1 night at Northside Base Camp
Sorry, not much to review. I cancelled early, so did not do this camping trip. I guess I should have contacted Hipcamp also. I do recommend this area though. I have camped in this country for about 30 years so I know quite a bit of it. Would definitely recommend it.

The vibes of the whole place and areas to explore left us wanting more time to do so. Staying in a 100+ year old cabin was something we had never done before. Being able to bring our pup to join the ride meant a lot to us and him. This place is great, secluded, intimate, and fun.

Weekend Trip to Northside Base Camp
What an amazing place! The views of the mountains and the night sky were truly astonishing! The cabin was very comfortable with huge viewing windows that you can relax and view the scenery directly from in the cabin. I found myself getting lost in the serene view for hours.
There were four great Pyrenees dogs on site that were some of the nicest dogs I’ve seen. These gentle giants would make their rounds in the evening and come say hi as if to let you know that they’re your personal protection before doing their security sweeps at f the property. One of the dogs named, Luna, would watch over the cabins from a distance making me feel completely safe from any predators like bears or cougars.
The owners Josh and Elisha were very down to earth and hospitable and made you feel at home. It was a great place to get away from life for a while and decompress. I highly recommend this location if you’re looking for peace, quiet and majestic views.

1 night at Karibu Cabin
Nathan’s hunting cabin is absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a super secluded, extremely private, unplugged getaway. Nestled in the trees, on the most beautiful land, it’s just you and nature and all the stars you could ever hope for. The views are spectacular and the vibes are tranquil and serene. Nathan was easy to communicate with when our gps took us on a wrong turn and extremely helpful with getting us back on the right track. The cabin has propane lanterns for lighting but I suggest bringing some safe-burning candles and enjoying a romantic night in nature. We will definitely be back!

We had an absolutely phenomenal stay at this property! The cabin was cozy, the views were phenomenal, and we absolutely loved getting to do some stargazing! The fresh eggs were a nice add-on as well.
There were several knives and utensils which made cooking especially convenient. The gravel driveway is especially steep at a couple points - while we made it up and down a couple times in a Prius, I definitely would recommend 4WD to save you some anxiety haha

Weekend Trip to Northside Base Camp
This spot was idyllic. Vast views, from the comfort of an extremely well-built and well-maintained tiny cabin (1 room with everything you need- bed, stove, basic cooking supplies, water, & adorable decor). External shower was also lovely, with basic soap & towel provided. *NOTE: be comfortable driving up *very* steep gravel roads!! I think of myself as a good driver on rough terrain, but this road after a rainstorm was outside my capacity. 10/10 would stay again

Our 3 generation family really enjoyed ourselves at this cozy cabin in Eastern Oregon. Our passenger van made it through no problem on the dirt road in along with our travel trailer. The cabin was so homey, had everything we needed and the views were amazing. One night there was an amazing sunset followed by a thunderstorm which our young grandchildren loved dancing in the rain!

So quiet with a beautiful view. The two cabins share a fire pit, picnic table and then across the hill an outhouse and interesting shower. Be aware the dirt driveway is super steep. I would highly recommend this glamping location!

I bookmarked this camp last year, but did not have time to visit it until now. (Yes, I will plan trips around a nice Hipcamp!) This exceeded my expectations and there were so many charming touches. Comfy bed, quiet secluded cabin, propane cook stove worked great, beautiful campfire set up we used both nights (only when fire danger is low-I would not expect to be able to have a fire later in summer) The views of the Strawberry Mtns are incredible. We loved watching the weather roll in. Nice outhouse and gorgeous bathhouse. Was a treat to meet Bruno, the doggo! Would stay again if in the area! A couple notes: the gravel drive is very steep in some spots and personally, would not attempt this without AWD or 4WD. The other note is that this region can be COLD and bring extra warm clothes and blanket just in case.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed in eastern Oregon. The panoramic view of the Strawberry Mountains is hard to beat and unforgettable. Elisha and Josh are fantastic hosts who go above and beyond to make your stay worthwhile. Definitely will be coming back if in the area. One thing to note, be sure you have a vehicle with good traction. The dirt road up the hills is steep. Once you reach your destination it’s a dream!

Weekend Trip to Northside Base Camp
This was a really great place for us to retreat after a long day of outdoor activities. The amenities and decor were thoughtfully arranged. BUT THE VIEW…WOW. You can have your morning coffee in bed, on the deck, or in an Adirondack chair and look out on Strawberry Mountain. This is a really special place.

It was wonderful staying in such a cozy cabin deep in the forest surrounded by 160 acres of private forest land! I saw plenty of wildlife including a herd of elk, and deer and even a black bear during my 5 night stay! The view of Fox valley was incredible to wake up to and fall asleep to each day! I am thankful for the opportunity to spend time in such a place and only wish I could have stayed longer!

Amazing views, centrally located to many outdoor activities. Host were very warm and available should have needed anything. Cozy cabins (comfortable beds) with plenty of space and cooking amenities for overnight stays, food nearby as well. Nice firepit and outdoor area to soak in the views and relax. Even the outhouse had an amazing view! I would highly recommend a two-day stay because there's so much to see in the John Day area, which is so close in terms of driving.

Amazing glamping experience! The cabin is remote, yet there is a town close with gas and a grocery store if you need anything. Elisha and Josh were amazing hosts who are knowledgeable about the area, stocked the cabin with the essentials, and are super responsive to questions or needs. Highly recommend this Hipcamp lodging!

I am so glad I stumbled upon Elisha’s beautiful cabins! If you’re traveling from Idaho to Oregon or vice versa, consider adding this to your itinerary! Magical views of the Strawbarry mountain range and remote enough to feel like you’re in your own little world. That was enough for me- but the cabin was a plus. I will definitely be coming back again! Such kind and responsive hosts!
