I am going to be in early this year because of the lack of snow. I am going in March 22nd. I have taken the block off of the Gers and the camp sites. Once the gate is unlocked I will post it here that the gate is infact unlocked. We could still get some snow so communicate with me in the messages before you make a booking. 8 campsites and 2 original Mongolian Gers. The season for the camp sites is from June 1st to end of Sept and the Gers for 2025/2026 winter are blocked out from Nov 15/25 to May 15/26. Pets allowed, toilets on site, campfires permitted when burn ban is not in place. Now up until this year I have provided Free Firewood. I have quit doing that for a variety of reasons, the least being the cost and the work for me. I am encouraging everyone to purchase a Propane Fire Pit if you don't have one by now. I am not to the point yet of saying no big dogs. Talk to me if you think your "big dog" might not fit in. I don't like them running thru other campers sites, so just be respectful. Take them for walks along the lake.. No Yappers, no barking dogs, no pain in the butts. Why would you drive by 46 grocery stores and forget to bring ice? No loud music. I have changed quiet time to 9:00 PM. If you need to listen to the chaos/stressful music I suggest you start a band or become a DJ. What I want folks to get out of being here, whether they are camping or staying in the Gers is just to “take a break”. Relax, appreciate, assess and just listen. I hope what you hear is the sound of life and of course all the Angels that make up this special piece of Heaven. Then there is the silence. The best part of “Heaven”.

National forest 37mi from Silver Lake · 534 sites
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.

42mi from Silver Lake · 1 site · Tent, RV
A secluded, dry campsite set on a private one-acre clearing among tall lodgepole pines in the Mount Scott Meadows area. Thoughtfully simple and intentionally unpolished, this space offers a quieter, more refined alternative to traditional campgrounds. Just 45 minutes from the north entrance of Crater Lake National Park, it’s perfectly positioned for both destination travelers and those passing through along Highway 97 in search of a peaceful, restorative stop. There are no designated pads or crowded rows here. Pitch your tent wherever feels right and settle into the rhythm of the forest. It’s camping, but with breathing room. No noise, no congestion, just open space and the soft hush of the trees. Whether you’re using it as a basecamp for Crater Lake or choosing to stay in and fully unplug, the experience is intentionally minimal, grounded, and calm. This is a fully self-guided stay. We are off-site, allowing for a seamless and independent arrival. All essential details will be shared in advance, with minimal communication by design, so you can enjoy an uninterrupted, more authentic connection to the landscape.
