Water Hookup

Just about ready to relax for the night. 

Cedar Root at Highland Butte

Cedar Root Woods is hidden just outside of Portland on 20 acres of forests, trails, a small spring-fed pond

and a wood fired sauna. Your host Brad

who lives nearby in a Timberframe home built from the trees on the land.  2 tent campsites (sites #3 #4) and two RV/car camping areas (sites #1 #2) allow plenty of private space for you or your family.

This is another spot that you can park your tent. 

Tucked deep in the forest, away from it all. 

This is the bathroom, turn the sign when in use. 

Headed down to place our feet in the water. 

You can go from the sauna and heat up, then dip in the pond to cool down. 

Peace on Earth

When you visit our little "piece" on Earth we hope you feel the "peace" we do.&nbsp; After spending many years living in the city, we found a place where we feel the calm and solitude we've been wanting and needing for a long time. Now, we want to share it with you.&nbsp; A 10-acre "piece" of "peace" on Earth.&nbsp; Come join us for a day or two.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Catching sunrise at the yurt with an amazing view of Mt. Hood.

Elk Moon Yurt

Elk Moon is a single yurt perched in a open clearing above the forest. Overlooking Mt Hood, Mt St Helens, Mt Adams and on the clearest days-Mt Jefferson. It’s a lovely open space where we’ve been joined by deer, elk, bald eagles, osprey and more. There’s an intimate relationship with the clouds here-sometimes wrapped in them, sometimes sitting on top of them-but everyday is dramatic and stunningly beautiful.Learn more about this land:Relax and rejuvenate your senses in a comfy, cozy and spacious&nbsp;20 foot&nbsp;off-grid yurt. Wake up to the sunrise out your window and the site of Mount Hood and three other mountains on a clear day. Fall asleep to the site of the rising moon and the stars, enjoy the sounds of wildlife mixed with interesting sounds from the farm. Even the clouds feel dynamic and special here.This space has everything you need to enjoy time away from the city. Elk Moon has&nbsp;a secluded feel in a meadow&nbsp;at the top of a mountain surrounded by forest, but w/&nbsp;neighbors not terribly far away. Enjoy coffee and meals inside&nbsp;on a basic two-burner camp stove or drive a short distance to town.&nbsp;A charming and clean&nbsp;composting&nbsp;toilet&nbsp;is located a few yards from the yurt. It is always cleaned in between campers.&nbsp;With hiking right outside your doorsteps and fantastic mountain views, Elk Moon is ideal for nature lovers.&nbsp;

My get-up for the weekend. Camper van + Yurt = the most comfortable camping there ever was. 

The yurt feels incredibly spacious, warm and inviting.

The kitchen in the yurt has all the essentials.

There are endless ways to unwind: My preferred method reading John Muir books. 

The bed is extremely comfortable, with solar lights above to read at night. Plenty of blanks provided should you get a little chilly.

Enjoy your time out here, and disconnect from the city life.
