Any Cheryl Strayed/Reese Witherspoon fans in the house? Retrace their Wild footsteps in the Fremont-Winema National Forest; part of the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail falls along the forest’s western edge. And the forest certainly is “wild”: the 2.3 million acres of lush green forests and alpine meadows shelter elk, antelope, bobcats, and bears--plus intrepid adventure seekers, like yourself! In the summer, try hiking or biking along the Crane Trail, which offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. And don’t fret when the weather turns cold and snowy; Fremont-Winema turns into a winter wonderland! Strap on ski goggles and coast downhill, or rev it up on a snowmobile at the Quartz Mountain Sno-park. Back at camp, warm up with a cup of hot cocoa--with extra marshmallows, thank you very much--and start planning for your next day in Oregon paradise.

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.

Hideouts HipCamp Review I loved this place! Partly the location and partly the very nice people there. About the location: it's not for everyone,; it is a bit of a drive including 5 miles on a scrabble road that is fine. But you get out and away from everyone and into a beautiful spot with a great view. It’s also rather rustic that I like that soon they will have a bath house and it’ll be different. There’s an example of how they were nice to me: I am 72 years old and have some mobility issues. they were very cognizant of it and helped me get around a little bit. That was very sweet. I would come back every year if I could.

I've had the best time staying on this beautiful mountain with these wonderful people. There is absolutely nothing like waking up to mountain sunrises, and taking a dip in the cool creek after hiking on a hot day. This place is very special, and it's not just due to the breathtaking views. It's also because of the people there whose goal is to make it feel like both home and a new adventure all at once. I look forward to many many more trips back!

We felt so lucky to have stumbled upon Kat and her partner’s beautiful little piece of property. The campsite itself gave stunning views of the night sky (we spotted the Milky Way and a shooting star!) We wished we had stayed longer so that we had more time to explore the area! Kat and her partner were so welcoming and communicative! We’d love to return to this special place!

Weekend Trip to The Hideouts

This spot is definitely a hidden gem! From incredible star-gazing to a beautiful sunrise, this spot is perfect for the view-seekers. Kat and her partner were such gracious hosts, thinking of the little things to help make us comfortable. They made themselves available if we needed anything throughout our stay as well. They have a little piece of heaven tucked away in the mountains of southern Oregon and they’re dedicated to making it as special as possible! Getting to the Hipcamp is a little tricky even with detailed instructions so definitely give yourself time to get there as they are still working to perfect the off-grid navigation.

We watched an Eagle drop this fish right in front of our RV, Bob got it before our pups did.

It is very simple and quiet and the views are breathtaking. It is not an improved campsite, so if you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t for you. If you are looking for a secluded getaway that is free from the hustle and bustle and let your dogs off leash with you and you love dry camping and don’t like neighbors, This is the place for you. We absolutely loved it, We will definitely be back.

Gravel/ dirt road for about 30 minutes of the 45 minute drive off the highway to get to the property, would not recommend 2WD like I had but I still made it and man was that view worth it! Fantastic hosts and property!! They’re putting a lot of work in to cleaning up the land to eventually become a campground but even as is I would go back time and time again.

Weekend Trip to The Hideouts

What a view and a hidden gem, truly. It's the early days for these camp hosts, and they have already poured so much of their hearts and souls into this breathtaking land. We had a killer spot, with unobstructed views of Mt McLoughlin, the canyon, and the Milky Way filled night sky. Peace abounds here, as did the hospitality from hosts Kat and Colman. They have a vision for all that the place will become, and it feels really special to have gotten to stay at The Hideouts and support that vision as it becomes reality. Kat and Cameron were accommodating, communicative, and welcoming from our first HipCamp message, to our arrival, and all the way through to our departure. Our trip down the canyon to hike to the waterfall was well worth the drive. 4WD required! Next time, we'll do the canyon hike as well. Don't miss this spot - a little slice of heaven far away from distractions.

We had such an amazing time at Willowdale! We would definitely return if we’re in the area again. It was so quiet and peaceful, the view of the mountain and lake is unmatched, and we felt like we had the place to ourselves it was so private. Kevin is a very welcoming host, and he even invited us to join their 4th of July party they were having at the barn. It felt like a nature preserve with the variety of birds on the lake, coyotes at night, and horses nearby. Only downside is the access to the lake was pretty muddy/squishy (and lots of cowpies) so we didn’t end up swimming like we planned. Totally fine for our group, and there’s lake access about 7 minute drive away if you want to get in the water. Just a heads up if your priority is to get into the lake!
