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.    Learn more about this land: 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.  >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. Private 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.).

This is a great, very private, very beautiful camping spot! Just as advertised! Found it without too much trouble even though we arrived after dark in a snow storm.

Lovely spot!
We had the opportunity to meet Marcus and he is a lovely host. Beautiful spot, even in the middle of winter! Very serene & spacious. You cannot beat the proximity to I-5, though you would never know how close it is. Our dogs loved all the sniffing opportunities, and hanging out by the fire. The tick circus was in town, so if you bring pups, be sure to have tick-defense on board. Thank you Marcus!

Fantastic tent camping experience!
We had a blast tent camping on Marcus's land. My husband said it was his best camping experience ever. The creek provided the perfect ambience and the propane fire pit (once we figured it out) was super easy to use. I loved the little details like the solar lights and the bench for the firepit. The walking trail was so picturesque and the port-o-potty was sparkling clean.

Tranquil site in the woods
Great spot! Very thoughtfully laid out, spotless and the hot shower was awesome. Gas fire ring worked great. Close to town and just under two hours to the Oregon Caves National Monument.

Marcus has a very well planned and maintained site here. The site gets lots of natural light, is mostly level and very near the creek. The shower is a delight and the bathroom is very clean. The walking path is very peaceful. Larger rigs and trailers will be able to get in and out but it will be a little tight.
