45mi from Grants Pass · 4 sites · RVs, Lodging

This 200 acre property is located within the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument, a land bridge where two mountain ranges meet, creating immense biodiversity and natural beauty. Soda Spring is a bourgeoning community tended land located on the unceded territories of the Shasta, Takilma, Latgawa and Klamath peoples, just 10 minutes from the south end of Ashland, Oregon. The property is primarily oak savannah and pastureland, with adjacent fir/pine and madrone/manzanita forests and hillsides. The land sits in a valley where both Soda Creek and Carter Creek enter in to Emigrant Creek as it flows onward to Emigrant Lake, just a mile away. The land is being stewarded by a small group of humans and large community of wildlife and insects. Together we are slowly creating something special... including community event and classroom spaces, gardens, orchards, holistically managed ranch lands, campgrounds and wild places. Please note that we are a working farm with sheep, cattle, horses, chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats, pigeons and bees. We ask that you are considerate to all the life happening on the land, observing animals at a distance (except the cats, who will not allow for that) and being aware of electric fences. If you bring dogs to the land, (an option only with RV sites) do so at your own risk. Dogs will need to be leashed at all times and cleaned up after meticulously. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe and the land well cared for. Currently there are two vintage trailers and two RV sites available. By summer of 2026 we hope to also offer walk-in campsites by the creek!

Come see us under "Laughing Mountain" on youtube! We have discovered that Laughing Mountain is not just a physical place on a mountain top, it is also a metaphysical entity that has dreamt itself awake. The irony of the fact that the creation of Laughing Mountain, has been nothing but blood, sweat and tears, pays homage to the reality that just like us, this mountain is a work in progress, we are all slowly chipping away at the masterpiece that is our divine self awakened. Laughing Mountain is a living thing in flux as it heals and breaks and mends itself all in the name of healing to help others heal too, it is the columniation of lifetimes of trauma experienced by humanity and their desperate dreams of freedom. Dreams of something better. Dreams of awakening. Laughing Mountain is the dream of the people, it is not Bryan or Terrah’s alone, we are simply here healing with it, and you. We weren’t aware of the sentience and trauma of the land at first, only our own need for healing, and desire to help others heal in the ways we’d found healing, by creating a sacred space in nature for everyone to use. As we began this dance of chaos with the land and all things residing in it and around it, we realized the land was as spiritually sick as we were. A microcosm of planet Earth, it has been raped, pillaged and neglected, it’s future never considered, it’s native stewards murdered, all in the name of greed. After 2 years of profound breakthroughs, mind bending healing ceremonies, confusion, emotional melt downs, everything malfunctioning one after another and questioning our choice to be here, we couldn’t help but feel like we were being sabotaged by something… We were. She was trying to get our attention, as were all of the negative energies trapped here. Suddenly an epiphany struck us both, in the thick muck of a terrible physical and energetic rut, we knew we needed to heal the energy that had been left lingering here from all of the traumatic events that happened all around us for hundreds of years. Just like us, trauma was trapped inside her from other people, just like the ancestral trauma we all suffer from on planet Earth. This is when we realized the land had called us here to help it, and in turn it would help us heal too….and it has. We now know we are exactly where we are supposed to be. When you come to this living mountain, speak kindly to her, she hears you, honor the Takilma ancestors who came before us, the plants and the trees the snakes and the bees, because we are all in this together. There is no you or me, there is only us and we. You and I are one being united in our desire for balance and peace on this planet, let’s walk together and support each other on this journey back into the welcoming arms of our own divinity. A little about our land; we give coordinates for the beginning of our road. We send you coordinates, very detailed directions, troubleshooting tips, and photo maps we made. As long as you successfully used the coordinates easy. There is no service here for the most part, mile marker 4 on the main road gets service if you need it! Please let us know if you’re interested in plant ID walks, Mushroom ID, medicine making, gold prospecting, boat rides or fishing. We prefer you don't pay ahead of time.

I loved staying here! The camper was cozy and charming. The land and the view was beautiful. Sarah was welcoming and incredibly kind. I did not have opportunity to walk the property, but this was a great location to stay. Ashland is just a few minutes away if you want to go into town and it's close enough to the highway to go out and explore the region, as I did.

Another great visit! Our second time here, it's becoming an annual tradition. Such a beautiful oasis with a creek just on the other side of the road. Magical!

Easy to find and very peaceful. It was nice to be near Ashland, but far away enough for a city dweller like me, to taste country living. What a spectacular valley! The camper was clean and cozy, and the bed so comfortable that I slept longer than I normally do. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you for letting me spend the night. It was very nice to meet you Sarah!

We have stayed with Sarah multiple times and always had a good experience. She is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The trailer is very clean, comfortable and well appointed for preparation of simple meals. It’s been a great stop for us on the way to outdoor adventure locations in southern Oregon and Northern California or to enjoy Ashland. The roosters will assist you in getting an early start in the morning :)

Weekend Trip to Soda Spring

This was my second time staying on Sarah’s land, once in early Fall and once in mid Spring. Sarah is kind and welcoming. The trailer is warm, cozy and has everything you need to get some rest, cook, make coffee… I do a lot of drives between California and Oregon and find this to be the perfect half way stop as Ashland has all the pit stop essentials. The stars are beautiful at night and the trails by the creek bring a sense of wonder. I hope to return often.

Soda Springs was just right for a night in the midst of a long drive - quiet space, comfy bed, kind people. Bed and trailer are spacious enough for someone just over 6' tall.

We are happy to have found this magical property. Our host, Sarah, met us with such warm hospitality when we arrived and took the time to chat with us a bit about the history of the property.. This property is gorgeous and the sleeping camper adorable and very comfy. We will have beautiful memories of this little “slice of heaven”. Gratitudes, John and Kristi

What a sweet little vintage Aladdin trailer tucked in to a quiet pocket of the micro farms property, near and far away enough from Ashland. Sarah is a very gracious host. We enjoyed staying there immensely.
