Cranberry Overlook is a large, 75-acre, organic farm situated just a mile from the incredibly scenic Oregon coast. Our primary crops are cranberries and blueberries, however, we grow a variety of responsibly raised fruits, vegetables, herbs, chestnuts, and mushrooms, too. The farm is certified organic by Oregon Tilth and deeply committed to creating and maintaining a diverse, sustainable ecosystem.
Dispersed camping is situated in a quiet corner of the farm, overlooking one of our three cranberry bogs. It is out of view of the main house in a fenced area, giving you a cozy, private experience surrounded by mature trees, roaming sheep and a cool ocean breeze.
Spend time hiking our 75-acre property, touring the farm on foot, gathering around the fire ring or exploring the quaint, coastal town of Bandon. Traveling the coast via Highway 101? Stay with us on your way! Or, even better, make Black Moon Farms your multi-night getaway, enjoying the peace and quiet of life on the farm.
Last, but certainly not least, we are home to 35 sheep, wild lobster mushrooms and 12 ponds scattered around the property for irrigation and stock water. A five-acre grove of chestnuts is at the front of the property, along with numerous pine trees, redwoods, eucalyptus and a variety of shrubs.

This beautiful spot on the Smith River was once an old mining claim. The property boundaries actually go half way out into the river. The present house was built in 1957 and has been remodeled a few times since. The host retired from teaching 12 years ago and spends much of her time improving the landscaping and gardening, while playing with her giant Shiloh Shepherd.

National forest 35mi from Gold Beach · 736 sites
The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest is made up of 1.8 million acres and spans from the Western Cascades to the Siskiyou Mountains. With somewhere between 60 to 100 inches of rain per year this escape is filled with a diversity of green and a lone Rogue River. Port Orford Cedar and Douglas fir practically litter the mountainous, and meadow landscapes. Lakes and streams (200 miles of them) aren’t too uncommon, and the forest boasts the tallest Pine tree in the World (we’re not kidding folks). The Ponderosa Pine stands at 268.35ft, which is a little bit taller than your average industrial wind turbine.

When you think of clean water, what do you see ? Prepare to be spellbound by the otherworldly colors and lucidity of the wild and scenic Smith River. Enjoy peace and tranquility while swimming in your own exclusive, private swimming hole. You may see four point bucks crossing the river, otters playing along the rocky banks and black bear gorging berry bushes while birds, ducks and dragonflys abound. This quasi resort provides a quaint, off grid tiny house with everything you need to feel comfortable but it is not The Four Seasons Hotel. The 1.5 quiet, secluded acres is detached from a world of artifical stimulation and crowds and is ideal for a couples getaway or small families. Entertainment is provided by means of a covered porch to observe the true residents: the wildlife.

The Smith River Complex Fire took our property on August 16th, 2023. Updates on our progress here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fucaTaOwf5c
PLEASE NOTE, 4WD is required in order to access the sites. Please message me if you have any questions prior to booking.
Sustainable Ecovillage is an off-grid project for sustainable living. If you are looking for a unique experience and up for rustic accommodations among goats, chickens, a permaculture food forest with a few off-grid perks, we welcome you to join us in our mountainous, wilderness paradise!
Our 160-acre property is surrounded by about a million acres of National Forest. Our neighborhood is all made of trees, huckleberry bushes and animals. We love it here. It is very remote, peaceful, and functionally sustainable in its focus. The closest neighbor is a Buddhist Hermitage about a mile up the forestry road. Also, supposedly, Sasquatch live here! (it is the epicenter for documented sightings).
Most visitors to the area are interested in spending time in the redwoods – we are about 30-45 minutes from the nearest entrance to Jedediah Smith Park, home of Stout Grove and other beautiful redwood hikes. Driving into Crescent City, about 45-60 minutes, winds you right through the "gentle giants" on your way to or from Redwood National Park.
We are self-sufficient, and sustainable in a relatively primitive set-up, especially after the fire this year. It's mountainous and remote, and we have a community agreement about no smoking (of any kind) on our land.

