Lots of plants, trees and bird watching. We can not offer the use of the fire pit at this time due to fire hazards and smoke. *House residents do use the separate upper porch/deck attached to the main house and VERY occasionally the composting toilet and bathroom sink to wash hands.

Our farm is a very special place in the heart of Portland. We have been farming continuously for 5 generations, since 1880! Our farm has seen many changes around us in such an urban setting. We focus on best sustainability practices as well as giving our local community access to agriculture. Sharing the land with fellow hipcampers helps us stay in business as well as continue to foster our positive impacts in the local community.

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. Stuart and Anita

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.
