What a place!
What an amazing experience! All of the amenities are there, water, bathroom, great fire pit and plenty of places to set up a tent. We packed way too much stuff so we re-packed and only trekked up what was needed. We’ve already got another stay on the books!

The camping site is beautiful and so nice. The toilet is so cute and well kept. You can even turn on the string light that is laid out beautifully. It was a bit of hike up to the site but I would visit again for sure!

Camping in Forest Park
Forest Park is a great place for hikes. Camping at Moriah's land provided a different experience in Forest Park. Surrounded by tall trees that gently sway, I spent the evening cooking food and setting up my tent and treating myself to some authentic camping experience.
I appreciate the many small amenities that made my first camping experience easier and palatable, Notable ones are the iron girdle on the camp fire site, hammock, string lights and the well maintained pit toilet with small toiletries like lemon oil. I also dig the quaint setting with porcelain figurines artistically placed around the camp. They kept me company in the night.
Note to future campers, don't discount the steep hike to campsite. It was tough to traverse during both loading and unloading supplies. Be prepared and you will have a wonderful stay.

30th bday w/ a fullcourse dinner
I love how magical this place felt.
I booked the site to celebrate my birthday where I wanted to camp and cook a full-course dinner for friends. The site provided just the most amazing scene when golden hour hit, the sunset beamed through the trees and eventually turned pinkish orange with clouds in between, and stringed lights illuminated the site. The trek up is steep, but very do-able and short. I brought a LOTT of stuff and to my surprise, it worked out just fine.
Bathroom was clean and quite nice for my friends, water from taking the snail trail was rather easy and accessible, my dog was able to roam freely on the campsite with no worries, and the provided picnic table, bench, and grill for the campfire was extremely helpful, the ground showed no problems for pitching a tent, and then there's the little cute decor placed around the site. We had no issues parking or finding the place with the descriptive instructions. Moriah was also soooo sooo great at communicating that you'll have no issues. Would definitely recommend this site.

Lovely stay
We enjoyed our stay at this adorable campsite! We felt very safe even though it is so close to town! These hosts have done an amazing job, it truly felt like a fairytale and was very clean and well kept. The steep trail is so worth it once you’re up there. We really appreciated the speedy communication from the host!

Nice secluded setting so close to Portland. Thanks for the nice quiet place to crash for the night!
