Secluded private site centrally located just a mile from Interstate 5 off of exit #11, and 6 miles from the Interstate 5 / Hwy 205 intersection so most places in Clark County are less that 20 minutes away.
Please Input 23102 NE 3rd Avenue into your GPS. Clicking the link on the Hipcamp map will bring you here with an Androuid device, but send you to a gated community West of us on an Apple device.
Located 5 minutes from the Amphitheater, 10 minutes from Ilani Casino, and less than 30 minutes from some of the nicest freshwater lakes around.
This is a secluded, Park Like property with walking trails all the way around it, and some interesting things for kids to spot, especially up Fairy Lane. Walking access is permitted, but you must keep pets on leash and keep an eye on your kids.
In the dry season, typically May through the end of September, fires are not allowed, and please USE EXTREME CAUTION IF YOU CHOOSE TO SMOKE ONSITE. If you are one of those who just tosses your butts in the underbrush, you will be asked to leave for the safety of our property and guests. There is no smoking allowed inside the cabin, bathroom, or anywhere near the sawmill, or any area North of it.
There is a public bathroom in the middle of the property beside the tree fort. It's well lit and open 24 hours a day. It has a flush toilet and a hot water sink and a HOT shower. * PLEASE NOTE To keep from freezing, the instant hot water heater is disconnected, and hot water, and hot showers ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM NOV 15TH TO MAR 1ST. Cold water to flush the toilets and wash your hands is available all year. You can use the discount code NOHOT To reduce your booking rate during those times
We try to keep rules to a minimum, but people seem to find creative ways to cause issues. Please park outside the yellow gate in the parking areas noted on the map. Please park on gravel and DON'T DRIVE OFF THE GRAVEL ROADS ONTO THE GRASS. Anita hates it, as you can cause a fire in the summer, and leave muddy ruts in the wet seasons. If you're driving through the trees, you're doing something wrong.
There is plenty of wildlife on the property especially in the couple hours before dark. Best place to spot deer, racoons, porcupines and beaver are down near the pond.
Enjoy your stay.

Cozy Hillside Yurt with Sunset Views Near Portland
Hi there! We're pretty new to HipCamp but not to this property. We're beyond thrilled to finally open up and share this special place with you! We're perched on a serene hillside in the lush Pacific Northwest, this cozy yurt offers the perfect blend of rustic retreat and modern-day adventure. We’re so happy to share our peaceful 1.5-acre hillside retreat with thoughtful, nature-loving glampers.
Looking to unplug, reconnect with the land, and enjoy a unique Pacific Northwest escape, or maybe just a getaway from the city but only 20 minutes from downtown? Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, solo forest recharge, or your first glamping adventure—this truly is the place for you.
Nestled into a forested slope, our cozy yurt offers beautiful sunset views, solitude, and the calming presence of towering evergreens. You’ll feel worlds away, but we’re just 20 minutes from downtown Portland, where you can explore award-winning restaurants, breweries, music, and art. We’re also 10 minutes from Sauvie Island—perfect for berry picking, farm stands, swimming, and riverside strolls—and only a few minutes' drive to Forest Park, with miles of hiking trails winding through one of the country’s largest urban forests.
You’ll have the yurt and surrounding space all to yourself. It’s a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path hideaway ideal for those seeking rest, reflection, and a deeper connection with the land.
Please take note to the dropping temperatures of autumn - be prepared for cooler nights and dress appropriately, the yurt is not heated.
Just steps away is our ¼-acre working herb farm (guided plant I.D. tours are available upon request for a small fee), where we cultivate a variety of medicinal plants using organic and sustainable practices. We also offer optional guided walks through the herb farm and surrounding forest for those interested in plant identification, wildcrafting, or the foundations of herbalism.
We can't wait to share this incredible place with you! See you soon.
*All additional options ( herbal farm tour, and morning coffee) are available upon request.

