Don’t tell anyone about this place! Let’s keep it a secret! LOL! We loved our time at Squirrel Rock RV. Gwen was super helpful and we could not have designed a better spot. The four of us (2 rigs) had it all to ourselves, our own private RV park! Go out of your way if you have to but don’t miss this gem!

We loved our stay at Squirrel Rock campground!! The owner has created a serene and comfortable spot to camp. We enjoyed exploring the area and especially taking our granddaughter to Columbia State Park. You can walk to restaurants and a small convenience store if you choose but you still feel like you are camping away from the town. Beautiful sunset views and the stars at night were amazing! A very relaxing experience. We plan to stay here again.!

Best hidden gem

We absolutely love this little gem. It is a little snug with our trailer but completely doable. It is always so clean, and we love that the deer and wildlife just walk through camp. It is close to places to eat, and little adventures and even central to come great wine tasting and pour houses. We will be making this a regular on our camping trip locations.
