This property is owned by Carl and Lores Dauenhauer and was initially operated as a multi-functional farm raising a thousand acres in various crops. In the early 1980's Carl and his children began planting grapes on the property and now the vineyard is the predominate feature for the farm. Most of the vineyard production is sold to wineries located across the state, however the family does retain a small amount of grapes each year for their private wine label "Hauer of the Dauen". You are welcome to stop by the farm for wine tasting on Saturday and Sunday's 12:00-5:00pm. The park and campground area is a recent addition to the farm and had been a vision of Carl's for quite some time. Carl usually goes for a walk through the vineyard in the during sunrise and sunset, weather permitting, and he loves to share his life-story with any campers who want to chat.This is a three acre park located adjacent to the Hauer of the Dauen Vineyard, in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Farms, nurseries and vineyards are abundant in this region which make for spectacular views during long bike rides or a relaxing afternoon of wine tasting. The 80 acres of grapes, adjacent to the park, is a working vineyard and it can be a rather moving experience to watch the sunrise over the rows of 35 year-old vines in the morning, as you hear the native birds and other wildlife begin to chirp and rustle about. Children 12 years and under are free and not subject to an additional charge per campsite. We will rent out the entire park for family reunions, weddings, or other special events. Please submit a booking request for the day of your event and we can adjust pricing to allow for rental of the entire park.

The site was serene and beautiful. Carol met us at the camp and directed us to our options for campsites. We were the sole campers in the property that night, so our experience may be unique. In the evening we walked the perimeter of a beautiful vineyard. The campsite we chose was level and with nicely cut grass. The portable toilet was clean and recently serviced. $60 for a campsite is expensive, but we would consider returning.

This was a beautiful wide open space with a view of their beautiful grape vines. From out spot the sky was huge and the sounds of birds around us was plentiful! Our dog loved being able to chase sticks in the huge field.

Great open area and great communication from hosts. We had a group of 10 and they were very accommodating to us. The grass is very green and fluffy. There were other campers across the way but far enough that you could not hear them. Nice porta potty very clean space.
