We had a perfect experience just wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be coming back! Awesome location, great views and just wonderful watching the boats come in on the Columbia.



We got in late at night and didn’t see much of the surroundings but when we woke up to a wide slow moving river just outside of our camper it was a real treat. The dock and buildings adjacent to the camp site are a bit of a work in progress but still usable to access the water for a quick brisk swim and a solo paddle in the kayaks provided at site. You can’t beat the location!


My family and I had a truly memorable time at Everett's site. It's honestly a great location: Lewis river is really quiet with very little traffic. The dock is a mix of fixed and floating moored decks but taking care to watch your step proved no problem for our kids.
Directions were clear and had no issues driving our 28ft RV from the roadside to dockside.
I would recommend going for the optional gas BBQ and kayak hire.
RV connectors: no water or electricity hookups. Extension lead available with standard outlet fitting for charging phones etc.
Everett kept in contact throughout our short stay, excellent communication. 100% recommended.
This was a great place to stay! Right on the Lewis River and within view of where this river meets the Columbia River. We could occasionally see large tug boats, full of timber or other commodities, being floated up or down the mighty Columbia River. There was a train track nearby, but far enough away to not cause a distraction. The road was right by the camp site, but it was not a very busy road and the traffic was not too annoying. There was a flight path above, and many small planes would fly overhead. There was even one little plane that was doing loop-di-loops, whirlygigs and corkscrew patterns above us. Very entertaining! Add to that all of the bald eagles, hawks, turkey vultures, ducks and other small birds and we were thoroughly entertained for most of the time. We tried our hand at fishing from the dock, but we are novice fisherpeople and did not catch anything. We had fun trying though! To get from our camp site down to the docks on the river, you had to traverse some sketchy floating docks. It was a bit scary at first, but by the time that we left we were pros at it and actually enjoyed walking the ramps. It was reminiscent of a river equivalent of Swiss Family Robinson's tree house, only with floating docks and gangplanks. Everett stopped by briefly and we enjoyed talking to him. He has a wonderful gem of a place here and I would truly recommend that you stay here sometime.




We loved our stay on the river! It was a great place to retreat on a warm summer's day. The use of the kayaks really made this trip special. We spent our stay kayaking, swimming, and grilling. The firepit area has wonderful views of the river, and you can watch large shipping boats going up and down Columbia River. This was a fun place to stay with friends - we'll be back!




Everett is one of the nicest hosts we’ve ever met. Truly a sweet guy! The location and views of his camp cannot be beat. The use of the kayaks completely made our visit an A+. We appreciated how dog-friendly his very private property is. I’d say that an RV would be more comfortable than a tent (we stayed in a tent on the dock, due to unavoidable seasonal flooding) but Everett provided lots of blankets and pads as a generous courtesy. My kids are adolescents so I wasn’t worried, but the series of older docks needing repair would be a bit nervewracking for people with young kids or older folks, or people who are simply clumsy. But we were fine and we didn’t mind. Some reviewers mentioned that his place is on a narrow strip between the road and the river, which is true, but the traffic was minimal and it was a nice quiet walk to the beach at Austin Point. The view, the privacy, the kayaks, and Everett’s hospitality were worth every penny!




Great communication. Amazing host! We had a wonderful stay at a very unique river location. Plenty of kayaking and fishing opportunities. We saw a beaver and a bald eagle. Will be back to stay again.




Everything was amazing. Very good care to patrons and very friendly! I would definitely enjoy this establishment again.
Great quiet spot on the Lewis River. Right next to the road, but very little traffic. We fished from the floating dock and enjoyed coffee in the morning. Everett was very responsive when we needed help getting water and power. Would definitely stay here again.
