Cedar Bloom
157 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Cave Junction, Josephine
Cedar Bloom was purchased in the spring of 2017 by Spirit Weavers Gathering as a place of peace and healing, for all walks of life. Spirit Weavers is an annual women's gathering which happens once a year each June. We host over 1,200 women in just two weeks on the land.
Our beautiful forested land is located in Southern Oregon, in a small town off the 199 Redwood Highway. The land which we call home is 100 acres of beautiful protected forest and sits upon a mile of the Illinois River.
We are very fortunate to be surrounded by a widely diverse population of flora and fauna. As caretakers of this sacred land, we feel a strong responsibility to honor our plant and animal allies by not only protecting them and their habitat, but also to help educate others about what lives and grows here by providing people with opportunities to experience the beauty of these plants and animals for themselves. For this reason, We are honored to host the many different groups who will gather here on this land for learning and communing with the nature that flourishes here. We feel very fortunate to be involved in this process of helping promote a sustainable and abundant future for all living things on this planet by sharing knowledge and skills from the human past that can make a sustainable lifestyle a reality for everyone everywhere.
This is our home and we are happy to share it with you!

Peace & Solitude
5 sites · RVs, Tents121 acres · Newport, Lincoln
Our Private Land is located in Newport Oregon. Daily you can hear the ocean roar and smell the fresh air off the water. It is a forest area accessible by trails that all link together. There is also a very nice trail off our land to a nearby city trail that will lead you to Agate Beach.
You will see coastal evergreens and deciduous trees with all sorts of other bushes and flowers that you typically find along the Oregon Coast. Some of the wildlife on the land such as
blacktail deer and many species of birds are
seen and heard on most days.
You will see breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, the Yaquina Bay Bridge, the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, and Big Creek Reservoir. These landmarks can be seen randomly throughout your walk on the trails and from the campsites. There are beautiful sunsets and sunrises. On a clear night you can see the constellations, undisturbed by city lights.
Our property provides a lot of room to be by yourself.
Hammock, book, write, read, and my favorite... take a nap. A place of peace and solitude away from the public.

Old growth cedar forest on vineyard
4 sites · Lodging, Tents11 acres · Beavercreek, Clackamas
Learn more about this land:
Welcome to Calliope Vineyard and Retreat Center!
Our campsites are on a small pond in an old growth cedar forest with a few trails to enjoy the stillness and magic of the woods.
Please let us know if you are needing a van camping spot opposed to tent camping in the woods. we also can split up your group if some are tent camping and others need van camping.
We consider this land sacred. We are only caretakers passing through, and honor this place and the peoples it was taken from.
Please be mindful of the energy of the forest, and all the people and animals who have come before.
We donate 5% of earnings to "landback. Landback is an organization and movement motivated to get Indigenous lands back into indigenous hands. and to MMIW (missing and murdered indigenous women.
This forest is home to beavers, coyote, deer, raccoons, salamanders, cougars, and many bird and bug species.
You will have a good amount of space and privacy for your party, but may encounter others enjoying the forest as well.
Included with the tent campsites, we provide a picnic table, and fire-pit (with an option to purchase wood) and a fire extinguisher for emergencies.
There is also a good amount of wood that can be found on the ground, but keep in mind we have had a very wet spring. We respect fire bans.
There is a brand new out house about a 3 minute walk from the campsites at the top of the small hill. This is a pit toilet, and we provide sawdust to use when done.
When you arrive, take a right at the pool. Just across from the pool is the woodshed. You will see two parking spots to the left of the woodshed (Hobbit Hollow parking) and two on the right (Hobbit Circle) You can unload here. (We have carts if needed) Across from parking, and attached to the barn, is the water station, and instructions.
You will be walking (or carting) your things down to the forest where you will pass the outhouse on the left. Walk down the path. For Hobbit Hollow, take the path to the left across the second bridge. For hobbit Circle, walk around the pond. The path around the pond to Hobbit Circle is bit narrow for the cart.
It is not a very long walk, but there is a decline, and you need to be a little hearty to camp here.
For Caravan camping, we provide car camping on the sport court, or have a few other options.
We have a pool, hot tub, massage therapy, and an outdoor shower for an additional charge. (See Extras)
The additional charge for the pool and hot tub is $15 per person for 90 minutes of hot tub time. The pool is available any time after July 1st, and may be shared with us, but you must schedule the hot tub for privacy at the sign up sheet by the water station.
The hot tub is to the right of the house down by the garden.
The garden is very near the hot tub, so there could always be someone gardening.
You are welcome to walk the vineyard,and explore the front of the property. My neighbor Beth is a master gardener, and loves to give tours of her gardens.
We have delicious Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Malbec and a Rosé for purchase from our winery. (Inquire upon arrival)
We take fire safety very seriously. Please make sure all fires are out completely before sleeping or leaving.
If there is a fire ban, it will be upheld.
If you smoke in the forest, please be very conscious of any sparks, and contain your butts in something to be taken away.
Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog. We do have chickens, but they are mainly penned up. My neighbors have chickens who are loose. Please pick up after your dog as much as possible. They must not run off, and leashed in common areas. Do not let your dog run free to the neighboring properties.
We can also accept larger groups, and can accommodate small wedding parties, celebrations, retreats, and gatherings that can include the vineyard,(front of property) a cabin, catering and more. (Inquire for pricing)

