Stories from the community

Fire pit with benches . We also added a log surround to the fire pit area.

2 nights at Relax Pine Hollow

We had a great stay. John was a very attentive host and made sure we had everything we needed, including providing ice for our cooler. Shower and propane fireplace were a nice bonus.

Weekend Trip to Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

Quick and spacious space. Great location to visit the surrounding towns and visit the Bonneville Dam!

Weekend Trip to Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

Great value location in the gorge! Very clean bathrooms too. Certainly some loud freight trains coming through each night as described.

Weekend Trip to Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

We had a great time at the Dog and wind Mountain Rv park. The host was very polite and attentive. Very quiete and clean place.

Weekend Trip to Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

This tent camp spot was perfect for the weekend! The park was small and quiet which we really enjoyed and the bathrooms were really nice and well kept. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There is a few close spots to swim and take out kayaks on the lake, there is also multiple stores in the little town that is just down the road. The train didn’t really bother us, it really only went by once at night and a couple other times during the day but definitely not as bad as we thought it was going to be. Overall it was a great stay and we would definitely recommend and stay again!

Weekend Trip to Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

Amenities are awesome and super clean. We'll kept grounds and beautiful view of the mountains/hills. The only down side to this spot on their grounds is that it's right off the main road. Pretty noisy but that's was pretty much expected. Recommend this rv park in general though

Weekend Trip to Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

This is a very nice little park right on the banks of the beautiful Columbia River. I met the owners Astrid and Rolf and talked to them for quite a while. They were extremely friendly and helpful and excited to tell me all about how they built the park themselves from nothing over the last 25 years. If you're coming in with a bigger rig, I'd suggest coming via the southern route through Cascade Locks as the bridge to cross the Columbia is much wider there, and there are no tight tunnels. Next time I return I'll definitely be going that route.

1 night at Willow Barn Ranch

Host was helpful and let us change spots to get farther away from the pond as we have an adventurous and rambunctious 2 year old. We stayed in the back pasture and had a great time. Our kids loved watching the piggies run around. I will say that Spot #7 “Willow shade” says it’s good for an RV on Hipcamp however it seems better suited for a tent. Not a problem for us as I said the host let us park our pop ip trailer in a different area.

3 nights at Timberlake Campground & RV Park

Timberlake camp ground was fantastic. Quiet semi private spots. Clean and well cared for. Marissa was a great host.

1 night at Willow Barn Ranch

We loved it here. The kids enjoyed petting the horses and the baby pigs. We were beside the pond and enjoyed watching the ducks. Very friendly host and will definitely stay again when passing through the area

2 nights at WindWoodRivers

This was my second time at the Cedar Grove campsite, and it was even better than the last! Love the addition of the table! The spot is spacious and private. Camping right by the river is the best way to recharge, and the hosts of Wind Wood Rivers have obviously put a lot of care into making this a magical place. Couple of notes (as the listing stated, and as other reviews have mentioned) -you do have to go down a little semi steep hill and across the creek on smallish wooden planks secured over rocks. It’s sturdy, but does wobble a bit. I was nervous, as I’ve had 4 lower body surgeries since the last time I visited, and I have some mobility issues, but I felt safe the whole way. My husband did have to carry most of our stuff across, so if any mobility devices are needed, keep in mind this may not be the best spot they offer, but there are more easily accessible ones on the property. -the compost toilet addition is a huge upgrade! You do have to cross the creek and go up the hill and walk a bit to get to it, but there is always the option to pee in the woods! -we didn’t utilize the sauna, but were very intrigued by it, and it would be a lovely add on for a cooler day. Highly recommend. We stayed 2 nights and wish we stayed longer. Already dreaming of our next trip to this site!

1 night at Cat's Forest Retreat

Great private spot, easy to find with the directions given. Responsive hosts. The area was beautiful and great for stargazing. We camped in our car and had no issues. Picnic table was very nice to have. The area had cool red rocks everywhere that were very pretty. We went to the observatory for the night sky show and came back late with ease.

Weekend Trip to Willow Barn Ranch

We had a lovely time. Plenty of room for the kids to spread out and play. Lots of room for tents and adults to hang. Really appreciate this place!

3 nights at Timberlake Campground & RV Park

Perfectly located in the heart of the columbia river gorge for all your outdoor adventures. Nice and quiet campsite for RVs and Tents. Clean bathroom and very friendly camp hosts. They have a small store on site for a few items you may have forgotten.

3 nights at Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

Best thing about the spot is the location: great proximity to so many wonderful places to explore in the Gorge. The RV Park has great bathrooms, showers and the camp host was super responsive and helpful. As a new RVer, the site was a little challenging to navigate, but probably no problem for someone with experience.

