One of rural Oregon's hidden gems, Camp Colton is a retreat and event center tucked away on 85 acres of forest about an hour Southeast of Portland. Enjoy hiking our trails, walking our creeks and swimming or canoeing in our creek-fed pond. This is a truly special setting to unplug and relax. Our listings offer something for everyone, including tent camping, RV sites, a tiny house, forest yurt and a cottage that sleeps up to six! All of our listings are pet friendly and allow campfires (burn ban permitting). Amenities for each listing vary from bare-bones to full kitchen and bath, so be sure to read each description carefully and choose according to your needs. ****PLEASE NOTE: IN ADDITION TO OUR ACCOMMODATIONS, WE ARE A WEDDING AND EVENT VENUE, SO YOU MAY HEAR MUSIC AND JOYFUL VOICES ACROSS THE CREEK LATE INTO THE EVENING DURING OUR PEAK SEASON (ROUGHLY MAY 1 - OCTOBER 31). If you prefer only to stay when there is no event on our large site, please inquire before requesting to book. Our guests love staying with us! Check out these comments from past guests: "This place was absolutely amazing! We cannot wait to come back!" "The host thought of everything - every little touch and comfort to make it feel so cozy and glamping-perfect." "The fire pit and chairs outside were excellent, and the stove inside kept it so cozy and warm in there. Plenty of firewood, lighter, blankets, water & lights - we wanted for nothing!" "It felt very remote and we could hear the water all night, but it’s actually not remote and so we appreciated that the camp was gated at night." "Such a great place!! We are going to recommend it to all our friends and can’t wait to get back. Thanks to Neal for being an excellent host when we arrived!!"

North RV Site

I can’t say enough about Camp Colton!! Going on my third year, this place has been the campsite where we kick off our camping season every year. It’s so serene and relaxing. Stacey is one of the most amazing Hipcamp hosts I have ever experienced, and Neal on-site was incredibly helpful and available if we needed anything. They truly go above and beyond! The landscape is incredible, and we loved walking around with our dog and cat, especially to the creek! We were very fortunate to find such a place, and I promise you, you will not regret it.

Camp Colton Tent Sites

We're from Oklahoma and had the opportunity to RV camp on they're gorgeous land! We accidentally chose tent camping not realizing that you can't park your vehicle next to your camping spot. So they were kind enough to accommodate us to an rv spot. Neal, they're after hours ground keeper was very helpful and understanding! Would definitely stay again!

Tiny House By the Forest Pond

Camp Colton is an amazing place. Such a beautiful plot of land and the facilities are top notch. The tiny house was so fun for me and my family to stay in. We were not disappointed and we look forward to going back!

South RV Site

Amazing Pacific Northwest wonders

The entire camp is a Pacific Northwest Forrest wonderland that combines art and nature, and has all the creature comforts. We were in awe of the immaculately maintained forest with trails and bridges all over, but even more so at how Neal has intertwined his metalwork throughout the place in both functional architectural and art. He was very welcoming and met us at the gate and showed us to our site. Other than that though, we didn’t see another person in the very large campgrounds until we chatted with Neal on our way out. There are two RV sites together that are next to TWO amazing waterfalls. Our campsite was completely private as no one else had rented the other RV site. There are multiple fire pits scattered around Camp Colton, including a covered one that highlights some of Neal’s metalwork. That’s in addition to the large fire ring at the campsite. There are two sets of bathrooms for campers that are both clean and welcoming, and a gender neutral bathhouse with hot showers within private individual bathrooms. There are also cabins throughout the property, some which you can rent on HipCamp, and others that they’re fixing up. Several of the cabins are on the pond. There’s a large chapel and large lodge in the middle where they host weddings and other events posted on their website (several which we plan to come back for). They also produce maple syrup for the trees on their land! I can’t say enough great things about this place. 5-star HipCamp for sure!
