This cozy camper in the woods is a mixed bag of serenity and activity. The deck provides a perfect spot for lounging or yoga, with a charming view of the river, while wildlife like deer and eagles adds to the natural allure. However, its proximity to a busy road means early wake-up calls from passing trucks are common, and some guests have noted cleanliness issues. Despite these drawbacks, the thoughtful details and amenities make it a popular choice for those seeking a rustic escape with modern comforts.

We had a short stay and didn't get to enjoy the deck but the space was comfortable and had everything we needed for the night. We would definitely book again for a longer stay!

I loved that this little spot felt further 'out there' despite it being close to town and the road. The camper itself was very cute and cozy. The partially covered deck was plenty of space and allowed us to enjoy the outdoors despite some rain. Also loved the gravel fire area and all the great mood lighting. Being fenced in around deck was PERFECT for keeping our medium/large size dogs wrangled. Overall very happy.

Super cute and convenient
Super cute and convenient to paddle boarding locations! We stay mid-week, so if that is your plan too, be prepared to wake with the rock quarry workers as they barrel past in their dump trucks. We were warned to expect them, we just weren’t expecting them at 5:39am each morning. 😴 Other than rising earlier than planned, the place was nearly perfect! We cooked most meals outside, so we’d have more prep space. Brought sponge bath supplies for the lack of showers. And enjoyed the amazing deck (perfect for yoga, lounging in the chairs, and inspired writing sessions)! We will totally stay here again.

This place is so peaceful, inviting and comforting!! The bed is also so lovely and this is coming from someone who has a bad lower back. They literally have thought of everything!! Bring your food, bring your drinks and bring your good attitude and they got everything else covered!! Games, great WIFI for the bad cell service, TV if you'd rather relax indoors and even coozies i you like a frosty beverage! Think that's where it stops? NOPE, if you have a furry friend, well they thought of that too!! They have a water bowl, toys, treats and a comfy deck for your furry pal to hang out with you! I recommend a reclining fold up chair positioned right at the view point of the Toutle river. Heaven was built on the memories made there this weekend with our pups and eachother. 'Magical' has been used plenty of times in the description of this place by others, it fits and they were right!! I will also say the Hosts are highly responsive, courtious and thoughtful! Thank you for sharing this with all of us! I will be back and definitely HIGHLY recommend!!

Lovely little camper in the woods, with the most beautiful scenery. We saw lots of wildlife, including a fox, deer, eagles, many birds, and a river otter.
The deck is lovely to hang out on, and the covered lounge area has a great view. We enjoyed BBQing on the deck, also appreciated that we could make and eat breakfast inside. For folks who love details, the camper has a medium sized fridge (think bigger than a hotel mini fridge) with plenty of space for beverages, meat, and frozen stuff. There’s a microwave and stove, plus a coffee maker that they left us water to use! Lots of DVDs, games, and BBQ tools. The kitchen also has plates, bowls, and silverware, plus some cooking tools. There’s also plenty of cabinet for storage.
We loved staying here and would come again!

Cute, charming camper
Such a charming lil spot! Really enjoyed our weekend at the camper. You can tell they have put a lot of thought into the space. The surrounding area is gorgeous. We kayaked at Silver Lake (12 min drive away) but there is river access just down the street as well. Loved the DVD selection and nostalgia it brought 😊

A lovely and private place in the woods and overlooking the river. The camper is clean and cozy and the deck is lovely! Easy communication with hosts. I would for sure come again!

We needed a spot to stop at just overnight during our road trip. It had everything we needed for our short stay. Cleanliness is a big thing for me and when we entered it looked like piles of dirt had been made with a broom but never picked up and hair in the corners. I’d hope between people the place would be vacuumed and floors washed especially with pets being allowed. Luckily the bedding and towels were clean and smelt good. The blankets are very thin on bed and only 2 pillow so maybe bring your own. Another detail when it comes to cleaning is the extra blankets in the cupboard we’re all covered in dog hair and smelt of wet dog, as well as the 2 throw pillows on the bed/couch dog hair on them. It was okay for a quick stay and if the cleaning details were fixed then it would be 10/10.

