A large grassy field offers ample space, and a private kayak launch is a short walk through a cottonwood forest. You will enjoy a private camp spot with shade or open space, where we can accommodate multiple vehicles. Larger groups can be accommodated - contact us! Slow Boat Farm is a large meadow, five acres of grass and wide open spaces plus a great view the gorge cliffs.

    Camped in a 15 ft travel trailer with friends, Sept 2026.

    This is a lovely location. It is quiet, the view is bliss, the host is super helpful and welcoming. The warm shower was a definite little luxury. There is easy access to launch a kayak and it is a 10 minute trip into town if you need anything.

  • Kendra E.

    Camped in a 15 ft rooftop tent, Sept 2026.

    Recommends

    This site is on a tiny little island and was beautiful! We had a very private camping area with a wonderful view of the field and farm area and a gorgeous sunset. Lisa and Holly were very welcoming and kind.

  • Grant H.

    Tent camped, Sept 2026.

    Recommends

    The camping spot is a mowed yard within view of the house and road but the hosts were gracious and let us drive to the far back of the field which was very private. We saw deer, a number of different birds including a kite, and heard an owl. The stars were incredible.
