Single 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.  About 100 yards from nearest structure. 3 nights max except by private arrangement.    NO smoking/vaping/marijuana.  NO wood fires, but propane fire-ring is available -- bring your own propane tank or pay $5 extra to use my propane tank if available.  Good cell service from Google Fi/USCellular.  WiFi available on porch of owner's house by request. 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. Hey there!

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    This campsite offers a peaceful and private retreat, nestled by a tranquil creek with a charming covered bridge nearby. Campers appreciate the clean facilities, such as the spotless porta potty and the refreshing outdoor shower. The host, Marcus, receives high praise for being responsive and helpful, ensuring guests have propane and even offering experiences like a zip line for kids. While some mention the presence of poison oak and highway noise, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

    Amazing host, we had a great time! Marcus was even able to come give us more propane late at night. And we had cell service with t mobile the entire time

  • Sakura N.

    Camped in a 19 ft campervan with pets, Sept 2026.

    Very quiet, secluded, and private. Porta potty was very clean. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

    Take Exit 66!! Follow the host's direction. Coming from North, we took a Google maps exit seventy-something, and though we made it there, it was a very scary multi-mile pot-hole back road. This was a nice semi-private spot. Enjoyed the view of the stars, gentle river sound, and bench, picnic table & potable water. Also recommend to bring eye covering to sleep, as the ambiance lights on the bridge, while helpful for wayfinding, stay on at night.
