Learn more about this land: Our 40-acre campground is adjacent to our main sustainability research center. It is completely isolated from the world at large. Our forest is located in a transitional zone where you'll see Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine growing side by side among century-old oak trees.  From here you can tube the wild Klickitat, hike the alpine slopes of Mt.

We enjoyed two quiet days camping at this peaceful spot and would return. We had the benefit of being the only ones camping there-- the experience might have been different if other people were camping there at the same time as there was only one picnic table. Our host, Walt, welcomed us and gave us interesting background on the intentional community at the site. The natural burial cemetery adjacent to the camping area was inspiring to see-- a lot of effort has gone into setting this up. We enjoyed hiking on the Klickatat Trail, which is < 10 minutes away.

Reccomend!
Walt was excellent, calling us in advance of our arrival to give more detailed navigation instructions. He met us on the road to take us onto his property. The Windward Forest was beautiful and a great quiet place to camp. There was a giant fire pit which we enjoyed using and he provided firewood!

Camping at Windward Forest brings such peace and joy! This was our second time there and far from our last! Walt's generosity overflows and it's hard to not feel welcome. We'll be back soon!

My partner and I really enjoyed our weekend getaway at the Windward Co-op! Walt communicated very well with us and provided very clear instructions. The land is beautiful and you will have plenty to explore! This campground offers tranquil isolation, yet also has enough amenities that make a weekend camping trip fun for beginners and experts alike! I will definitely be camping here again as long as Walt will have us back!
