Happy 2024 Hipcampers! Just some notes- we are currently in a burn ban, so no campfires or charcoal grills, but you can bring your propane cookstoves or use our propane grill at the community cooking area. Check out our newest additions!! - a fully furnished 2-bedroom house that sleeps 6 (Site 8 and the only site with electricity and running water) - A gorgeous geodesic dome that can sleep 6 (Site 3) - A super cute converted blue bus that sleeps 4 (Site 5) - 2 RV/Van/Bus/tent spots, the first one can manage up to 30 feet and the second 40+, both with picnic tables and umbrellas (Sites 9 and 10) Note: If you are looking to book the property for a retreat please go to the business website or contact me directly for answers to all the questions you might have about a kitchen (in site 8), amenities if you don't see them here, special considerations, etc.! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! BEFORE BOOKING: Please read through all of the rules and restrictions- due to inconsiderate guests we have had to update rules and add new ones. Thank you. **IF YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR DOG: PLEASE read ALL the rules for your pet- especially the one about having your dog on a leash AT ALL times while you are on the property. Take note that there is a nightly fee when you bring your dog (MAXIMUM 2 dogs per site), make sure to select it under 'Extras" when you book! More info under the pet rule section. Thank you! Waterfall Sanctuary is a hidden gem at the end of a dead-end road on 17 acres of land, bordered on two sides by the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge just outside of Carson, Washington, Waterfall Sanctuary is home to a mini-farm with goats, ducks, and chickens. Deer and elk walk through the property on a fairly regular basis depending on the season, it's less than a mile walk (or a short drive) to the Wind River and a perfect swimming hole with a rope swing, and another short distance further down the road is the Pacific Crest Trail. A 20-minute drive and you're at the Columbia River, the world destination for kiteboarding and windsurfing. Water equipment can be rented from nearby businesses or you can book a whitewater rafting trip on the White Salmon River. An hour from the property to the West is Portland, Oregon if you are in the mood for some city life, and about 40 minutes to the east is Hood River, Oregon, a gorgeous old town with tons of charm, shopping, breweries, and great restaurants. Drive the Fruit Loop or do a winery tour. The closest town, Stevenson, Washington is also home to adorable shops, great local restaurants, and access to the Columbia River as well. Also in close proximity are multitudes of amazing waterfalls, Panther Creek Falls and Falls Creek Falls being the two closest. National Forest roads are close by and well maintained. No matter the season there is something to do a short distance from the property. Please, keep in mind that the property is very rugged except for the trails we have provided for our guests to be able to access other parts of the property. We keep it that way not only so we can attract the copious amounts of wildlife that are a joy for our guests to experience, but also to be more environmentally and ecosystem friendly. We are also off grid and as sustainable as possible- no electricity or running water is available, although we provide battery or solar operated lighting, and a container of water for each spot that we will happily refill for you during your stay.

Site 7- Forest View Cabin
We had a great time staying on Tyla’s land. She was very accommodating and the cabin was clean and cozy. This a great location to be off the main road but still accessible to everything. We will definitely return to stay again!

Tyla was very welcoming and accommodating! The property was beautiful and clean, and the air smelled heavenly. The animals looked clean and happy 😻 Be prepared to do a spider sweep if you plan to use the bathroom/shower! The portapotty was well maintained. Would stay again!

Site 1- Stargazer Tent
Very cool
The site was clean and well furnished. We definitely needed more bedding so it was good that we brought extra. The bedding provided is a very light cotton bed spread and a light fleece blanket. The bathrooms were very clean and host was friendly and quick to respond.

We had a beautiful stay! the cabin was a perfect place to camp for the weekend, especially with the weather getting cooler. it was clean and it was cozy and i could lay in bed and watch the clouds go by for hours. there’s a trail to explore from the campsite and a picnic table to set up at. the goats were so friendly and the bathrooms were so clean! 10/10 recommend
