Celestine Fields

10 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · Carlton, Yamhill

Learn more about our land: In the heart of Willamette Valley AVA and on a breezy 20-acre lot of land we provide a space for you to set yourself up and enjoy life's natural bounty. We offer a small shared space with a wood fire stove and some essential items, many games (such as horseshoes), and lots of picnic areas and tables sprinkled throughout the property. The location is central and half an hour to just minutes away from water bodies Hagg Lake, Nestucca River, Yamhill River, little Niagara Falls, Mill Creek, Baker Creek, Rainbow Lake and more… Such as the Carlton public pool. If your looking to jaunt from camp a little further, we are located a little over an hour and a beautiful drive to the Pacific Coast and about an hour from Portland. Although in the middle of the country woods, we are surprisingly only two and a half miles from the adorable and quaint town of Carlton. So beside the views, you’ll be alongside some fantastic eateries and outstanding winemakers. Being raised in the community, and over ten years of experience in the local food and wine industry, I can give recommendations aplenty. ꕥ We just opened up mid-summer 2021, so it’s a work in progress (as work normally is!) With the work of this past season, we have been able to catch a flow, get a port-potty situation up and running, and have purchased a 20ft stargazing tent that is in the works of being set up and will be listed this season! With things still very much adjusting any recommendations, comments, &/or questions are much appreciated and welcomed! Thank you ahead of time. In any form, I’m excited to be apart of your adventure and hope to see you in our neck of the woods soon! ❊ ❁ ❊ - Whitney

The property had been an old timber farm that was in bad shape. In 2012, a portion of the property was cleared and planted and the adventure had just begun!The vineyard was planted in 2012, with additional blocks planted each year since. In 2015 they produced our first lots of Pinor Noir and Sauvignon Blanc and have since expanded the wine selection to offer hand-crafted lots of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Dolcetto, Lagrein and more.These days, Chris manages the day to day operations of the farm and wine production while Beth manages the business.

Being raised in the community, and over ten years of experience in the local food and wine industry, I can give recommendations aplenty. ꕥ We just opened up mid-summer 2021, so it’s a work in progress (as work normally is!) With the work of this past season, we have been able to catch a flow, get a port-potty situation up and running, and have purchased a 20ft stargazing tent that is in the works of being set up and will be listed this season! With things still very much adjusting any recommendations, comments, &/or questions are much appreciated and welcomed! Thank you ahead of time. In any form, I’m excited to be apart of your adventure and hope to see you in our neck of the woods soon! ❊ ❁ ❊ - Whitney
