Come stay in my cozy cool cabin at the base of Mt Adams in Trout Lake, WA. Cabin has one Queen bed and a fold out camping style cot under the bed. Max capacity 2 adults and 2 children.
What makes this cabin cool? Well, it is a retired DNR fire watch cabin! The cabin is as original as can be! Equipped with battery operated and solar lights along with propane heat! Porta potty right next to it for your use! There is a full bathroom and amenities to include fridge, microwave, coffee pot and air fryer just a short walk away! Dishes are not included and cooking utensils are very limited.
Winter sports galore up here right now! Cross country skiing, snow shoeing, ample parking for snow mobile trailers! OR bring your favorite book and come enjoy a peaceful restful weekend!
Springtime is a gorgeous time of year up here and turkey season is a favorite! Ample room for boats/trailers if you are considering hitting Drano lake for some springer salmon fishing! It is apx 30 minutes away.
In the summertime come up and enjoy the hiking! Sleeping Beauty trail is just a few minutes away and you are within 30 minutes or Hood River if you are looking to explore and check out wineries. There are cheese caves, ice caves, Goose Lake, Council Lake and so much more!
Fall is one of my favorite seasons! Hood River fishery has been amazing and the fall colors can't be beat!
There is a fire pit and campfires are welcome when there is not a burn ban.
Trout Lake Inn is a local favorite up here and check their Facebook to see what live entertainment they have coming up.
Pets are welcome - please make sure they are well behaved and are kept close to the cabin. I do have my own friendly dogs (Ruby and Muskett) on the property, but they do not have access to the cabin area.

Waterfall Sanctuary is a hidden gem on 17 acres, bordered on two sides by the Gifford Pinchot N F. In the heart of the Columbia River Gorge just outside Carson, Washington. It's home to a mini-farm with goats, ducks, & chickens. Deer & elk walk through the property on a fairly regular basis depending on the season, it's less than a mile walk (or short drive) to the Wind River with a swimming hole, & a short distance further to the Pacific Crest Trail.
A 20-minute drive & you're at the Columbia River. An hour to the West is Portland if you are in the mood for some city life, & 35 minutes east is Hood River, a gorgeous old town with tons of charm. The closest town, Stevenson, Washington is home to shops, local restaurants, & access to the Columbia River.
Also in close proximity are amazing waterfalls, trails, & National Forest roads that are close by & well maintained. No matter the season there is something to do a short distance from the property.
Keep in mind that the property is very rugged except for the trails we have provided to access other parts of the property. We are as off grid & sustainable as possible- while no electricity or running water is available at the individual sites, we provide battery or solar operated lighting, a container of water for each site.

