Welcome to the Bamboo Forest at Parker Learning Gardens! We are a nonprofit educational 33-acre farm located 10 miles north of Eugene, Oregon, right between the small towns of Coburg and Harrisburg. Our campsites are located at our 3+ acre Bamboo Forest, with covered platforms located alongside and underneath the canopy of our whimsical corridor of huge Linden Trees. The campsites have access to a wood-fired earthen cob oven, an outdoor kitchen sink, and a covered eating/cooking space. There are over 40 varieties of bamboo in our densely-packed 35-year-old Bamboo Forest. You are welcome to explore this unique forest by navigating through our meandering trail system. Elsewhere on the farm we have over 500 fruit trees, many farm animals, and 12 demonstration gardens. We offer seasonal educational programming from Spring-Fall, with various community classes, workshops and field trips for schools. The mission of Parker Learning Gardens involves immersing people of all ages in nature while demonstrating how to: grow food organically, tend to the land from an ecological perspective, incorporate animals in a regenerative way, and be conscious environmental stewards. If you are interested, there may be an option for a private educational tour for an additional fee (dependent on timing and availability). Otherwise, your stay will be private with open access to the trail system of our Bamboo Forest and huge Linden Tree Grove (approximately 5 acres of of beautiful wondering space to explore and unwind). We are about 5 miles from the I-5 exit in Coburg. The farm is located in the old floodplain of the Willamette River, with close access to places to swim just a short car drive away. There are amazing hikes within 30 minutes, and many family and youth activities/opportunities nearby (check the Eugene weekly event calendar).

Nate's land is a unique setting next to tremendous bamboo groves. The hip camp is thoughtfully set up for folks using natural materials found on the land (i.e... bamboo and repurposed wood). I appreciate the earthiness and sustainability of the setting. I was honored by a muskrat upon arrival. First time ever for me! Lots of birds to enjoy for those birders among us.

Unique and fun place to camp! A little creaky at night but cozy with a fire. The tent shelter was really useful with some surprise rain.

I RECOMMEND! ( I clicked mixed feelings not realizing it was considered a low rating, I am sorry) This place was great! A little dusty but it’s outside. The sink was a plus! We only stayed over night on a road trip to WA. My only (personal) issue was the spiders in the outhouse. There were a little too many for my comfort and they were big and close because the outhouse is so small. The partition wall was a little small too if someone else had been staying there but we had the whole place to ourselves for our stay.

Convenient Camping.
The spot was convenient in many ways - close to two towns, lots of seating, table provided, water, plenty of parking. But the site still felt very much private and secluded in nature.