This park gets its rather self-descriptive name from the six beautiful rivers that flow through its borders, but don’t the name fool you. There is a lot more than just rivers to check out here. More than a million rambling acres of forest take you through foggy and mystical redwood landscapes. Further inland, miles of towering Douglas firs, glacial peaks, and hidden pools just wait to be discovered. Of course, the rivers are the main attraction. You can’t go two feet without tripping over a perfect swimming hole. After your dip, there are plenty of warm rocks to lay out on. Oh, and if the natural beauty doesn’t get you: this was the place where they first spotted Bigfoot. Yeah, the original footage that basically made everyone believe in the hairy bi-ped. That, on its own, is reason enough to check it out

4 nights at Azalea River
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Jacob's Riverside Gem! It's rustic enough to feel adventurous and homey enough to feel warm and comfy in the winter. It's obvious that Jacob has put a lot of heart and soul into this little cabin because of all the artistic touches you will find throughout. The firewood was well stocked, the property was beautiful with many fresh fungi to observe, and the little kitchen was perfect for making delicious meals. The fridge is quite small with no freezer, so if you want to bring fresh food for cooking, I recommend bringing a cooler. The shower is not far from the cabin, so it's easy to get a hot shower in and run back inside to the warm cabin. Make sure to bring your own bath towel. The bathroom is farther from the cabin, but I enjoyed the walk there, especially at night when I could look at the stars.
We didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space very much, seeing as we visited in winter, but we definitely want to come back in the summer to enjoy all that this little cabin and the Smith River area has to offer. If you're looking for a quaint place to stay while adventuring in the area, you've found the right place!

Go straight at the barn! (Don't go left!) Lovely pastoral land, mellow sheep, we could hear the rolling surf, the site was level and private--even though one other site was visible, adirondack chairs and wooden picnic table with benches were a bonus, and the fire pit was great! Nick is a patient, attendant host. I highly recommend this farm!

1 night at Azalea River
Jacob has really put in a labor of love on this land to help his guests, rest, reset and connect. Being able to take a shower outside and hike down and wade the waters of the river was unbelievable. It rained most of the time I was there so I didn't get to take advantage of the river much but the cabin was a cozy safe haven to cook dinner and brew my morning coffee in. I loved that I could camp there and then drive 25minutes and be hiking in the Jedidiah Smith Redwoods area. Close enough off the 101 you can really use it as a stop like I did however I can see how staying longer would mean even more glory along the river.
The cons are I found some metal scraps and screws on the ground walking around; just beware if you have kiddos. The hike down is well designed but it's definitely moderate and can be slippery. The ladder up the bed is not for the faint of heart!

Beautiful property and the perfect location for our relaxing anniversary getaway! Nick was a great host (and so was Bella... the very sweet dog who hung out with me while I relaxed in my hammock). Our site had shade, a picnic table, fire pit, and also had power. My wife and I had a fantastic 3-night stay.

We spent the entirety of our stay floating in the gorgeous Smith river and didn’t see one other person. Easy to get to but very hard to leave. It really was perfect.

We had a great experience camping here. It’s a beautiful location that is quiet, clean, spacious and relaxing. The owner is very easy to communicate with and responsive. It’s nice to have a firepit with picnic tables and Adirondack chairs to sit and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The sheep are an added bonus to go and visit. It’s close enough to Bandon to be convenient but far enough away to still feel isolated. I would highly recommend camping here and we definitely plan to return.

Wow! This place hit the mark for us in so many ways. This was our first family trip, camping with a 7 month old (inadvisable), so having beautiful, serene wide open meadows really was amazing, and our dogs were over the moon! Elise and Kevin stopped by to welcome us and were ready to answer any questions we had. What a beautiful piece of property! We will absolutely be back. I want to tell everybody, but I also want to keep it our own little secret. thank you!

This place truly is a Gem!! Loved being in nature and right on the Smith River and still having creature comforts like lights, cooking equipment, fridge, super comfy bed and a hot shower! This place is perfect for anyone seeking a cozy glamping experience :) The river really was the best part for me, I swam in it multiple times every day, the swimming spot is so perfect. Bring water shoes/Tevas, something of the soft if your feet are sensitive with rocks like mine are and you’ll be super comfy walking down to and into the water. Location is a great home base for Redwoods, Crescent City and Brookings, so many awesome hikes within a short drive. Looking forward to coming back and staying again! 11 out of 10!
