When we got to the winery there was no direction or signage as to where to go or set up camp. There was no directions in the communication from Bart on to where to camp prior to arrival either. I had to find someone on the property to get info, and while she was very sweet, she was not too helpful. She said we could camp anywhere except in front of the home. She suggested down by the river, which was the preferred area for us, but when we got down there it wasn’t clear where to park, set up or even where the property boundary was. Additionally there were a group of guys down there in an RV with several dogs. This wouldn’t have been an issue, not preferred as it wasn’t private, but would have been okay. However, the guys in the RV started to scream at each other in a very heated state that was escalating quickly. They were also screaming at the dogs as they ran towards us, which didn’t give much confidence in how well they’d be contained. We didn’t end up staying as we did not feel comfortable at all at the property and since the hosts weren’t there we were able to get more info or direction on other areas to camp. I messaged Bart about the incident the day of our arrival and after but never got a response sadly. The grounds were beautiful, the other reviews were great but sadly our stay was short and uncomfortable.

Our stay at the winery was amazing! Staff was very welcoming and the owners take great pride in their land, I was in absolute awe of their garden and beautiful sunflowers! The wine tasting was phenomenal and we truly enjoyed the homemade dip the owners make. Definitely plan on coming back.

Camping beside the fruit trees and grape vines was magical. The hosts are a lively couple who have put their heart and soul into their property. Time beside the river was nice and cool during the heat of the day. Expect to be self contained if you are camping.

The day we showed up to camp was the same day there were level 3 fire evacuations.
The site was magical until then. Fearful we left at night and slept in our car the next town over. During the day when winds were down we enjoyed the spot thoroughly.

We had a wonderful time camping at the winery, we were able to tent camp right on the water and got to have it all to ourselves. The winery manager Alan was so helpful and made the trip that much better. It was a great 3 days of relaxing, reading and exploring, we will definitely be going back

We brought our trailer and enjoy the peace and quiet of the setting. We did some wine tasting and enjoyed Bart and Victory’s hospitality. Beautiful area. Would recommend it.

We brought our tent trailer and family to stay for a 4 day weekend. The hosts were very welcoming, and the experience was not one to forget. We camped, tasted wine, participated in their Friday evening happy hour, threw rocks in the river with the kids, and overall had a wonderful stay.

It was so peaceful. You really have to slow down when you get there. Nothing is rushed, even conversation. Such a peaceful beautiful place, took me back growing up with the hippies in the 70's. Cannot say enough about this place. The wines, the foods, the hosts, so wonderful.

Easy to find. Hosts were very nice and accommodating. We camped by the river and it was beautiful and serene. Very peaceful spot. We did not get a chance to check out the winery but will definitely be back!

This place was absolutely fantastic. The couple running the place has deep roots here and was very accommodating. I did a wine tasting which was a blast, they fed me for free, and I stayed down on the river by myself which was incredible. Don’t pass this gem up!

We arrived in the pouring rain, were given the perfect quiet area off by itself. Woke up in the am to discover it was garlic faire today on the property! We spent the whole day enjoying every part of this small community event. The grounds were beautiful in every direction you went!! The vineyard, flower gardens, the winery & the river. The river was a short walk away and we had our own private waterfront area to spend hours enjoying all the natural beauty of the Columbia River. The winery was the icing on top! The hosts were welcoming and we enjoyed every minute of this 3 night stay. Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful place with beautiful people. Didn't realize their dogs would be down by the river with us. So when I woke up at 1 am to the sound of something brushing against my tent I proceeded to endure the most terrifying 5 hours of my life. It was the Blair witch project all over again. But you do get to camp close enough to the river to hear the fish jumping out of the water at night and it is the quietest most beautiful torment I've ever experienced. So Probably try but I wouldn't recommend the river section for first time campers.

What a joy to stay here! The hosts were lovely and the grounds were stunning! Don’t forget to visit the water’s edge too! We will be back.

The tent sites were great, write down on the Columbia river. You could hear the fish, jumping at night, but otherwise quiet and serene. The winery on the other hand, had some excellent wines, and Bart knows all of them intimately, so make sure you get a tasting while you’re there!

China Bend Winery Estate
Cons- There was some confusion at check in. The campground is basically the vineyard or grass in front of the winery. No picnic tables or bbq or real designated sites even if we chose to camp by the winery except for next to the croquet.There is not showers as described.We preferred down on the lake however no picnic tables or bathrooms down below. Very long gravel narrow steep road from main highway to the winery. Now the pros- It is a beautiful winery with great wine and tons of canned goods for sale. They have a super nice spot to play croquet and have a great happy hour on Fridays. They are very nice hosts and they do have one large bbq to cook on close to winery. Down by the water is beautiful however road needs to be mowed down a bit. If we stay here again I would definetly want to stay on the water again we caught large trout and it's nice and cleared out from debris and a nice swimming spot. I would recommend china bend the grounds are gorgeous and super clean!!! Next time i would bring some fold up tables and more garbage bags.. We had a great time. We will for sure be back

China Bend Winery Estate
Not being familiar with the area and wanting to explore, booked 2 nights at what we thought would be remote, quiet, place plus wine! We found a beautiful property and friendly hosts. From our camp spot, it was a short walk through gate and woods down to gorgeous Rosevelt lake/Columbia river (dam alters official name and not sure where one precisely stops and starts).
As to camp spot, allowing camping on this estate feels like an afterthought as there are no defined spots nor are campers really disbursed on property. We were kindly shown to a shaded grassy area near perimeter of lawn to set up. Had imagined being more dispursed (19 acres) but was open to experience what was offered and learn about the area so not a problem. Prepurchased wine tasting and a bottle of wine when booking. Arrived to discover winery was sold out of whites (personal preference) and was handed a bottle of red Roosevelt as though that had been pre-selected. Kept an open mind, sampled some great reds and even purchased an additional bottle. First night, grounds people smoked weed and beat the drums quietly until about 9:30pm. Our camp area was realitvily peaceful, stars lit the sky, crickets chirped. Second night, family/friends of estate celebrated a Birthday party...until 1:45am. Having a host allow and/or facilitate high levels of noise to continue past 10pm without pre warning anyone prior to booking was a disappointment. Other campers also were shocked. Truly believe hosts were just doing their thing but feel more transparent communication is warrented during booking process.. No white wine (at a winery pre-selling tastings), loose dogs (very friendly), no set quiet time (inconsiderate).
Travelers not familiar with area, note property is about 45 minutes from Kettle Falls and 20 from Northport, both very small towns with few businesses. The surrounding countryside is stunning and untouched compared to much of the State. Our next stay in this area will be a bit more private and we'll bring our own drinks.

The host was very nice and pointed us to the perfect camp spot on a rainy day. We got there late around 7, but the host was still able to set us up.

What a gem in Northern, WA. We were greeted by friendly faces, beautiful grounds, and a truly wonderful and giving community. Tasting the wine while learning about the history of the winery from Bart was an absolute delight, and so interesting. A gorgeous view, dip in the river, fresh picked cherries, and a glass of wine - I couldn't have picked a better way to spend the evening.

This place is a beautiful property. Lots of plants and beautiful setting. Just be prepared to camp right in front of facilities. It’s more of a business. We camped in a front yard. A little pricey for what it is. No designated areas. One day was good.
