SITE 1 Elderberry

This camp site is beautiful! We went camping in the early spring and would love to come back in the summer to swim. Be aware that the walk to the campsite is a bit of a way and mostly downhill. You may want to pack light. We brought a wagon that helped a lot with the load. Since we went during a storm, we were the only campers there. Privacy between the camp sites are just a few ferns, however the sites are a good size and the waterfall is loud enough that you probably won't hear your neighbors. All in all we had a great time and would love to come back.

Incredible waterfall, very well maintained campground, amazing little hike down from what was an already captivating drive in to the parking site!

SITE 1 Elderberry

My buddies and I really enjoyed our time camping on Clint's property. The waterfall by the camp site was a sight to see. And plenty of other views can be found if you explore a bit. Would definitely camp here again.

Site 2 Trillium

What a magic spot! We loved the seclusion, and the sound of the waterfall so near your tent was fantastic. The host is very responsive, but also gave us our privacy. There is an inclined path from parking down to the campsites, so be aware if you have a ton of gear that you'll be making trips. We did this and it was no problem at all. Contrary to some reviews, the host is very clear about his rules in both the listing and his explanation to you at check in. If you read the listing thoroughly there will be no surprises. The camp area is very shady and cozy, and there is some exploring to do on the property. Quick drive to Molalla, Silverton, and various hikes. The sites are fairly close together, but it could be a benefit if you were doing a group camp. It was a bit too cold for swimming in the falls pool, but we did spend hours just sitting and twirling about in the canoe that's provided. It was really relaxing and beautiful. Great spot, thanks for sharing it with us!

Site 3 Red Alder

This is a great place if you are looking for something a little more laid back and quiet. Clint, the owner and up-keeper of the area is a really chill, kind gentleman. You can tell he cares a lot about his land and just wants to share it with people. I am very gracious to have been able to experience this place. PLEASE respect the land, do not litter or go to the bathroom in the surrounding plant life!! A couple things to note: There is a bit of a hike down to the campsites. I would highly suggest packing lightly. The campsites are pretty close together, so be kind to the people around you and you are sure to meet some new friends. Overall, this was a fun, chill, meditative experience. I look forward to returning here. Thanks again Clint!
