Erik's Swedish parents Ulf and Petsy Kahn purchased the Ranch in 1969, raising horses and cattle (200 head at one time). They rode the trails, tended the cows, and had great times fishing, swimming and camping. Campers can enjoy Kayaking, Horseback Riding ...and Swimming at our beautiful riverside location! Camp by river with tent, trailor or RV, RV "Boondockers" are welcome. Tour the beautiful Lewis river valley by horse back and ride into town for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Perfect first experience with horses for the kids, Erik is great with the little ones and makes sure everyone is comfortable and has a wonderful time. Kayakers and Paddleboarders will love the location, camping right on the 32 mile John Pollack water trail. The Quaint town of La Center can be your destination, an easy paddle, about four miles of natural wetlands and wildlife along the way. Visit The new IIani Casino 15 minutes away, offering entertainment and five star restaurants. We are really excited to share some of the most beautiful areas by creating a few private campsites overlooking the river. We want it to be everything the crowded campgrounds are not!

The spot is magical— with a picnic table nestled under a tree near the fire pit with 2 plastic chairs ready to go. Such a peaceful place but plenty to explore to keep our 8 yo and 12 yo (and our dog!) happy. Erik and Michelle are wonderful hosts—very generous and welcoming. I recommend contacting Erik to schedule a horse ride. We loved our horse ride into town. Thanks again!

Camp 5
This was our second year camping here, and I can't wait to go back again! Each site has plenty of space on soft grass (so everything isn't covered in dust) with a view of the river, there's a porta potty that gets cleaned every week, and there's a small dock you can go fishing off of or put in kayaks or go swimming from. Erik and Michelle do such a good job making sure the sites are well-maintained and that you have a great time no matter what––I just can't recommend this place enough!

What an amazing weekend!! This was our first trip here and we absolutely loved our stay. The river is gorgeous, there's an abundance of space and shade, it feels very private, and we loved swinging on the rope swing and taking out the provided pedal boat. This river ranch is a little slice of heaven and we can't wait to return next year!

Our favorite Hipcamp! Easily accessible from the Portland area, fantastic and kind hosts, huge campsites, great water play access for kids, and the horses with host Erik are a truly special part of the experience. We'll be back!

This is our third year coming. It’s been a wonderful, peaceful and fun spot for our young family. My kids love seeing the animals (we saw lots of wild rabbits this time) and the river is shallow and still enough that it’s a great spot for them to swim and kayak (mostly) independently. The paddle boat this year was a fun addition! I love the beauty and proximity to Portland.

The dreamiest getaway
We absolutely fell in LOVE with Michelle & Erik’s space. It was so dreamy and cozy. The hospitality was top notch, the flowers were the sweetest touch, and the communication was excellent. There are so many great places nearby to adventure, including a nice little hike on the campground. We stayed at camp 5, which is by far the biggest. We’re looking forward to going back and staying at camps 1, 2 or 4 - they sort of drop down to a second level right on the water, which provides a little canopy and makes for a fairy-like feel. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Thank you so much, Michelle and Erik!
