Elderberry Recreation Permit #1
This was the most incredible camp site I have ever been on. Words can not explain how beautiful this place is. Getting there was a a bit of an obstacle but once you arrive it it is worth every single minute getting there. I will most definitely be returning here. Clint is an amazing host. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable. He keeps this place in pristine condition. 10 stars out 10

Elderberry Recreation Permit #1
Camping on Clint's land was a core memory in the making. Out of his 3 sites, I'd recommend the one we booked, Elderberry #1, for two reasons: it's closest to the waterfall and because of that, the slight breeze from the impact of the water pushes the fire smoke in usually only one direction. Clint is a fantastic host. He is extremely clear and concise about expectations, a talkative, friendly character, and very kind to nature. The water is very cold year round, so be prepared if you want to get in. Clint has a canoe secured to a tree onsite and we found it fun and relaxing to row it around the small body of water. On a hot day, camping here brings relief as the 3 sites are down in a ravine and the water mist from the fall helps cool you off. Probably 10° cooler than up on the hill where you park your car before walking down to the fall/sites. We brought a dolly but a wagon would work to haul all your camp gear down that dirt trail and back 1/8mi. About halfway through, it was really muddy for about 10-12 steps. The waterfall provides great white noise for sleepers who need that! The bugs are out flying around quite a bit. We used 6 drops of lemongrass essential oil in 2 TB of coconut oil, and rubbed that on exposed skin as a natural repellent and did not get bitten once. The picnic table has no seats. You may need to bring your own TP and hand sanitizer, as they were out of both in the wooden outhouse adjacent to the dirt trail. But Clint gave me a heads up. So fun!

This campsite is the best campsite we’ve ever been to in Oregon. Think about it - when is the last time you slept next to a waterfall? Also, the host is great and should receive an award for his thorough communication. Book now before there is a year-long waiting list :)

Trillium Recreation Permit #2
This was the most peaceful and memorable camping experience we’ve ever had, We had the campground to ourselves for the first night and even though we arrived late, Clint greeted us with the kindest most welcoming attitude! We really enjoyed learning about his beautiful land and appreciated that he even helped us with firewood! The sound of the waterfall flowing through the night lulled us to sleep and the birds chirping in the morning was really a magical thing to wake up to! The outhouse was very cute and super clean! Clint takes the best care of this little sanctuary, We’re still flying high from this trip and we can’t wait to come back! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful place with us!

Red Alder Recreation Permit # 3
Beautiful camp site spots. They were well maintained and cared for. Our group rented all 3 sites so we did wish we had a picnic table at each site, not just one for all 3. Plenty of room to spread out and his rules of use were easy to follow. Getting to the sites was not a problem as long as you followed the directions (they were easy) and just keep driving when you get to the wooded single track. It’s longer than you expect. Super fun and would do it again!

This is a beautiful camping spot. We stayed in campsite site 1 which is the closest to the waterfall. The site was nice and flat, had a small wood table, fire pit, and stumps for sitting on around the fire. Clint was super helpful giving us fire starter and telling us the history of the area. Tips: It’s a little down hill walk to the camp sites so keep that in mind when packing. Also, it’s colder by the waterfall at night, so I would definitely bring a warm sleeping bag.

Elderberry Recreation Permit #1
Camping on Clint’s land was an amazing experience! Being that close to a waterfall was quite the adventure. I imagine in the summer the pool would be a fun time. The camp spots were very clean and comfortable. Clint does a great job caretaking the property. I do think we took too much gear down and getting it back up the hill to the car was a bit of a workout.🤣 I’ll be back in the fall!🍂🍄‍🟫 Thank you Clint for proving such a rare and special opportunity.

Most beautiful camping spot we’ve ever been to! The beauty of the land made our weather worth enduring. Clint was kind and very helpful. The walk to the site was an excellent part to the scenery and what a cool bathroom 👍 Even with the other tents next-door it felt very homey and private. P.s. Clint, thank you for the hospitality and we will try the rhubarb recipe soon 🙌🌎

Red Alder Recreation Permit # 3
Absolutely zero complaints. We just camped here for 3 nights, myself and my friend. 2 young women. We were honestly very on edge being alone in the woods on someone’s property but Clint, an older gentleman owns this land and he kept us very safe and eased our nerves. The site is clean, BEAUTIFUL, and Clint goes above and beyond for his campers. We are rather inexperienced with actual camping, we didn’t have supplies we needed. Clint supplied us with wood, a lighter, a lantern, an extra sleeping bag, ect. Genuinely, zero complaints. Thank you for everything!!!!!

We absolutely loved at our stay on Clint's land by the waterfall! It feels like you're in a hidden little magical ravine. It felt clear to me that Clint treats the land with a lot of respect and reverence - please follow his guidelines to help in taking good care of this little oasis.

Wonderful and magical place to be. Pack light or bring a wagon. It's a hike and incline to go to and from the campsite. Well worth it thought! The water was cold but we jumped in anyway and had a blast. Stargazing is a must!
