This property was once part of a 200 acre cattle ranch turned into a Christian community. The families shared meals, home-schooled their children and had a home-based church. They raised their own food in a 3 acre garden and orchard along with chickens and cows for milk, meet and eggs. Two of the original families still own some of the acres although the community was dissolved and much of the property sold to other people. Learn more about this land: We love sharing our beautiful land with those that love nature. The sunsets, the peace and the birdsong are the best. Pets are welcome and you can walk through the forest with them on dirt pathways or keep them in your campsite. Please keep pets out of our area, as our dog is very protective and has been known to have scuffles with other animals approaching. Grassy areas are available to set up tents or have picnics. There are firepits for when the burn ban is not on (a wheelbarrow full of wood for $5). The campsites are large and spaced quite far from each other. Please stay on gravel roadways with all motor vehicles. There are two outhouses for tents campers. There is one non-potable water spigot by the log outhouse. There is no electricity on the property. For your own safety and peace of mind, please keep all food in bear safe containers or locked in your cars. If you forget anything, the Washougal River Mercantile is two miles away where you can buy gas and groceries. Local hiking trails on the Columbia Gorge: Cape Horn Trail just 3 miles from our property and Beacon Rock/Hamilton Mountain trail is a 15 minute drive. We can give you directions to our favorite swimming hole for cooling down on hot summer days in the Washougal river. (Discovery Pass required at the river) parking spot. Buy those at the Mercantile as well)

Perfect for families!

Rhoda’s land was beautiful! Our kiddos enjoyed exploring the woods/trails. Perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. Sites are private and clean.

Site 1 Sunset View

Nice spots to camp clean toilets. Driveway a little steep. No cell signal on Verizon. But nice area.

Site #3 Hidden Meadow

Rhoda's land is very nice, it's secluded but easy to find and conveniently located about midway between the mercantile and Naked Falls. Our site was spacious and had established trails through the woods on her property - which was very fun for the kids to run off and explore. There is a very nice compost outhouse and we got enough reception to send and receive texts (but not much else). Would love to stay again. Highly recommend!
