One of the oldest original homesteads in the area, for nearly 150 years this gem has been in the family. We have shared it with many people over the years and would love to share it with you!
These beloved woods are the remaining part of the once vast, St. Martin homestead-started in the late 1800s. Our family ties and our roots grow very deeply in these woods-we've been born and raised here and continue to strive to be good stewards of these lands.
Pristine woods, trails, river access, and more! Located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, 60 minutes east of Portland, 25 minutes west of Hood River.
A truly tranquil place to enjoy exclusively, or to use as a basecamp for the unlimited adventures possible in this scenic area. Welcome and enjoy!

The sites are all very unique. We loved out stay. Lots of salmon making a run up river right now. It was very cool to watch the salmon and also a big group of kayakers going by. Sites were clean. Wish we would have added the sauna add on. They looked really neat.

This is such a lovely spot at the confluence of the Wind River & the Little Wind River. Lots of space for all of our tents and vehicles. Also, the perfect spot for full moon camping and late night skyviews. The soaking & swimming are just dreamy. The composting toilet was really clean. Thank you for sharing this treasure.

I loved the land, we stayed in eagle nest and it was very cozy and secluded. Just perfect. The only thing that was annoying is when I asked a question that didn’t get answered. We figured it out but it would have been nice to have peace of mind. The water was amazing, the toilets were clean and very nice ! The access to get in was easy and made you feel very secure. This land is very much loved.

Nice spot. We used it as a home base for rafting day trips on the Deschutes. About 20 minutes from Sandy Beach. Felt very private and a short walk across the road to hang by White River. Freshly cleaned porto potty. We would stay again.
Host warned us about yellow jackets and they were bad. Brought a trap to add to about 6 others already hanging and had to eat in screened in tent. Pretty typical in field like that in late summer in the area though.

Perfect Camping Experience for three generations of family!! The clear driving directions dropped us into a hidden green paradise with fruit trees and a scenic pond. Welcomed by a large family of deer! Plenty of flat, green grass areas for tents, trailers, and lots of lawn games and the dogs had a fabulous time running free! The concrete pad of what used to be a home was the perfect gathering area for cooking, eating, and "fire" circles! Yellow jackets were pretty crazy during the day but disappeared at dusk, no fault of the land owners as it is just that time of year. Great separation from other sites with complete privacy, no view of other campers and great barriers for sound. Spectacular view all around left you feeling like you were the only people for miles. We had a neighborly visits from lizards, wild turkeys, squirrels, and a family of raccoons! They were all very well behaved but I would suggest storing food in a plastic bin as potato chips seem to be a favorite of theirs. Beautiful site for all ages and we will definitely be back again!

Having a space to ourselves was just perfect for camping. The site was quiet and secluded, the creek along the back was beautiful. It was wonderful to find a spot to get back to nature, to not have to worry about others being around. The dogs had plenty of space to run around and have fun. It was perfect in every way and would certainly go there again.

Great camping with the family. Enough space for 2 tents. The walk in is definitely more than 50 feet and inclined. I will pack a load in/out cart next time if traveling with coolers and folding tables and such.
A truly beautiful spot and so special to sleep next to the Little Wind. Will be back!

This site rates high on our favorites list. This site has unrivaled privacy, access to wildlife, and peaceful views. We parked our Airstream Basecamp 20X REI edition in this large meadow, bordered by stream-fed ponds, oak/ponderosa slopes, and rocky bluff vistas. We were privileged to witness wildlife including Western Gray Squirrels, Black & White tailed deer, garter snakes, frogs, toads (emitting a low, honking sound), Western Fence Lizards, Scrub Bluejays, robins, wild turkeys, and the star of the show- Peregrine Falcons. We had one Peregrine fly up to take a hunting lookout on our Dragonfly tarp, attacking three different prey targets from that perch. So cool! There’s ample opportunity to stroll around the meadow and up the gravel road to get some steps in. The melodic sound of the stream spilling into the pond is soothing. We will be back to visit this magical place.

What a great spot! We had a good size group with four tents and there was plenty of open space and shade trees for all us. The river is just a quick walk across the road and it was the perfect way to cool down as the days were pretty hot. Amanda was very communicative and responsive. Highly recommended!
