Beautiful Property!
The property was beautiful and in a great location! Kiva was great and the farm fresh eggs were a treat!

Rustic spot, beautiful veiws.
Beautiful spot —rustic with a road that needs some work or at least an appropriate vehicle to climb. We did take our truck and small trailer up..so we were fine, but prepare for tight turns and engage your 4 wheel drive.

Rustic dry camping!
This site has great potential! Being from the Willamette Valley I expected green grass and a warm, clean, professional space. What we were met with was a winding road (not long- but I wouldn’t take a car with low clearance or 2 wheel drive up it!) and a dry field. The firetables were rusting propane fire pits occasionally propped up on rocks. The only water is down at the house at the bottom of the hill. And the wine tasting is open from noon-6, but the host was not there during that time to provide the tasting.
However- The view is beautiful, and the walk through the grape vines was lovely and sweet, and the location is set a part and wonderfully out of the way. If you’re prepared for rustic dry camping it’s a great spot! The stargazing has great potential and if you bring all of your own gear it would be a fun space for a friends camping trip!
All in all there is great potential for this space- just be sure you’re prepared to rough it a bit 😁

Private but no views
We have an RV and only after I reserved camping space did I learn I would be way down the hill from the views mentioned in a small field with long grass and dog poop. There is a compost outhouse but no water or power.

Sweet space!
Super nice spot, a little rough climb to get there but sweet space. Did a little wine tasting and really enjoyed Kiva’s hospitality!

Good spot but some notes
Nice open space, good location for setting out to adventures in the Gorge. Vineyards are a short walk from the campsites and they are lovely! Gorgeous night sky. Tasty eats in nearby towns.
We didn’t get to meet the host but the written instructions provided at entrance covered most of what we needed to know.
The road coming up is a little hairy in some spots. Thick reedy brush in one spot will scrub your undercarriage, and gravel gives way to loose rock on one of the switchbacks. Ascending the hill in a Jetta was tricky but not impossible.
Get your water situation sorted beforehand. The Hipcamp description says there’s potable water available, but we sure couldn’t find any taps!
Certain environmental factors, out of the host’s control: wind and hard earth. You will need thick tent stakes and a mallet, lest your tent blows down.
I love what the host family has achieved with this space so far. It’s a rare opportunity to stay a rustic night in a small scale vineyard. They prioritize low environmental impact, from compost toilets to wildflower preservation. I look forward to staying again in the future.
