31mi from Etna · 2 sites · Tents, RVs

The Salmon River watershed is among the cleanest in the world. There are plenty of hiking trails and beautiful places to experience. Osprey’s Perch is set up well for serving as a base camp for local activities like hunting, fishing, kayaking, rafting, day hiking, or just spending time on the river at one of the few private access points in existence. Camp is set up in a way that enables you to roast some brussel sprouts, or bake a pie if you so desire. I mean, how many camps offer that! The commercial gas range also serves as a great backup when fire restrictions are in effect! I hope you enjoy your stay and if you have any questions please reach out! Learn more about this land: Osprey’s perch is a small campsite perched above the Salmon River. The pit toilet is just downhill from the camp at the end of a trail winding down through the meadow and to the right. There is private access to secluded swimming and fishing holes on the lower Salmon River down the meadow trail and to the left. A bridge provides shelter from rain if needed. The area is known for its world class steelhead fishing and is unparalleled in its natural beauty. The elk even stop by occasionally on a late winter/early spring morning if you are lucky enough to get the timing right… I hope you enjoy our most recently additions, tent pads on a nice deep bed of chips, and a dog run for your best friend!

**Only for those who are okay with a rough and rugged drive for an Alaskan style retreat only 25 miles from the Market Of Choice in Ashland, OR** Cedar Springs Village is ever improving and expanding as a gathering place and Natural Movement training facility/playground. Tended by host and MovNat Lvl2 certified fitness trainer. There are also family activities such as a toddler friendly bike pump track, small sandbox, tire swing, well used trails and roads to hike or mountain bike around the property. There is a growing communal outdoor kitchen with a standard four burner stovetop and oven. Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the mountains. Pitch a tent in one of the numerous locations on this secluded and diverse 120 acres. Here you will be amongst a thick forest of cedar, pine and fir; oak groves, rolling hills, babbling creeks, spring-fed ponds, meadows and spectacular views of majestic Mt. Shasta. If you are a plant enthusiast, bird-watcher or nature lover, or even a rockhound, this area will be a dream come true. The terrain is hilly but old logging roads provide nice hiking paths along with hundreds of animal paths for the able bodied. Near the owners cabin and main camp area there is an outdoor kitchen, tapped spring to collect water, fire pit and a compost outhouse. It is important to note that there is no poison oak or poison ivy around the area. It is a wonderful place to really explore. Just 15.4 miles east of Ashland on highway 66 then 9 miles on a slow dirt road.  The drive is absolutely part of the experience, slow down and enjoy the views. As you drive up hwy 66 the views of the valley below are absolutely incredible, then you come to the dirt road. This is a very slow drive due to the condition of the road, it is part of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and poorly maintained. **Important** The last section of road to get to this pristine and secluded forest location is a 9 mile dirt road with bumps, rocks, and a many washouts that bring you to a near stand still. 4 wheel drive is strongly recommended. Low clearance cars not recommended.

Weekend Trip to The Swimming Hole On Red Cap Creek

We ended up being the only campers on an early November day, so Wayne graciously let us choose whichever site we liked. We pitched our tent right by the communal fire pit and picnic tables instead of a designated site. The ground was easy to drive stakes into, and Wayne even offered more substantial stakes in case they were needed. His sweet dog (Cowboy) and horse (Coco) paid some very welcome visits. They're sneaky for treats, so watch your back! ;) A hose is nearby that supplies filtered fresh spring water, and the toilet room is very convenient. The hot showers were down due to some construction, but we enjoyed our stay a lot! We would recommend this place as a nice getaway, or as a stop on your way to the redwoods or Eureka (we did both).

Be sure to follow his directions, not Apple Maps. Also, be aware cell service is limited at best and there wasn’t WiFi. However, it’s a cool spot. The views are amazing and the stars are breath taking. A bit rugged and rural, so make sure you’re prepared. The views of Mount Shasta are top notch!

2 nights at The Swimming Hole On Red Cap Creek

This property is beautifully set with views of the mountains and forests all around (we got an amazing sunset!) and a stream / swimming hole with little beach right below. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, meeting us when we arrived to help us get situated, talking with us (also giving plenty of space and alone time, but always available and helpful if we needed anything), even offering fresh fruit and vegetables from their trees and garden. They have a friendly dog and horse which roam the property. Our stay was very enjoyable, peaceful, and relaxing. The only possible downside is that it's somewhat challenging to get to--it's remote, and the handful of miles toward the end down a narrow, winding, at times unpaved (in one relatively short stretch, and then once on the property itself) road with occasional places to pass were a nail-biter, especially driving an RV--but the drive in and out was incredibly scenic and worth the experience in between.

We loved every second of our stay in Wayne's property! the creek all to ourselves was simply perfect our dog enjoyed the freedom of running around freely and being able to play in the creek. the weather and the views were perfect. we caught some rain which just amazing it was just fresh and i definitely would recommend this to anyone looking to get away. it's about 2 hour off the nearest highway but i didn't mind the scenic drive.

From the drive down the gravel road, the intentionality of function and sustainability, the rooted in place of understated quiet design is delicious. Sunrise Cabin's territorial view of this small valley, seen through the glass doors opening to the deck has a spaciousness that soothes. We Had everything we needed, beds were comfortable, bathhouse was spotless and had good towels and it is very quiet at night. Property is beautiful. will definitely return to explore the area more, one night was not enough.

Super nice spot. The showers were actually nicer than my one at home and the flush toilet at the barn was key for my city kids. Quiet and beautiful. It is pretty far to get to groceries/cell phone signal/etc. but it seems more like a feature than a bug. I booked at the last minute and appreciated the clear directions and communication with the host. Would definitely go back!

The camp hosts were incredibly warm, welcoming, and truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their kindness touched our hearts and created an unforgettable experience. The campsite itself is utterly breathtaking, nestled in a secluded, mountainous haven that feels like a hidden paradise. The stream flowing through their property is simply awe-inspiring, its soothing sound amplifying the natural beauty surrounding us. We fell in love with their adorable family pets, Cocoa and Cowboy, who greeted us with joyful enthusiasm and genuine affection. If you're longing to escape the chaos and immerse yourself in the pure magic of nature, this is the place where dreams come alive.

It's a beautiful site - gorgeous juniper trees and manzanita bushes, soft sand, and it smells wonderful. A number of great hiking trails nearby - very silent and peaceful, lots of stars at night. Really pretty much nobody around and a gorgeous view of Mount Shasta to the south. Pat was very welcoming. To check in with her, just go down the road till you see a camper house, that's hers.

Where do I even begin with this amazing place. Wayne, the host is freaking awesome! His property is beautiful. His horse is friendly and loves carrots and nose pets. The best part may be the private creek access with a couple little swimming holes along the creek and little beaches. The clear blue/green water, all the green trees, vines, and moss really makes you think fairies live down there. And the blackberries, sweetest best blackberries I’ve ever had. The sound of the creek made for a great nights sleep. Wayne’s property is a dream. I cannot wait to come back and visit Wayne and play in the creek. ❤️
