URGENT ! The sides of the pond are extremely slippery. If you want to swim, please be careful; it’s very easy to fall and hurt and is dangerous. Enter and swim at your own risk !
Rest and relax on our beautiful slice of heaven just minutes from Smith Rock State Park; it’s a 15 minute walk !
We are building on the property and there may be some construction noise during the day, but the nights will be beautiful and peaceful. There is water, a toilet, and 120 electricity available. Warm showers are available at the park.
BYOB (bring your own bedding) and camp in style in our quiet, private (and quite romantic!) 10x12 safari tent. Furnished with a comfortable new futon, end tables and a classy rug for comfort. It sleeps two very comfortably.
The full size futon easily lifts into a lounger, perfect for reading. Tie the tent doors open during good weather and relax as you watch the wildlife in the field and the sun move over Smith Rock.
Kick back next to a little gas fire pit on the tent platform as you watch the sunset over the Cascade mountains.
DONT USE GOOGLE MAPS !
Pull into a large gravel driveway/parking spot by turning north off of NE Wilcox, just after some S-turns if you are driving east from Smith Rock State Park. It is easier to pull off NE Wilcox than approach the property from the actual address; typing the address into Google maps and following those directions is not the best way to get to the tent. The entrance off of NE Wilcox is marked by two large, big rock cairns with a wood signs and metal “3648” numbers. There are two pictures on this site of the best entrance off of NE Wilcox. When you pull in, you will see a farm shed then the tent on the right, and the pond with windmill on the left. Park you car and relax !
The tent sleeps 2 people…perfect for car campers who want a clean and roomy tent space.
Vans and RVs are welcome too.
*RVs, be aware the gravel drive is pretty narrow as it goes over the irrigation ditch. Small RVs will be just fine. Medium or large RVs won’t fit!
Walk a sculpted gravel path up a little hill to the sparkling clean (and rarely used) PortaPotty. This is professionally serviced weekly.
We are turning this land into a farm, and will periodically be out there during the day digging a pond (this winter’s activity), figuring out irrigation, and generally working (when we are not climbing). If we see you we’ll be sure to say hello!
Feel free to roam around on our acres of juniper woodland all around the tent site. You’ll find quail, many other small birds and see geese flying by. Early mornings and dusk are a great time to watch the deer in the field and you may have the great luck of spotting a wild turkey or two!. At night you may hear coyotes singing, the neighbor’s cows mooing and various small mammals running around. We’re told there are no rattlesnakes in the neighborhood (yea!), but you may see a non-poisonous bull or Gardner snake in the field. We even have a family of marmots living at the far end of the property. Look for them in the big rock piles April- September in the early hours. Marmots hibernate all winter.
*Keep all food in tightly closed containers and please don’t leave food in the tent during the day (your car is the best place for that). Pack your trash out.
This is a Residential neighborhood and voices really carry tot he neighbor’s house; so please, no raves and quiet time after 9ish. Respect the property boundaries.Rest and relax on our beautiful slice of heaven just minutes from Smith Rock State Park!

Feel free to roam around on our acres of juniper woodland all around the tent site. There is a large pond. Great for swimming and floating in the sun, but there is no lifeguard; enjoy it at your own risk and please please please be careful with children 🙂

The view, especially at sunset, is breathtaking. Easy to get to but remote enough to feel like you’re out of the city.

We had a great stay. The view is wonderful, the tent was great and it was nice to be able to cool off in the pond. Thanks!

Tent
Andy was there when I arrived. Kind and helpful but also gave me the quiet space I was looking for. Highly recommend! I went to the market in Terrabonne and bought some delicious smoked tri-tip for supper. Sat on the porch and enjoyed the view and ate supper. Excellent.

Perfect glamping spot just minutes from Smith Rock, right off the road! It’s like camping in the park but much more convenient, private, and quiet. The futon bed was very comfortable (bring your sleeping bags and bedding), and we really enjoyed the colorful and scenic sunrises from the deck. The canvas tent is sturdy and sheltered us well from some cold wind. We’ll definitely be back to stay for our next climbing trip up in the area!

Great proximity to the Rock
Tent · Group trip
Andy's place is just as advertised. Well located, very close to Smith Rock, quiet and in a ex-urb neighborhood. Tent and amenities are good quality and clean. Great propane fire ring was key on a chilly weekend. There are a few houses around and in the view of the rock but you get used to it quickly. The pictures are accurate - the parking area and the camping space are gravel/rip-rap. Bring extra padding if you plan to pitch a second tent as there aren't really any other spaces available to put one other than on the gravel.

Tent
The permanent tent situation was so refreshing on our camping road trip. The port a potty was clean and the scenery was amazing. It’s not super private but was very accessible and SO close to smith rock park.
