Abby’s spot was great we were tucked away between a few house which really helped since there was a wind storm the blew through. It felt private and we were in walking distance to town

This was a wonderful spot very close to hagg lake. Lots of areas for tents if you have a big group and it was great for just the 2 of us for a couple nights. The host was nice and provided water when we got there. I would come back for sure!

Weekend Trip to Slow Boat Farm - Island Camping

I had a wonderful relaxing weekend at Slow Boat Farm. Brad & Lisa were lovely hosts & very responsive. They greeted me when I arrived and guided me to the camp area (I arrived after dark) and stopped by to say goodbye and deliver some treats when I left. The property is beautiful and very peaceful. I was looking for a place to chill out, read a book and hang out with my dog - this was perfect.

Really wonderful spot with many places to pitch your tent if you wanted to come as a larger group. As a group of 2, it was nice to have such a large space to enjoy camping right off of Hagg lake. Scott was a wonderful host and super friendly! He provided water and a porta-potty and continued to check in on how things were. Would absolutely stay again!

We chose this site because of the proximity to Hagg Lake and Tree to Tree Adventure park, as a summer last hurrah for our kids. Scott and his dog Hilda were very friendly hosts, stopping in to check on us— Hilda is clearly a common camp visitor as she hung out at our camp for a few hours each day. It was thoughtfully laid out and had several spots for tents. Scott provided water and a clean portapotty. It was pretty dusty as we came at the tail end of a dry summer, so be sure to prepare for that. Overall it was a lovely experience and I’m thankful we had the opportunity to visit.

We loved tent camping on Scott’s property! This location is ideal for large groups. There are several large tent pads, parking for multiple vehicles, and it’s secluded area. We had 2 dogs with us who enjoyed meeting his small pup and spending time roaming the property. The lake has several access points within half a mile.

The site was perfect for being close to the main area in Long Beach and the beach, yet was also quiet. The spot was quite level and easy access to the available water and electricity. Nice grassy area to sit on a beautiful day or if needed a covered patio.

Abby’s place is in a great location. Close to everything. We walked to dinner and could have walked to many other things. The beach is just a short drive away. We were able to let the dog out on her cord and she had room to move around. There wasn’t anyone staying in the house while we were there which made it more comfortable for us. The full hookups are always appreciated! There is some road noise but it gets quiet at night. Thanks for sharing your space with us.

This place was absolutely wonderful. It is close enough to town to grab any forgotten items, but felt like being out in the woods. The land has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate larger groups but still offer privacy. Scott was incredibly thoughtful and kind. We brought some recreation gear to use at Hagg Lake, but this time, kicking back and enjoying the weekend at a relaxed pace won. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness and care put into this camp spot. Can't wait to return!

The spot was the perfect relaxing conclusion to our road trip up the Oregon coast! Brad, Lisa, and Holly were amazing hosts to us and our pup, and there was plenty of room to kick back and enjoy the sublime scenery of the island and beautiful sunsets. The heated outdoor shower was glorious, and the nearby ferry over the Columbia was convenient and fun for a day of exploring Astoria. Would definitely stay here again when passing through the area. Thanks so much!

This was such a great spot with very friendly hosts! The spot is wide, with views, and a cute outdoor toilet/shower. I spent a lot of time staring at the field & cows & it was lovely. They brought us squash, green beans & figs too!! As a campsite connoisseur, highly recommend.
