Lovely site. Do your part and help Clint care for his land by removing all trash and combing the sit for any bits of plastic etc! A magical place that deserves community oriented TOC

Amazing waterfall tent camping

Clint was such a a great host! The campground is small, intimate, and only 20 min from the nearest town. The private waterfall with a cave behind it and trails surrounded by wild berries were a huge highlight. This campground resides on Molalla peoples’ land and has so much historical/cultural significance (pro tip: ask Clint about the petroglyphs). I’d recommend folx bring water jugs to wash dishes or bring eco friendly plant based soap to wash them in the river downstream. The path to enter the campground is slightly long but Clint provides a wheelbarrow and brings down the firewood to you too— so helpful! We will definitely be back and will share this gem with our family and friends too.

Waterfall Oasis

Our stay was absolutely beautiful, relaxing and a true escape for us. Clint was the MOST kind, gracious and welcoming host and we really enjoyed getting to know him and being a guest on his land. He brought down a lot of firewood, greeted us upon arrival, had some wild flowers in the outhouse, and even helped us when our vehicle wouldn’t start upon checking out. When he could sense we were trying to figure out a game plan on how to get the vehicle out, he eased our worries by saying the vehicle would be fine to stay overnight if needed. We actually got a tow truck to come within a reasonable timeframe, but I really appreciated his flexibility with this matter. All of these little touches made a huge impact on our trip. The camping spot was extremely well-kept with little stumps and a bench for you to sit or use for your gear. The waterfall really drowns out any noise or conversations your neighbors may be having. We enjoyed swimming and using the canoe! This location is NOT a party spot. If you go, please respect Clint’s rules, pickup your trash, leave the spot cleaner than you found it, and take your trash home with you. One recommendation I will add is if you are a heavy packer/camper like we are, you will want to try to bring minimal stuff down. The hike to the spot is downhill, but going back uphill for multiple trips for gear can be a little hard for some. We are really hoping we will be able to come visit again. Thank You again, Clint!

Magic!

Gorgeous spot, Clint is awesome, the land is beautiful and feels well tended. Be prepared for cooler night temps even if it’s hot in town.

A real gem of a campground. Small and serene. Clint keeps the grounds in great condition and is a wonderful host. We will definitely be going back.
