Stay in one of our Native American Tipis, nestled into the forest next to the Winema National Forest. We have miles of hiking trails, and lots of wildlife in the way of birds, bunnys, chipmonks and the occasional deer and elk, and are across from the Pelican Butte mountains. Experience what few get to know- what it's like to be in a real Native American Tipi. Come experience the outdoors as Natives have lived. This isn't any airconditioned motel room- this is the real deal. Owners are Native American. An experience of a lifetime. Questions will be answered, info. available. Also a art gallery of their artwork is on site in the office. Come and enjoy!
Their ranch, Heartline Ranch & Tipi Village is on Crater Lake Highway (Hwy 62) just 26 miles down from Crater Lake. They have designated 15 acres for a primitive Campgrounds and Tipi village sites. September of 2020 we were sadly effected by the Wildfire- TwoFourTwo which took 5 of our 6 tipis. We have been able to clean up, regrow and make ready for camping guests. We once again have 6 tipis, all beautiful, and in addition, 6 new camping sites for people with their own tents. Sorry, NO rv's (vans are allowed.) Its wonderful to see all the beautiful regrowth, and to see that most of our trees have regenerated. It is now once again a beautiful place to be.
It is their love for this land and a desire to share the beauty and Native experience with others to led them to open up these campgrounds. There is 15 acres in the immediate campgrounds & 6 tipi sites and 6 camping sites for folks with their own tents, so LOTS of privacy. Our ranch has 250 acres of land, great hiking trails that you will have access to for hiking, next to the Winema National Forest, and connected to the Pacific Crest Trail.
You will have space to enjoy this beauty. The owner's horses are rescue horses and are their own private property. Please do NOT feed them or go up to them without the owners being there. Horses have delicate stomachs. Our gentle giants are mellow but very big so please stay OUT of their pasture. You may help us during their feeding time, if you ask owners.
Staying in a tipi at this campsite offers a unique and potentially memorable experience, but there are a few things to keep in mind. While many guests appreciate the spacious teepees and friendly hosts, some reviews mention issues like road noise, barking dogs, and occasional dust. A good number of visitors enjoyed their stay and found the facilities clean and comfortable, but there are mixed feelings about the tranquility of the site. For those sensitive to noise or looking for more secluded camping, it might be worth considering other options in the area.
What a lovely place to stay outside Crater Lake. The host was so welcoming and shared the history of the ranch which was so intriguing. The shower was wonderful and the sunsets spectacular. 10/10 would recommend.
Bob and Kori were so hospitibal, and made sure that me and my friends felt welcome, the land is beautiful and I would reccomend anyone to stay here! Thank you!
The camp host was an absolute sweetheart. Loved her. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.. The campsite itself wasn’t very visually appealing to me, super dusty, and tons of mosquitoes. The porta potties were also in need to being emptied however they were clean (seat, area around seat, floor, etc).
