We have a 1/2 acre property on the Cowlitz River in the middle of Cooks Ferry Park in Castle Rock WA. We bought the property to relax in a beautiful setting close to home. We only live 15 minutes away. The property is made up of dredge spoils from when Mt. Saint Helens blew and is inside of a park where people can go to fish and enjoy the river. There are only 8 lots privately owned and we are the first lot that you come to. There is plenty of room for an RV. Guests can also tent camp or stay in our shack that has a sleeper sofa. There are snacks, a sign in book, an axe, briquets, a fire extinguisher, and other items the shack. ​There is a picnic table, fire pit, BBQ, and wood stove. There is a porta potty on the property. We keep our travel trailer there to enjoy when we can. We will try our best to not be there when you are staying at the property but if you book less than 1 week in advance, we may be there.  In summer, we may be kayaking. We put in upriver and get out at the property. If that is a problem, please message me before you book. If you continue going past our property, there are some nice rock beaches with pretty views. People fish there and wade in the water in the summer. Castle Rock is a cute little town with some nice shops, restaurants and bars. I recommend checking it out! We are not picky about check in/check out time. It would only matter if someone else was checking in the day you are checking out. Please ask if you expect to arrive earlier or want to check out later.

Relax by the River
Susan reached out with instructions on how to get there, the code to the gate and even advised us about a ramp closure. The site was so pretty and had a beautiful view of the river! We came to decompress and relax and that’s exactly what we were able to do. Susan checked in with us to make sure we were able to get into everything and really made us feel welcomed. We had snow falling and even sticking the day that we were leaving and it made us want to stay another night! We’ve already told a couple of friends and some family members that this was a wonderful stay! We’ll definitely book again!

Good times on the river
Had a fun time. Great place to camp and relax. They provided fire wood and have updated since the last time we stayed with a fire pit and steps down to the river

Everything was perfect!! The views were beauitful and setting up a tent to view the river and watch the sunrise. We have a dog and it was really nice to have space for her to run and play. All the firewood that we needed was provided which is great for us with limited car space. I will say I was not expecting not to have power. In some of the pictures I thought I saw a microwave and tea kettle but that was the only thing. If anything, not having power was a blessing. I highly recommend this space. It was perfect.

Camping with a view
Susan was a fantastic host. Would stay at the property again just based on that. But I can’t leave out how perfect the spot was. I highly recommend.
