We had the best time in the forager site!
The room was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. We had a big storm come through the night of our stay and the hosts were super hospitable and brought us a backup power bank. The heater blankets on the bed were a great touch too!
We will certainly be back!

Weekend Trip to River View Dome - Goode Time Ranch
Kelly and Randy were so attentive and sweet!! We had such an incredible weekend and I’m so thankful they shared their space and sweet animals with us. Don’t skip out on the fresh farm egg breakfast and playing fetch with Boone. Our favorite goats were Milo and chance, special mention to lavender the chicken. This weekend was such a special memory for us and I’m thankful we spent my partners birthday here. We will be back for sure :)

Weekend Trip to Riverfront Glamping & Camping
We had the whole area to ourselves, and it was the perfect weekend to get away and decompress. This site provided everything and more, from the creature comforts of the dome, to the beautiful river and the night skies. I’m feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Weekend Trip to Riverfront Glamping & Camping
This place was the perfect getaway—quiet, peaceful, and right by the river. We stayed in the geodome and loved the cozy wood-burning fireplace. The river was just a short walk away, making it easy to relax by the water. On clear nights, the star views were incredible—some of the best we’ve seen. We also appreciated having different cooking options, whether over the campfire or using the propane stove. The off-grid toilet was simple and convenient to use, and the privacy of the space allowed our dog to roam off leash, which made the trip even better. A wonderful spot for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy nature in comfort!

Weekend Trip to River View Dome - Goode Time Ranch
Kelly's Geo-dome was exactly as advertised. There were heaters inside, which we used this morning. My friend Darcy characterized it as, "better than glamping."
The power shut off last night after we were already in for the night so it didn't impact us. This morning, we easily got the power back on.
There were very friendly dogs and also goats with whom we didn't interact. We will definitely be back next!

We simply loved our stay at Kelly's place! Everything was incredible, from the fully-equipped dome with comfortable furniture and all the amenities, cutlery and accessories one could wish for (it even had Sonos bluetooth speaker) to the care and attention to details of the host who was so kind to bring us daily fresh farm egg breakfast, and to the extensive activities opportunities nearby - disk golf, axe throwing, soccer and more!
But above all, you the views were simply astounding, with picturesque sights of the river and the plains and unbeatable sunsets

3 nights at Riverfront Glamping & Camping
My wife and I had a fantastic time camping in the Ohm Dome! We stayed mid-week in late August, and practically had the entire area to ourselves. The site, and property, are filled with gorgeous oak trees, a fun garden, and the soothing sound of the river. Our dog, Newman, enjoyed exploring the area and playing fetch. We were provided a nice battery which powered our plug-in air mattress as well as powering lights and devices. We also had access to a near-private river beach (after a decent walk). Definitely want to stay here again!

3 nights at River View Dome - Goode Time Ranch
We had a great time camping in the dome. It’s set up really well with solar power. The views were great and we had a good time playing with Boone and feeding the chickens and goats. Very easy to get to from Portland/Vancouver.

Weekend Trip to River View Dome - Goode Time Ranch
My husband and I stayed 2 nights for our 15th wedding anniversary and it couldn't have been more perfect! The dome itself was amazing and had everything you could need. A lot of thought and effort went into it! But the cherry on top for us was the animals! Boone was there to greet us with his ball and kept watch over us our whole stay. The views are amazing day and night! We loved feeding/petting the chickens and goats too! Even had a deer hang out with us all day at camp! Just an amazing, perfect experience all around! Thank you so much and I'm sure we'll be back!

Weekend Trip to Riverfront Glamping & Camping
My family and I really enjoyed our time in the ohm dome. Such a lovely spot and an easy walk to a perfect small sandy beach. The composting toilets were in good shape and we appreciated the water for dishwashing. My nephew had fun building fires and testing out the acoustics! No joke about needing AWD getting in, but that was part of the adventure.

Kelly’s place was the perfect escape for a 2-night getaway! It was our first time camping with our two kids, and this spot was the ideal introduction — a comfortable mix between a tent and a cozy tiny home. The Dome had everything we needed for a short stay, and the views were absolutely stunning.
Kelly was incredibly kind and responsive, always making sure we had what we needed. Our kids especially loved playing with Boone (the friendly host dog), feeding the goats, and the chickens — such a fun experience for them!
Even though the host’s home is visible, the site still felt private and welcoming. We also recommend checking out the Port of Kalama and Horseshoe Lake while you’re in the area.
Would absolutely stay again!

We loved our stay in the dome on Goode Time Ranch — it’s such a unique and special place. Kelly was an incredibly kind and thoughtful host who went out of her way to connect with us and our 6-year-old daughter. She even taught her how to gently pick up and hold chickens, which quickly became the highlight of the trip!
The dome itself is beautiful and super comfortable. Our family of 3 got an amazing night's sleep. In the morning, Kelly made us a delicious fresh egg breakfast that was such a lovely touch. We also enjoyed exploring the forest walk and playing endless rounds of fetch with their sweet dog Boone.
We were honestly sad we had only booked one night and can’t wait to come back for a longer stay. This place truly feels like a little slice of heaven. As our daughter was falling asleep, she said, “This was a really good day.” We couldn’t agree more. ❤️

1 night at River View Dome - Goode Time Ranch
Kelly is very welcoming and created a beautiful and sublime atmosphere for guests to both have time and space to themselves as well as feeling welcome to explore, to chat with her, to visit with her goats and chickens or play a game of disc golf or axe throwing. The Dome was decorated in a simple yet elegant way that felt inviting while also providing a step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Perfect for a quiet getaway.

Group trip
My family and I loved this experience. The dome was spacious and clean, there was even a battery pack to run the lights and charge devices. They provided a propane burner and a propane grill, with a full propane tank. The toilets are compostable with wood chips and were clean, with non potable water right next to it for hand washing. There was a short, 5 minute walk, to the river. We had an awesome fire in the fire pit, and they generously provided some wood to get us started. This property is stunning, and there are tons of birds, wildlife, and flowers. My dog was able to be off leash and she had a total blast. We’re already planning our next trip back!
I don’t recommend sleeping on the loft bed. It felt a little unsafe for two adults. They did provide mattress pads, which were perfectly fine. Please remember to bring all the drinking water, trash bags, pillows, blankets, and toilet paper. There are no trash cans, pack it in, pack it out.

Where to go
Seaquest State Park
Just outside of Castle Rock, Seaquest State Park is a popular spot for summertime swimming, fishing, camping, and hiking, with seven miles of hiking trails, including a mile of ADA-accessible trails. It's a fantastic place for RV camping and tent camping alike, with a dump station, fire rings, and picnic tables.
Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument
If you're visiting Castle Rock, the chances are good that you also plan to spend a bit of time at Mount St. Helens nearby. There's a lot to do on the mountain, from learning about its famous 1980 eruption at the visitor center at Silver Lake to exploring the Ape Cave, a lava cave extending around 2.5 miles.
Gifford Pinchot National Forest
One of the oldest designated national forests in the United States, Gifford Pinchot National Forest offers no shortage of things to do and spots to camp. The forest stretches out over 1.32 million acres and has roughly 100 lakes and over 1,200 miles of trails and a mix of both campgrounds and backcountry camping opportunities.
When to go
Summer is the best time to visit Castle Rock. This season is usually hot and dry, and temperatures stay toasty well into September, making it an ideal month for camping without the summer vacation crowds. If you plan to climb Mount St. Helens, you're best off visiting in the summer or in late spring or early fall, when the conditions are ideal. Just be aware that you'll need a permit if you're visiting between April and October.
