Ruah Ranch

5 sites ¡ RVs, Tents120 acres ¡ Sublimity, OR
Ruah Ranch is situated on an old donation land claim and was also the site of nomadic Native American tribes. Abundant wildlife graces our acres as well as the beautiful Thoroughbred horses we raise. You'll likely be serenaded by coyotes in the evenings and may catch sight of them during the day.  Three different species of raptors frequent the skies above the ranch and beavers have established outposts along the stream. Beautiful thoroughbred horses will greet you every morning from their nearby pasture while you enjoy your coffee in the shade of the trellised Wisteria. Silver Falls State Park is a short drive away where you can enjoy hiking and biking and even guided horseback rides. The Oregon Gardens are just a bit further north on the outskirts of Silverton and many wineries dot the landscape all around. If you like horses we’ll be happy to give you a tour of the ranch and introduce you to the resident equines, many of which have horse racing royalty up close in their lineage.

No RV's or camper trailers! Welcome to our enchanting Outdoor Stay Area, nestled among the tall, mystical firs of McKenzie Bridge in the breathtaking McKenzie River Valley. Enjoy nature's embrace with a walk-in camp site or car camp site. Message a special request if you are seeking a group site or event booking for multiple sites or to book campsites plus indoor accomodations in the Hygge A-Frame (listed on AirBnB and VRBO). Gather around our central communal "campfire" area, adorned with rustic log benches. Cook on the swing out grill over a complementary wood fire when allowed. As summer matures, and burn bans no doubt crop up, we provide a propane campfire ring which you may enjoy between 8-10pm, until it is no longer allowed. This can occur quickly, so we request that mid-June through the first rains, please bring your own approved liquid fuel camp stove and small table to set up ON GRAVEL ONLY. Message before booking to confirm any campfire details or requests. I'm always happy to answer any questions. I live on site but generally the Outdoor Stay Area is self-serve unless I have a special request to cater. Tent sites are covered with wood chips for a comfortable night's rest. Hose water is available. As well, we've added an insulated "drinking water hose" for improved taste and water quality. During your stay explore the wealth of outdoor activities in the McKenzie River Valley, from hiking and fishing to relaxing by the river (1/2 mile walk), biking, golf, a soak in one of three hot springs in our area or visit historical sites. View waterfalls or book a white water adventure with a local guide! The area's wildlife, including deer, elk, grey fox and various bird species, provide a daily delight. If you like birds, you will adore the Swainson’s Thrush birdsong that paints the air in the mornings and evenings here. Our Outdoor Stay Area is a gateway to adventure and a haven of peace, with towering firs and lush greenery creating an enchanting atmosphere. Whether seeking solitude or company, our campsite is perfect for your retreat. By respecting guidelines and mother earth, we maintain the beauty and integrity of this special place together.

Camping in Cascadia State Park guide

Overview

About

At the meeting point of the South Santiam River and Soda Creek, with a backdrop of the Cascade Mountains, Cascadia State Park is an idyllic retreat for campers. Walk the forest trail to Soda Creek Falls, follow the 19th-century military route of Santiam Wagon Road, then picnic beneath the shade of the Douglas fir trees. There are plenty of ways to get on the water too, whether rafting along the river rapids, cooling off with a swim in the riverside swimming hole, or fishing along the river. Seasonal camping is available at Cascadia State Park Campground near the east picnic area. 

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Cascadia State Park has just 22 tent sites, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Get there early to secure your spot if camping in July and August or on holiday weekends.

When to go

Camping is only possible in Cascadia State Park during the spring and summer months, and spaces can fill up quickly, especially in the busiest months of July and August. The campground, group camping sites, and east camping area are open annually from May 1 through the end of September, the best time for water activities. Winter visitors can still make use of the year-round west picnic area.
