Exceptional host
My overnight stay was a bit off season so I was the only one there and coming in during the evening, and Don was very kind to start a fire for me so that I could find my campsite and have a little warm up! He is very enthusiastic about the property, which truly is full of wonderful wildlife! Unfortunately it was raining in the morning so I was unable to explore the paths that he showed me the evening before, which I'm sure was my loss!

We've stayed at many Hipcamps and this was by far our favorite, thanks to the generous hospitality of our hosts, Don and Cheryl. Amazing flora and fauna: beavers, otters, so many birds, wild edibles, farm-fresh produce on their property, and we even heard distant coyotes one night. Our hosts went out of their way to inform us about so many "hidden gem" activities nearby: hiking, swimming, fishing, where to get great burgers, even. It was a convenient halfway meetup point for our families in Portland and Seattle, too. The cleanest porta potties, and no mosquitoes either! The campsites were so spacious and private, never want to go back to a public campsite again, we're spoiled. It was a vacation to remember, and we hope to be back. Thanks Don and Cheryl for ensuring our stay was so wonderful!

Quiet, small and clean.
We utmost enjoyed staying with Don on his Birdwatch Camp. It’s surrounded by nature and Don is a perfect host. He even gave us vegetables and fruit from his own garden. We highly recommend staying here, quiet, clean and wildlife to see.

Don was friendly and informative and shared his vegetable harvest with us! Sites were spacious, not private but distanced apart. Well maintained property. Well-built firepits. Portapotty was in good shape, potable water available. Sites were on a small body of water that made for an exceptional sunset. We stayed just for a night on our way through the area, but I would recommend!