Molalla Ripple
11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents25 acres · Mulino, Clackamas
Welcome to Molalla Ripple!
Enjoy the sound of the Molalla River rolling over the rocks.
Wake up to birds chirping and tall trees swaying in the breeze.
The campsites are sixty feet apart for privacy and one path leads to the river with two private beach areas to relax.
Jsm Ranch started in 2004 when we moved from Oregon City.
This once was a working farm with two chicken barns and a meat locker barn. All had been fallen into disrepair before taking owner ship.
In 2007 we planted 200 tree's and 100 shrubs to build a new fish and wildlife habitat along Woodcock Creek. We then focused on building fence along the Molalla River to protect water quality.
From there, we started raising Black Angus in 2008 after spending four years cleaning up the fields to make it safe for animals. We strive to be good stewards with our land as we continue to work with Clackamas Soil and Water to make better working lands.
You're only minutes away from the town of Molalla to grab a bite, groceries or other camp items. Also have Molalla Rodeo just 3 minutes away on
July 1-4th.
You won't be disappointed for a great breakfast at Tammy D's (Mulino, OR), sandwiches at Humble Pig or pizza at Bear Creek Pizza & Pub.

Camping in Oregon guide
Oregon has long been known as an outdoor destination, with snow-capped mountains, rugged high desert, Pacific Coast beaches, and roaring rivers all within a few hours’ drive of one another. While Portland attracts visitors with its celebrated food scene and music venues, Oregon offers much more for those who’d prefer a quieter getaway out in nature. If you’ve come to camp or hike, you’ll have no shortage of options to choose from—in fact, there are 11 national forests, hundreds of state parks and recreation areas, and 2.5 million acres of protected wilderness within the state’s borders.
Where to Go
The Willamette Valley
Extending from the border with Washington state down to the community of Springfield, the Willamette Valley is Oregon’s main economic and cultural hub. Although it’s home to the state’s three most populated cities (Portland, Salem, and Eugene), much of the Willamette Valley is dominated by forests and countryside, with plenty of state parks, hiking and mountain biking trails, hot springs, and rivers.
Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge
Just east of Portland on the border with Washington, the Columbia River Gorge offers easy access to miles of hiking trails, waterfalls, and great skiing and snowboarding. The adjacent Mt. Hood region has equally beautiful scenery and is as popular for winter skiing and snowboarding as it is for hiking, swimming, and camping in the summer months.
The Oregon Coast
This region is popular year-round, attracting whale-watching fans in the cooler months and campers and hikers in the summer months. Popular Oregon Coast activities include hiking, tide pool viewing, clamming, crabbing, off-road vehicle rides on the sweeping Oregon Dunes, and sampling world-famous cheese and ice cream in Tillamook. While some brave souls don wetsuits for surfing and diving, the Pacific Ocean waters rarely get warm enough for comfortable dips. Some of the area’s best camping options can be found at Harris Beach State Park, Sunset Bay State Park, and Cape Lookout State Park, all of which offer tent camping, yurt rentals, and RV sites with hookups.
Eastern and Central Oregon
Stretching from the portion of the Cascade Range south of the Columbia Gorge all the way east to the Oregon-Idaho border, central and eastern Oregon offer a dryer, sunnier alternative to the rainier parts of the state, with a mix of lush forest and craggy high desert landscapes. Highlights include Deschutes National Forest, popular for backpacking and backcountry stays, while campers in search of a more developed camping experience can head to one of the many Oregon state parks along the Deschutes River, near Bend.
Southern Oregon
Oregon’s southernmost region offers a variety of scenery, with a mix of lakes, forests, and rivers interspersed with rolling expanses of countryside (not to mention some great wineries). The region’s most famous natural attraction is Crater Lake National Park, Oregon’s only national park, set near the southeastern reaches of Umpqua National Forest.
