Nestled right by the Sandy River, this campsite offers a picturesque setting with towering trees and a peaceful forest ambiance. Privacy is a key feature here, with well-spaced sites and clean facilities making it a comfortable spot to unwind. The availability of firewood adds to the convenience, and the sound of the river provides a soothing backdrop. However, be prepared for a bit of a trek with your gear, as the path includes a short hill, though carts are available to ease the load.

Private camping on the river
My husband and I really enjoyed the two nights we stayed on the property. It is literally right on the river with huge trees and old forest surrounding the site. The tent sites are thoughtfully laid out along with two picnic tables and fire pit. The ability to purchase wood multiple times throughout the weekend was top and made for a much more enjoyable stay. The port-a-potty was clean and easily accessible. Pack light because having privacy and river access means you have to cart and hike your stuff. There is a cart to help you. It's not bad at all but halfway up I did start thinking about all the stuff I brought but didn't use. Perfect getaway at a pretty rad price- can't ask for more than that! Thank you for sharing your space with us and I hope to be back soon!

Lovely Peaceful Hideaway
This site is such a beautiful place! The cabin and site layout was thoughtfully designed while keeping to the simplicity of the natural space. Josh was easy to get a hold of, and the signage for parking and directions were super clear and helpful. We added firewood to our reservation, but there was more easily available via a QR code if we needed it, which was a comfort to know. The river is divine, and the whole thing is quite romantic. Definitely would come here again!

Beautiful views and it was nice that they have a wheelbarrow available for you to more easily get all your stuff to the campsite. Would book again!

Enjoyed Tent Camping at Site B!

Forest Camping/Tent Site (B)
The three of us and our dog loved camping at tent site B! There was plenty of space for our two tents, and more if needed. The campfire setup overlooking the river was so peaceful. Having the three wheelbarrow/wagons available was extremely helpful and made hauling our gear down the winding dirt trail a much smoother task. We stayed just one night for a Mother’s Day celebration but are excited to book again this summer for a family camping weekend. We never heard the campers down at the cabin site, so the spacing of sites was ideal for privacy while at the same time not being too far of a walk to the potable water and toilet.
