Waterfall Sanctuary | Waterfall Sanctuary - A Place for Renewal

Our campground is located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, on seventeen acres of pristine land nestled in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. We offer several tent sites, three R/V or bring-your-own tent sites, a cabin, a really great cafe to get coffee, tea, snacks or just hang out in, and plenty of amenities for you to enjoy as you relax. Enjoy eggs from our on-site farm, or simply take a minute to say hello to the chickens, goats, and ducks. We have several private trails on site, and loads of great outdoors to explore nearby. Let us know if you have any special accomodations needed, or if you have a large group and need help making plans. We look forward to seeing you at Waterfall Sanctuary!

With a broken heart we at Waterfall Sanctuary say goodbye to our little mascot, Luna. She was the sweetest, happiest little goat & we are so blessed to have been able to have her as part of our little farm family for more than 5 years. She will be very missed.

It feels like the internet's response to this is always "well I don't want kids at my local brewery" and I always want to be like "my sibling in Christ, you picked a brewery with a playground and a kids menu"

“Folks say “I don’t like kids,” as casually as they’d say they prefer Pepsi to Coke. When people say things like “kids are okay, but I just don’t want them around me,” we don’t generally question that. I think we should.”

A dark wet Miami night
Breathing in clove laced smoke
Like it's the breath from your lungs
My body tingling like it did from your touch
Trying to get the high back
Envision memories
But they blow away
With the smoke
I sigh out and watch dissipate
In the air

Full bed, twin beds, a daybed + trundle, dining + living space, & that incredible panoramic window view. Whether you're sipping morning coffee or stargazing at night, this is comfort in the wild.
