1. Tipi in Town

23mi from Scio · 1 site · Lodging · Corvallis, OR

We have a one acre lot in the city. Our 22' Tipi with access to a full bathroom (shower, sink, toilet). You may also camp in your own tent or vehicle. Get a fire going under our 20' x 30' canvas shelter and cook dinner or work on crafts (we use this space to teach bushcraft and survival skills classes). Pick plums, cherries, pears, apples and wild blackberries when in season. It's a 1 minute walk to access the best coffee shop and cafe in town. Our camp feels a little like you are in the country while being within walking distance of large city parks (Avery Park and Willamette Park), swimming holes, grocery stores and restaurants. As an urban site, you may hear street traffic on Hwy 99, although it's subtle. There is urban light from both a street light and the storage units on the North border of the property. The Tipi itself offers some barrier to these lights, however, if you want to be in a really dark location and see all the stars, this is probably not the site for you. Also, during the rainy season, the tipi isn't waterproof. We are close to Oregon State University campus (15 min bike ride, 30 min walk) and easy access to I-5 corridor (about 15 min drive). We host you as a family of 3 including our young daughter who might try to get you to pick blackberries with her.

Located in the Willamette Valley, where route 240 and 47 meet is the small town of Yamhill. just 3 miles out of town there is a 66 acre farm with forest covered hills, rolling hay fields and a small seasonal creek. We welcome you to come enjoy some peaceful rest on our farm. We have 2 camp sites available and more coming soon nestled in the trees across the open hay field where you can watch wildlife. each site has access to the composting toilet, has their own picnic table, fire ring, access to water, and some extras like hay that can be used for under tents, kindling to help start your fire, a fire extinguisher, access to a propane fire ring during fire danger season, and a few yard games. we do have fire wood available to purchase as well as farm fresh eggs. the camp sites are seasonal and most will be closed for the wet winter months. they will be open from June to September, depending on the weather we may need to adjust the access to the sites. at times they may be walk in only (about 200ft walk) or four wheel drive access only as they are in a low area of the farm and do not wish anyone to get stuck. if access has been changed I will notify you as soon as I can with an update. you are welcome to walk around during your stay, pick some blackberries, apples or plums but please be aware and careful as we do have some poison oak on the property. I encourage you to stay on a path. please message me if you would like a tour of the farm we have a horse boarding stable, rabbits, chickens and goats ( for your safety please do not enter any barns or pastures without permission , preferable accompanied) you can see and hear some of the animals but most are far enough away that they are not disturbing.

I enjoyed Tipi in town as I felt well cared for. I visited in drippy November and the hosts checked in routinely, supplied me with wood for the stove and provided an extra sleeping bag for comfort. As a dog owner, I was delighted by proximity to Willamette and Avery parks for wiggles and sniffs.

Great spot to stay in Corvallis. Host was very accommodating and the stay was quite comfortable. Noise level was about to be expected for being in town, but certainly not bothersome. Would def stay there again when in Corvallis.

The tipi, land, amenities, and bathroom were exactly as described, as shown in pics, but the experience was better! Dan and Rebecca were fabulous hosts, gave us suggestions of local areas to check out, answered questions, made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Dan even took some archery time with my daughter, very special. The wood stove in the tipi works really well and kept it toasty! Make sure to bring sleeping pads and bags. Our dogs did well, loved it there. Definitely recommend- we’ll be back for sure!

I had a very enjoyable stay. I loved watching the egrets fish in the nearby pond. The campsite felt private and was well-kept. The porta potty and trash bin was close by, and there was plenty of firewood. However, the nearby road is a bit loud, so expect to hear cars driving by throughout the night. Thanks, Tim!

Weekend Trip to Whiskey Hill Point

This place is awesome. Great spot! Work in progress but they are actively focusing on it. It has a river and a pond, ideal for tiny humans and their caregivers to play in all day. Hosts were so amazing and attentive. My 5 year old was exhausted by the end of the day from catching frogs and fish and playing in the river. We stayed in a site next to the pond which had a picnic table and unlimited firewood all stacked and ready. We live in Tigard and on a Friday afternoon traveling on I5south we were able to get there in 40 minutes. Super nice to be able to grab last minute marshmallows a 5 minute drive away when his mom realized she forgot them.

Crystal and Dustin are the kindest and most inviting people we’ve interacted with on Hipcamp. They were communicative and accommodating. We stayed for 4 weeks June-July. The property is perched on a ridge overlooking the town of Newberg, with beautiful views across the valley. There are two large open areas behind the Hipcamp site for pets to roam around off-leash. There is a road up the hill from the property and with no fenced in area, you may want to leash your pet if they are overly zealous explorers. Wifi was ok for basic internet browsing. We utilized our Starlink for work/video calls which worked well given the tree cover. Hook-ups are a bit away from the pad, so make sure you have at least a 15ft sewer hose or 2 depending on your camper’s configuration. The owner does run his business out of the garage adjacent the site, but there was only an administrative worker a few days a week and occasionally people picking up/dropping off equipment. Neither were ever a bother to us and we never heard any noise from the visitors or workers. Great area with tons of wineries, restaurants, and hiking. Short 1-2 hour drives to the coast or Mt Hood. All in all, would absolutely recommend!

We had a great time camping here. It is a beautiful piece of land and is being built up into a great new campground. We had everything we needed, with a picnic table, fire pit and porta potty. Private, we were the only ones there. A highlight was the little river, with hammock swings on the bank, to take a dip on a hot day or just relax. Lots of bird song and several deer.

Great spot to sleep if you're looking to be near the city. The road stays quite active at night and bug spray is a must but for the price it can't be best. Hosts were kind and accommodating!

Weekend Trip to Wine Country Lodge Main Site

Crystal and her husband were communicative, friendly and easy to work with. They have a beautiful property with a lovely view of wine country. It’s a great location for those wanting a place to relax and still be close to town. I didn’t do my due diligence and ask about the actual camping spot so I didn’t realize it would be so close to the main house. It is on a concrete pad with full hook ups which was great although as noted in the listing and photos it is next to the workshop which wasn’t being used while we were there so that wasn’t an issue. My husband is a bit more reserved and felt that we were too close to their personal space since it is just behind the main house. Other than when they greeted us upon our arrival they gave us privacy and space so it wasn’t anything they did or said it was just a matter of personal preference. They do have a turnaround loop that has plenty of space to setup if you either don’t need hookups or have long enough cord/hose so you can be further away from the main house, assuming they would be ok with that. It was our first time using Hipcamp so I wasn’t too sure what to expect. Now I know to ask more questions. Regardless this is a great spot with lovely hosts and I would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Whiskey Hill Point

We really enjoyed camping at Whiskey Point. We were not entirely sure what to expect with the new listing but were happily surprised. Porta-potty was available on site and clean. Each site had a picnic table and fire pit. We comfortably fit two large (10’ x 14’) tents while still having more than enough room for coolers, meal prep tables, and space around the fire pit. Our dog loved swimming in the river but be careful of the current. Make sure to bring plenty of water but if you forget grocery stores are not too far away. During our stay a few sites were set up but it’s clear they have more on the way. This is a fantastic property with lots of room to grow while still making sure campers have some privacy from each other.

Excellent place to park our trailer and be able to be in close proximity to Newberg. Very easy to park with a complete turnaround on their property for our 30 foot trailer. Full hooks up were so nice to have. Our girls enjoyed their puppy Pablo, who would come to visit occasionally. Amazing views and very kind hosts. Would absolutely stay here again!

Our travel trailer shows the location. Very nice paved driveway and site.
