We have a 1/2 acre property on the Cowlitz River in the middle of Cooks Ferry Park in Castle Rock WA. We bought the property to relax in a beautiful setting close to home. We only live 15 minutes away. The property is made up of dredge spoils from when Mt. Saint Helens blew and is inside of a park where people can go to fish and enjoy the river. There are only 8 lots privately owned and we are the first lot that you come to. There is plenty of room for an RV. Guests can also tent camp or stay in our shack that has a sleeper sofa. There are snacks, a sign in book, an axe, briquets, a fire extinguisher, and other items the shack. There is a picnic table, fire pit, BBQ, and wood stove. There is a porta potty on the property. We keep our travel trailer there to enjoy when we can. We will try our best to not be there when you are staying at the property but if you book less than 1 week in advance, we may be there. In summer, we may be kayaking. We put in upriver and get out at the property. If that is a problem, please message me before you book. If you continue going past our property, there are some nice rock beaches with pretty views. People fish there and wade in the water in the summer. Castle Rock is a cute little town with some nice shops, restaurants and bars. I recommend checking it out! We are not picky about check in/check out time. It would only matter if someone else was checking in the day you are checking out. Please ask if you expect to arrive earlier or want to check out later.

Relaxing River Magic!

16 ft car

This place was a little slice of magic! It was super relaxing with the slow trickle of the big river. It has everything you need! We did car camping and it was perfect. Honey bucket bathroom in great condition. Outdoor fire pit. Platform to do morning yoga on, etc. Super private and was a perfect sanctuary for us on our road trip!

Great Place!

Super great stop, especially if you’re headed south on I5. Great host, great location, and felt safe and secure all night. Being right along the river was a bonus.

The place is well thought out and probably great in warmer, dryer weather. I just had a one night stay and it was cold and rainy, and on a Monday so most things were closed in town. I got some good Mexican food and came back to the camp hoping for a fire in the stove. The container shack is a good option, unfortunately the fire wood was way too damp and I couldn't take advantage to watch the sunset on the river from that spot. I think I got unlucky on this visit.

It was lovely. Exactly as described. I'd buy this property in a second....what a beautiful piece of land. I would be happy to come back.
