.

Where do I even begin about our experience!? I will start by saying we will never forget our stay at Angela’s site. We took our 2 young boys for their first real camping trip experience. It was totally last minute and I found through HipCamp, this beautiful site that seemed perfect for my family. And it turned out to be one of the best memories I have ever have with my little family. Angela made sure we were taken care of in every way. Not only did we walk away with the sweetest memories, we walked away with a new forever friend. It doesn’t take long as you walk around the site, to see how much love and care she puts into her property. The stay would not be complete without a touch of Angela and her humor, great conversation, accommodation and comfort. If you are looking for a safe place to travel with your spouse, family or even just alone, and looking for really good company (whether it’s Angela or the coolest people that this site attracts) this is the place to go to. We will be back for more memories as often as we can come. Thank you Angela, for everything!! Can’t wait to come back.

What a great place!! We really enjoyed the peace and quiet, privacy and close proximity to great hikes. It’s clear that Richard really cares about the land, and there were a lot of nice touches he added to the sites, like the platforms, chairs and private outhouses. Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of heaven, we hope to be back!

Best camping experience ever! We were spoiled with the serene, spacious beauty all around at Shelter at Castle Rock Farm. Our 2 dogs enjoyed the walks and visiting the fish pond on the property, too!
Richard’s craftsmanship and respect for nature are evident throughout the well designed and equipped campsites. He generously upgraded us to the “Big Maple” site with an already set up large tent nestled under a beautiful tree. We had the place all to ourselves for the one night stay and wished to have stayed longer. Such a peaceful place to relax and unwind.

The property is easy to access, well maintained and lots provided for campers. Host was friendly and made sure our needs were met. Also a great spot if you have dogs, off leash friendly and space for them to roam free. Definitely enjoyed our little getaway!

Loved the camp set up. It's in a thick wooden forest, with string lights that are timed to go off at quiet hours. Angela greeted us and was friendly and warm, Honeybucket Portopotties were super clean and even smelled like it wasn't used! One of our air mattresses popped and the wood chips we put our tent on was fine for my husband to sleep on. It was a 5 minute drive from the camp to the meeting place at Mckenzie Church for our Family White Water Rafting Trip! Great location for all the Mckenzie River Magic.

This was my second time camping with Angela! She’s always the best host. We were passing through and needed a site last minute. She got us set up on Wi-Fi, set up the propane fire pit, set up timers for the lights to stay on longer because we arrived so late. She even got us set up with the ingredients for s’mores!

I cannot say enough good things about my stay at Richard’s camp. From the moment I arrived, he was kind and helpful — the kind of host that makes you feel right at home and just a genuine person. His property is not only beautiful but also a true reflection of his deep knowledge, care, and craftsmanship. Every detail was so thoughtfully considered, making the entire setup feel seamless and easy — especially appreciated as a solo traveler and road trippin for multiple days before getting there. I felt completely safe and supported the entire time.
Richard’s generosity with information about the local area — from pamphlets to personal recommendations — made exploring the region super helpful from someone born and raised in the area .
This is one of those rare places where you can tell a lot of heart and intention went into creating the space. I’m already planning to come back soon, and I can’t wait to bring my loved ones along to experience it, too. Thank you, Richard and Daisy, for such a restorative and memorable stay!

My husband and I had a great couple nights camping on Angela's property. When booking our site, Angela was very responsive and helpful as we inquired about which site would accommodate our truck with a rooftop tent.
The property was clean, organized, and well thought out. A central fire pit, with yard games and smore supplies, was available to all campers. The portable toilets were clean and well maintained. Angela had water available for campers and a special hose for drinking water. She even had wi-fi available, which came in handy as we were planning our mountain biking routes.
Angela's property is just a short bike ride away from the shuttle service that we used to take us to the top of the McKenzie River Trail and a short bike ride away from the meet-up spot for our river rafting excursion.
The directions to Angela's property were clear and easy to follow.

Where to go
Along the Santiam River
Lyons offers easy access to outdoor recreation and camping along the Santiam River, which attracts anglers with its variety of salmon and trout species. Popular spots in the area include the North Santiam Recreation Area, Buell-Miller County Park, and the Santiam State Forest.
Detroit Lake and Around
The Santiam River spills out into the Detroit Reservoir, a massive lake that’s popular with water-sports enthusiasts and campers alike. The area around the reservoir is full of campsites and trails, most within the Mount Hood National Forest, and is home to the Breitenbush Hot Springs retreat center.
The Silverton Area
The area just north of Lyons, near the small city of Silverton, is full of places to explore, including the Oregon Gardens and Silver Falls State Park, known for its dense collection of waterfalls. The Bavarian-inspired town of Mount Angel is also nearby; come in mid-September to experience its annual Oktoberfest celebrations
When to go
Lyons is in the Willamette Valley, which has a relatively mild climate, with hot and somewhat dry summers and cool (but not cold temperatures) and plenty of rainfall the rest of the year. Summers here get busy, owing largely to the area’s close proximity to the densely populated Interstate-5 corridor, but things start to get quieter after Labor Day, when kids go back to school, particularly on weekdays.
