Great site! Effortless check-in/check-out. Morning view of the canyon was priceless! Many farm animals on the property along with some guard dogs. Very close to Smith Rock!
Bring ear plugs if you don't want to hear the dogs barking through the night. Other than that, great stay!

My family and I loved camping at Cindi’s campsite. She was very helpful with the directions and was flexible with our schedules. There was lots of room for our tents and vehicles. We were able to fish with the river right next to us. Definitely a great spot to get camp.

Group trip
I had a big group and we all had enough space to set up our own hammocks/tents. It was very spacious and had a spot for us to hang out on the water and swim, we even caught some big rainbow trout! This spot is a 10/10 and I will definitely plan on staying here again. The camp host was accommodating and gave us our privacy.

Beautiful private river to swim in with gorgeous mountain (?) backdrop. If you’re an animal lover then you will especially love this site. Tons of friendly and beautiful animals to visit! If you’re a carnivore then you must check out the dream fridge of ranch meats. John and Hoss were so friendly and generous — if I am ever in the area again then I would love to come back. 10/10

This place was beautiful! From the moment we arrived, it felt calm, peaceful, and like the perfect little escape. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He gave us free firewood, showed us around the ranch, and even let us meet and pet all the animals (which was awesome!). Being surrounded by that beautiful scenery was so refreshing, and getting here was super easy. We’re already talking about our next trip back. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Enjoyed the stay for 2 nights, definitely felt safe by the river and left for Bend for the day for some paddling and came back feeling okay about leaving our tent. The river was a bit low because it's summer but that's fine we weren't planning on paddling in there to begin with. Everyone we met at the farm/camp was friendly, there were a lot of animals around from the farm, also at night just a lot of wild animals/bird sounds and a big storm passing overhead. I'd recommend for anyone planning on seeing Smith rock or just wanting to camp somewhere wild that's not a forest for a night. There was a guy fishing down there in a parallel site. This is not like camping in the forest where you have silence and trees, this is camping out in a very wild field with a river and at night occasional headlights of cars passing by but that part's not so bad. All of the camp sites appear to be right next to each other and there's a single portapotty. The host was nice, he came down and said hi and chatted a few times. I appreciated the stay overall but maybe not the place to get away to "fix your marriage" or something. :]

We loved Cindi’s space! She greeted us and showed us around and her communication was great! Perfect for our group with tents and a tear drop trailer. Having firewood onsite with two nice fire pits was awesome! Highly recommended! It was a peaceful riverside space and pitching tents on the sandy beach was perfect.

Ill start with. AMAZING!! We were in the private area. They helped us find where to go on 4 wheeler (but there is a sign too) and led us to a little oasis. The alpacas were so cute but they said no thanks when I went for a pet. Shade cloth, picnic table and right on the crooked river. We came with a big truck and 28' long camper trailer. We were initially nervous pulling in because it was narrow but it was totally fine going nice and slow. Wide enough turns for no anxiety. It was beautiful. Highly recommend.

Loved camping on John & Sarah’s land. The directions and signs were clear and easy to find, and the spots were clearly marked as well. The shade was nice, the garbage cans were securely fastened, and the facilities were clean. The view wasn’t so bad either! 🤩🩷

We had a wonderful stay at John and Sarah’s Hipcamp. We were actually the first Hipcampers to this site and actually our first Hipcamp as well. The site had everything we needed since we planned for camping. Outhouse, picnic table, nice cover for sun shade. The views were stunning-right along the crooked river with views of a mesa ahead.
They have a beautiful farm property too with lots of farm animals. The hosts went above and beyond with their kindness-they welcomed us when we first arrived, provided firewood and a fire pit, dropped off a popup camper in case we wanted to use that instead of the tent. They even let us borrow their paddleboard and invited us for taco dinner the last night we were there and showed us the farm animals. John and Sarah told us their exciting plans they have for the land and will be looking forward to another visit some day again when I’m back in the area. I can’t say enough good things about how great the visit was. Thanks John and Sarah!!
