Weekend Trip to Kilchis River Retreat

What a beautiful location and great cabin! Gorgeous views and scenery and one of the best campgrounds we have visited on Hipcamp. Sarah and Michael were amazing and made our stay extra fun and memorable. They have 3 beautiful cats that hung out with us as well! I would recommend highly and it is a 10/10 stay for me. Sincerely Jamie

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

We loved our stay in the yurt! Every was considered when Karin put it together: like one of the best stocked vacation kitchens I've used😌 Just lovely! Couldn't recommend more! Molly the camp host dog was also so sweet.

Weekend Trip to Cedar to Surf Campground

Luckily we were there off season and had a spot on an entire row. Only 5 other campers at the end. If it was full, you'd be right on top of each other. Very close to Cape Disappointment State Park and Long Beach. Appreciated the showers and bathroom close by. Cute pathway to the beach right from camp. Our host, Al (not the owner) was very personable and helpful in recommending Castaway's for fish 'n chips. Nothing "fancy" about this place but a nice choice for being right by the beach.

Super cute cabin right by the river. Hosts were amazing!! Friendly helpful and so great to talk to! Plus the informal cat hosts were adorable! Close to town but still a good forest camping vibe. I will definitely be going back!! <3 :-)

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

Yurt was great, warm and comfortable. This is our 5th trip to the property and as always we enjoyed everything about this peacful retreat. From Karin and her husband to their sweet dog Molly. Enjoyed all of the birds including Osprey nesting right in front of the yurt. Simply watching the river go by and reading to the sounds of nature.

4 nights at Forest cottage near ocean

Our family really enjoyed our stay-perks included the feeling of being tucked away in the woods, the hot tub under the stars, and being close enough to the ocean to hear it, even when we weren’t on the beach. Thank you, Kylee!

3 nights at Batwater Station on Columbia River

The was a great place to come even for a rainy March getaway. It would be fantastic in nicer weather when one could have fun playing on or in the river. We saw all kinds of critters, including many, many birds. The host was super, very helpful and kind. The common area was well stocked with the things we forgot to bring. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

Another spontaneous trip to be next to a body of water, this time is the Columbia river. Just wow! Such an amazing property Karin has, she is very responsive, friendly and overall a star host. Thanks so much for letting us immerse in nature in your beautifully maintained paradise. We’ve had a lot of animal sounds, from different birds singing, frogs chatting to howling coyotes or (maybe wolves) we dont know. We loved the outhouse with complete kitchen facilities, toilet and bathroom, that is heated! Campsites and other forms of accommodation (yurt, cabin & boathouse) were distant from each other and we felt our spot was private even though it’s in the roadway. We really loved our stay here, with the amazing sounds of nature, serenity and the views were truly outstanding! We’d love to come back.

Weekend Trip to Sunny 🌞 Seaside 🌊 RV Space

Great urban space in Seaside with very welcoming and generous hosts! They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Clean spot, hookups in great condition. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to it!

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

A truly special way to experience life along the river, the Houseboat is beautifully designed, artfully decorated and thoughtfully equipped throughout. We loved getting to watch the wildlife all around us while also enjoying the luxuries of a big comfy bed, fast WIFI and space for remote work, and everything you could need to cook a great meal and feel at home. Very cool hosts and history about the area! Karin and Michael are lovely folks -- proactive, kind, responsive and helped us with any issues that popped up. Highly recommend!

1 night at Batwater Station on Columbia River

We loved camping at Bat water station. They had a nice trail to walk and our camp site was right next to the river. The bathroom was very warm and clean. The kitchen was also well stocked and heated so we cooked our breakfast in the kitchen. It was very mice gor them to offer us free eggs. The owner was very kind and generous. It was freezing cold and they offered us to watch TV in the heated yurt. It was obvious that the owner cared about our safety and comfort more than anything. The owners’ thoughtful hospitality made me want to come back. Thank you Karin! We appreciate your kindness and generosity. We will be back !

2 nights at Batwater Station on Columbia River

We stayed 2 nights at Batwater, Karin's beautiful piece of paradise. My 2 dogs and myself stayed in the cabin. What an absolutely magical place. The cabin itself is warm, inviting, and stocked with everything you could need. Karin's attention to detail is noticeable in the many comfort items provided. The linens were beautiful and cozy. The best was laying snuggled in bed looking out the slider door window at the river. Bird and nature sounds and sights to delight you. We walked the numerous trails along the river and meadows overlooking the wetland area. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was very private and quiet, we absolutely loved our time there. I already have booked again, and am sure I will be a regular visitor. This property, and it's owners are a true treasure!

Absolutely perfect. Gorgeous setting - I got to see otters, seals, owls, herons, cranes, listen to birdsongs, all from a comfy spot that has everything you need. The hosts have thought of everything - even binoculars for wildlife spotting. The hosts are absolutely lovely and I can't wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

Hidden gem on a lesser known part of the Columbia River. Karin and Mike have built a beautiful and peaceful space right on the river. Great blue herons, egrets and harbor seals are just a few of nature’s gifts you’ll enjoy here. The full kitchen was a luxury during our winter stay. Farm fresh eggs were available. Toilet and a hot shower were sweet additions too! I can imagine summer family excursions here being unforgettable with all the available water toys, grills and places to wander. Check out their luxury-meets-rustic yurt-cabin, floating home and tiny cabin too! We’ll be back and we’ll be inviting friends!!

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

Beautiful secluded piece of heaven. We stayed in the cabin down the road last time and it was wonderful and we had told ourselves. We were coming back to stay on the house boat and it was wonderful. Place is just beautiful. You get to feel the water feel you know, or you're it's serene and you get to see all kinds of nice wildlife some cute raccoons that she feeds.So you can like, stay inside and watch your feet them.It's very sweet. Everything you need is there and karen is a great host.She's probably the best that we've countered,thus far. I recommend anyone who does hip camp. Try this out. It's beautiful. It's wonderful. It's so cute, greatly priced. We definitely look forward to going there again and trying out the yurt that they built.

Weekend Trip to Forest cottage near ocean

Family of 3 had a short weekend stay and we enjoyed the home. The bunk beds are in the master bedroom which disappointed my kid since they are pictured in a different room, but she was happy in the double bed. She *loved* having a tv in her room and it was a special treat. I enjoyed the kitchen size and the cute decorations. Its about 8 blocks to the beach.

Cedar to Surf Campground

15 sites · RVs3 acres · Ocean Park, WA

This campground was developed in the 1950s by a husband and wife team and later passed to their children. My partner and I were lucky enough to purchase it in Oct 2020 and our goal is to bring it to its original beauty and charm with the most up to date amenities. Long Beach Peninsula has been a family vacation destination for a long time and there's so much fun to be had on every inch of land! Located centrally between Leadbetter Point and Cape Disappointment, we have 16 full hookup RV sites (30 amp power/water/septic/Wifi) close enough to enjoy the fun of Long Beach and Ocean Park, but far enough to retreat to your camp for quiet and relaxation. Hang out in the rec room or at a fire pit, play horseshoes or bocce ball with family, or take a short walk down our dune path to watch the sun set on the ocean.
