Great little private spot! Stayed a couple of nights, had everything one would need. There is a composting toilet and portable water we didn’t use since we were in our RV. We were able to pick where we wanted to hike with lots of options out there.

1 night at Red Cloud Ranch

My wife and I only stayed one night in the “glamping pod with gorgeous views at Red Cloud Ranch” and the description and pictures are exactly as described on their Hipcamp listing. It was very cozy with a small heater and all the bedding you need. Shannon provided great directions and met us when we arrived, she was super nice and helpful. The drive to the property is pretty magical on a clear day with easterly views of Mt. Hood and cute black cows dotting the sides of their road. It wasn’t a problem for us but worth noting that there is 3-4 mile gravel and dirt road leading up to the property. Also, at the time of this review, there was no shower which we were aware of. If we were staying more than one night glamping, a shower would be a great addition. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay would definitely come back if we were in the area again!

駐車場からキャンプサイトまで行く最初の坂がちょっと急ですが、すぐ横に綺麗な川が流れていたので行く価値がありました。 Camp B に泊まりましたが、六人がけのテーブルが２つ、ファイヤーピットが一つあり、2組の家族でも十分な広さでした。チェックイン時、チェックアウト時は特にオーナーと会うことはなかったですが、メッセージですぐに反応があったので安心しました。

Weekend Trip to Eight Four Eight Camp

Beautiful property with a nice mix of woods and clearings. Very quiet (you can hear road traffic occasionally, but it wasn't a big deal). There was one other camper on the property and I only saw them as they were leaving. There are lots of primitive trails to explore and looks like there's a frisbee golf course in the works. The private porta-potty was clean and it was nice to have a well-water spigot nearby. The only minor quibble was there seemed to be some trash in the camp sites. I picked up around my site and added a few other bits from the neighboring site. Wasn't terrible, but it was noticeable. Remember to pick up after yourselves. The burn ban was still in effect, so unfortunately no fires on this trip. Maybe next time. I'll plan on coming back later in the fall or early Spring. Overall, it was a great weekend, and I do recommend it!

This is a great spot to camp at. We brought our little trailer and pulled up right to the platform area that was generous and size with a nice picnic table.. we had plenty of room in our campsite and the stargazing was amazing. It’s only 15 minutes outside of white salmon, making it a perfect home-base for activities that we wanted to do in the area. The host was super communicative and easy to deal with..

Weekend Trip to Hoodland Basecamp at Scrumpy Farest

We tent camped on one of the RV sites (Potbelly 2) so we could drive up, and we had a fantastic time. Our 3-yr old twins LOVED getting to meet and feed the farm animals, and the people who live on site were very friendly and welcoming. The outdoor bathroom was the cleanest I’ve ever experienced and only a few minutes walk from our site. The showers were a nice feature as well!

Weekend Trip to Mt. Hood Enchanted Forest

Great spot by the river! Be prepared to trek down a hill with your stuff and then get to relax next to the sound of the bubbling Sandy River. Glad they had carts but definitely not the spot for anyone with bad knees or unable to wrangle a cart down a decent slope. The sites are clean and spacious with wonderful tent spots. I recommend renting the propane fire pit, propane stove, and kitchen bin to enjoy warmth and cooking with ease. The sounds of the river blend with the traffic so that you feel you’ve escaped but know you’re not too far from civilization. Great hiking nearby as well as the quaint city of Sandy which is filled with cute shops and delicious sounding restaurants.

We really enjoyed this site! It was so very quiet and secluded. There are trails to explore. The town is close by for quick shopping. And best of all, no cell service until you’re a few miles off the property. Not a fan of Porta Potties, but I can assure you this was by far the cleanest one I’ve used in a very long time. We were with my small breed puppy who loved the adventure. It’s very animal friendly there. There’s plenty of room to explore.
