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.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
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!

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!

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.

Artistic and secluded cabin right on the Sandy River. Deep nature beauty and peace an hour from Portland. Everything you need for comfort glamping. They even shared an extension cord to charge my CPAP battery.

This was one of the best Hipcamps my friends and I have been to! Joshua was super helpful and brought our camping gear to our campsite for us, has Venmo codes up to purchase more wood during your stay and was super responsive to messages. Would 100% stay here again :)

Great spot on the river! Your own private sandy beach. Our dog was in heaven.
The room was very cozy with candle lighting and the bed was very comfy!
Everything is well marked and clear instructions provided. Would love to return !

We had a fantastic camping experience here. The location is ideal, right next to Sandy River. The host was incredibly helpful and provided detailed instructions about the campsite. The trail leading to the campsite is well-lit with automatic LED lights, making it convenient to navigate even at night. Additionally, the porta potty was clean and well-maintained.

I stayed in the Cabin and although it was a rainy day, it was still a wonderful trip. The cabin is about a 2 minute walk from the parking area but a heavy duty wagon was available to take our stuff down to the cabin. I would recommend 2 people to use the wagon though with the hill. Paper towels and a garbage can were provided in the cabin as well as a fitted sheet on the bed. Outside, there was a BBQ and picnic table. River access is right next to the site and you can even bring the chairs from the fire pit down to beach area. Will definitely stay here again when it gets warmer!!

Riverside Cabin
Everyone who saw my pics HAD to know where I was! Small 1 room cabin kept warm with the propane heater they offer and my heated sleeping bag. Follow a short but a bit steep at one point trail down to your private river access. Take a camping potty to save yourself walking up to the very clean porta potty at the top of the path. Side note-the cart to bring yourself down is sturdy and fits a ton, and if you are like me and have to carry all your groceries in with one trip, you will overload it. If you, do be careful on the hill, i was here in the snow and it was too heavy and too slippery to try and take everything in one trip.

Helpful hosts. Small hill and short footbridge plus well kept trail made access easy. Trail is partly lighted with motion sensing lights, which can help with nighttime access, but doesn't intrude on site. Clean, well maintained porta-potty. Level tent site right on the river. Thanks!

Riverside Cabin
What a lovely glamping spot this is! My partner and I had a lovely time at this site! We spent time at the river as it has a great little beach and sipped coffee in the morning while my dog explored, had a fire in the large fire pit, played games at the picnic table outside, and stayed warm inside with the help from the propane heater we rented. And the bed is king size so there was extra space for my dog to stay warm as well. We will definitely be back and plan on exploring the tent sites at the property as well.

What a beautiful, private little getaway right on the Sandy River! Only fifteen minutes from the shops in Sandy. We went for New Year’s Eve and were the only guests. If you’re reserving the cabin, definitely add the propane heater and bedding to your stay if you’re there during the winter/rainy season. We brought a blanket from home but the comforter and sheets were so comfy! We also added firewood to our stay and for how much we paid, we got PLENTY! It didn’t rain until later that night so we got a lot of time of a nice fire going. Sleeping to the sound of the river so close and the light rain on the roof of this cute cabin with the king bed was so peaceful. Definitely will not be our last time booking here!

New candles. Ask for bedding. Bring lights. Bring lighter fluid and lighter when asking for firewood because it’s wet wood. Bring or enquire about a heater because air flows through.

The site was beautiful and felt very private. There was plenty of room and there was even a cart and a wheel barrow to help move things to the site from the parking area.
