Waterfall Sanctuary

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents17 acres · Carson, WA
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.

Crystal Creek Cabin

2 sites · Lodging80 acres · Rhododendron, OR
Sit on the covered porch no matter the weather and enjoy the sounds and scenes of nature! This is the ideal place to come, unwind and just be a part of nature. Your views will be of trees, mountains and creeks. The cabin is far enough away from our home so you will have privacy and seclusion. It is a short but very uphill hike from the parking area. When you arrive, feel free to find your way up to the cabin. You may want to pack light as it is a bit of a hike! Linens and blankets will be provided for the King size bed. The cabin is constructed from local trees we've harvested using our sawmill as well as Redwood and Douglas Fir salvaged from an old water tower deconstructed locally on the mountain. This is the perfect rustic, quiet and private retreat for all seasons. We now have a King size bed in the cabin for up to 2 people. This is a one of kind rustic experience. We provide all of the firewood needed for the cabin. Longer stays at a discounted price for those engaged in creative projects will be considered...please message me.

✨Suzy’s Magic Lil Log Cabin✨✌🏻

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Trout Lake, WA
This is an adorable log cabin on an acre of land surrounded by fir trees. (Some of the pictures in prior reviews are from when I was renting out the smaller cabin- this listing is now for the larger cabin!) 🤗 You feel like you’re waking up in a state park, but you’re just ten minutes from town. Mt Adams and many hiking trails are nearby. If you are a rafter or a kiter, we are very close to the river as well! It will sleep 4 comfortably- please contact me about extra guests. There is a trundle bed with twin mattresses, and a Queen bed. Both have fitted sheets only. Please bring everything else you may need to be comfortable. The cabin is off grid so charge your electronics beforehand and bring a cooler! It’s a great place for a reset : ) Get your feet on the ground and wake up with the birds chirping. NOTE: You have to pack trash in and out. Leave no trace. I do not have trash pick up at the cabin and anything left has the potential to lure wildlife in. Thank you for your understanding!

Cabins in Columbia River Gorge guide

Overview

Just east of Portland, the Columbia River Gorge has long been a popular spot among Portlanders looking for a quick out-of-town hike. Here you'll find miles of trails and lots of waterfalls, including Multnomah Falls—among the most popular natural attractions in Oregon. You'll also find crowds, and you'll actually need to acquire a timed use permit if you plan to visit the "waterfall corridor" (which runs from Bridal Veil Falls to Ainsworth State Park) in summer. Because much of the Columbia River Gorge is protected public land, you won't find a ton of cabins right by the river, but you needn't venture far to find a cozy cabin. Cabins are set at retreat centers on public lands on both the Oregon and Washington sides of the Columbia River, and many cabin, chalet, and cottage options exist just south of the gorge near Mount Hood, some with amenities like queen beds, free wifi, wood stoves, and hot tubs.
