Waterfall camp

Gorgeous spot! Very well maintained and the views were amazing. Host was very responsive and helpful. Will definitely be back to hit up one of the many, many trails in the area. My friends and I did the Wallace Falls and Wallace Lake loop trail.

Waterfall camp

Lovely site (even during the rain!)

We enjoyed our time at the Waterfall camp! There are several platforms to set up your tent, but we enjoyed staying closer to the fire and ended up moving under the trees because it was raining for 7+ hours and into the night. Lots of space to move around and our dogs enjoyed the walk down to the water. Having a bathroom on site was lovely. Super easy directions and would definitely love to go back again when it’s summertime and no rain!

Waterfall camp

One of the best camping experiences

This little private camp site was perfect! You can see all the love and care that has gone into making this site comfortable and fun! Two different fire pits, wood splitter, Adirondack chairs, 2 picnic tables, platforms and open areas for tents, etc. A bathroom area with 2 very clean port o' potties, solar lights throughout that help during the night, and cute decor with even a little free library! Our absolute favorite part of the site was the view, you get a front row seat to a stunning waterfall and river with mountains and trees, almost looks unreal how beautiful it is! The only thing we couldn't easily find was a way down to the water, but it was too cold to swim anyway. The site is in a gated private community and the keypad didn't work, but it was easy to find the lockbox with a clicker. There was a good amount of space for our 2 cars in the site, but just be careful on the gravel/dirt road, it gets pretty bumpy and narrow in some spots. Hosts were wonderful, great with communication and their instructions were easy to follow. We will absolutely want to return, especially since it looks like the hosts are building a little staircase down to a little swing bench and we want to see what new things they do! Thank you so much for such a perfect way to end our summer!! ❤️

Waterfall camp

Really enjoyed my time here! It was small and private. The views are obviously one of a kind. Used the small trail to go down to the river and enjoyed the day by the water. Saw lots of fish jumping around. Train is kinda loud at night so if you’re a light sleeper it will wake you up. Saw a bear as well my second day so be sure to have some bear mace and properly package up food during your stay. Hope to come back with friends some day!