Naked Falls

35mi from Gifford Pinchot National Forest · 25 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Naked Falls is the second largest waterfall on the Washougal River. This section of the river has been a hotspot for Kayakers and Cliff divers for decades. If you like watching Salmon run, this is a great place to do it.
This is easy car access to a raw outdoor camping experience. You will be camping next to the crystal clear Washougal River and have access to Naked Falls and Reeder Falls. Come prepared as the nearest potable water source is at least a mile away and you won't see any lights or electrical outlets on the property.
There are portables toilet now between sites 4 and 5 on the east side of the road and between sites 15 and 16 on the west side. Portable toilets taken out in Mid October and put back in in Mid March.
Firewood is not delivered to each site if you order it. There are many good reasons for this, not the least of which is that it can rain and then all the wood gets wet. We keep the firewood in a small woodshed and give you instructions on where to find it and what the code is before you check in.
Also, please remember that I don't live there and there is limited service on the property. If you have questions, please contact me in advance as I may be unreachable when you arrive at the property.
The Campsites mostly go in the order they appear as you drive through the campground. With some exceptions. Sites 8 and 11 (in that order) are up the hill from the fork at site 2. Sites 12 through 19 are in order on the West side of the river. There are signs with the site numbers next to each site. The sites each have their own parking spaces.
Please see the brief descriptions below so you have a good idea of what kind of experience you can expect at each site.
If you are not familiar with the area, or even if you haven't camped there before, I recommend contacting me for directions or information about the area before you go up.
Also, if you have an RV, you will want to contact me to discuss which site you really want to book depending on the size of your RV, awnings, slide outs, etc.
Each booked site is allowed 2 cars or 1 RV.
If you have more than 2 cars or 1 RV, there is a fee of 10.00 per additional vehicle.
Camping was banned all along the upper Washougal River in 2006 due to abuse from the public. An attitude that no one could be trusted up there formed and I lost my favorite place to camp in the whole world...but I understood why they did it. In 2017 I bought the property and worked with Skamania County to restore camping and the public trust in good people who love nature. There are now 20 campsites, mostly along the river, and I'm so pleased that the vast majority of Hipcampers are reliable co-stewards of this amazing recreational resource. It is up to us to keep Naked Falls available by keeping in mind that it is a crucial fish and wildlife habitat and we are but visitors there. Be sure to stick to trails and pack in/pack out. Nothing from town should be left there and nothing there should be brought back to town.
***
Site 1: Saltness Creek
This is the only site with direct trail access to the river on the camping side. It's also right on a creek and encompasses a corner of the confluence of the creek and the Washougal River. It's a nice open space right off the gravel road which allows you to park right by where you will set up tents and have your campfire. It also means other campers will drive right by your site and they will need to pass by it to take the trail to the river. This site is very convenient but not very private.
Site 2: Naked Falls
There is a short narrow trail that leads to the campsite on the Naked Falls cliff. It's awesome! This is the original campsite at Naked Falls and has likely been there for 100 years or more. It overlooks the waterfall and island downstream. It's really the coolest campsite but it's not for everybody. The area for pitching tents is smaller than at the other sites. Only 2 medium sized tents will fit comfortably. You may be able to cram 3 tents in but should be aware that it's only really meant for 2. Groups larger than 6 may want to consider another site. Also, it is right on the cliff where people like to jump so, while you have the best view of all the fun stuff happening at the falls, you also have cliff divers coming up to say hi during the day.
Site 3: Desk Job
This site is just past the falls. It has a wide short trail to the camping area and a beautiful view of the river that passes right by the site about 30 ft below it. It is nice, quiet and secluded.
Site 4: Middle Management
This site is nice for pulling vehicles in and around. It loops around some trees in the center. The trees to the east and North are all alders so it has limited shade in the morning when there aren't leaves on the trees (winter and early spring) The trail down is wide and short. There is a small opening with a nice view of the river and it's quiet. A great place to listen to the flow of the river and the beat of your heart.
Site 5: Conference Room
The Conference Room is tucked into the woods a little more than the other sites. It's right over the river just like all the rest of the sites but the trees like living on that cliff...like a whole bunch. You can walk to the edge and see the river but it's not the most open view of the river. I love this site. It has two old growth stumps from the first harvest ever at Naked Falls. They tell stories of the Yacolt burn and a lot of hard winters. A short narrow trail get's you from your car to to the camping area in about 20 steps.
