Brian’s site was a perfect, secluded spot to recharge before heading up to Mt. Hood. We enjoyed it!

Brian’s camping spot was beautiful and secluded as expected! Woke up surrounded by a family of deer and it was peaceful having breakfast by the river. The directions were easy to follow too, I had no trouble finding it.

Relax by the river

6 m campervan · With pets

If you're looking for a nice chill spot by a river, this place is perfect. The amenities are limited but the relaxation was unlimited. There are a few different hikes down the road on the Salmon River through an old-growth rainforest. It was fun to walk up and down the river with my pup and soothing to listen to the water while falling into a restful slumber. Would 100% visit again.

Nice location. Quiet area. Beautiful surroundings. So nice to hear the river all night long. Nice place to sit by the water and let the cares of the world evaporate. Thank you!
