Blue Sheep Farm

Nestled in beautiful Mossyrock, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains just off White Pass Scenic Byway in western Washington state, Blue Sheep Farm is less than a mile away from one of the best fishing holes in the state (Swofford Pond), and from Riffe Lake’s heavily-booked Mossyrock Campground. Our 20-acre property features densely-forested mountainside trails, a seasonal creek and pond, with a variety of hardwood and evergreen trees. Surrounded on three sides by Christmas tree farms, our farm is the last bit of wilderness left in the area. Only an hour from Mt. Ranier’s legendary winter sports, with hiking, fishing and festivals all both here and nearby, our farm provides a perfect Base Camp for your any-season getaway!

Your campsite has 15a power and water, and gravel parking, and is located by the beautiful Western style brown barn at the end of Naylor Road (at the "End of County Road" sign). Note that the site has been leveled but is NOT perfectly level; it is however within the typical leveling ability of RVs at the size limits stated. The farm is located on a steep hillside (12% grade); there is only so much we can do. But the stunning views more than make up for any inconvenience, in our experience.

Ovis Aries is the scientific name for “domestic sheep”, and indeed, we raise Romney sheep of all colors on our farm! You may also meet our sweet and friendly Morgan Horse mare, Naya, who likes to follow visitors around like a very large dog. We also have a small orchard with apples, persimmons, cherries, blueberries, and a pear, peach and almond tree beside the barn. We farm using organic, no-till, permaculture, silvopasture and forest grazing practices, and the sheep are entirely grass-fed, producing meat of the healthiest-possible quality. 

If fiber arts is your jam, we have a beautiful wool workshop, with a 40" 4-shaft, 6-harness Louet Hollandia floor loom, a 32" Harp rigid heddle loom, 5 spinning wheels, a drum carder, and numerous other fiber tools for scouring, prepping, spinning, dyeing, weaving, felting and knitting wool. One on one and small group classes are available with reservations. We also have a business center, including fast StarLink Wi-Fi. Farm Tours are given on request.

The Arboretum at Bear Canyon West

This is a gorgeous park-like RV campground situated between the trees of the arboretum. No tents, please. Also we have NO public restrooms. Beautiful view of the mountains and forests here in western Washington. We are close to Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier and several lakes.

There are walking trails all around the site. The 12 acre campground is located on a 136 acre property that is an active Christmas tree farm. Trails continue throughout the tree farm.

Many trails have a view of the Tilton River, which can be reached via a challenging 3/4 mile trail. Sites are on 10 acres planted with many different species of trees that are about 30 years old. Giant Redwoods, Cedars, and Maples are just a few of the varieties present. Part of the farm is still a working Christmas tree farm.

The trails are wide and grassy. The old logging road that we use as a trail to the river has an elevation change of about 500 feet, the trail can be quite challenging. Bear Creek empties into the Tilton river at the end of the trail. 

There is an ART GALLERY where you can learn to pound flowers, see the host's artwork and get a cup of coffee! This is upstairs above the shop, right on the property. Tilton River Studio Gallery. 

Three sites have electrical hookups. Every site has a water spigot (use a pressure regulator if you want to hook up). No restrooms or sewer hookups. Garbage disposal site available Memorial Day to Labor Day.

We look forward to hosting you!

Thank you all who stayed with us in 2023 and 2024, and for those who have returned and are seeing the changes and improvements as we go.
For our new friends.... if you don't like DUST, do not come to the river bottom.  This property is built of river silt, which is extremely dusty when dry.  When it is hot, we cannot water enough to keep it down.  We have planted grass in the sites, which is already growing in some, but these are new sites.....there is DUST!

We are now in the process of changing some of the camping areas to allow for a better camping experience.  We have created some new sites and have changed the capacity of others.  Names may have changed, so be sure to read the descriptions.  The names on the 2023 reviews may be off as well, since we changed some names and moved things around. We are also now have a website: CowlitzRiverRentals.com  It is online with basic info. We will be adding more site information soon.

Within the site listings here on Hipcamp, I will clearly notate if a site is brand new, or if it has a name/location change for 2024 and/or 2025.  

Based on observations and feedback, our Check-Out time for 2025 will be 2:00 pm and Check-In will be 2:30 pm.  You are welcome to come to the property early, and stay on the property until early evening to enjoy the river....there are plenty of places to park before you check-in or after you check-out.  This is only valid for the days that you are booked.  
If nobody is booked in behind you, you can stay in your spot til late afternoon.

We will have a SPIGOT & HOSE with POTABLE WATER available AT THE GATE AREA.  If you are in a camp vehicle, be sure to ask about water BEFORE you drive to your site.  It is long drive back out from the other end of the property.  

There will be plenty of porta potties spread throughout the property.  These are cleaned weekly on Friday.

This year we will have an option to pack out your own garbage or use our dumpster for $10/bag.

Our 2025 season should have 10 Group sites and 10 Individual sites on 70 acres. 
All of our group sites can accommodate a large number of people. 

