Hey there! I'm a single dad with 2 teen-kids, medical professional, who enjoys country living and sharing it with others. I've lived in far-Northern CA and Southern Oregon my whole life, except for school/training, so State of Jefferson is my home. We bought this land in 2017, when it was just brush, poison oak, and a rotten bridge. Learn more about this land: Campsite on 72 acres along beautiful Jumpoff Joe Creek. Shaded, adjacent to romantically lighted timber-frame private covered bridge (no traffic). Very secluded, but only 1/2 mile from I-5 (no freeway noise, though). Private "beach" area and kid-friendly water play area with wild creatures (turkey, deer, fish, crayfish, water striders, turtles, frogs, etc.). Picnic table, tent spots, and fresh water spigot. Short hiking trails (watch out for poison oak!). Best for tenting, smaller RV's, tree tents, or rooftop tents. >100 yards from nearest structure. 3 nights max except by private arrangement.

Forested creekside campsite

The camp site was beautiful, and better than expected. It was quiet and comfortable. We even saw a flock of wild turkeys come through on Sunday morning.

Forested creekside campsite

Beautiful little hideaway. Easy to access, but off the beaten path just enough. Almost flat parking spot for my camper van and really nice clean portapotti and propane shower. The creek is idyllic, and it was lovely to hear it bubbling all night. Some fun stuff for my tweens to climb around on too! Well def be back :)

So peaceful!

The tent site is beautiful and well-maintained. Marcus already had the propane hooked up for us, so it was seamless. The creek runs right behind the campsite, so you hear it running all night. Super peaceful. We were lucky, with dry, cool weather. There’s a picnic table and a clean port-a-potty. The bench by the creek is a lovely place for morning coffee! ☕️ Would definitely come back. No trouble with GPS finding the site, good phone signal with T-Mobile.

Private, beautiful and convenient

So private and quiet. Very beautiful spot and just a short way from I-5 near Grants Pass, so also very convenient stopover. High marks all around.

My Mom’s favorite!

What an amazing spot-Marcus has created a wonderful camping experience! Fire ring (which we didn’t get to use but appreciate its presence), benches, picnic table, water, access to the creek, porta-potty, shower-everything you might need for a great trip. Beautiful property- walking path, covered bridge, gorgeous creek and so many trees-a fantastic view all around. Very private as well. So far this is my Mom’s favorite Hipcamp! Unfortunately I am sensitive to noise and could hear I5 which was surprising- it only slightly affected my view of the site. Not a deal-breaker by any means. We also discovered that our two dogs love acorns (which we discovered are poisonous to dogs) so keeping them away from them was a small issue. In all of the most important ways this property is a must see, if you are in the area or not, our drive was 2 1/2 hours! Thank you so much for having us!
