100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

We are new stewards and first-time homeowners of this serene, 10.5 acre homestead. 'Modern' human development on this land first began in old logging days in the early 1900s and old logging access road still runs through the center of our property. When we purchased this land in 2020, we knew we were investing in a real 'fixer-upper'. Our property sustained massive damage in a 2025 wild fire, so we have a zero tolerance policy if burn ban is violated. During your visit, look for signs of fire damage around the property. Some of our previous trails and lookout zones were destroyed. But, please feel free to still wander around and be mindful of erosion, especially up the hill. What changes and regeneration can you spot?? The original Buckminster Fuller geodome home was built back in the 1970s, and the outbuildings and garden spaces were later added on as the property changed hands over the decades. By the time we landed here, however, the home was in severe state of neglect. As we continue to care for and restore this home and land, we aim to use environmentally sustainable practices to minimize our impact on the land while upcycling, recycling, and re-using anything we can in the process! Follow our progress on Instagram at: @dome.sweet.home!Nestled among a quiet grove of oak trees, your camping oasis awaits. Kick back in the hammock after a long day of hiking or saunter up Turkey Tail Ridge for a sunset view. Nestled in the Columbia River Gorge, this site is minutes away from trailheads, hikes, swimming, fishing opps, wineries, and views. A mere 25 minutes from Hood River and The Dalles, you'll love this centrally-located spot. Simple yet serene, your site offers the convenience of: * A composting poogoda * A common area with a fire pit, hammock and picnic table * A book nook with games and lounge mats * A community bulletin board * A compost bin * Views of Mt. Hood, and * Three small 1-2 person tent sites In the morning, arise to the pleasant sounds of nature - you might even catch a glimpse of the wild turkeys or deer. In the evening, relax under the twinkle of fairy lights and the night stars. Please be aware that cell reception fuzzy out here, and poison oak abounds to the southwest side of the camp. Please stay clear of 'Dante's Grotto' and bring plenty of bug spray! Burn ban runs May 18th to October 15th!! PLEASE no fires - we live in a high fire danger zone. Propane cooking stoves, however, are allowed by the county. There are 3 tent sites tucked under the trees. They are suitable for 1-2 person size small tents. Each site averages roughly 10 feet in diameter. **Please note** We live off of a backcountry road, and you can hear some intermittent road noise as cars travel through the valley. We have earplugs in the 'poogoda' if you're a light sleeper. Thankfully, the site is tucked away from road and out of view! Make sure to bring plenty of layers and extra blankets! It can get quite windy in the gorge and in the site, especially in the evenings. Please carry out all your trash and recycling - food waste can go in the compost bin located across the road from the poogoda. Keep in mind that there is no water at the campsite We are happy to re-up you as needed. If you're bringing canine companions, please keep them within sight at all times, as we have 2 cats on the property ... and, our neighbors own animals and other doggies. Looking for hiking recommendations? We're happy to refer our fave spots.
