Ovis Aries Farm

Nestled in beautiful Mossyrock, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains just off White Pass Scenic Byway in western Washington state, Ovis Aries Farm is less than a mile away from one of the best fishing holes in the state (Swofford Pond), and from Riffe Lake’s heavily-booked Mossyrock Campground. Our 20-acre property features densely-forested mountainside trails, a seasonal creek and pond, with a variety of hardwood and evergreen trees. Surrounded on three sides by Christmas tree farms, our farm is the last bit of wilderness left in the area. Only an hour from Mt. Ranier’s legendary winter sports, with hiking, fishing and festivals all both here and nearby, our farm provides a perfect Base Camp for your any-season getaway!

We have two camping sites available, each with room for two groups. The BARN site has power and water and gravel parking, and are located by the big brown barn at the end of Naylor Road (at the "End of County Road" sign). The FIELD site is a one-acre open field with a gated entrance shortly after you turn onto Naylor Road (left side, before log cabin). Note that neither site is perfectly level, but is within the typical leveling ability of RVs at the size limits stated. The farm is located on a steep hillside; there is only so much we can do. But the stunning views more than make up for any inconvenience, in our experience.

Ovis Aries is the scientific name for “domestic sheep”, and indeed, we raise Romney sheep of all colors on our farm! You may also meet our sweet and friendly Morgan Horse mare, Naya, who likes to follow visitors around like a very large dog. We also have a small orchard with apples, persimmons, cherries, blueberries, and a pear, peach and almond tree beside the barn. We farm using organic, no-till, permaculture, silvopasture and forest grazing practices, and the sheep are entirely grass-fed, producing meat of the healthiest-possible quality. 

If fiber arts is your jam, we have a beautiful wool workshop, with a 40" 4-shaft, 6-harness Louet Hollandia floor loom, a 32" Harp rigid heddle loom, 5 spinning wheels, a drum carder, and numerous other fiber tools for scouring, prepping, spinning, dyeing, weaving, felting and knitting wool. One on one and small group classes are available with reservations. We also have an Ender 3 Pro+ 3D printer available, and a business center, including fast StarLink Wi-Fi and all streaming services. Farm Tours are given on request.

The Arboretum at Bear Canyon West

This is a gorgeous park-like campground situated between the trees of the arboretum. Beautiful view of the mountains and forests here in western Washington. We are close to Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier and several lakes.

There are walking trails all around the site. The 12 acre campground is located on a 136 acre property that is an active Christmas tree farm. Trails continue throughout the tree farm.

Many trails have a view of the Tilton River, which can be reached via a challenging 3/4 mile trail. Sites are on 10 acres planted with many different species of trees that are about 25 years old. Giant Redwoods, Cedars, and

Maples are just a few of the varieties present. Part of the farm is still a working Christmas tree farm.

The trails are wide and grassy. There is an old logging road that we use as a trail to the river. With an elevation change of about 500 feet, the trail can be quite challenging. Bear Creek empties into the Tilton river at the end of the trail. 

There is an ART GALLERY where you can learn to pound flowers, see the host's artwork and get a cup of coffee! This is upstairs above the shop,
right on the property. Tilton River Studio Gallery. Member of ARTrails of Southwest Washington.

Every site has a water spigot (use a pressure regulator if you want to hook up). No restrooms or sewer hookups. Garbage disposal site available Memorial Day to Labor Day.

We look forward to hosting you!

Slow Boat Farm - Island Camping

Slow Boat Farm started as a 10-cow dairy in the 1930s. The modified farmhouse still stands and the base of the silo is now a fire ring. The Lower Columbia Kayak Roundup (LoCo) was hosted from 2007 through 2011. There have only been four owners of the property.

Learn more about this land:

Wide open spaces, kayak launch, and small-scale farming form a unique culture at Slow Boat Farm. Camp on Puget Island, in a peaceful, pastoral setting with views of the hills and cliffs on both sides of the river. Fire ring is available year round regardless of fire bans.  A large grassy field offers ample space, and a private kayak launch is a short walk through a cottonwood forest.

You will enjoy a private camp spot with shade or open space, where we can accommodate multiple vehicles. 

Slow Boat Farm is a large meadow, five acres of grass and wide open spaces to view the gorge cliffs.  Camping is available May through September 30.

R&R Retreat.  Digital Detox.

This 40 Acre parcel has been in my family since the 1870's when my Great^4 grandparents homesteaded it.   For the first 50 years or so, It was used as a hay field and cattle pasture, but it has been managed as a tree farm ever since and we are still doing periodic selective harvests.    It was handed down through the paternal family to my Great Uncle, who passed away in 2013 and deeded it to my 2nd cousin in the will.  My Dad and I bought it from my cousin, who lives in Arizona, together.  Then my Wife and I bought my Dad out with our share of  the profits from our first commercial thinning.Although I plan to do some minor harvesting in the future, I no longer intend to do any clearcutting.  Selective harvests only.  I hope that campers will make ample use of windfalls and other debris to keep the fire risk low.  I also use the property as a release site for wildlife caught as part of my urban nuisance wildlife business.
