So happy to have had the chance to stay at Painter Paradise again! It was a cold, wet weekend, but we had a wonderful time! CJ was amazing about communicating with us and was very helpful! We would absolutely stay here again.

The Gloaming
Beautiful, comfortable, and private
I have been there before, this was my second time. I love this place, such wide open meadows to look at and its typically perfect for star gazing. C J is a fantastic host, makes sure you have no problem and lets you have your privacy. You have a good restroom, drinking water and good privacy. All that I look for in a ca pung spot! Would recommend it to anyone.

Rainier
A definite must!
Painter’s Paradise is one of the most gorgeous pieces of land we have camped on! Not only are there spectacular views wherever you look but the stars at night are breathtaking!!
It rained one of the days we were there but CJ has a wood burning stove in her painting studio barn with cozy chairs and tables so we bought some firewood and had a roaring fire and kept nice and toasty while we admired her STUNNING paintings!!
There is an adorable little building that has a flushing toilet, vanity, and sink that was very convenient and is centrally located. We will absolutely be back and can’t wait to see how this property develops.
Definite recommendation for some soul healing and battery recharge!

The Gloaming
Perfect place
Peaceful, clean, quiet, beautiful. Great place to pitch our tents overlooking a gorgeous hay field. and watch hay being baled and picked up. Pretty sunset; heard crickets, frogs, coyotes, owls. Saw the clear night sky, and
a shooting star with a giant tail. Gorgeous sunrise over valley fog with a crescent moon. Cj's friend noticed my bike's battery was dead when we were trying to push start it. He brought his truck and cables over and got us going! Thank you. I will return.

Rainier
This was our second time staying at CJ’s and we loved it as much as the first time! The view is incredible and we loved the wide open spaces for our kids to run wild. The location is perfect for visiting Mt Rainier and Windy Ridge at Mt St Helen’s. We will definitely be back! We look forward to CJ getting showers installed on the property so we can plan a long stay sometime!
