Located on the Skookumchuck river on our families 113 acre ranch. This tucked away spot on the very north point of the ranch sits our oasis! Grass fields to camp on! Huge gorgeous trees surround the spot for privacy! Between the secluded spot, the river access and the animals this is about as perfect as it gets!River front property with sprawling fields. Located at the end of a primitive road behind a locked gate that will provide the utmost privacy. Located only 15 min to Centralia outlets for great shopping. Grocery stores and convenient store all within minutes… This place feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere! Fish, swim, float, read, hike, meditate or play loud music and dance under the stars! Shaffer state park is down river and where we float the river to. Deer, Elk and sometimes the farm dogs roam through. Listen to the near by train that rumbles a few times a day and the song birds, ducks and eagles that fly over. There is an In ground fire pit. The terrain is uneven near the river A few chairs and a picnic table on site. This space is a work in progress so come see it now before prices go up in the near future! Note this is on the backside of our working Ranch. All gates must stay closed while exploring and stay out of areas defined as off limits.

Many campers enjoyed the spaciousness and the ability to let dogs roam freely. However, the frequent passing trains proved to be a disturbance for some, though others found it manageable. Despite this, many visitors expressed a desire to return, appreciating the natural beauty and helpfulness of the host.

Beautiful seclusion on the river

24 ft Class B · With pets

We had a great time at this hip camp! The property is beautiful and the camping area is surrounded by trees, with the river bank on side so it feels nice and private. river access with a gravel bar was just a couple minute walk on an easy trail. We loved fishing and playing in the river with the dogs all weekend. Would definitely come back! The host was very nice and gave great directions and quickly addressed any questions I had leading up to the trip about the site.

Very private beautiful place. Short walk to nice little beach. It is very close to the train which was the only downfall. Bring earplugs. Our dog enjoyed a very large open area to explore.

Perfect gathering spot

This was a great secluded spot for our family to gather and have fun! Great river access and my dogs were in heaven. We had space to play yard games and shade to enjoy!

Pretty little spot surrounded by trees made for a nice weekend camping. Trains were less noticeable at night, and didn’t bother us.

This camping spot is ideal for larger groups or folks that want lots of privacy. It was great for my group of queer friends. The trains are quite frequent (every 15-30 min) about two blocks away, loud enough that you have to talk quite loud over them. It didn’t bother me, but some members of our group had a hard time falling/staying asleep.
