Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Old Elkhorn Golf Course

We had a great time! It was quite and we had the entire area to ourselves. Anthony was very pleasant and checked in on us when we arrived to see if we needed anything (supplies, firewood, etc.) and as left. A cool place!

2 nights at Santiam Serenity

We really enjoyed our stay! We didn’t use the cabin because we had our trailer but it looked very nice. We loved having a large field available to run our dogs. The portion of river that is part of the site had one section with a deep enough pool the dogs could swim in. Private, pretty scenery and very peaceful. We will definitely return! Excellent communication with the host via the app.

2 nights at GeerCrest Farm

What a delightful place! Peaceful, scenic and surrounded by personal family history dating back to 1850. Jim is a wonderful host. Thankfully his great great great grandfather established the farm ten minutes from the Oregon Garden, 30 minutes from Silver Falls and only 8 minutes from the Willamette Valley Pie Company!

1 night at Molalla Ripple

James is a great host. I felt very safe camping there. The property is behind a gate with an access code. So only other people camping there have access to your site. Sites 5, 6 and 8 were my favorites. Fire ring is great and the wood that is available for purchase is excellent.

1 night at Molalla Ripple

Beautiful riverside site on a bank about 10 higher than the waterline! Portapotti 10 yards away. Nice fire ring. Great host!

Weekend Trip to Old Elkhorn Golf Course

Our stay was far beyond expectations! From the very start, our host went above and beyond—reaching out early with both a phone call and a text that included detailed directions, then meeting us at the entrance to personally escort us to our site. On the second day, they checked in again just to make sure we had everything we needed. The campsites were spacious, the bathrooms immaculate, and the entire experience was peaceful and relaxing. Between the sounds of the river, the birds, the privacy, and the comfort, it was exactly what we were hoping for—and more. This is a five-star spot all the way, and we’ll absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rock Crick Acres

This is definitely a hidden gem! We loved our stay as it provided the quiet get -away we needed. The grounds are nicely kept and the view and sound of the creek is so relaxing. Scott was great to work with and quick to answer our questions. We are already planning our next trip. This was a wonderful place to stay.

Weekend Trip to Molalla Ripple

Absolutely beautiful camp site. It was quiet and restful. Host did a wonderful job providing firewood for us. Our dogs were happy! We didn’t have a path to the water but were listening to the river throughout our stay.

2 nights at Powder Creek Campground

Absolutely beautiful and serene!! We stayed at site 1, which I highly recommend, it’s just a few steps from the creek. Fell asleep to just the sound of the creek each night. The hosts were very welcoming and have done a wonderful job at making the camp area so special. We have camped in many places and this is our new favorite, such a neat place! We will definitely be back and can’t wait to try out the cabin they are building as well. Thank you so much for sharing your paradise with us and the great conversations.

1 night at Old Elkhorn Golf Course

We had a perfect overnight camp trip at the Elkhorn camp. Anthony is a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome. The fairways are good for tent camping and are very dog friendly. The river access was exactly what we hoped for. While at the river we saw a bald eagle and a hawk carrying a fish fly right over our heads within a span of 20 minutes. I cant say enough good things about this camp. We cant wait to come back!

1 night at Molalla Ripple

This is our second time staying here, and once again, it did not disappoint. You won’t find a better riverside campsite at this price anywhere in the region. We stayed right next to the beautiful, flowing Molalla River—our site came with power hookups and WiFi, which is a rare bonus for a site this close to nature. James, the owner, clearly takes pride in maintaining the campground. The porta-potties were clean and regularly serviced, and the entire area felt safe and well cared for. He’s even built a covered common area deck, which was a great spot to relax or socialize with other campers. Each site has its own fire pit and river access, making it a perfect place to unwind. And if you’re looking to treat yourself, James also offers heated soaking tubs for an additional fee—a perfect way to end the day. We’ll definitely be back again.

Weekend Trip to Molalla Ripple

We did not stay. We attempted to cancel via the app, but got a 500 error. Now I’m being forced to write a review.

Weekend Trip to Amico Roma Farm

We really enjoyed the art and found it pretty cozy. It was very private. We explored the grounds and went to the winery next-door. We definitely recommend.

