Such an amazing experience! My son loved that we were able to help feed the animals, pick apples and pears, and play with the camp "hostess" :) he's already asking when we can go back! Even without that, the location is great for visiting Silverton, or Silver Falls. Nice, quiet and a beautiful sunset!

This was my first Hipcamp experience, and I couldn’t have been more pleased . Hosts Connie, Aaron and Nicole at Buena Vista Lavender Farm were so lovely and welcoming . I loved all of the very friendly animals , and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this beautiful place . I parked my small RV within sight of the little barn and walked over several times a day to say hello to the horse, donkey, cow, goats, alpacas Tito and Lulu and the extremely cool farm dogs Smokey and Bandit . I had my 3 dogs and we all just loved this place . We will definitely be back !!

When we arrived Rachel greeted us and allowed us to park nestled in some trees on her property. She offered up some local restaurants and asked if we needed any other recommendations for the area. We visited Silver Falls during our stay. We car camped and it was nice having a flush toilet and shower to use especially after the long hike. We enjoyed seeing the cows and goats in the pasture. The views were beautiful.

This was a gem of a campground for our family. My 5 & 7 year olds said it was the best place they’ve ever camped. They were able to wander around, explore the barn, swing on the swing set, check out the chickens, and their favorite - hang with the cat! Stephany and Mike have this place dialed, they had everything we could have ever needed. Including an ice maker! Highly recommend this spot.

We truly loved staying here and the hosts were amazing. They let my kids collect eggs from the chicken coop and pick vegetables from the garden. We cooked their fresh zucchini and squash and it was delicious. The scenery was incredible and we enjoyed mornings watching the cows graze in a nearby pasture. If we ever pass through, I would book here again and again.

This place is a hidden gem, for sure. A picturesque pastoral landscape view awaits you. We loved letting the dogs play freely in the open field, making friends with the cows on the other side of the fence. Had a cool common area. 50 amp and water were nice bonuses. Rachel greeted us when we got in and was super friendly and helpful, but left us alone to enjoy their property ourselves.
