Overall this is a nice dispersed campsite, but make sure you are prepared for the road and I wasn't impressed by the toilet. As others have mentioned, I recommend having a 4wd vehicle with good clearance to get to the campsite. I got a rock caught in my wheel well on the way up, but was able to pull it out. My main issue with the site was that the composting toilet was like 95% full to the top of the bucket, which came up to right below the seat. Other than that, we had a great view of the sunset with some chickens clucking nearby and we caught a glimpse of some piglets in the morning.

Camping was quiet and peaceful, despite having a few other campers there. Was fun to have the turkey join our morning tea :).

The good: Great hosts and a beautiful campsite on the hill. Just what we were looking for. Seclusion. Lots of farm animals and wildlife roaming the area. Had the please of dining with a turkey and breakfast with a family of pigs. We ordered the breakfast from the host and it was excellent. All organic and from their farm.
The bad: The road up is not for the faint of heart. Hairpin tun with obstacles and a steep rocky incline.

It was a great spot to camp! Though the dirt road is a little hard to find. Turn into driveway with the tasting room and and keep going back, past the house, to find it.

Gorgeous views with beautiful sunset and sunrise. It was a very peaceful spot. The road to get to campsite was rough and would not recommend for low clearance vehicles. We had more guests visit our campsite than expected during our stay like a turkey, sheep, pigs, and goats so keep in mind for pets.

Nice level and private spot. We bought a bottle of Pinot Noir from them and it was super tasty.

Kiva is super friendly, we had a beautiful, peaceful night listening to coyotes, turkeys, and owls, and in the morning the baa of sheep down the hill.

Thank you Kiva for another wonderful stay on your beautiful property. I love the wide open spaces, leisurely walks up in the vineyard, and the privacy. I will be back!

This was a beautiful area with a beautiful view! We saw so many star, listened to owls and crickets, and enjoyed the private space. The entrance is a little hard to find, but once you go far enough into the space, the directions are great. Definitely want to have 4wd or be confident in rocky inclines to get over the hump to the top. But we definitely want to come back!

Overall had a good time. Great views and we had the place to ourselves. Brought the dogs and they got a ton of burrs, which is something to be aware of, and it was a bit of adventure getting to the site. Good site and will likely come back though.

Overall we found a nice site and had a pleasant camping experience! Clean grounds with plenty of space and a pretty, serene atmosphere. However, questioned the “winery” aspect of this property.. did also not find the welcome sheet that was to be expected upon arrival. Definitely a steep/rocky drive up to the dispersed camp sites.

We camped here for a mid-week night in July and had the entire camping area and surrounding hillsides to ourselves. We walked to the top of the property at sunset and had a beautiful view over the vineyards and across the valley to Mt. Hood. Watch out for the burrs and stick to the paths.

The directions to the site were clear. The property was beautiful with peek-a-boo views of Mt. Hood. Our night there was serene and very enjoyable.

It was very tricky to find the location of this Hipcamp. There was no signage or exact address given so we drove past the entrance a few times before we decided to give one a try. The drive in was a pretty tight fit through the host’s yard area which just felt junky and cluttered, and then a tight bumpy road up to the sites. However, once we got there, it was pretty spacious and well-kept enough that we decided we’d stay because we could still have privacy and had no trouble finding the bathrooms. Not super level, but once you go up the hill towards the actual vineyard, there is a beautiful view of mt. Hood. So overall, it was still worth it for the one night, we just would have preferred a more easily accessible entrance. The host communicated with me on the way there, but we lost service eventually which made it hard to know where to go.

Nice spot, quiet and scenic. Beautiful drive back down to the highway. Chickens and sheep were roaming around the property. I am glad that I chose this property.

Beautiful spot —rustic with a road that needs some work or at least an appropriate vehicle to climb. We did take our truck and small trailer up..so we were fine, but prepare for tight turns and engage your 4 wheel drive.

This site has great potential! Being from the Willamette Valley I expected green grass and a warm, clean, professional space. What we were met with was a winding road (not long- but I wouldn’t take a car with low clearance or 2 wheel drive up it!) and a dry field. The firetables were rusting propane fire pits occasionally propped up on rocks. The only water is down at the house at the bottom of the hill. And the wine tasting is open from noon-6, but the host was not there during that time to provide the tasting.
However- The view is beautiful, and the walk through the grape vines was lovely and sweet, and the location is set a part and wonderfully out of the way. If you’re prepared for rustic dry camping it’s a great spot! The stargazing has great potential and if you bring all of your own gear it would be a fun space for a friends camping trip!
All in all there is great potential for this space- just be sure you’re prepared to rough it a bit 😁

We have an RV and only after I reserved camping space did I learn I would be way down the hill from the views mentioned in a small field with long grass and dog poop. There is a compost outhouse but no water or power.

Super nice spot, a little rough climb to get there but sweet space. Did a little wine tasting and really enjoyed Kiva’s hospitality!

Nice open space, good location for setting out to adventures in the Gorge. Vineyards are a short walk from the campsites and they are lovely! Gorgeous night sky. Tasty eats in nearby towns.
We didn’t get to meet the host but the written instructions provided at entrance covered most of what we needed to know.
The road coming up is a little hairy in some spots. Thick reedy brush in one spot will scrub your undercarriage, and gravel gives way to loose rock on one of the switchbacks. Ascending the hill in a Jetta was tricky but not impossible.
Get your water situation sorted beforehand. The Hipcamp description says there’s potable water available, but we sure couldn’t find any taps!
Certain environmental factors, out of the host’s control: wind and hard earth. You will need thick tent stakes and a mallet, lest your tent blows down.
I love what the host family has achieved with this space so far. It’s a rare opportunity to stay a rustic night in a small scale vineyard. They prioritize low environmental impact, from compost toilets to wildflower preservation. I look forward to staying again in the future.

The campsites were marked and fairly obvious, it served its function. But paying $35 to stay in a tent in a field of dead grass felt like a scam given that none of their advertising photos show the space in the dry season. There's no place for kids to play with all the long dry weeds and I never got any messages from the host.

Overall convenient for wine tasting and checking out Lyle (not much to do), Bingen (SO CUTE, recommend), and Hood River (rad of course).
No water really, luckily we brought our own. Only a few of the sites are flat enough to be comfortable.

Went home instead of staying here
This place was terrible. We were going to stay here on our way back from a weekend trip, but opted to just drive the couple more hours home instead.
When we arrived, we were greeted we were kind of in the way or an annoyance, which was weird but we dismissed it.
When we were headed to the site, we had to drive truly within inches of a goat that was chained up alone right next to the road and clearly distressed. It was messed up.
We’d picked a campsite when we booked, but the sheet they gave us said they were flexible about sites. None were marked and there was no map, so we had to drive around looking for one with the “fireplace” and propane tank that we’d paid for. We eventually found one that had a little stove balanced on some wood with a tank, 2 rusted out chairs, and a sign to look out for poison oak.
We decided to just head out. I’ve shad great experiences at other hipcamps but the vibe at this one was seriously the opposite of what I expected based on how it’s presented in this listing.

Camping in the open pine field was awesome! Kiva is doing cool work with ecological restoration of the land. Views of Mt. Hood were spectacular! Seeing the wild turkeys every morning and evening was the cherry on top. The only thing I'd advise on is the road to get up to the campsite - not great at all for a low clearance (w/o AWD or 4WD) car