Site 6: Printer Jam
This site is quite large and has the most extensive view of the river. Great for bigger groups or bigger tents. This is a chill spot where you can roast marshmallows while watching the flow of the Washougal River 35 ft below.
Site 7: Budget Meeting
This site is not meant for vehicle traffic! Please do not drive your vehicle onto the site as that has caused damage to the site itself and it needs to recover.
The last site on the road has the longest walk...about 50 yards. It is also a large space and is the most secluded. It's the longest distance from river access but also the most private. The walk down passes an old growth tree that must have fallen decades ago. It has a huge base and the root structure is about 12 ft tall. There are a variety of trees that hug this campsite. If you don't mind the walk, you are sure to dig the vibe at our version of a Budget Meeting.
Site 8: The Slash Pile
Please read this full description before booking. I'm giving this site a go because I think it's a rather unique experience for the right people. This site sits up above all the river sites. It is not on a river but has a river view and view of all the other campsites. It is surrounded by a slash pile which is the wood debris left over from logging. You can drive right to it but only if you have 4wd/AWD. The road is also surrounded by alder trees that might slap the side of your car as you go up so if you are concerned about that, this is not the spot for you. There is not much shade up there either. You may want to bring a shade tent. The site is fairly large and has plenty of room for tents but I don't recommend any trailers or RVs here due to the steep rocky road. Your walk to the river will be about as long as the walk from site 7. It will be an easy walk down and a bit of a trek up. If no one books this site, I will totally understand but It's a cool spot if you are cool with the challenges it presents.
Site 9: Hard Scramble Creek
This site is embedded in the woods and has the most tree cover. It is even further from the river access than site 8...about a half mile walk. There is plenty of room but only one way in and out so turning around should be thought out before you set up your tents. Also, I've seen people pull off trailering large rigs up there but I'm pretty sure it was painstaking. If you have a large RV or Trailer, I would skip this site. Smaller trailers and RVs should be fine if you have some experience and patience. This site is quiet and the sound of the creek is soothing during the day and night.
Site 10: Rock Beach Woods
This site is in the woods along the river near an inviting rock beach that flows into a crystal clear swimming hole. This site is not behind a gate and day use visitors are allowed to use the trail and access the rock beach. The rock beach gets less traffic than we have right by Naked Falls but it is part of the day use area. This is a park and walk site. Parking is along the main road and you hike in about 50 yards to the campsite.
This is one of the coolest campsites we have. Literally cooler as it is along the river edge and not along a cliffside like most of the other sites. Also cooler because it is under deep tree cover with soft mossy terrain. If you like the sounds of the river, shady woods and very close access to swimming, you will love this site!
Site 11: This One Goes to Eleven!
Situated on the top of the hill, this site has the most impressive views of all the sites! About a 270 degree view of the surrounding mountain region give you a great vantage point that often includes eagles flying below you, elk across the valley and a variety of other wildlife. This site is the farthest from the river, civilization and all the other campsites. If you are looking for something remote and have a 4wd/AWD vehicle, this might be the best site for you.
Sites 12-19: All of these sites are right near the West side of the river. They were designed to accommodate RVs and Trailers. They are made for one trailer or RV per site or 2 camper vans. Tents are fine here too. There is easy in and out access to each site. It is nearer to the W2000 road and the sites are a bit closer together. There is still a significant amount of treed space between each site, just not as much as the original campsites. They each have a fire pit and cleared space for tents along with the graveled area for parking your RV. The sites are fairly level but not perfect and some leveling may be required depending on the size of your RV. This area has it's own trail down to the river or you can use the day use trail just a short walk North past the wooden Naked Falls sign. There are 3 total vehicles allowed at each of these sites (no exceptions) that includes the rv or trailer. So, truck and trailer count as one and you can have one addition car...or you can have 3 cars if you are car or tent camping. There is a charge of 10.00 extra for the third vehicle. No parking is allowed along the W2000 road unless you have a Naked Falls parking pass for day use.
Site 0. This is the old site 12 that I had closed down. It is just up the hill from the fork at site 2. So at the fork near site 2, you will take a left and go up the hill about a quarter of a mile. It will be on your right hand side before you get to site 8. This is a large site part way up a hill surrounded by trees about 15 ft high. Very little shade, so you will want to bring a shade tent in the Summertime.