Learn more about this land:
It sits upon a meadow with surrounding trees and a cow pasture in the distance. Spring time offers a small pond (please see below), but the Lewis river is close by with tons of recreational activities (swimming, fishing, hiking, wineries, etc.). There is only one site so there is a lot of privacy (there used to be two so some of the pictures show the older site right by the pond). It is a rural property with both farms AND residential homes/Airbnbs along the river and surrounding area. Town is not far (six miles) to get supplies and the Heisson convenience store is less than a mile away. It's perfect for a quick trip out of town for a day or two or just a quick and safe stop in your travels.
This a beautiful property and I enjoy sharing it, please be mindful of the rules. Quiet hours start at 10 PM until 8 AM. *This winter was tough, lots of wind, so some trees fell, but they are all cleaned up and lots of small trees were planted. Can't wait until they grow to help for more privacy!!!
Please, read the site description carefully! There is NO electricity or plumbing at the site but there is a composting bucket toilet with seat and lid in a private tent (so if you are a large tent group you may want to consider bringing another camp toilet as there is only one available). YOU MUST PACK OUT ALL WASTE.
There is a BPA safe hose for water at the top of the hill for your use (I usually have it on but if not please feel free to message me, and if you don't want to wait for a reply please feel free to knock on my door).
This site can accommodate a large group, please see the prices when reserving. (It can fit up to five RVs but keep in mind it's dry camping other than having access to potable water.) It is also perfect for just one person or a couple looking for some privacy.
I LOVE Dogs and they are most welcome, and may be off leash for a run in the field, however, they MUST have high recall. Please be mindful of my own dogs and chickens down below so please do not let them go beyond your site or the field when using.
*We plan on making the pond to be a swim pond that will hold water all year long (the creek that runs into it is seasonal so it dries out depending on how much rain we get in any given year).

Parking is separate from the campground! It is a brief but steep 1/4 mile hike to get to the main campground and latrine. Bring hiking shoes and pack light. It takes most people 5-15 minutes to hike up, depending on fitness level and load size . If you want to car camp, you will be next to a road and separate from the latrine and fire pit.
Enjoy several short trails on the camp's property before heading to Forest Park's
Wildwood Trail, which is just up the street, or check out all of the incredible natural and urban nearby attractions in Portland.
We are about 20 minutes away Portland's International Rose Test Garden , The Oregon Zoo, and Pittock Mansion
Or just swing lazily in a hammock under the trees and enjoy the sound of the forest coming to

Enjoy the sounds of nature when you stay in the Shire, with both sunrise field views and sunset forest views. Snuggle up for evening relaxation, or drink coffee while you spot the native birds. Far enough away from town, but close enough to drive 5min for delicious choices in local restaurants, wineries and taprooms. Also close by 10/15mins are activities like golf, horseback riding, hiking, waterfalls, swimming, festivals, and escape rooms.

This is nice rv pad at our house where we live when we are not traveling. When we are gone, we rent the main house as a furnished rental when are traveling. We also rent our furnished studio apartment above the garage on airbnb or furnished Finder. This is a nice neighborhood only 10-15 minutes to downtown Portland!

I had the most lovely stay here. The hosts are incredibly kind and generous. As a woman traveling alone it meant a lot to me to be received with open arms. The animals are so sweet and the land is stunning. This is a 10/10 hipcamp experience! And the hot tub was a surprise bonus on a cold October day. Thank you thank you 🙏

Great place to stay! Super responsive host. The space was very welcoming and private. Our dogs loved it. Lots of useful things like the propane stove, string lights, and washing station. Hike up is short, but definitely steep. We will be back!

Will definitely be coming back! Definitely in the city and right by apartments, but still a hidden gem that is worth it. Loved waking up to the goats and even with a wedding happening had privacy for camping.

Weekend Trip to ART CAN Airstream + Sauna!
Gino's place was very cozy. Well decorated, packed with amenities and convenient. The bikes were a nice touch for shorter trips. Even though the temperature dropped at night, the heaters provided kept us warm through the night! Location was great, quiet neighborhood but close to many cafes and restaurants. We were provided with some nice recommendations as well. Would love to stay again!

Beautiful place to stay with the grapes and the goats.  The hot shower was a welcomed amenity. You are definitely in the middle of the city, but it worked well for us to need to be near the airport. I would definitely stay again.

This place seems great for groups, I just went solo for one night. Definitely underestimated the hike to the site but it’s doable! It was pretty steep and gravel can be slippery going down so be mindful of what you bring to avoid multiple trips. It’s secluded enough but you can still hear cars and an occasional plane at night. Loved the outhouse and the many amenities included. I would definitely come back with a group of people!
