Welcome
It was important to choose a partner like Hipcamp to invite like minded individuals who respect both the natural environment and the idea of less is more.
At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses, gardens in the process of creation, snakes, bugs, ticks, and wild animals.
As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.

# Peaceful Prairie Campsites
Visit us and discover why Hipcamp has named Peaceful Prairie Campsites the **best Hipcamp to visit in Nebraska for the past three years.** Bordering the south side of Scotts Bluff National Monument, with private foot access into the park, we're less than two miles from Highway 71—making us **easy to find, easy to love, and easy to leave**, according to hundreds of guests who have shared their positive recommendations.
Peaceful Prairie Campsites encompasses **200+ acres of beautiful prairie pasture bordering Scotts Bluff National Monument.** Under the care of fourth-generation steward Lisa Betz-Marquez, the dramatic bluffs create a stunning backdrop for those seeking a private and peaceful experience, birding and wildlife watching, or an adventure-seeking hike.
### A Great Home Base for Exploring Western Nebraska
Our location also makes Peaceful Prairie a wonderful home base for exploring some of western Nebraska's most iconic landscapes and Oregon Trail history. In fact, you don't have to drive anywhere to experience our biggest attraction: **our prairie shares a boundary with Scotts Bluff National Monument**, and guests enjoy private foot access from our property into the south side of the Monument for hiking and exploring. The Monument's visitor center and historic Summit Road are only about 3 miles away by road. **Legacy of the Plains Museum is about 3 miles away, Wildcat Hills Nature Center about 11 miles, and iconic Chimney Rock just over 20 miles away.** Spend the day exploring, then come home to the prairie for sunset, wildlife, wide-open skies, and spectacular stargazing.
### Camping on the Prairie
Our rustic prairie sites—welcoming tents, cars, vans, rooftop tents, truck campers, and motorcycles—are located directly on the prairie. RVs and pull-behind trailers are not permitted on the prairie sites.
The prairie is a fragile environment, and protecting it is important to us. To preserve its beauty and health, trailers and RVs must book one of our designated RV sites. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us care for this special landscape.
Our **RV sites offer 50-amp electricity** and a rustic camping experience on crushed concrete near our corral, with foot access to the prairie just steps away.
All sites share access to delicious potable water from our underground well, a clean porta potty, and our funky outdoor camp shower with unheated water. Guests also enjoy private foot access to hiking at various levels of challenge on the south side of Scotts Bluff National Monument.
A small group of yearling cattle calls the prairie home during portions of the summer and may share the prairie camping area with guests, particularly during May and June.
Prairie guests have relished the feeling of having the place to themselves—to experience the majesty of the landscape, the magic of our star-filled night skies, and a soulful communion with the land.
### A Landscape With a Story
Lisa is the **fourth generation of her family to live on Valley View Farm**, located directly south of the prairie. Her family has stewarded these lands since 1925, but her family's roots in the valley reach even further back.
Lisa descends from one of the area's pioneer families. Her ancestor, **Martin Gering, arrived in the valley in 1887** and became an early investor in the fledgling town that would eventually bear his name: Gering, Nebraska.
If you're a history buff, ask Lisa to tell you more. There's a lot of history beneath these wide-open skies.

This 200 acre property is located within the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument, a land bridge where two mountain ranges meet, creating immense biodiversity and natural beauty. Soda Spring is a bourgeoning community tended land located on the unceded territories of the Shasta, Takilma, Latgawa and Klamath peoples, just 10 minutes from the south end of Ashland, Oregon. The property is primarily oak savannah and pastureland, with adjacent fir/pine and madrone/manzanita forests and hillsides. The land sits in a valley where both Soda Creek and Carter Creek enter in to Emigrant Creek as it flows onward to Emigrant Lake, just a mile away. The land is being stewarded by a small group of humans and large community of wildlife and insects. Together we are slowly creating something special... including community event and classroom spaces, gardens, orchards, holistically managed ranch lands, campgrounds and wild places.
Please note that we are a working farm with sheep, cattle, horses, chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats, pigeons and bees. We ask that you are considerate to all the life happening on the land, observing animals at a distance (except the cats, who will not allow for that) and being aware of electric fences. If you bring dogs to the land, (an option only with RV sites) do so at your own risk. Dogs will need to be leashed at all times and cleaned up after meticulously. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe and the land well cared for.
Currently there are two vintage trailers and two RV sites available. By summer of 2026 we hope to also offer walk-in campsites by the creek!

Eugene, OR · 5 units
Welcome to a truly unique camping experience at Parker Learning Gardens—a 33-acre nonprofit educational farm rooted in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Just 10 miles north of Eugene, nestled between the storybook towns of Coburg and Harrisburg, you’ll find our hidden Bamboo Forest—a place where the land feels alive and time softens.
🌿 Your Stay
Choose from tent platforms or primitive sites tucked deep within our 3+ acre Bamboo Forest, where towering bamboo and a canopy of mature Linden trees create a quiet, immersive world of green. Light filters through in shifting patterns, the air feels cooler, and the sounds of the outside world fade.
Guests have access to a wood-fired earthen cob oven, an outdoor kitchen sink, and a covered picnic area—perfect for slow meals, shared stories, and evenings that stretch a little longer than expected.
🌱 Wander the Bamboo Forest
This is a rare and established bamboo grove—over 35 years old and home to more than 40 varieties. Meandering trails wind through dense stands and open pockets, offering space to explore, reflect, or simply sit and listen. It’s a place that invites curiosity and calm in equal measure.
🍎 Discover the Farm (from the edges)
Beyond the bamboo lies the broader life of the farm—over 500 fruit trees, animals, and 12 demonstration gardens. From spring through fall, the land is active with classes, workshops, and field trips.
Note: To protect both guests and programming, we ask that casual exploration remain within designated areas (primarily the Bamboo Forest and Linden Grove).
If you’d like a deeper connection to the farm—animals, gardens, and behind-the-scenes systems—we may be able to arrange a private educational tour for an additional fee, depending on availability.
🌾 Our Why
Parker Learning Gardens exists to reconnect people with land, food, and ecological systems. Everything here is rooted in organic practices, regenerative agriculture, and thoughtful stewardship—this is a place of learning as much as it is a place of rest.
🌊 Nearby Adventures
Just 5 miles from the I-5 Coburg exit, the farm sits along the historic Willamette River. Nearby, you’ll find swimming spots, scenic drives, and within 30 minutes—hikes, markets, and community events throughout the Eugene/Springfield area.