1 night at Alder Grove Retreat
We had a wonderful time at the Alder Grove Retreat! The cabin was comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and stocked, and the view was beautiful. A perfect place to spend the night after kayaking on Lake Alder. It was also a cool place to wait out a thunder, lightning, and hail storm the next morning. Dawson was an attentive and responsive host, we are just sad that we got rained out this morning and didn't get to stop by the crystal shop!

We had the best time! The staff was friendly, Karen stopped by to check in on us and told us about Camp Hopes history and gave us a ton of information about trails, swimming spots on the river, all of the activities available and other cool facts. We had 10 kids and 8 adults in our party and we were never bored. Out of town far enough to enjoy nature and unplug but close enough to get the things we needed any time of day. We will definitely be back!!

3 nights at The Village at Rainier
The tiny cabin had more than enough amenities for a couple to come back to after a long day at Mount Rainier NP. We cooked our meals using the stove top and electric oven, though being limited to one appliance cooking at a time due to the electrical circuit was inconvenient. The shared bathroom and shower/dish washing rooms were great. We never had to coordinate with the other guests at the property to use them. The bed was comfortable and well off the floor so it felt like glamping. There was a lovely porch but we mostly ate inside.

We had fun staying at Michelle's property. It was a nice little getaway for my son's 12th bday. Michelle was very accommodating and welcoming. She also shared a lot of great information about animals in her property especially horses. We learned so much from her and we are thankful for that. Our family got to experience riding Sacred before we checked out today and she was amazing with my kiddos. We are definitely coming back to try trail ride. We had everything we needed during our stay in Michelle's place and we could not asked for more.

Weekend Trip to Waterfall Sanctuary
We loved staying here! It was exactly as described- so be ready for a few “off grid” aspects and a whole lot of intentional artsy magic!
Beyond the cozy space to sleep at the cabin, the property itself had so much to offer!
The “bloom house cafe” has all the fun coffee and pastry goodies, anything you could have ever forgotten, for rent/buy and a ton of fun goodies for sale! It was such a fun experience!
Waking up to the roosters and goats baa-ing, added to the vibe!
There was a great swimming hole on the river that was suggested to us and we found ourselves soaking up the sun, just a half a mile away, during the day!
If you’re okay with a few off grid quirks, and a steep climb to your place of slumber- definitely check this place out! The other sites looked lovely as well!

Cute little cabin close to Mt Rainier National Park. Slept here in their loft memory foam mattress. Brought our own pillows. Overall comfortable sleep. Kitchenette is equipped with essentials. Made coffee and stored yogurt cups in the mini fridge. Ate dinner out so we didn't cook all that much there. Loved spending time by the fire. Definitely a glamping experience since the shower is outside.

We loved spending two nights at Dawson’s cabin while we explored Mt Rainier and the surrounding area. The space was clean and cozy and had everything we needed for an off the grid stay. And the views from the porch and outdoor shower were the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

Beaver Cabin (#1) is a wonderful, cozy place! The loft (up the ladder) with the beds was a special touch for my teen grandsons! The cabin is VERY small, so just be prepared to 'crunch-in'. We enjoyed the challenge!
Outdoors is great with the BBQ fire-pit...picnic table, and the hot tub an added comfort! Didn't take very long to get to Paradise & Rainier. Thanks you, Janet

Beautiful campground deep in the woods of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. I camped solo with my Corgi Garrus at Upper Loop #35. Surrounded by massive trees, my site was well shaded. All the typical amenities were provided - vault toilets, trash bins, non-potable water (you pump it from the ground spigot), as well as a picnic table and fire pit at each site. No showers, and I didn't have cell reception. The waterfalls are the star feature! Almost unreal how beautiful they are, and very easy to get a view of from the campground. There are also several surrounding trails that start out easy and get harder the further you go. A few spots lead out to the river, where you can easily wade around in the chilly water. My only complaint was that I saw a lot of pictures of people swimming around the falls when researching the area, but once there, I couldn't find a feasible way to get down there to swim. Maybe I just missed it, or maybe it's only for the adventurous brave climbers to reach. Just something to keep in mind if you go expecting to dunk your head in the falls like I did. The grounds were busy with people, but it felt safe and there was enough space between each campsite that it didn't feel too crowded.

Lies and Deception / The Worst Experience Ever
Tent ·
Big Creek Campground
I'm an avid camper, and the experience I had at this campground with the host was ABSOLUTELY THE WORST ever. We arrived at the campground early & carefully selected a spot. I took a photo of both the envelope with payment and the receipt clipped at the site. After exploring the national park, we arrived at the campground at around 9pm. To our surprise, there was a group of people who took our campsite! When I checked the pole where I clipped the receipt, it was GONE & REPLACED by someone else's!! When I talked to those people who took our campsite, there were already drunk and were at the verge of becoming hostile. But they told us that the host "allowed" them to take the spot. We went to the host and he said (1) we never paid and that (2) there was no receipt clipped at the site. When I told him that that wasn't true, he proceeded to tell me that the information I wrote on the clip let him know that we were checking out today. So, for a second, I thought maybe I wrote either the # of nights spent or check-out date incorrectly. But then, I remembered I took pictures of both the envelope and the receipt!! I showed the photos to him, then, of course, he could not lie his way out of this. We did not want to spend another second there, so we demanded a refund, and "MIRACULOUSLY", the envelope (still glued) with our payment was found in his RV. I'm reporting the host to the US Forest Service.

