An area long inhabited by Chinook peoples, the Wahkiakum tribe likely referred to it as Chaquayalhum and lived in the area as a summer camp. By the 1780's trade ships began to arrive, and during the 20th century it became the site of two river towns, Altoona and Cottardi Station. After the decline of salmon these entities ceased to exist, and our land was logged (except for a strip of ancient trees along the rivers edge) and left to be overrun by invasives. We stepped in and began using ecological forestry methods to enhance the habitat, establishing dozens of native forest gardens to create a totally unique hideaway of privacy, serenity and engaging natural beauty. Rose Creek is a mix of boutique camping, wildlife sanctuary, and edible agro-forestry restoration project. Here you can watch eagles hunt while ships float by, enveloped by the scents of heirloom roses, after picking berries in the afternoon sun. Or take a walk along the stream at dusk, perhaps the owls will be about!  There are no RVs or large campers; you'll have no immediate neighbors, as we only rent each of our secluded sites to one camping party.  When renting one of our campsites, you're renting your own private nature park.

Perfect Weekend Get Away
The property was amazing and a great place for solo camping or a larger group with children or dog. It was well maintained and clean. A night you have a perfect view of Astoria I’d the sky’s are clear. With the opportunity to watch boats port in and out. Sol was an amazing host and even set up some tome over the phone to share some history of the land and give some insight to what we could expect while out on the property. He also provided fire wood a d fresh water to clean dishes and wash hands! I am so excited about my stay, and have already started to plan the next trip!

Relaxing and private…
The Rose Garden delivered exactly what we needed for our girl’s weekend. The view, the wildlife, the amenities, and in particular the privacy ensured we had a veeerrry relaxing time. Sol was very thorough and helpful in his description of all that the Rose Garden has to offer. Despite two days of rain, we thoroughly enjoyed our time thanks to the use of the Hut that is included with the site. There is plenty of space to spread out. There was only three of us, but it would have been a great spot for a family or two together.