USE THESE COORDINATES (46.5354948, -121.9697498) to get to the access road at Milepost 114.5 on Hwy 12, just west of Randle, WA. Once arriving there, follow the posted instructions.  DO NOT DROP A PIN OR WAYPOINT FROM WITHIN THE PROPERTY OR AT YOUR SITE!!!  Our access is from Hwy 12 ONLY ....not SR131, not McKay St, not Peters Rd, and not Baugh Rd.

USE and share THE WRITTEN DIRECTIONS in the BOOKING CONFIRMATION.....PLEASE!

Not all sites can accommodate groups. Some sites are not feasible for large trailers or large RV's. Some sites may have plenty of room for a large vehicle, but the drive to that site is rough. Click on a site for more details in the description.

We offer some of the most beautiful scenery in western Washington.  Here you will find the peaceful quiet of being "away from it all", yet in reality you are only a little over a mile from the local grocery store, restaurants, and gas stations along Hwy 12 in Randle.

Randle is a gateway to many other outdoor areas and activities including Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and Mt. St. Helens.  We have a private entry from the highway, so you can feel safe leaving your camp set up while you take day excursions.

We have sites scattered across 70 acres. Your perfect camping site may be found in the fields, in the shade of the trees, by the river, in view of Mt. Adams, or a combination of these.   You can be assured plenty of space for privacy and quiet, even if other campers are in the vicinity.  

We currently host newly developed, private river access, camp areas on the upper Cowlitz River.  Many of the sites may have a lot of dirt rather than grass.  This dirt turns to dust in dry weather and mud after a few days of consistent rain.  We are hoping to have grass growing by spring of 2025.

This has been a cattle grazing pasture for the past 100 years.  It is also flood plain, so we get a fresh covering of river silt almost every year.  This also turns to a fine powdery dust in dry weather.  However, many say that the river access, the surrounding beauty, and the privacy, far outweigh the inconvenience of any dust. 

We also have a very active mole population throughout the property.  This makes it extremely hard to keep sites level and smooth.  We are mowing grassy areas, but many are still rough due to years as pastureland and the work of the moles.  If you are worried about bumpy ground, please bring a cot or some type of air mattress or cushion to put under your sleeping bag.

The property has a TWO MILE perimeter.....there is plenty of room!

For 2025, we will have 20 site locations strategically spread across this large acreage, each with its own "personality" and benefits.  All campers have the ability to access the river at any of the four beaches. One of the most common comments from our campers is that they cannot believe how much space is between campsites.  This year, almost all of the sites have a view of the river.

We make an effort to maintain site privacy and a peaceful atmosphere.  We value being in the outdoors, with the feeling of "getting away", without having the rules, restrictions, and the crowded conditions found in typical campground areas.... we figure you do too.  WE JUST ASK THAT YOU RESPECT OTHER CAMPERS, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING CAMPSITE NOISE LEVELS AT NIGHT.   We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave.

Campers can "float the loop" which consists of launching on the upriver side of the peninsula, floating/kayaking around to the downriver side, getting out and walking across the field to launch again. Paddleboards and small rafts have been used throughout the summer.

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR EACH SITE to find out what type of vehicle it can handle.  We have pictures for many, but we are still working to develop others.

The only Hipcamp site location pinpoint will be for the access road at the highway.  Please look at the picture of our site map to see where your site is located.  We have to do this because people have not been reading the directions given, and our neighbors have given negative feedback about strangers driving into their yards.

New pics will be added as we get them.  Please feel free to ask questions about any site.

Most areas can be accessed with 2wd vehicles, although certain areas may be a little rough for something with low clearance. Some sites are more friendly to larger trailers than others.  Please read the descriptions and ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE UNSURE, especially if you have a larger trailer or RV.

We have four separate riverbars, some with sandy beach areas.  There is plenty of river space for all.  We rent float tubes for $5 each/per day, and Kayaks for $25 per day.

Let us know if you have a special group event.  We are very flexible and can help you create the situation that would suit your group the best. 

Pets are welcome, but be aware that coyotes, bobcat, and cougar have been sited in the valley.  There are also eagles and hawks to be aware of for smaller animals.

Feel free to reach out with questions before booking to make sure all of your needs can be accommodated.  Contact: Hazelanna 360 - 496 - 1903

Things to be considered:  Need for campfire wood, need for water, types of vehicles, your camping goal (group get together or total solitude with peace and quiet), quick easy access to the main road or camping way off the path, best pet areas, best kid friendly areas, ect.

We welcome your questions. Our goal is to help you make great memories!

Reiki Ranch RV Camping

We were teaching Reiki (energy healing classes) by going on the road to hotels and seminars, but we wanted a peaceful place with a country setting to teach these training classes. We found this beautiful place with spring water to drink and lots of forest land behind our 22 acres and we have been here 21 years. We are into natural/alternative healthy living and energy healing. We are good stewards of the land and will be happy to share it with you.

This is the entrance to the Reiki Ranch from the Bunker Creek Road. We are 5 miles out of Adna and Highway 6.

Driving trail parallels Bunker Creek Rd. You drive in your vehicles down this grassy road.

This is where you will park trailers. Freshly cut grass for parking.
