41mi from Glide · 1 site · Tent, RVBirthroots Sanctuary is simply magic! In our sanctuary, you will be surrounded by butterflies, dragon flies and humming birds and catch glimpses of otters, eagles, fox and kingfishers. Each season has its own magic.
The land is a riparian preserve and native medicinal botanical sanctuary. The entire sanctuary totals 11 acres with 1/4 mile of private creek. The Sanctuary Campground is 1 private acre with creek front (both sides), private beach and private trail. Fall asleep to the sounds of the water, walk the trail and find rough sewn sustainably harvested benches made on the property to sit and forest bathe or meditate.
The land is currently under restoration in conjunction with Rogue River Watershed Council, Jackson County Soil and Water and Oregon Department of Forestry. The owner attended a course in Land Stewardship with Oregon State University Extension and applied what they learned to the restoration of the property and the education of anyone interested in learning more. Some of the beautiful native plants being protected or restored include Trillium (aka Birth Root), Oregon Grape, Elderberry and more.
