This is the type of Hipcamp I aspire to be like! Caitlin’s estate is simply gorgeous—from the house itself, the fence chicken and dog run, the surrounding flora, and of course the grand view of the mountains (Three Sisters and Mt. Hood, I believe). This is one of those views I’d sit and gawk at all day.
The best perks to Caitlin’s Hipcamp are: a cooler with cold beer, seltzer, and fresh eggs (!) and the direct access to water & electricity. The drinks were not only delicious but a fantastic price, and so few Hipcamps offer electricity, so it was greatly appreciated (especially after traveling a few days without access to a charging station). We had a strong phone reception, too. Useful for days working while on the road! Firewood is available for purchase for use at their fire pit. Caitlin also sells firewood.
The campsite, fire pit, and outdoor table are located next to the home, and the road is a few hundred feet away. You can see and hear cars go by. As we sat around the fire, we kept our noise levels as low as possible, as a courtesy. This was not a problem for us, though it’s unusual at a Hipcamp.
Caitlin is an extremely friendly & helpful host who I would love to stay with again. I would have loved to have sat around the fire with her! As we departed, she recommended a few breakfast spots in Bend, OR and I’m glad I listened to the rec. Thanks, Caitlin!
