Welcome 2025 Hipcampers! We have so many exciting changes for our guests this year! We are in the process of putting in a wood fired sauna, opening a store/café, and so much more! See the new sites we have added: - A gorgeous geodesic dome that can sleep 6 - A super cute converted blue bus that sleeps 4 - 2 RV/Van/Bus/tent spots, the first can manage up to 30 feet & the second 40+, both with picnic tables & umbrellas *To book the whole property for an event or retreat please go to the website (www.waterfallsanctuary.com) to inquire about availability and options. Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you! BEFORE BOOKING: Please read all rules & restrictions- due to some guests we had to update & add new ones. **DOGS: PLEASE read ALL the rules- especially about having your dog on a leash AT ALL times while on the property. There is a nightly fee when you bring your dog (MAXIMUM 2 dogs per site), make sure to select it under 'Extras" when you book! More info under the pet rule section. Thank you! Waterfall Sanctuary is a hidden gem on 17 acres, bordered on two sides by the Gifford Pinchot N F. In the heart of the Columbia River Gorge just outside Carson, Washington, it is home to a mini-farm with goats, ducks, & chickens. Deer & elk walk through the property on a fairly regular basis depending on the season, it's less than a mile walk (or short drive) to the Wind River & a swimming hole, & a short distance further is the Pacific Crest Trail. A 20-minute drive & you're at the Columbia River. An hour to the West is Portland if you are in the mood for some city life, & 35 minutes east is Hood River, a gorgeous old town with tons of charm. The closest town, Stevenson, Washington is home to shops, local restaurants, & access to the Columbia River. Also in close proximity are amazing waterfalls, trails, & National Forest roads that are close by & well maintained. No matter the season there is something to do a short distance from the property. Keep in mind that the property is very rugged except for the trails we have provided to access other parts of the property. We are as off grid & sustainable as possible- while no electricity or running water is available, we provide battery or solar operated lighting, & a container of water for each site.

Site 6- Forest View Cabin

We had a great time staying on Tyla’s land. She was very accommodating and the cabin was clean and cozy. This a great location to be off the main road but still accessible to everything. We will definitely return to stay again!

Site 8- Quiet Wooded Campsite #2

Tyla was very welcoming and accommodating! The property was beautiful and clean, and the air smelled heavenly. The animals looked clean and happy 😻 Be prepared to do a spider sweep if you plan to use the bathroom/shower! The portapotty was well maintained. Would stay again!

Site 1- Stargazer Tent

Very cool

The site was clean and well furnished. We definitely needed more bedding so it was good that we brought extra. The bedding provided is a very light cotton bed spread and a light fleece blanket. The bathrooms were very clean and host was friendly and quick to respond.

Site 6- Forest View Cabin

beautiful!!

We had a beautiful stay! the cabin was a perfect place to camp for the weekend, especially with the weather getting cooler. it was clean and it was cozy and i could lay in bed and watch the clouds go by for hours. there’s a trail to explore from the campsite and a picnic table to set up at. the goats were so friendly and the bathrooms were so clean! 10/10 recommend
