Woodland Hills Ranch

6 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · Drain, OR

We are located on what used to be one of the stagecoach stops on the Applegate Trail. There is an ancient tree that was if the oral story of the land is accurate, the Trading tree. It was the place where swap meets between the local native tribes would gather and bring their firs, and other goods to trade with the white traders of the time. It's a peaceful place to be, the property backs up to timber property. It feels more isolated than it is. The nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away. Learn more about this land:You can pitch a tent in the middle of 80 acres and feel totally isolated. Wr have a camping area on the front half of the property. Because of storm damage, there's a lot of downed trees and broken limbs further into the land. We are trying to get the land under control but it is slow going. You are welcome to drive up on the dirt road and a quad could be used but there are no riding trails.

11 Mile River Camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Umpqua, OR

Welcome to the river! This beautiful 10 acre property is located on the scenic main Umpqua River. Enjoy excellent, year-round fishing, kayaking, and swimming right from your private and secluded campsite. Our property is located between 2 boat ramps which makes kayak, canoe, or raft floats a breeze. The property features beautiful, mature trees, fun bedrock to explore, and an amazing swimming hole (in the summertime when the river level is low enough). Sit at the river’s edge and enjoy the sounds of the water. Be sure to watch for soaring Eagles, jumping fish, and the occasional mink on the opposite river's edge! There are multiple wineries nearby and lots of hiking trails within a short drive. There is no cell service at the property - please plan ahead and check local burn ban policies before you go. The "owners area" camping spot is a large, graveled, gated area that has trees between the road and parking. There is a port-a-potty for use in the summer months. There is also a fire pit on the lower level overlooking the river, a hidden tree swing, and deck with picnic table. The "site 1" camping spot has a driveway that is hard-packed grass and is not gated. There is a small fire pit on the path by the river. There are areas under the trees both up top near the road and down near the path that are suitable for tents. PLEASE NOTE: This is not a fully manicured campground. There are bushes and grasses that grow year round. We do our best to keep things trimmed and accessible. Sometimes (especially in the spring) things grow more quickly than we can get to them. Please don't expect this to be a perfectly mowed, backyard-type site.

Mill Creekside Camp

1 site · RV, Tent4 acres · Alsea, OR

Come and enjoy this lovely property nestled in the Pacific Coast Range mountains, where Mill Creek meets the Alsea River. This modest farm offers the charm of chickens and goats, flowers, and forest. Just 40 miles from the coast and 40 miles from the I-5, this location is definitely a "get away" destination, but is only 1 mile away from the local general store. Travelers from the coast will enjoy the winding scenic byway highway 34 that follows the Alsea River inland, while folks looking to get out of town will appreciate the hop over Mary's Peak into a forest wonderland. The campsite sits in a meadow at the base of two lovely hills, and features a year round creek guests can access and camp next to. This recently purchased farm is still under ongoing development, so keep coming back to see continuing improvements and this lovely homestead get more whimsically charming and mystically delightful.