2 nights at Buena Vista Lavender Farm

Connie and Nicholl were very receptive and it was an easy in to the camping spot. 30amp and water only. We were given full access to roam the property and it was so relaxing. Animals all around. Big goats, medium goats and baby goats, alpacas, sheep, a donkey and a tiny horse all guarded by 2 large dogs that were super friendly to us. The grounds are lush with a wedding venue, lavender field, pond and Christmas tree farms around it. Great spot to unwind and take day trips to Silver Falls.

1 night at Molalla Ripple

My best friend and I stayed here one night and wished we had more time, the property was so pretty and peaceful.

1 night at Molalla Ripple

I spent the night here as I was traveling up the coast. It was a great spot to stop for the night with everything I could possibly need. I wish I had the chance to spend some more time there.

1 night at Buena Vista Lavender Farm

This is a beautiful, park-like property, with lots of nice hang out spots including a little pond with bridge and dock. The hosts are friendly and helpful. There are 30 amp power and water hookups, and the site accommodated our 28 foot class C towing an 8 foot cargo trailer. WiFi is also available. The lavender was not yet in bloom when we were there but when it does come on, the gardens are going to be very beautiful.

1 night at The Falls at Elk Prairie

AMAZING! secluded, refreshing and close to nature. Short hike down hill across the creek and youre in a canopy of beautiful trees and wonderful waterfall. Perfect for short or long trips. Will be returning this summer, Clint is a great host and great conversationalist would reccomend chatting if you get the chance. Otherwise youre left in peace with no disturbance to enjoy nature on his beautiful land.

1 night at Molalla Ripple

Was truly a nice stay at this property very clean and private. Beautiful scenery and the host was very kind ! would definitely choose this spot again !

1 night at Molalla Ripple

Lovely & peaceful spot on the Molalla River. Clean & well cared for.

I sit for hours on end, watching the water flow by. Fishing, rafting/floating, and wading in the water are all fun things to do here. If you are looking for something just to get off the highway for the night, or for a longer stay, this is a great quiet place to be.

Zen Acres

9 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Estacada, OR

We purchased this slice of paradise in 2003 as a place to relax, recharge, and someday build our dream home. It started as nothing more than a gravel road leading to a small clearing with an old bus and a couple decks. Our children have grown up out here learning a deep respect for nature and the real (non digital) world. Now empty nesters, we live on site. Part of our retirement planning is to spend next several years developing the lower portion of the property (approx. 15 acres) into a campground and retreat for our guests, as well as our own family, friends, and grandchildren. The campground area (currently) consists of a handful of primitive campsites, and a group area. We are working steadily on improvements, including adding more sites, improving the roadways, and upgrading the common areas. In all we will likely have 12-15 total designated camping areas (including a group area or two, as well as a couple hike to secluded locations). For much more details regarding our philosophy, history, and future plans please visit our website at www.zen-acres.com. There is also a lot of additional information listed on the individual campsite descriptions.

No matter which camping site you choose, the sounds of the creek, pond frogs, or conversing owls are sure to lull you to sleep.

Rock Crick Acres

7 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Grand Ronde, OR

This hidden gem is only 1/3 of a mile off the highway yet all you can hear is the flow of the water from Rock Creek which flows along the 2 acres. There is plenty of spots to toss your tent. Personally, I prefer the bank overlooking the stream. Cool your feet on a hot summer day in Rock Creek (the main attraction). Enjoy the evenings around the fire pit for an extra $10/day which includes the firewood. There are complimentary tables, BBQ, chairs. Did you know the coolest porta-party in the galaxy awaits your visit? Yep, true. Attractions: Spirit Mountain Casino is only 4 miles away, The Oregon coast is a 25 minute drive as well as plenty of vineyards. Also enjoy 100+ miles of hiking trails. The trail head is only 1 mile from camp. I'm available to answer any questions you have and look forward to your visit. We ask if the ground is wet (rain for 24+ hrs) you keep your car on the gravel driveway and not drive in the grass (causing ruts). Don't be a turd. Respect the Hideout. If you plan on partying and/or staying up late around the campfire, don't book this. I have neighbors and respect them. Go do your party booking elsewhere, please. Lastly, if you are bringing dogs, you'll most likely get a bit of barking from the dogs to the east for the 1st hour. I just want to be honest and warn you.
