GeerCrest Farm was settled by the Geer family in 1848, and is still owned and stewarded by the family. The house Ralph and Mary Geer built in 1851 stands and is one of the oldest in Oregon to remain in the same family. The farm features creeks, forests, pastures, orchards and gardens as well as the historic buildings. Currently we have four friendly sheep and a small flock of Mallard ducks to keep us company. The Pioneer Memorial Orchard features over 50 vairieties of pre 1850 apple trees. The Heritage Grove has ten fruit and nut trees that were recognizeds as a memorial the the early pioneers of the nursery trade by Oregon Heritage Tree program. The 20 acre property, offers three tent camp sites Including the Tree House site, as well as two forest cabins and a small forest bunkhouse (sleeps 6). Our peaceful, small farm offers a reflective immersion in nature and history among the occasional quacking of ducks and baaas of sheep. The scenery from all corners of the farm is incredible - a favorite is the westward view of the valley pasture at sunset -- called "Homer's View" after famous political cartoonist and Geer descendant, Homer Davenport. No matter which camping site you choose, the sounds of the creek, pond frogs, or conversing owls are sure to lull you to sleep. Feel free to roam the farm, but always leave gates as you find them, open or closed. Please say hello to our sheep and barn cats (they may say hello first). Explore the Heritage Grove of historic trees, the Memorial apple orchard and pear glade with varieties circa 1840s, indulge your senses in our medicinal herb garden, and chat with our farm family while they water the veggie gardens, if you so wish! Your experience will certainly be unique to the season. Your host Jim Toler represents the fifth generation of the farm and will happily share stories of the farm and it's history.

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 for an extra $10/day which includes the firewood. There are complimentary tables, BBQ, chairs. Did you know the coolest porta-party in the galaxy awaits your visit? Yep, true. 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 (rain for 24+ hrs) you keep your car on the gravel driveway and not drive in the grass (causing ruts). Don't be a turd. Respect the Hideout. 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 a bit of barking from the dogs to the east for the 1st hour. I just want to be honest and warn you.

Harrisburg has a few family owned places to eat at, and a few shops to explore. It's a one light town, but that is why we love it here. The river is my favorite part. I sit for hours on end, watching the water flow by. Fishing, rafting/floating, and wading in the water are all fun things to do here. If you are looking for something just to get off the highway for the night, or for a longer stay, this is a great quiet place to be.

Our 5.6 acre hobby farm is located on the bank of the Santiam River with 200 feet of riverfront. It is located between the towns of Lebanon and Sweet Home off Hwy 20. It's fun to drop into the river 3 miles upriver near Sweet Home and kayak right up to our beach! Take in a stunning river-view sunrise from the group fire pit area, located about a 2 minute walk from the RV camp site. Canada geese, ducks, river otters, mink, deer, bald eagles and osprey frequent this stretch of the river. Unwind with a mindful walk through our stone labyrinth. Or hang a hammock by the river and nap to the sound of rushing water. We are a beginning hobby farm, currently home to pasture raised chickens and developing gardens. Seasonal produce and pasture raised eggs may be available for purchase during your stay.

Tranquil RV spot on our one acre property, an hour's drive from Portland, Corvallis or the Pacific Ocean and 45 minutes from Salem. Our mile long rural road is great for family bike rides, bird watching, picking blackberries and other fruit in the late summer. We are close to the Yamhill River for some kayaking or canoeing. Our property offers a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city and being away from city lights make us a great spot for some star gazing. We recently finished building our passive Eco-home and are in the process of creating a permaculture food forest by planting lots of fruit trees and other perennials. We have a flock of 10 hens. We want to share our rural little farm with traveling guests. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our favorite local spots.

Enjoy this peaceful, secluded campsite located in the coastal mountains. Relax by the creek, watch the wildlife. Snuggle up to the fire pit as you roast marshmallows and stargaze at night. Great place to rest after a day spent hiking, hunting, bicycling, touring or exploring. Close to Triangle Lake and Lake Creek Falls and the Siuslaw River

One of my favorite spots in Oregon to watch the sunrise from the tallest mountain on the Oregon Coast Range. On a clear day you can see the ocean from the peak.

Weekend Trip to Two Rivers & Mohawk Love Farms

We stayed 2 nights in late Nov while in the area for a U of O game and it was nice (although quite cold). Go Ducks!! This was a great camping spot that was very private and quiet. We got to Eugene in under 15 minutes. We will likely be back but in warmer weather next time. Thanks for a smooth experience.

Weekend Trip to Squared Roots Farm Yurt

We had such a great time camping and staying in the yurt on Jeremy and Dana's land. The yurt is at the back of the property, near a creek and feels private.

Weekend Trip to Coyote Camp

Based off my communication with Ethan alone, I *highly* recommend this spot. Sadly, we were unable to honor our reservation, and when I let Ethan know, he was incredibly kind, responsive, and refunded our trip -- something I wasn't expecting at all. I don't write this review to encourage missed reservations or reinforce bad camper behavior. I do, however, want to recognize Ethan for his superb service, as it's something I don't always encounter on this app. He's a keeper. And we'll 100% get there one day. Thank you, Ethan!

David was a terrific host. He greeted us on arrival and was available whenever needed, but also left us in perfect solitude otherwise. He has a great property and is actively working to improve and add to it. We can’t wait to see him bring his plans to life, and will certainly be back.

Site 3: Red Alder. This spot is the most private of the three.

Second time visiting, and always a favorite. Secluded and beautiful, yet close to town.

Parking on the main path near fire pit (with removable kid safety outer ring). Old growth crab apple tree and baby nectarine tree near picnic table.

Weekend Trip to RV Tent Camping near River

Tad and Alanna met me at my arrival for a quick get-to-know and what was needed. Semi-private camp spot was close to chickens, but surprisingly they were not noisy (thankfully no rooster that I heard). Spot is off the main road so only road noise was passing neighbor cars. Crab apple trees were ripe for picking, blackberries already finished. I spent my daytime hours away from camp spot and at the McMinnville Highland Games Festival where I was competing in heavy athletics. On my departure day, I received a thank you note expressing interest in the Highland Games after meeting me and stating that their family was their watching me, which added a nice personal touch to the visit.
