National forest 12mi from O'Brien · 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.

National forest 57mi from O'Brien · 281 sites
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

Tucked away on 70 private acres in the mountains of Southern Oregon's beautiful Illinois Valley, Whisper Canyon Ranch feels like a hidden world of towering forests, sunny meadows, winding trails, and star-filled skies. We're just four miles from the little town of Selma—close enough for convenience, yet surrounded by public lands and the quiet beauty of the wilderness. Perfectly situated for exploring Southern Oregon, we're just minutes from Lake Selmac, the Illinois River, and countless hiking opportunities, with the Oregon Caves about 45 minutes away and the Redwoods just an hour's drive. Whisper Canyon Ranch is first and foremost a weekend wedding and event venue, which means every corner of the property has been thoughtfully designed for beauty, comfort, and gathering. During the week and on select weekends outside of private events, we open our gates to travelers looking for something a little more memorable than an ordinary campground. Whether you're pitching your own tent, arriving in a camper van, staying in one of our cozy cabins, or settling into a fully furnished bell tent at Glamp Camp, you'll become part of our little forest village for a while. For groups looking to gather, we also offer private bookings for retreats, workshops, reunions, celebrations, and other meaningful events. With beautiful gathering spaces, overnight accommodations, and room to spread out, Whisper Canyon Ranch is an unforgettable place to bring people together. 🌿 The Experience Slow mornings with a cup of coffee. Afternoons exploring the forest or cooling off in the pool. Evenings around the fire beneath a sky full of stars. Wander through gardens and meadows, discover hidden corners of the ranch, play a round of putt-putt disc golf, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the land. 🌞 Amenities & Shared Spaces 🌼 The Mercantile – Our on-site general store offering coffee, cold drinks, snacks, ice cream, camping essentials, and locally inspired gifts. 🕊 Bird's Nest Wellness Studio – A peaceful space that may host yoga, breathwork, wellness classes, and community gatherings throughout the week. Also available for private ceremonies, circles, and retreats. 🌾 Gardens, Meadows & Forest Trails – Explore flower, herb, and vegetable gardens, stroll through open meadows, or wander the wooded trails that weave throughout the property. 🚿 Outdoor Cedar Showers – Two private open-air cedar showers surrounded by nature. 💻 Cosmic Café – When not reserved for private events (typically Monday–Thursday during summer), enjoy our cozy gathering space featuring Wi-Fi, billiards, ping pong, board games, comfortable seating, TVs, and covered patios. 🔥 Glamp Camp Commons – Home to our three beautifully furnished bell tents, this shared space includes a communal camp kitchen and propane fire pit (when seasonal fire restrictions allow). 🥏 Putt-Putt Disc Golf – A fun, family-friendly course tucked among the trees. 🚻 Clean Restrooms – Well-maintained portable restrooms conveniently located for campers. Because Whisper Canyon is an active wedding and event venue, you may occasionally see preparations taking place or hear celebrations during private events. Weekend quiet hours begin at midnight, allowing everyone to enjoy both the festivities and a restful night's sleep. Whether you're passing through for a night, escaping for a weekend, or gathering with people you love, we hope you'll slow down, breathe deeply, and make yourself at home in our little corner of the forest.

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.

Welcome to the Wild West Coast! Where the mountains meet the sea. The campground is remotely located on private property and perfectly located for excursions to the Pacific Ocean, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, the Smith River National Recreation Area, and the Pacific Coast Ranges and mountain lakes such as the Devil's Punchbowl, Buck Lake, and Raspberry Lake. Relax and free you mind while camping on 120+ acres of private property under starry skies with almost no light or noise pollution. You are not alone on the mountain as other people live here in the wild. You only have access to the campground and a nearby pond. A locked gate with code access. The road to get there is two and a half miles up the mountain, the first mile is paved and the other mile and a half is gravel. The road is maintained by the county and used daily by others that live and work here. In the surrounding area you can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, surfing, beachcombing, birdwatching, and countless other outdoor activities. French Hill Trail is a few more miles up the mountain road. The campsites have picnic tables and fire rings, and campers are provided with 5 gallons of potable water. An outdoor, COLD-water Artesian shower, out in the open mountain air with the wild things and an outhouse with a compost toilet are also provided. Bundles of firewood are available for an extra charge when you book your campsite. The campsites are set within a deciduous and pine forest at about 1913 feet in elevation. There is a pond on the property, but its purpose is for wildlife habitat ONLY, so water activities are NOT allowed. NO swimming, NO fishing, NO boating, NO trapping, etc. The wild things live here! The property owner has a dog, three cats, and a menagerie of yard birds such as turkeys, peacocks, guinea hens, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. They do make noise! Kirk has lived off-grid for over twenty years and holds a wealth of information about the Gasquet/Del Norte County area. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the property is that it has had documented Sasquatch encounters over the past twenty years that have been published in "Tribal Bigfoot" (D. Paulides 2009). Kirk can tell you about his experiences with this and other phenomena on the property.
