This is a remote property that has lots of "nature stuff" including the presence of poison oak and ticks. Even the occasional rattlesnake has been found.
The immediate area of the campsites is treated for poison oak, but there is a lot of it on the property once you are away from the river's edge.
Pets are likely to encounter it.
The ticks tend to have a couple seasons when they are more plentiful, typically the Spring and early Fall. Although we didn't see any in August and early September, they could be present any time.
Currently no access for larger RVs.
Truck campers and camper vans can be accommodated.
If you have any kind of RV, check with us before booking.
Cow Creek is a class 1 stream and a tributary to the South Umpqua River.
There is a dam at the headwaters of Cow creek which assures a consistent year-round flow of clean fresh water.
Steelhead and wild salmon runs have increased dramatically since the dam was built in about 1992.
The swimming is excellent, as the topography and lay of the land create a perfect private swimming hole.
The property encompasses both sides of the river for 3/4 of a mile.
Some of the land is steep and heavily forested.
There are a number of flatter meadows on benches as the property comprises a portion of the northern slope of Iron Mountain.

Creekside camping beside the looong swimming hole on our 140 acre forest land. Located 11 miles from the Riddle Oregon exit on I-5, the Swimming, fishing, bird watching, hiking and stargazing are all fantastic. There is no electric power at all on the property. No cell service. THE TRAIN: You are almost certain to be woken in the wee hours of the morning during the work week of Monday thru Friday (approx. 5:00 a.m.) by the VERY LOUD and SCREECHING train on the other side of the creek. If you'll be okay with that, riverside paradise awaits! Saturday and Sunday mornings, however, have been train-free.

We drink the water that comes from the spring up the mountain, but it is untreated and is open to the elements at its source so we offer no guarantees and encourage you to treat it or bring your drinking water.