1 night at Willow Barn Ranch

Super friendly hosts, flexible and accommodating. Beautiful, peaceful land and so many sweet animals. Would stay again.

2 nights at Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

Nice quiet park easily accessible clean and the host was friendly and welcoming and it was affordable. its close to a lot to see and do i took my sons rafting on the white salmon river

2 nights at WindWoodRivers

This is one of my all time favorite Hip Camps! The spaces are very well tended and prepared with some of the most special wild places around. All amenities including eve composting toilets were nicely done and well maintained! I’d love to try the sauna next time, which looks very nice!

1 night at Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

We only stayed here for a night, but it had hook ups, clean bathrooms, and laundry. Good location along the Columbia River.

1 night at Cat's Forest Retreat

Isolated in the forest. Really interesting forest, mix of small oaks and large pines. Interesting geology with layers of river rocks and agates. Western Tanager at our campsite. Well graded unpaved road. Poetry Lane has a portapotty and picnic table, but is on a slight slant; better for tenting on the prepared pad or bring the chock blocks. Ravens Roost, up the road not 30 yards, is very flat, better for our poptop van camper; short trip to the portapotty (next time). Cat is solicitous and friendly, obviously loves the land and is happy to see you.

Dog and Wind Mountain RV Park

24 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents10 acres · Stevenson, WA

Dog Mountain and Wind Mountain RV Park offer a variety of camp sites, including full hookup RV-camping, dry camping with or without electricity, tent and campervan camping, and overflow camping. They're right next to each other, only divided by a private drive, and are both run by the same owner. Our office is located in the two-story building that says Wind Mountain Resort. We also offer a Glamping Unit with a kitchenette and three beds. Centrally located in the Columbia River Gorge, our RV Park offers a unique vantage point to experience the breathtaking beauty and spectacular waterfalls cascading from basalt cliffs, including the renowned Multnomah, Bridal Veil, and Latourell Falls. As you venture eastward, the landscape transforms into an even grander and more vibrant panorama. The Gorge is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, cycling, mountain biking, kayaking, whitewater rafting, excellent (salmon) fishing, two boat ramps nearby, and with Hood River, proudly recognized as the windsurfing capital of the world, only 15 miles away. Our area also offers the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, and three volcanoes, Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Saint Helens, the Bonneville Dam and wineries, brewpubs, museums, and so much more. Our RV Park is not just a place to stay; it’s a gateway to unforgettable experiences in nature. Cancellation policy: you will receive a full refund if you cancel at least one week before your scheduled check-in. Disclosure: We're sure a lot of Hipcampers look for seclusion and peace and quiet, but that's not what you'll get at our park. Although our sites are spacious and the grounds are beautiful with impressive views, we're located along busy State Highway 14 and there's also a train coming through at all hours of the day and night (far more often than we like). Light sleepers, please ask our host for complimentary earplugs or bring your own.

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!

Trout Lake Cozy Cabins

5 sites · Lodging2 acres · Trout Lake, WA

Enjoy the beautiful idyllic cozy cabins nestled in the trees at the base of Mt. Adams located minutes from the Gifford Pinchot National forest. The perfect spot to getaway from it all, relax and rejuvenate, or embark on an epic adventure! Trout Lake is a quaint little town situated in an organic valley surrounded by mountains with the main focal point being the majestic Mount Adams towering overhead. Breathtaking views of Mount Adams can be seen directly from some of the cabins and the grounds. Opportunities for fun adventures and activities abound within these beautiful surroundings, making Trout Lake Cozy Cabins the perfect place to escape and get away from it all. All of the cabins are unique and special with different features to fit almost anyone's needs. All of the cabins feature new and very comfortable queen-sized beds, and all come with their own BBQ grill. Satellite television and free WiFi internet service is available to all guests in each unit. Rustic propane fire places have been installed in each cabin along with air conditioning units to make sure our guests are warm and cozy on the coldest winter nights as well as cool and comfortable on those hot summer days. Parking is ample within steps of each of the cabins and is more than big enough to fit snowmobile trailers, horse trailers, RVs, or any other toys you may want to bring along for your trip. Trout Lake Cozy Cabins was formerly known as Serenity's, named after the restaurant that sat on the property. The Restaurant burned down a number of years ago. Since the restaurant building was rebuilt, we have been excited to have Mt. Adams Pizza on our property for the last 4 years. There are also a number of places to eat within a mile of the cabins including Mount Adams Pizza, the Trout Lake Hall, Post Office Coffee, and the Station Cafe. The Mount Adams Ranger District is a great resource for additional information about the area and recreational activities. Of course, having grown up in the area, we are always happy to answer any questions you may have or provide you with a "local's" tip/suggestions. Don't be shy, we are very friendly people and will go out of our way to make sure you have a memorable stay with us!

