Camp in the Forest Retreat
This is a great overnight stop for road trips. I wouldn’t recommend as a destination camp spot, as there were dogs barking throughout the night & anytime we walked around. Neighbors are close. It is remote but not private. There is no reception, so you can’t reach the host with questions. There was no signage as to where the restroom was & we never found it. We did appreciate having a woodsy spot to spend one night. Recommend arriving during daylight so you can find it more easily & possibly meet host/find restrooms.

June the host and her husband were very accommodating and super friendly. Their land is right next to a river and there was plenty of space for my tiny group of friends. There was a rule about no loud noises, which I completely respect. We did have a tiny speaker and were up pretty late around 11pm but there's enough space between the camp and the hosts home that none of us were bothered. Since we were the only campers during our stay she let us know it was okay if we didn't check out exactly at check out time, it felt nice not to be rushed out of the space. There were chairs, tables, an axe and a weber bbq she let us borrow. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Amazing peaceful retreat loved how quiet it is at night you can hear the nearby river. 10/10 would stay here again. Their flock dog was really cute and sat a distance away from me and just watched me set up. Honestly very well behaved. The area had some beautiful places to see and hike.

Camp in the Forest Retreat
Perfect for an overnight spot, but a fair distance for anything to see or do. June was very nice and accommodating. There was plenty of flat space in which to park a van or RV. And, being off season, we had the whole place to ourselves.

I would absolutely camp here again! We had no problem getting into a spot and it was super quiet and beautiful. Our host was excellent at communicating as well which was important as we were coming in late and in the dark. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the surrounding area but it was just a quick overnight for us!

We finally got to spend another weekend at June’s.
Still the perfect spot for us.
June was pleasant as usual and helpful with directions and suggestions on where to go hiking.
We’ll be back next year 😉

The setting was beautiful, tall trees, lots of cover and privacy. Easy to get to but felt remote in a pleasing way.

Camp in the Forest Retreat
My friends and I had a great time here. The campgrounds were a pretty good distance away from each other so there was a lot of privacy. The owners were also very nice and came by to say hello and let us know about some stuff to do around the area. Plus the price is very reasonable. The “bathroom” is kinda funky it’s a tent with a bucket. So be mindful of that. I would visit again! :)

Friendly hosts. Good communication. Nice basic site in the shade. About a 1/4 mile to river access next to the Row River Road bridge.

Nice place to drive through trailer camp. (34 foot trailer + F150). Cannot see anyone, it can hear voices (toddlers), dogs and farm animals. You will need to drive to access water, but did feel safe and dogs could run free. Host was nice and stopped by once to say “hello” and check in.

Our smaller group loved camping at June’s property. We brought 2 smaller trailers and 2 tents. If you rent all the sites, it can accommodate a large group as well. Lots of space, shaded with large trees.
June was quick to respond to texts and she came down and showed us the property when we arrived.
We will absolutely camp there again.

June was very welcoming for our 2 night stay, there was lots of space for us to set up our tents and tables and our cars. We enjoyed hanging out at lots of different places nearby with river access and fun rocks to jump off of. We also used some fresh blackberries for pancakes which were delicious. Overall a great experience, the compost toilet worked well and we all had a wonderful camping trip!

June was really responsive and helpful. Close to river and neighbors but really quiet. I appreciated her follow up answering questions…

I appreciated the beauty of the spot and initially it felt very serene and peaceful.
Unfortunately you’re very close to the main road which is loud as well as a group of neighbors that have absolutely no problem playing music at the highest volume throughout the entire day and evening. It was a holiday weekend so maybe not like this all the time.
They did not take request by the way. They did turn off the music around 10 or 11 PM. Music was played throughout the entire weekend. I love music. Though if you’re not able to have any choice in the type of music it can make you crazy.
On the other hand I was exposed to some music I never ever imagined existed. In addition to very old very bad glam rock.
Also the composting toilet is nothing more than a bucket with no seat. So bring your own portable lug a loo. I feel like if there had been more than one group campsite there the bucket would not be sufficient.
When trying to find a place to go to the bathroom outside of the composting toilet there aren’t very many places that aren’t in full view of the driveway coming in. Gives a whole new meaning to the feeling exposed.
The hard part is that you can’t choose your neighbors. I personally didn’t feel comfortable going over and asking them to turn the music down so I doubt anybody else does.

The camp area had nice wide pull through areas for a self-contained motor home, but for tenting it was not as ideal. Quiet & Private: Neighbors were pretty close by (but there were hedges as mentioned). Forest Retreat: Not far off the main road that had traffic throughout the night. Toilet: A tent & a bucket? Not a port-a-potty. Nice location though and close to the river (but much along the river was private property though). June was super helpful and interested. 5 stars in that department.

June was friendly & quick to respond, though she said she was out of town when we were there so we didn’t get to meet her. This location is just a 15 min walk down the street to the most beautiful waterfalls, Wildwood Falls. We spent some time there one of the days and we spent the other day at Dorena Lake as there is no creek, river access from her property and it was 80 degrees and my kids wanted to splash around. Which is about a 15 min drive. The camp spot is really just her driveway but surrounded by big trees and semiprivate behind some blackberry overgrowth. I got a lot of blackberry bush cuts on my legs and so would not recommend small kids or dogs at this location because they are popping up everywhere along that area. I snipped back a few by our camp so we could walk a little easier. The neighborhood leading up to this spot is a bit rundown and I almost left because I felt unsafe but the other hip camper there was so nice and safe so I felt safer w her there so we decided to suck it up. There’s no cell service anywhere near there. It smelled soooo nice there from the trees and grass and spring & we saw lots of shooting stars. Overpriced compared to other hip camps that have amenities & at least space to sprawl or explore on the property.. This has none.

Forest retreat was nice. Mountainside wiew with large spots to camp divided by trees and blackberry bushes. Its in a neiborhood so there were some normal sounds like motorcycles and a few dogs. Lots of quiet time at this retreat. But sad that a burn ban started so early there at this time.
