Tad and Alanna met me at my arrival for a quick get-to-know and what was needed.
Semi-private camp spot was close to chickens, but surprisingly they were not noisy (thankfully no rooster that I heard). Spot is off the main road so only road noise was passing neighbor cars. Crab apple trees were ripe for picking, blackberries already finished.
I spent my daytime hours away from camp spot and at the McMinnville Highland Games Festival where I was competing in heavy athletics. On my departure day, I received a thank you note expressing interest in the Highland Games after meeting me and stating that their family was their watching me, which added a nice personal touch to the visit.

There weren't many campgrounds around McMinnville so we were very happy to find this perfect place to park our camper van and have a campfire! The blackberries were delicious and Tad and Alanna shared some fresh fruit from their trees!

This was a beautiful, quiet, private spot and we loved our stay here! Jeff was exceptionally accommodating and the toilet was spotlessly clean. We could hear wildlife of all sorts at night and felt quite private and comfortable. The gas grill was an excellent amenity - we didn’t have to worry about bringing or cleaning up any of our usual cookware. All in all a fantastic experience!

I can easily say that this stunning site is now tied for 1st as my favorite camp of the summer (I've been to 22 camps this year). Jeff is the perfect host, accessable & attentive - without being disruptive.
I felt like I was low-key glamping. The portapotty was spotless & he has running water for a hand washing station right next to it. Jeff additionally has some tinder, a first aid kit, paper towels etc. There is also a gas grill, trash cans, a picknik table & fire pit.
The site is, and I cannot stress this enough, huge - and private. There is a lovely little creek that runs around 3/4ths of the camp complete with beavers! The breeze sifting thru the towering trees, birdsong by day, owls by night, it's a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. I was lucky to have it all to myself for several days but it is enough space that it could support a fairly large group camp. There is a lovely little blueberry farm directly across the street with a little farm stand It is also very close to Hillsboro proper for easy shopping.
The only other thing I want to mention is something that does not bother me or mydog at all because we're familiar with it - there is a trap & skeet shooting range within a few miles on the site so there are times you can hear the shots as they fire. If you have a human or pet that may be reactive to that sound it may not be the site for you.
I really enjoyed my time at this unexpected gem of a site.

We really enjoyed our stay! Very peaceful and an awesome flat yard for playing games with the kids. Loved having a fire in the evenings. Tracy was very accommodating.

Our stay at Tracy’s property on Puget Island in the middle of the Columbia river was divine. We were concluding our weeklong trek through the state and last night was rounded out our stays in wine country, high dessert and the coastal towns dotting the Western Coast. We parked our Sprinter next to the fire pit steps from the beach, watched the tugs, ferry and barges go by, uncorked a local Pinot and toasted to a memorable visit to Oregon. Thank you so much for having us!

This is a great little spot with a picnic table and fire-pit. You can nestle your camper next to the tree to create a screen between you and the house. The spot is level and easy to back into. Alanna was very attentive when we arrived to inform us of where to park. We were here 24 hours- wine tasted in the region- great access to town and wineries. Enjoy!

This is a beautiful spot on the. Columbia River. I stayed twice (at the start and end of a road trip) and both times were so relaxing. I parked my camper van near the water and spent quiet mornings sipping coffee watching the boats go by. I plan to come back so I can spend some time exploring the island and do a little kayaking.

I stayed at this Hipcamp twice in one week to break up a long drive to the Oregon coast, and it was the perfect stop both times. The site is right along the Columbia River — incredibly quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. Waking up in my van to the view of the water and sound of birds was just what I needed. The host’s house is on the property but set back enough that the site still feels private. I’d absolutely stay again.

I had a great stay! Tracy was friendly, accomodating, and responsed quickly to texts. It's a great location to view the birds and boat traffic, and easy launch point to visit nearby CoffeePot Island.

Had an amazing time on the river enjoy the ships going by and just being in nature. Extra treat was the deer in our camp every night getting a drink of water. Next time I am bringing my rods for some fishing!

Great spot on the Columbia River. Close to the ferry for easy access to Oregon. Tracy, the host, is very friendly and helpful.
