Book your campsite through Hipcamp or VLC Campgrounds using the links provided on our webpage. We look forward to welcoming you to Molalla Ripple — where the river, the land, and good memories come together. 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 fallen into disrepair before taking ownership. In 2007 we planted 200 trees 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 Splat Action Paintball is just five minutes away. Open all year. -March 21 – April 27, 2025 Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival Camp with us while you visit. Just twenty minutes away or thirteen miles. -July 1-4th. The Molalla train park! 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.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
The Molalla Ripple campsite offers a serene environment with stunning river views and ample amenities, making it ideal for both families and solo adventurers. The host, James, is consistently praised for his warm hospitality and attentiveness. While many campers appreciate the proximity to the river and cleanliness of the facilities, some have noted the proximity of campsites and additional costs for certain amenities like the hot tub. Nonetheless, the overall experience is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

This was our 2nd time to visit this site. This time we had multiple people with us and it was just as wonderful! Close location to the water, clean bathrooms, nice outdoor kitchen area with vending machine and tables etc... James, the host, is always attentive, around if needed and responsive. Very nice place and we will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay here at this farm. James was so helpful with everything. We had a beautiful location right on the river. It was also nice that we could add on extra amenities such as ice firewood, and a shower. I would definitely stay here again.
