Nice location with good on-site amenities. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. The rv sites are a little close together, but thankfully we were the only people there. Would definitely recommend, especially for the price.

James was very welcoming and helpful during our stay on their property. Very thoughtful touches, including a treat for our dog and fire wood ready for us to use. Thank you so much for the amazing stay! Would definitely recommend and come back again. Beautiful and peaceful property to explore with our babies and dog 😊

We enjoyed our stay on Jamie's land. The property is beautiful. Totally surrounded by mature forest and a large lawn with grazing deer. The RV pads were very well constructed and required no leveling. Jamie came to meet us right away to explain the hookups, give directions to forest and creek, wifi password, and even brought treats for our pup. We weren't able to take advantage of the sitting area because of the rain, but it was a nice space. We would recommend this property to other travelers in the area.

What an amazing place to stay! James and Linda go above and beyond to make you feel safe and attend to your needs, while giving you your privacy and space. Their land is absolutely stunning, the creek has it's own waterfall (and feels more like a river), and the camp spots are easy to back a trailer into and are nice and level. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it!

We have been to several different hipcamps but this one is our favorite by far! The hosts are very friendly and attentive. They have a beautiful piece of property and you can tell that they love their piece of Oregon

This was our second stay recently- passed back through on a long camping trip and we were all excited to be back. It was cooler weather but we still had a great time around the property. Such a peaceful place with only wind and bugs to be heard at times. Thanks again James and Linda :)

We really enjoyed our stay, very private and quiet, right next to creek. Not far from ocean for a day trip. Host came down and greeted us after we arrived and brought us a bag of pears.

Highly recommend this clean, well maintained camping spot. With only 3 sites it is peaceful and quiet. Owner is friendly and brought us flowers and fruit. Perfect spot to explore Elkton and the coast. Large sites and lots of shade. Beautiful creek a few steps away with wildlife.

We had a great time at the RV site for 5 nights. We camped in tents outside the RV and it was wonderful having a ton of shade nestled up next to the forest with the summer heat!
There is so much to do on the property and we didn’t need to leave to keep our nearly 4-year-old busy and entertained. We went to the creek every day (on tubes and wandering in the creek), biked around, stumbled upon a stream in the nearby forest, played in the field and around the fruit trees, hiked to top of the property and so much more!
James and Linda are very accommodating and kind hosts. We missed them after we left and hope to return soon! This place is special and they are continually working to improve it. Definitely go here, it’s a GEM!

Ron was wonderful host! We loved camping at dancing creek and would consider staying again. We stayed here on our way from Portland to Crater lake. We requested camp 1 but since both sites were avalible for our duration ron recommended we check out site 2 and see if we would like it, which we did. The property is massive, we saw(and dipped in) the creek, ron's garden, and a meadow up the hill. The view from the medow was spectacular. One of the best parts was just chatting with ron he made us feel welcome and was just a really cool guy. Also we got to see the cows just before we left.

James and Linda were the most gracious hosts! When we arrived James gave us a tour and showed us the different swimming holes (which were absolutely breathtaking and easily accessible). Our kids built forts and overall has the best time. It was an amazing stay for our family and very kid friendly. It is quiet and my two kids had a great time hearing the sounds of nature, picking plums off of the trees, swimming and having space to be kids. James was very responsive to our needs and quick to solve any issue we had. We are already thinking through all of the people we want to bring back to this amazing place! Thank you James and Linda!

Beautiful property right on Paradise Creek! Easy to navigate with my 17’ travel trailer. Would highly recommend. We saw a black bear walk up the creek-wonderful wildlife, birds and minnows fluttering in the creek. Just follow the directions and it is easy to find!

I split my time between the cozy studio rental and the RV sites, and both were fantastic in their own ways. The studio is beautifully designed! Clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches like a little bistro table, adorable mushroom wall art, a super comfy bed, and a gorgeous tiled shower. The kitchen area is small but mighty, with everything you need (including fun mini appliances!) to cook a simple meal. A mini fridge and microwave onsite, too, and clean!
The property itself is peaceful and surrounded by towering trees, which makes it feel tucked away from everything. The gravel RV sites are spacious, level, and have a nice mix of sun and shade, plus picnic tables and easy access to trash, power, & water!.
One of my favorite parts was exploring the trails, swimming hole and waterfall, LITERALLY steps away from camp! I can't believe this was all for my private use while I stayed!
The hosts James & Linda are so kind, and clearly take great care of the property and take so much pride in being hosts! They had a few snacks and drinks stocked in the studio, and even cozy music playing to welcome me. So sweet of them!! :')
This spot is great as a comfortable basecamp for adventures or a relaxing forest escape! I'm already planning my next "artist getaway" here; it's the perfect spot to disappear for a few days and create. I’ll definitely be back!

This is a beautiful camp. There’s a water hole for summer dips. Handcrafted fire rings. Cute cows and calves sometimes. Beautiful walkways for hikes in the woods. Blackberries in the summertime. The Host Ron is kind and personable, very hospitable. I was privileged enough to get a tour of his glorious garden, greenhouse and orchards. But didn’t take pictures of that as I wasn’t sure if the gated private area was for public viewing. Every time we visit it’s an adventure on this amazing Hipcamp property. Thank you Ron!

This place was so nice and peaceful! Way more affordable than a public camping ground, and way less people too. We had a great time cooling off in the swimming hole. We had a blast!

The best private sites RV camping near Cottage Grove guide
Where to go
Along the McKenzie River
A tributary of the Willamette River, the McKenzie River and its surrounding areas offer around 90 miles of opportunities for rafting, fishing, hiking, and soaking in natural hot springs.
In and Around Eugene
A short drive north from Cottage Grove, Eugene is Oregon’s second-largest city, with plenty of biking and hiking trails as well as museums and performance venues. It also has an excellent food scene, and is home to many of the state’s most celebrated wineries and breweries.
Oregon’s Central Coast
Cottage Grove is directly west of the Oregon Coast, and there are plenty of dunes, hiking trails, and viewpoints under a two-hour drive away.
When to go
The Cottage Grove area gets plenty of rainfall throughout the year, though the months of June through September tend to be the warmest and driest. Due to its relatively low elevation, it doesn’t tend to get too cold here in the winter months, and many of the area’s campgrounds are open year-round. Just make sure you have a good rain cover for your tent—this is Oregon, after all.
