!! Rooster Blackspur Friends! Message us for details. !! ** As of May 30th, 2024, new booking requests for 4D will not be accepted for this camping season. ** Come relax and enjoy the amazing energy at Four Directions Retreat. We offer beautiful and shaded campsites and a tiny cabin that will be sure to please. We also have an amazing outdoor stage nestled at the bottom of a natural amphitheater that is perfect for a variety of entertaining needs. When not playing corn hole, disc golf or other yard games, our friendly little goats are known for putting on a show of their own just to get loves and scratches from our guests. Our beautiful property features a healthy 45+ year old Douglas Fir forest and a spacious meadow which is stunning in the spring with wild grasses and beautiful flowers. During the summer, you can take a break from the heat and relax amongst the huge ferns, Fir, Alder and Cedar trees and enjoy a variety of delicious berries found all over the property. You may also want to stretch your legs and take a leisurely walk along some of the old logging roads or give yourself a push along a forested hiking trail. Using mostly reclaimed materials, we built a stage great for entertainment (concerts, weddings, movie nights, etc... ), an outdoor event kitchen, and most importantly - the three composting outhouses strategically located to best accommodate our guest's basic needs. We also have a gorgeous Bathhouse available for a nominal fee to recoup the costs of waste disposal. Check out our 4D Full Property Booking if you are planning an event and would like a private place to host your celebration, gathering, or concert. Caterers love the outdoor event kitchen! We are happy to answer your questions and share our experiences with large events to help with your decision making process. The 4D Tiny Cabin includes a large space with a basic camp kitchen, fire pit, picnic table and space for a few tents (depending on size) for additional family or friends. We have 12 traditional camp sites that include picnic tables and fire pits that are spaced well apart to provide more privacy than you would ever get at a standard county, state or federal campground. Important to know: 1) A handful of the camp sites can accommodate up to 24 foot in length RV's and trailers pulled by a 4x4, camper vans, or trucks with campers. 2) Please reach out to us if you have additional questions about which sites would be best and why we insist on having a 4x4 pulling a trailer. 3) Also, overloaded minivans also have difficulties making it up the hill, but we can help. If that isn't enough, we are located close to many areas of interest. If you like disc golf, Trojan Park is only 8 minutes away. You can also jump in the water at a several County Parks along the mighty Columbia River which are about 10 minutes away. You can also take a dip in the picturesque Beaver Falls, a stunning 20-minute drive through the country followed by a short hike. If adventure "on the water" is more your thing, then you can always take a kayak around Scappoose Bay which is a 30-minute drive from 4D. Lastly, historic Astoria, Oregon and the Pacific Ocean is only one hour away. You can find out more interesting things about Four Directions Retreat on Facebook and TikTok.

The land is so beautiful! When you look up "forest bathing" in the dictionary, you should see a photo of the forest on this property! Nicole and Kris have really made this place a sweet respite.

Beautiful Property, Great Sites!

We can’t say enough good things about our weekend at Four Directions Retreat! The property is gorgeous and the campsites are well maintained. Kris came by shortly after we arrived and quickly realized our site was a little small for our family and immediately offered a bigger site to us that was just a few steps down the road. We took her up on it and loved it! We enjoyed a hike to Beaver Falls (recommend!) the next day as well as some time at Trojan Park. That evening, we got rain that was heavier than expected. Kris came to check on us and offered help to make sure we’d survive the night comfortable and dry. Truly, we can’t say enough just how friendly and kind Kris was. You can tell she really cares about her property and wants her guests to enjoy their stay.

4D Tiny Cabin

An enchanting location.

We had a lovely time, even in the rain. The tiny cabin was more lovely than we expected. So sad this is your last season. We all had such a great time.