A cute and simple spot that is so convenient for river swimming and exploring Mt. St. Helens! The deck is the best part and we spent most of our time out there both morning and night. Also a great spot for bird watching in the morning with coffee. Loved the small TV with a collection of classic movies. Without potable water it was rustic but we couldn’t have asked for much more. Road noise wasn’t an issue as the traffic dropped off around 9pm. Saw a Bald Eagle and even an owl! Thanks Tristan and Liz.

Great deck, super cute and efficient camper. Would definitely recommend for 2 people and possibly child or dogs. Deck is fenced and large but on a somewhat busy road. Beautiful area and town is cute.

Great place with cool decor. Camper new on the inside. It says it's on an acre, but not like you think. No where for the dog to potty, except in the parking spot. It's right on the road also. Luckily there is a park nearby so we could walk the dog. Bring a discover pass.
We saw lots of birds and bats! Also a Beaver!! Would definitely stay again.

My first time staying in a camper and it was an absolute delight!
There was a dirty fork left in the sink and we had no hot water, but that doesn't diminish how lovely our stay was. Even though we were only there one night, it was exactly what we needed. We snuggled on the deck at night and watched deer cross the river in the morning.
Definitely recommend!

Beautiful and romantic stay!
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Tristan and Liz’s camper in the firs. We came into town to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and loved every second of our stay. The decorations throughout the camper are a beautiful touch and the blankets are cozy and comfortable. The bed is nice and soft but could use a few more pillows in my personal opinion. They have wonderful games and movies to occupy your time and a wonderful fire heater inside to keep warm.

What a cozy, comfortable place to spend a couple of nights! We were in town for a trail race at MSH and this was the perfect spot to rest up and recover. The space is small but well organized and very clean. The view of the river is lovely and the deck was a perfect place to enjoy it from. Would return!

We had a little girls trip and this was the perfect place for it!! Spent our days doing puzzles on the deck overlooking the river, kayaking on nearby silver lake, and finishing off the days cooling down in the air conditioned camper watching movies. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an outdoor experience but still having some luxuries

Spent a perfectly relaxing weekend! We had everything we needed to be comfortable. The couch folds out to an extra bed, and there is still plenty of room to move around when it is out. So many clever and creative details in and outside of the camper. The lights on the deck at night make it magical. Listening to the river was so enjoyable. Communication with the owners was timely and friendly. We will be back again!

Great site to relax after a day of hiking. The RV has everything you need from plates, cups, utensils, spare blankets, and more. They even stock up on supplies of toilet paper and toothbrushes. Even had a TV with a dvd player to watch movies. Definitely will come back in the future!

Not worth 80 a night.
There was only a small amount of water, so really no way to flush camper toilet, no shower and no cleaning supplies, no tv and small amount of Children's videos with the exception of goonies, which still is kind of child's video, They did have a lot of games, but for $80 this wasn't. I think all we expected. We are avid hip camp campers. We love it. This was the only time we've ever had to write it negative review. and It looks like you can get to the water but sadly you can't. The quarry up the road has trucks that drive by super fast from 6am to 5pm.

Cute site and worked perfect for our stay. I enjoyed sitting out on the deck, especially at night with the lights.

Such a cute little spot! Loved reading on the beautiful deck, loved that the deck was fenced in so my pup could explore. Very comfortable, exactly what I was looking for after hiking around Coldwater lake. It's also only 10 mins from Castle Rock if you need a burger. Very happy with this spot and would absolutely recommend to others!

March Get-A-Way
Absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful porch and beautiful view. They have everything you need, pots/pan, silverware, plates.. etc. I would recommend bringing a warm blanket to sleep with, as it does get very cold. Other than that, you are pretty much all set.
Mount St. Helens is an hour drive away and you can take Spirit Lake Hwy to get out there which is absolutely STUNNING! Restaurants and convenience stores are right around the corner. Very very comfortable place. We will be back :)
