100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
After Matt’s career in lumber wholesaling and Susan’s in environmental activism, getting back to the land has meant planting thousands of trees, thinning and pruning to optimize stand health, and looking through life’s long lens with an awareness that we only care for a parcel a brief while then pass it on. In sharing our love of this place, in welcoming others to walk, play or to sit quietly in the forest, or at river shore, like a rising tide, we’re all lifted. Learn more about this land: A 30 acre riverfront forest with campsite, a fire pit and our welcome to wander alongside Pend Oreille River frontage. All enjoyed in solitude.  The 719 acre farm is operated by a community of elders who revere the out-of-doors, believing immersion in nature naturally, quietly teaches. It makes for better humans-being. Hipcamp dollars support natural means of improving soil health on the farm. Camper's choice of homemade cinnamon rolls or scones on the first morning, a 16x16' tent platform, Separette toilet, potable water, dock for fishing or foot dangling, warm-weather heated water for rinse-off (sort-of showering) and a canoe to enjoy. Controlled, man & fellow critter-friendly *pets are welcome.  *Please let host know in-advance of intention to bring a pet. We ask that no fireworks or firearms be brought or used onsite. Because wildfire risk is now at-hand, the fire pit, normally equipped with kindling and dry tinder (plus water to dowse) will go unused. Bring your binoculars and get your nature high. An acceptance of risk/hold-harmless waiver of liability will be provided all guests upon booking, returned at time of visitation (or prior).A thirty-acre forest alongside the second largest river in Washington State holds a single HipCamp site. A mowed driving path for vehicles or a small RV allows passage through tall grass rimming the single sprawling campsite. In the woods, a fire pit (when permitted), picnic table and private trails are alongside 1-mile of Pend Oreille River frontage. All enjoyed in solitude. Bonus? No poisonous snakes in this river valley. The 719 acre farm-forest is stewarded by a community of friends who revere the out-of-doors and believe time in nature makes for better humans-being. Hipcamp dollars support natural means of improving soil health on the farm. Cinnamon rolls in the morning, a 16x16' tent platform, camp-toilet (which involves some education on use); potable water, dock for fishing or foot dangling, solar- heated or campfire-heated water for rinse-off camp showering and a canoe are yours to enjoy. Controlled pets are welcome. Given the wildlife abundance, control of pets is imperative.  Bring your binoculars and get your nature high. Signing a hold-harmless waiver of liability will be asked of all guests.

Where to even begin. Susan & Matt we’re absolutely wonderful in every way. The pastries were the best we’d ever had and just above & beyond. If you appreciate being alive, being in love , loving history and preservation of a sacred space! This is the spot for you. We can’t wait to visit again!

A slice of PNW camping heaven!
This site is a little bit of heaven! Tucked in the woods with the river on one side and a large flowering meadow on a historic homestead, you feel far away from it all. Susan and Matt, are gracious and thoughtful hosts, and Susan's baked breakfasts are amazing. We enjoyed our time here. One day we just hung out at the docks, catching fish, swimming, canoeing, and just relaxing. Would definitely recommend and hope to come again.

The peace and quiet were wonderful! The baked goods were such a treat! I love that it is a private campsite with no neighbors. The dock was wonderful to sit and read a book. Enjoyed the canoe and even our dog (Buster) went for a swim and a ride!

What an amazing experience. Susan and Matt have a lovely slice of paradise along the Pend Oreille River in Ione, WA. Highly recommend this site. Worth a detour out of the way to experience such a serene location. The cinnamon rolls in the morning were outstanding. We will be back!

Beautiful scenery and amazing souls
Susan and Matt are two of the most amazing people we have ever met. Our stay was incredible, and it was entirely because of Susan and Matt. In 4 short days we felt like we had made new best friends, we will absolutely be staying again and soon. I truly cannot overstate how amazing this property and the people who own it are. You will be lucky to get to stay here and enjoy the experience. Thank you soo much for such an amazing stay, we can’t wait to see you two again soon!

Matt and Susan are wonderful hosts, easy going and engaging. They have a beautiful area with river access, a hammock, fire pit and platform if your tent camping. We had a nice level spot for our van and the cinnamon rolls were amazing! Can't wait to head back for another visit
