Secluded private site centrally located just a mile from Interstate 5 off of exit #11, and 6 miles from the Interstate 5 / Hwy 205 intersection so most places in Clark County are less that 20 minutes away.
Please Input 23102 NE 3rd Avenue into your GPS. Clicking the link on the Hipcamp map will bring you here with an Androuid device, but send you to a gated community West of us on an Apple device.
Located 5 minutes from the Amphitheater,10 minutes from Ilani Casino, and less than 30 minutes from some of the nicest freshwater lakes around.
This is a secluded, Park Like property with walking trails all the way around it, and some interesting things for kids to spot, especially up Fairy Lane. Walking access is permitted, but you must keep pets on leash and keep an eye on your kids.
In the dry season, typically May through the end of September, fires are not allowed, and please USE EXTREME CAUTION IF YOU CHOOSE TO SMOKE ONSITE. If you are one of those who just tosses your butts in the underbrush, you will be asked to leave for the safety of our property and guests. There is no smoking allowed inside the cabin, bathroom, or anywhere near the sawmill, or any area North of it.
There is a public bathroom in the middle of the property beside the tree fort. It's well lit and open 24 hours a day. It has a flush toilet and a hot water sink and a HOT shower. * PLEASE NOTE To keep from freezing, the instant hot water heater is disconnected, and hot water, and hot showers ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM NOV 15TH TO MAR 1ST. Cold water to flush the toilets and wash your hands is available all year. You can use the discount code NOHOT To reduce your booking rate during those times
We try to keep rules to a minimum, but people seem to find creative ways to cause issues. Please park outside the yellow gate in the parking areas noted on the map. Please park on gravel and DON'T DRIVE OFF THE GRAVEL ROADS ONTO THE GRASS. Anita hates it, as you can cause a fire in the summer, and leave muddy ruts in the wet seasons. If you're driving through the trees, you're doing something wrong.
There is plenty of wildlife on the property especially in the couple hours before dark. Best place to spot deer, racoons, porcupines and beaver are down near the pond.
Enjoy your stay.

Have you ever wanted to have an entire campground to yourself?
Planning a romantic getaway, private group trip, or getting your feet wet with your first trip of the year (or ever!?)
We have got the perfect place for you!
Camp on the edge of Forest Park and sleep underneath an evergreen canopy of Douglas fir and big leaf maple.
We have one large forest glade with room for several tents. We book only one group at a time, so you are guaranteed the place to yourselves. We can accommodate up to 15 people, with a max of 5-6 vehicles (parking is tight).
This is a hike-in only campground most suited to backpack style camping. The hike in has two short steep sections about 50 feet each. It takes 5-15 minutes depending on fitness level and load. This is not suitable for those with accessibility issues.
The campground features:
-Fairy lights strung among the tress to create the perfect magical ambiance
-forest disk swing
-Large fire ring with seating for 7-10 and cooking grate
-picnic table with seating for six

-1/2 mile of trails with hidden surprises
- A parking area suitable for car camping or van camping during the rainy season.
-Only 20 minutes from downtown Portland, 15 from I5, and minutes from gas and
Parking is separate from the campground! It is a brief but steep 1/4 mile hike to get to the main campground and latrine. Bring hiking shoes and pack light. It takes most people 5-15 minutes to hike up, depending on fitness level and load size . If you want to car camp, you will be next to a road and separate from the latrine and fire pit.
Enjoy several short trails on the camp's property before heading to Forest Park's
Wildwood Trail, which is just up the street, or check out all of the incredible natural and urban nearby attractions in Portland.
We are about 20 minutes away Portland's International Rose Test Garden , The Oregon Zoo, and Pittock Mansion
Or just swing lazily in a hammock under the trees and enjoy the sound of the forest coming to

Our farm is a very special place in the heart of Portland. We have been farming continuously for 5 generations, since 1880! Our farm has seen many changes around us in such an urban setting. We focus on best sustainability practices as well as giving our local community access to agriculture. Sharing the land with fellow hipcampers helps us stay in business as well as continue to foster our positive impacts in the local community.