Willow Barn Ranch

19 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents25 acres · Wapato, WA

This small 25-acre ranch is just in the early stages of development. We are repairing fences and watering. I just added solar power and several electrical upgrades for RV's. The property has a 2000 feet of grass runway with an airplane hangar, so you could fly it if you have a STOHL airplane. The irrigation pond/pond yard area is currently available for camping. Many wineries, brewies and outdoor activities available in the area. Children can help feed or water the pigs and perhaps the chickens. Be aware though when piglets are around at times they are very small and are amazing escaped artists so do not keep food out unless you want to try and pet one they are friendly. We are more than happy to help suggest wineries and brewies in the area or enjoy the bar area we have! We offer several campsites as well as an in-ground greenhouse as listings. Guests love staying with us: "The pond at Willow Barn Ranch was picturesque. Show us around the property. It's very quiet and peaceful, and you can tell you take good care of your land. Wide open spaces." Please be aware that we do not allow parking on grass without explicit permission which is always handled on site. Vehicles will most likely not be permitted on the grass itself with rare exceptions.

Riverwild Glampground

4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents8 acres · White Salmon, WA

Our backyard might be the most serene you've ever been to! Eight acres of meadow and forest, surrounded by orchards, fields, and the roaring White Salmon River is the getaway that surrounds you with nature but has the comforts of home. The four lodging sites include 3 glamping tents and 1 gravel parking area with hookups for an RV or trailer (20' or less). To enhance everyone's comfort level, we have two plumbed restroom buildings and an outdoor kitchen. There is a large meadow with lawn games and two propane fire pits - and of course, heckling the rafters and kayakers from the riverbank is probably the best entertainment! They love waving and yelling "helllooooo" back! The property is only 15 minutes from Hood River (to the south) and about 25 from Trout Lake (to the north). Outdoor activities are endless in the Columbia Gorge - we have two superior rafting companies located nearby that can take you on a white water excursion down the White Salmon, and if wine is your thing, there are multiple opportunities for local tastings and tours. Waterfalls are abundant in this area and there are a ton of hikes to see them, ranging from easy to difficult. Many of our guests comment on how peaceful it is here and that they've never slept better - so, in order to keep this space as relaxing as possible, I do not allow children unless all three tents are rented by the same party. Children are allowed if staying in an RV or trailer that is hard-sided (ie, nobody will hear the tantrums - whether it's from a child or their parent!) Unfortunately, I do not allow pets. I'm sorry!!! We have 5 of our own who live onsite and I don't want to risk any unwelcome interactions. Our cats (Daisy, Marabelle, and Baby Meow Meow) are friendly and social, so if you have allergies, please just be aware that they might come up to you for a quick visit! We also have two young dogs (Blue who is Husky/Black Lab and Rooster who is Corgie/Blue Heeler). I try to keep the dogs at our house when we have guests but should they come down to the meadow, just know that much like the cats, they are super friendly and love to hang out. While we are located on the river, I do not allow put-ins or dips from our property due to liability - the current is quite strong and the water is glacier-cold. There is a kayak/raft drop-in at BZ Corners, a quick 3 mile drive up the road from us, or at Northwestern Park which is just down the road from us, and there are swimming holes all over the Gorge (just not right here!) Please do not venture past the rock divider at the edge of the riverbank, as doing so could subject you to poison oak that lives along the river's edge. If you want to try your hand at fishing, there is a small trail that leads down to the water's edge near the River House - just beware of the poison oak. Our propane fire pits are communal - one is located next to the kitchen, and one is next to the river. Both have igniters, just read the directions for lighting. We do not allow individual fire pits, nor wood-burning fires due to the county-wide burn ban that is in effect every summer. Our kitchen has a microwave, refrigerator/freezer, toaster, coffee maker, Keurig, electric skillet, 3 propane skillets and a grill, blender, cooking utensils, sink with running water, breakfast table, and extra seating. If you're bringing substantial amounts of food/beverage, you should bring a cooler, as space in the fridge is limited. All food will need to be kept either in the refrigerator bins, or in your own cooler or bin that animals can't get into. I do not provide food products such as coffee, creamer, seasonings, oils, butter, etc - basically anything that could spoil. I do provide a limited number of k-cups for the Keurig, in case you just want a quick (if not that great) cup of coffee in the morning (please limit your use to 2 per person). I offer a 15% discount when all three tents are rented by the same party, so just send me a message if you're interested in bringing friends. I'm also open to hosting small weddings/events of 50 or less - we host our own events here every summer and it's been a hit so I'm offering it up to others as well. Thank you for checking out our unique space!
