Sisu Camping Retreat

Quiet weekend. My dog and I walked the field trails in the morning and evening. Saturday morning we walked to the Covered Bridge. Four and a half mile (rt) walk on a road that had very little traffic. Past an old farm on the way. The elk were out early Sunday morning but we missed them.

The camp is very quiet and somewhat secluded, while it is close to the road, there wasn't much traffic and when there was you didn't really notice it. It's only three minutes from the historic Gray's River covered bridge and we spent a half day collecting agates and jasper from the river one day and went out to Long Beach the next day. The hosts were very gracious and replied quickly to messages. There is no cell service and while the host doors provide wi-fi it jumped in and out a lot. The sites closer to hosts seemed to have much better connectivity when we walked up the gravel road. Well worth the nightly price though.

Location was easy to find and as described. Mark swung by to make sure myself and the other campers were all set for the evening which was appreciated. My truck and 25' boat/trailer fit well in campsite 3.

Camping in a field

Mark was super friendly. Spot was minimalist as described. A bit of road noise, but fine for a cheap place to stay.

A perfect spot

We really enjoyed the trip days we spent on Mark and Lisa's property. It's beautiful and will manicured with fresh blackberries to pick and a spring running along the backside of the site. Mark was very welcoming and gracious, even helped us out with a missing ingredient to complete our dinner. Thanks and we hope to stay with you again someday!

Mark & Lisa were very gracious hosts. Lisa rode out to meet us as we set up camp on our check in day and both rode out to check that we enjoyed our stay at pack out. The space is very nice and secluded enough that we weren’t bothered by any of the big event traffic or noise.

Solid One Night Stay

Great one night stay. It was easy to find, flat area to park. Stream right near by. Not a super picturesque site but worked great for us when visiting Good River area of Oregon.

We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect for the activities we had planned. The directions and arrival instructions were simple and the hosts made us feel right at home. The setting is just beautiful and we frequently saw deer in the meadow that the site overlooks.

Perfection. Mark is a great host and I enjoyed chatting with him. This location is perfect for my needs and I recommend anyone fishing the Columbia to consider camping here. There is more than enough room for a boat to turn around. It's quiet and very accessible. There is also corn hole!

This was a very nice place to camp. The view is a beautiful meadow; Lisa met us when we drove in and showed us our spot. The place is very clean and well maintained. We’d come back again.

Wonderful Hosts!

16 ft car ·

The hosts were absolutely wonderful! Very helpful and communicative. There was a little mix up of our site but they immediately informed us before we arrived to work things through and they were there in person to help us get situated. Absolutely lovely people. The spot we stayed at had a pretty view of their property and was recently maintained. I love the smell of fresh cut grass. They mow trails all around their property and I enjoyed walking my dog along the trail in the morning fog. There's an Irish pub at the start of the road to their campground that has fantastic homemade apple pie, definitely get you some pie. Google maps took us to the wrong location so be sure to put in the address they provide. Cape Dissapointment was a 40 minute drive and a perfect destination for hiking and site seing some pretty lighthouses or roaming the beach. If you like old forts there's Fort Columbia on the way as well. All in all, I highly recommend!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Sisu Camping Retreat! The hosts, Lisa and Mark, were exceptional—so kind, caring, accommodating, and genuinely dedicated to making our experience special. Our site was set at the edge of a spacious, peaceful field, beneath beautiful trees, the perfect, peaceful spot to relax and enjoy nature. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, always ready to help make our day even better. One of the highlights was enjoying a delicious breakfast on the deck at Duffy’s Irish Pub—just a very short walk away, right on Gray’s River, it’s a one-of-a-kind historic spot with tons of charm.The owner and chef of Duffy’s Irish Pub is 92 years old! It was a memorable and relaxing stay all around, and we’re already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend!
