Powder Creek Campground

my boyfriend and 2 pups had missed out on a campsite due to spontaneity; we called 15 locations, some didn’t answer but bev did!! she took my name and number and said she’d call in 10 minutes to ensure they had a place for us to stay. well to our surprise someone had left a day early! she waited for us to get to the ranch at the end of the lane way and proceeded to escort us to our spot! to say this place was not magic would be an understatement. we parked our tent next to the beaver pond and listened to the frogs croak until late in the night. while we weren’t able to get much of a look around the ranch, we did see many wild creatures and left only footprints where we were allowed! thank you to everyone who keeps this ranch up and running and beautiful! highly, highly recommend the powder creek campground, we’ll hopefully be back next year!!

The most beautiful campground we’ve ever been to! Our site was right on the creek with lots of trees for shade. Tons of deer and elk. Good trout fishing off the bridge. The host and owners were such sweet people and we enjoyed chatting with them. We’re already planning to go back this year to take more people who will enjoy it as much as we did!

An absolute gem in the heart of the Wild and Scenic Nestucca River corridor with wildlife on full displace. Herbie a small deer is more friendlier than my own dog. The Brenda, Bev and Dennis are great hosts. Bev is a trooper and 85 yrs young lady with an awesome personality that will leave a smile on your face. Purchased a variety of vacuum sealed pork meats that i am looking to enjoy this Fall. Campground is well maintained and very spacious. We own a 27.4' long Keystone trailer supplied our own fresh water for seven days. Creek is clean and great for filtering fresh drinking water if needed. Great open area for solar panel generator system. We plan on making more arrangements for next years adventures along Nestucca River region.

A cozy getaway immersed in nature. The amazing log cabin combines quaint and modern, offering both communal comfort and privacy. We stayed in the Heritage Sweet off the loft and enjoyed the comfort and beautiful view of the lakes and forest. When we arrived, we were greeted by Lily and Rory (the family dogs) who were both very gentle with my 2-year-old daughter and offered endless entertainment. Brenda is an amazing host and an exquisite cook. She made us a delicious salmon dinner when we arrived in the evening, complete with homemade apple crisp for dessert. In the morning, after filling us up with a lovely breakfast of farm-fresh eggs and home raised sausage casserole accompanied by fresh coffee, juice and fruit, she took us out to see the animals. My daughter was thrilled to feed the deer, chickens, pigs, cows and horses and was even invited to collect eggs in the evening. During the day we explored the property (river, trails and meadow), took a day trip to Pacific City and enjoyed conversing with Brenda and her family. Sunday morning, we woke up to the elk herd on the front lawn. We had another amazing breakfast and deer feeding session before saying our goodbyes. We made sure not to leave without a few dozen fresh eggs and home-made jam from the ranch. We then headed down the road to hike the 1-mile Niagara Fall trail before heading home to Salem. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back, maybe this summer to stay at the campground Brenda is adding down by the river.

Bev and her daughter have done an amazing job with their camping areas. ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Thanks Bev, I truly in joyed talking with you and your ranch. Hope to see you again. Lana and Allan

We stayed at Powder Creek for a night during our road trip in Oregon. And it was definitely the highlight of our trip. My daughter loved it. Brenda and her family were so welcoming and nice. Brenda prepared a delicious food upon our arrival and we all had a great dinner together. The room was so cozy and we loved the fireplace in our room. We will definitely go back. My daughter is already counting days until we go back. We may time it so that we go there after piglets and calves are born... Feeding deers was the highlight of my daughter's stay.
