Peace & Solitude

5 sites · RVs, Tents121 acres · Newport, Lincoln
Our Private Land is located in Newport Oregon. Daily you can hear the ocean roar and smell the fresh air off the water. It is a forest area accessible by trails that all link together. There is also a very nice trail off our land to a nearby city trail that will lead you to Agate Beach. You will see coastal evergreens and deciduous trees with all sorts of other bushes and flowers that you typically find along the Oregon Coast. Some of the wildlife on the land such as blacktail deer and many species of birds are seen and heard on most days. You will see breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, the Yaquina Bay Bridge, the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, and Big Creek Reservoir. These landmarks can be seen randomly throughout your walk on the trails and from the campsites. There are beautiful sunsets and sunrises. On a clear night you can see the constellations, undisturbed by city lights. Our property provides a lot of room to be by yourself. Hammock, book, write, read, and my favorite... take a nap. A place of peace and solitude away from the public.

Riverwood on the Siletz

2 sites · RVs, Tents1 acre · Lincoln Beach, Lincoln
We are having a lovely fall on the River. Mornings are foggy but, the days warm up and there have been amazing sunsets. The salmon have begun their journey up river so by mid to end of to end of October they will be up to our property (aproximately 8 miles up river from Hwy 101). There are a lot of boats up and down the river trying to catch "the big one". You can see the salmon roll from our dock and you can try your hand at fishing off the dock too. If you have a boat, we have room for it and there is a nice ramp to put in a few miles down river. Our campsites are easily accessible by vehicle and we have room for tents, small trailers and camper vans too. The sites are relatively level and grassy, situated under large spruce trees. We are still in tidewater here so both sites sit above the river (about a 15' river bank at high tide). If you want to be on the river, there is access from our personal ramp and dock. The river temperature is cooling down so swimming is still fine just be aware it's cold. Our dock has a ladder so it is easy to get back up. We love dogs and they are allowed on the dock and in the water but, keep a close eye on them as they may not be familiar with getting back up on the dock with a ladder. We do have an indoor Loo and shower...Yay! (byo towels, shampoo, etc) Feel free to use the electric kettle to warm water for coffee, hot cocoa, tea or cider. The space is shared by each of the guests we have. We also offer our little sleeping cabin, the Glass House for an extra fee. PLEASE NOTE.....We didn't realize how popular our little sleeping cabin would be so to avoid double booking and disappointing our guests, we will keep you posted on the availability. The Glass House is currently AVAILABLE these dates: AVAILABLE: October 9th-12th October 16th/17th November 11th-20th December 1st on into January It has a comfortable inflatable mattress and an electric heater to take the chill off and a comfy chair Just BRING YOUR OWN sleeping bags and pillows (There is a comforter on the bed just for looks and to help make the air mattress more comfortable). We do our best to keep the dampness out but, we are on the Oregon Coast and buildings get a little musty. We do use a dehumidifier when it is not in use to help. It is located in our "Riverside" site. We do not book that site for other campers while you are using the Glass House. **We will be making updates to the Glass House to make it a bit more homey. The sites: We have two nice camp sites, they are about 150' from one another. Our "Riverside" site is closest to the River bank. You'll have your own deck for viewing the river and beautiful summer sunsets and your own fire pit. (This is where the Glass House is located.) Our "Riverwood" site is about 150' inland from the riverbank, under large Spruce trees. You'll have a nice grassy area by an apple tree to set up camp and your own fire pit. You'll have access to enjoy the river and sunsets via our personal ramp and dock. Bring your Kayak or SUP to explore the slow moving river (or rent ours!). Enjoy a wide variety of wildlife; migrating and resident birds, Beavers early in the morning and evenings. Our resident River Otters have been very active this summer. You'll see them in the morning and evenings swimming, playing and munching on Crawdads. There are Deer although we seldom see them on our property but, they are across the river. There is a huge heard of Elk down river...Oh, and have I mentioned the sunsets are amazing from the dock? ***A little more information: We like to limit each camp site to 4 people to give everyone space. If you do have one or two more that is fine but, we have a per additional person charge. If you have more than 6 people you will be camping with we do recommend reserving both sites so you will have the entire area to yourselves. Once you reserve a camp site you'll receive a welcome message with the physical address to the property and the instructions on how to navigate the property once you are here. There is a HIPCAMP sign with an arrow to direct you to the 2 camp sites. There are also "END HIPCAMP" signs on our property lines to preserve our neighbors privacy. Check-in is 2pm or later, check out is 12noon or before. To be respectful of other campers that are excited to get outdoors (and to allow us to clean the bathroom and make sure the property is ready for the next campers) we need to adhere to these times. FIRE RESTRICTIONS - There are no fire restrictions currently but, we want you to extinguish fires when you leave the property. We have bottles of water at each site to do so. Also, we provide fire extinguishers if there is an emergency grass fire. We have always loved this property adjacent to our house and are happy to share it with our guests. We really appreciate checking us out and hope you'll come camp with us! Debbie and Rick, Luna and Piper

Rose Lodge - The Old School

16 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Otis, Lincoln
This property was the Old Rose Lodge School which consisted of two classrooms originally. On the property sets the old school house and gymnasium. The property now consists of approximately 5 acres with the back side of the property being nicely lined with trees to tuck tents into. The property is located approximately a 100 yards from the salmon river and setting directly across the street is a large protected creek. We set outside of Lincoln City about 6 miles and are located outside of what we refer to as the fog bank so it will be warmer or colder depending on the time of the year than what it is in Lincoln City. We have a community fire pit, that all campers utilize and have open fires when we aren’t restricted by the County to allow open fire burns. Typically we will let you know when there is no fires allowed whatsoever, but all visitors have a good time getting to know other visitors.

Rock Crick Acres

4 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Grand Ronde, Polk
This hidden gem is only 1/3 of a mile off the highway yet all you can hear is the flow of the water from Rock Creek which flows along the 2 acres. There is plenty of spots to toss your tent. Personally, I prefer the bank overlooking the stream. Cool your feet on a hot summer day in Rock Creek (the main attraction). Enjoy the evenings around the fire pit. Complimentary 2 bundles of firewood, BBQ, table, chairs to use are available. Did you know the coolest porta-party in the galaxy awaits your visit? Attractions: Spirit Mountain Casino is only 4 miles away, The Oregon coast is a 25 minute drive as well as plenty of vineyards. Also enjoy 100+ miles of hiking trails. The trail head is only 1 mile from camp. I'm available to answer any questions you have and look forward to your visit. We ask if the ground is wet you keep your car on the gravel driveway and not drive in the grass (causing ruts). Don't be a turd. Respect the Hideaway. If you plan on partying and/or staying up late around the campfire, don't book this. I have neighbors and respect them. Go do your party booking elsewhere, please. Lastly, if you are bringing dogs, you'll most likely get quite a bit of barking from the dogs to the east. I just want to be honest and warn you. Those east dogs don't like other dogs for some reason.