Tucked away in the woods, you will forget you are less than a ten-minute drive from Portland and Beaverton. You will feel as if you are in a forest on Mount Hood, and yet, just minutes away, is all the best the area has to offer. From Northwest Portland with wonderful and trendy restaurants and eateries like Salt and Straw to Voodoo Donuts, the waterfront, and Washington Park.
From the balcony, you may see golden and bald eagles, huge owls, woodpeckers, garden snakes, coyotes, deer, chipmunks, rabbits, and squirrels. Here, it is a place of peace, of quietude. No parties or loud music etc.
Currently I'm offering one occomdation, The Old Barn, as my other spots are being rented out by long term renters. Please do not explore the property. Just enjoy the solitude and view from the Old Barn. Pets are allowed but must be leashed.

Learn more about this land:
It sits upon a meadow with surrounding trees and a cow pasture in the distance. Spring time offers a small pond (please see below), but the Lewis river is close by with tons of recreational activities (swimming, fishing, hiking, wineries, etc.). There is only one site so there is a lot of privacy (there used to be two so some of the pictures show the older site right by the pond). It is a rural property with both farms AND residential homes/Airbnbs along the river and surrounding area. Town is not far (six miles) to get supplies and the Heisson convenience store is less than a mile away. It's perfect for a quick trip out of town for a day or two or just a quick and safe stop in your travels.
This a beautiful property and I enjoy sharing it, please be mindful of the rules. Quiet hours start at 10 PM until 8 AM. *This winter was tough, lots of wind, so some trees fell, but they are all cleaned up and lots of small trees were planted. Can't wait until they grow to help for more privacy!!!
Please, read the site description carefully! There is NO electricity or plumbing at the site but there is a composting bucket toilet with seat and lid in a private tent (so if you are a large tent group you may want to consider bringing another camp toilet as there is only one available). YOU MUST PACK OUT ALL WASTE.
There is a BPA safe hose for water at the top of the hill for your use (I usually have it on but if not please feel free to message me, and if you don't want to wait for a reply please feel free to knock on my door).
This site can accommodate a large group, please see the prices when reserving. (It can fit up to five RVs but keep in mind it's dry camping other than having access to potable water.) It is also perfect for just one person or a couple looking for some privacy.
I LOVE Dogs and they are most welcome, and may be off leash for a run in the field, however, they MUST have high recall. Please be mindful of my own dogs and chickens down below so please do not let them go beyond your site or the field when using.
*We plan on making the pond to be a swim pond that will hold water all year long (the creek that runs into it is seasonal so it dries out depending on how much rain we get in any given year).

This is our second time back! Wonderful, beautiful piece of property that allows for genuine relaxing and enjoying all that spring time offers. Jerilyn is the BEST host. So friendly, thoughtful and helpful. She really allows you to experience little taste of a hobby farm if you want while also giving you your space! We are already looking forward to the next time!

it's always a pleasure to stay at Stewart and Anita's place. It's very peaceful and quiet there although it's just a short distance off of I-5. The bathroom is spotless and it's great to be able to get a hot shower on the road. I feel like this Hipcamp is very reasonably priced for what it offers. It's close to the Ridgefield national wildlife refuge, where I enjoy some world class birding, so I have stayed here several times. I'm sure I'll be back soon!

i've stayed here before as it's very close to the Ridgefield national wildlife reserve where I like to go birding. It's peaceful and quiet at Stewart and Anita's place and it's well set up for car camping. The restroom is always very clean. It's quick and easy to get to off of I-5 but you don't hear much in the way of any noise. I would recommend it if you are traveling on this stretch of the road.

Weekend Trip to The Old Barn In The Woods
Such a charming and peaceful retreat! I would say, if you’re paranoid the treehouse is quite wobbly and a bit spooky, especially if you arrive in the dark. But if the neighbors hadn’t partied so loud, it’s a peaceful getaway! Only 10mins from the zoo ands camping experience with the luxury of a toilet! Was woke peacefully by the sound of many different birdsongs. Would stay again 1000%

Adorable spot! Well tended and beautiful. And yes, the hike up is STEEP! Luckily I was able to make it up there in one trip. Once up high, it was lovely. I arrived at dusk on a Friday. Planes flying overhead were only an issue until 10pm or so, and then again at about 7am. Definitely recommend this spot.

This location was quiet, just as described and had a nice country feel. We were able to give our dog some exercise and enjoyed the woodsy surroundings. It was nice to be close to town but able to unhitch and leave our trailer behind without worry anything would be stolen. It was reassuring to be behind a locked gate for safety.

Barry's barn is in a very secluded and calm neighborhood, with lush greenery around. The living place itself is very eclectic and cozy, and if you are music lover, its the place to be to spend a weekend, with all the lovely musical instruments available.
