100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

After Matt’s career in lumber wholesaling and Susan’s in environmental activism, getting back to the land has meant planting thousands of trees, thinning and pruning to optimize stand health, and looking through life’s long lens with an awareness that we only care for a parcel a brief while then pass it on. In sharing our love of this place, in welcoming others to walk, play or to sit quietly in the forest, or at river shore, like a rising tide, we’re all lifted. Learn more about this land: A 30 acre riverfront forest with campsite, a fire pit and our welcome to wander alongside Pend Oreille River frontage. All enjoyed in solitude. The 719 acre farm is operated by a community of elders who revere the out-of-doors, believing immersion in nature naturally, quietly teaches. It makes for better humans-being.

Cinnamon Rolls & Solitude

Spent the weekend at Matt and Susan’s campsite with my two boys for our annual father/son camp out and we couldn’t be more pleased. The campsite itself was wonderfully situated in a shady grove of trees with a large tent platform, fire pit, and huge picnic table. Access to the river was just a short 1min walk from the campsite and we thoroughly enjoyed swimming and canoeing. Matt and Susan were gracious and attentive hosts, meeting us when we arrived and showing us to the camp site but otherwise gave us our privacy. They even showed us around the property, the saw mill, and the old barn. And The cinnamon rolls were warm and delicious! Both my boys and I agree that we’ll be back next summer for our next father son camp out!

You want to camp here!

This place is amazing! I almost want to say negative things so that I can keep it to myself. Susan and Matt are great hosts and they have created a wonderful camping space on their property. The river is calm enough in this area for paddleboarding and the amount of wildlife we were able to observe was awesome. Highly recommend!

A slice of PNW camping heaven!

This site is a little bit of heaven! Tucked in the woods with the river on one side and a large flowering meadow on a historic homestead, you feel far away from it all. Susan and Matt, are gracious and thoughtful hosts, and Susan's baked breakfasts are amazing. We enjoyed our time here. One day we just hung out at the docks, catching fish, swimming, canoeing, and just relaxing. Would definitely recommend and hope to come again.

The peace and quiet were wonderful! The baked goods were such a treat! I love that it is a private campsite with no neighbors. The dock was wonderful to sit and read a book. Enjoyed the canoe and even our dog (Buster) went for a swim and a ride!
