Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.
Enjoy a quarter mile of Kilchis River access in the Tillamook Forest! If you prefer a more private setting you can put up a tent or bring a small RV on the riverside site on the far west end of the property, or choose the comfort of staying in our rustic cabin. Book both sites for extra large groups or if you need more space/privacy. There is no electricity or running water in the cabin, however a generator can be rented if it is desired. Potable water is also available on site if you bring a jug to fill. A portable toilet is available on-site. Take advantage of the opportunity to go fishing, swimming, or launch your boat/kayak/tube. Alternatively, simply relax and enjoy the picturesque views of the river and the wildlife in the coastal rainforest. Watch the salmon jump during spawning season in November, or cast a rod from our private fishing spot. We are also a birdwatcher's and rockhounding paradise! Just a few minutes away from town amenities, this location allows you to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the forested river canyon, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We are family and fur baby friendly! If you are an animal lover, take the time to enjoy a visit with our cats and chickens too. *Please note, while we have no direct neighbors, we are in a narrow river canyon. There is an active farm and wedding venue across the river. You may hear distant noise of their operations or events, depending on the season. There is also a quarry across the road that operates M-F, from 8a-3p that sometimes can be heard sporadically throughout the day.

RV/tent site ¡ Sleeps 12 ¡ Vehicles under 24 ft
This site is a flat, dirt/grassy space on the bank of the river. This site will accommodate multiple vehicles, small RVs, travel trailers, and tents. There is plenty of room to spread out for privacy. A picnic table and firepit are at the site, however, there are no hookups at this site. Generators are allowed. Potable water is available from the host if you bring a jug to fill. There is also a porta potty available at the site. Maximum occupancy is negotiable, just contact host prior to booking to discuss. This site offers a lot of privacy as it is located on the far west end of our 5 acre property. It is also the perfect spot for fishing with seasonal river access via stairs located right at your site. There is also a secondary river access dirt trail located just behind the cabin site. Launch a boat from the campground upriver and paddle to your campsite or drift from your site to one of the boat ramps further downriver. You will have private access to a prime fishing spot, or summer recreation in the Kilchis river. We are a perfect paradise for birdwatching, rockhounding, kayaking, and hiking all in one location! *Use of cowboy hot tub may be available if cabin site is not booked. Just ask host upon arrival!

Cabin ¡ Sleeps 12 ¡ 1 bedroom ¡ 1 bed ¡ 1 toilet
This rustic cabin is nestled under the tree canopy with a beautiful river view. There is a queen bed in the cabin and room to set up an air mattress or cot. Extra guests not sleeping in the cabin can set up a tent or hang a hammock in the trees. If electricity is desired, there is a generator available for rent. A portable toilet is on site. There is no running water, however potable water is available at the site if you bring a jug. There is an outdoor "kitchen" area with a small sink designed for use with water jug, a propane grill, and a picnic table on site. For your convenience, a fridge, microwave and coffee maker are available inside the cabin. For those rainy days, a TV and DVD player are available, or set up a card table and play some board games. An indoor safe propane heater is provided at no extra cost. Outside, enjoy a quarter mile of riverbank access to a prime fishing hole for Chinook, Chum, Steelhead, and Trout in Fall, Winter, and Spring. In Summer head down to the rocky beach to soak up some sunshine, or to cool off in the water. For ultimate relaxation, or a romantic evening book the 2 person soaker tub. Light a campfire in one of the designated fire pits on the beach, or near the cabin. Enjoy the sounds of the Kilchis river and coastal rainforest. Dogs are welcome at this campsite, and we even have an aerial zipline for use if you need. In fact, our river valley is a great place to get away if your dog is bothered by fireworks and noisy holiday celebrations. This site is most economical for a group camping trip, family getaway, or a special event! Book the riverside/RV site too for larger groups. Maximum occupancy is negotiable, just contact host prior to booking to discuss. This site can be booked without cabin access and the cleaning fee will be refunded

We stayed at Sarah’s site with the cabin. It saved us from the rain! Perfect location on the river. Had everything we needed. The portable toilet was clean when we arrived. Sarah communicated well and made the stay so enjoyable. Highly recommend if you’re staying in the area!

Family Camping at its BEST!
With pets ¡
Cabin at Grey Street
My extended family (4 grown children, spouses, 3 toddlers and 2 dogs!!) enjoyed using both of the sites on Sarah's property. What a special place!! A delightful little cabin, beautiful scenery, SO many amenities (hammock, clean porta-potties, tables, campfire, crab pots for rent, the list goes on and on) and I have NEVER met a more responsive and accommodating host. Having both sites was ideal for our large group - but on the final night I was there by myself in the remote tent site and that was DIVINE. Quiet and peaceful; frogs chirping, birds singing. I can't wait to come back!