Great campground with lots of river spots , and a great short hike to the crystal clear waters of the blue pool swimming hole if you can handle the cold water. But on a hot day you do get used to it. I’d go back again for sure

Fantastic day trip with family
There are several trails for 4x4 vehicles, mountain biking or hiking to enjoy. Not only is there a gorgeous river running through to picnic near with fast moving falls, it has a high peak looking over miles and several Oregon and Washington peaks from Gumboot Mountain peak.

The fireplace is propane. When we called the ranger station they told us it was wood burning, I can confirm that it is definitely propane. There’s still wood stocked at the cabin, but there’s literally no place to burn wood.

A beautiful campground with clean vault toilet and potable water. There is path from our campsite that join the bigger loop around the campground and access to the river. We were there after the July 4th holiday so it was quiet. We chose this campground as a base to explore the East side of Mount St Helens. It takes about an hour to reach the hiking trails and viewpoints for St Helens. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed this location. Lake was low in October, but still lots of fish biting. Campsites are hilly and most don't have a ton of flat ground real estate so plan accordingly.

Just camped here for three nights. It's great if you don't mind the HORRENDOUSLY LOUD noise of the logging trucks going by at all times of the day especially in the early morning when you might be trying to sleep. Not the best way to enjoy the peacefulness of nature.

Beautiful campground and in a central location to get to nice hikes and attractions. The portable water is not suitable for drinking so bring your own. We pumped out some and it looked like watered down apple juice. We used our water filter to filter it, the water was clear for a day, but tasted like iron. It also starting getting yellow again after a day. When we cleaned out our filters at home they were full of brown gunk.
We would stay there again and bring our own water.

Great campground with lots of privacy. It is somewhat primitive, with only vault toilets and no electricity or hookups, but the grounds are well maintained and each campsite has a fire ring. We really enjoyed our long weekend here.
The hiking loop around the campground and along the river was enjoyable and easy enough for kiddos. There are some beautiful old growth trees to be seen, and the river is gorgeous.

Twin Falls is a great campground. It’s beautiful and clean. I’ve been twice and there are very few people who come here.
Be prepared to be cold!!! I have camped here in July and August and it was really cold the entire time on both occasions. Bring multiple layers and lots of warm and dry clothes, as if you get wet your clothes may not dry in time to wear them again.
Bring extra toilet paper, sanitizer, and BABY WIPES!!! The toilet is literally on top of a hole over a big septic tank. It doesn’t flush. I had the unfortunate experience of splash back so MAKE SURE you have a way to clean yourself should that happen!!!
You have to bring everything you need to this campground and Pack out or burn your garbage.

Great, large but secluded spot. Camped at E 6 along the right along the river. Fire ban was in place so I assume late night vibe might be different had they been allowed. Pretty basic amenities, the bathrooms look newer. Its out there though bring everything you think you would need.

Awesome campground out of the way from everything. The road there is a little rough if you don't have a vehicle built for it. Pit toilets and pump water. If you can bring plenty of water and wood. The falls will be awesome once the water level goes down. The campsites vary in size and some are only for The.

Camped here over Memorial Day weekend and WOW! It was everything we hoped for and more. The sites were large and had quite a bit of tree covering so it made it feel like no one was around! A quick walk and we were right by lower falls which was RAGING because of the fantastic winter that we have had. One thing to note, DO NOT follow google's directions as the address is incorrect, make sure to follow the coordinates! For sure will plan to go back!

The yellow jackets (aka: meat bees) are crazy dense at certain times of year. They go to bed at night, but they're seriously unpleasant dining companions. Those who are allergic should totally avoid this place.
