Welcome to Molalla Ripple! Enjoy the sound of the Molalla River rolling over the rocks. Wake up to birds chirping and tall trees swaying in the breeze. The campsites are sixty feet apart for privacy and one path leads to the river with two private beach areas to relax. NOTE, Please use the clean bathrooms provided. DO NOT USE THE WOODS or camp site as your bathroom room. Thank you, let's keep things clean and safe for others to enjoy! Jsm Ranch started in 2004 when we moved from Oregon City. This once was a working farm with two chicken barns and a meat locker barn. All had been fallen into disrepair before taking owner ship. In 2007 we planted 200 tree's and 100 shrubs to build a new fish and wildlife habitat along Woodcock Creek. We then focused on building fence along the Molalla River to protect water quality. From there, we started raising Black Angus in 2008 after spending four years cleaning up the fields to make it safe for animals. We strive to be good stewards with our land as we continue to work with Clackamas Soil and Water to make better working lands. You're only minutes away from the town of Molalla to grab a bite, groceries or other camp items. Also have Molalla Rodeo just 3 minutes away on July 1-4th. You won't be disappointed for a great breakfast at Tammy D's (Mulino, OR), sandwiches at Humble Pig or pizza at Bear Creek Pizza & Pub.

The site was fairly secluded and we had tons of space. I love that you're right next to the river and still have shade.

Site 4 MR

Loved this place and in particular site 4. The hot tub was amazing! The river access was perfect from this spot. The wood delivery and fresh farm beef delivery made things so much easier and delightful! The toilets were so clean. The potable water set up was so simple ands accessible. James has this place set up to make camping and glamping so much more easy and simple. My only complaint is if you are looking for complete peace and quiet, you can hear the highway at a distance. It was almost unnoticeable, but sometimes the sound of cars can be annoying if you are someone like me who is trying to get away from all city noises. We will absolutely be back!

Site 7 MR

Wonderful weekend camping and such a beautiful spot right on the Mollala river! We happened to be there when the camping area wasn't busy which was great for us; not sure what the ambiance is like with a full camp but we had a very peaceful time sitting in camp and watching the river and sometimes heading down to the beach area to cool off in the shallows of the river. Everything was very clean, the shower gets a big thumbs up from our crew, and the host couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. We stayed at site 8, farthest along the river, and it was a great space with privacy and plenty of space for two cars, two tents, and all of our gear. Loved the owls and the starry night sky! Just a beautiful place. Couldn't have asked for a better way to wrap up summer!

Site 8 MR

What a wonderful spot!

This is a wonderful, spacious site! The firewood we ordered was waiting for us when we arrived, we had a faaaaabulous time using the peddle boat, and even got to feed a bunch of incredibly friendly cows. This was my 8 year old's and my annual mom/son camping trip, and it did not disappoint. Will definitely be bak.

Site 1 MR

We had a wonderful time at Mollala Ripple! This was our first hipcamp experience and we'll definitely be doing it again. I loved that we had some privacy in site 1 and also the cows, chickens and random produce growing around the property. James and his crew were super attentive and the property was well maintained and all around lovely! Thank you!