This magical place is one of the best Hipcamp experiences we’ve had. Sarah and Michael are awesome, first off. Second, so much care was taken to make this place feel like home. The environment is stunning. Absolutely won’t forget.

Cute cabin by a river. We were unlucky with the weather our first night but Sarah and her partner helped us get set up with dvds, heating and it was very cozy. Second night we had a great campfire. The portapotty was clean.

Was a lovely spot to camp! Lots of table space and seating. Sarah was very friendly and welcomed us when we got there but gave us privacy the rest of the trip. The Kilchis was lovely! It is right by a road that folks go down but it didn’t bother my group at all. Relaxing time nonetheless.

Fun at the cabin by the river
Cabin at Grey Street
We had a fabulous time at the cabin. It was exactly the peaceful retreat we were looking for. I loved listening to the rain through the trees all night and the sound of the river. There is so much wildlife to see too. A beautiful place to visit if you’re looking to get away for awhile. We especially enjoyed the eclectic collection of dvds and watching the chickens roam around the property. Looking forward to visiting again.

What a gem in Kilchis River
Tent ¡ With pets ¡
Riverside RV/Tent
What a spontaneous camping trip next to Kilchis River! We felt very private since there are only two spots and we’re by ourselves on the first night. What we love in Hipcamp is we choose to be totally secluded and away from crowds. Sarah & Michael were very welcoming and quick to response hosts. It was a very last minute reservation and they got us in. They let us also use the porta potty close to the Cabin section. Clean and maintained. It was quiet and we can hear the river from our tent and birds everywhere. The weather was cooperative, too! Warm during the day, a little bit chilly and clear skies at night. We walked down and around the beach by the river where we saw different kinds of birds. The property is close to the road with minimal traffic and can be heard from the site, not a huge problem though. Highly recommended and wish to stay again. Just relax and be peaceful.

We had such a great time a year ago we went again! Sarah and Mike have made upgrades which were great although we didn't use the hot tub. We are planning hopefully to go back in July when it's hotter so we can get into the beautiful river!

It’s a great spot on the Kilches. Yeah there is an active quarry but they don’t operate all day. Not a big deal. Dog friendly and great river access. We travel with our own power banks so electricity wasn’t an issue for us. I’d go again especially in the summer for the great swimming.

Cute Backyard Camping!
Group trip ¡
Cabin at Grey Street
What a cute little spot! Was a little more exposed and industrial than we had expected, just off the driveway path of the main property/home and with houses and a well-traveled gravel road nearby. Site was clean and stocked with everything we could need upon arrival. Cowboy hot tub under the stars was magical, the little cabin was stocked with a heater, detailed instructions, snacks, and the lights and paths were intentional and helpful in keeping the vibes cozy and safe with plenty of room for tents. If you're sensitive to noise, this may not be the spot for you. There was a quarry some 25 yards or so away that was very very noisy from 7:30am to about 4:30pm on weekdays with machinery noise and beeping non-stop. Only an 8-minute drive into town if needed, spotty cell service but if you absolutely needed something could drive about 3 minutes out to have reliable data, and a great river for fishing. Sarah and Michael were helpful and present upon arrival and when we needed things and then let us be for the remainder of our stay. But the BEST part by FAR were Butters and Anubis, the camping cats. These two brought so much joy and love and relaxation to the experience! If you're looking for a chill getaway in the area as opposed to an airbnb or hotel, this is the spot for you.

Sarah and Michael’s property was exactly what we were looking for - private camp site on the Kilchis River for us to park our camper van for the night. Sarah and Michael were great hosts! Welcomed us when we got in, and even helped us get out of some mud that we got ourselves into. Property also has a nice little cabin available to rent! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Kilchis River
Cabin at Grey Street
Kilchis River cabin was largely as advertised. It is a rustic tiny cabin on a beautiful river. We stayed there in January which is an unpredictable month for weather and this year the river was very low due to limited rain. I had a nice tramp on the trail that goes along the river. It was cold! Which is to be expected. The cabin itself is small but could easily accommodate two people. The bed was comfy and warm! There were a few amenities lacking but our hosts were very responsive in getting us what we needed, such as a second chair to sit on and a kettle to boil water. Beyond that, the cabin is very basically appointed. The rental of the generator for light and power is essential in the winter months, as the weather is cold and it gets dark early. We were glad to have that available, as the site would not be manageable without it. Guests should be aware of this necessary expense/noise/fumes if staying in winter. Overall we had a nice stay, and our hosts were very friendly and responsive. But for the price and having to pay extra for the generator to have power in the cabin, we think this might be a better experience during warmer months.

The cabin at Sarah’s place is awesome. It’s warm and cozy with thoughtful touches and the rushing river is blissful. Seeing the salmon spawning and jumping was an extra treat. We loved our stay and are already planning a return trip. The hosts were extremely gracious and helpful - by far the best hosts we have ever encountered on Hipcamp. Thankyou Sarah!!!
