Camp Ashland is over a mile high away from the heat of summer and can be your mountain retreat from the city or an overnight stop from a long drive. Feel refreshed with a hot shower, cold drinking water, and clear mountain air. We invite you to begin a challenging series of mountain bike trails and beautiful vistas nearby on Mount Ashland for a weekend getaway or family outing. Our camp is the closest private gateway to the 7530 ft peak of Mount Ashland in Southern Oregon! Camp Ashland is easily accessible near the Oregon / California border via Interstate 5, Exit 6, and is on the left side of the road, just past the 5-mile marker on Mount Ashland Ski Road. The camp entrance is 500 feet from the Pacific Crest Trail and a short 1/2 mile walk or drive by a private road to the campground. The road is a little primitive due to some erosion from heavy snow this winter, but drivable by 2WD with care ( 5 MPH PLEASE!). There are scenic views of magnificent Mount Shasta on a south-facing slope from the top of the property. The Siskiyou and Klamath Mountains are famous for some of the richest biodiversity and are home to several native plants that exist nowhere else in the world. Thank you for helping to protect this place by observing our no-campfire rules. We are happy to provide our guests with a Japanese-style outdoor shower facing Pilot Rock, with eco-friendly tea-tree body wash and shampoo, fresh water at a community kitchen and grill for meal prep, a portable toilet sanitized weekly, bear-proof trash receptacle, horseshoes, a misting station, and local hiking adventures throughout most of our 120 acres and beyond. Thanks to your feedback, we are installing a small playground in 2024 for the young at heart. A small year-round stream, a pristine riparian environment, cold mountain water, and a charming little waterfall are waiting for you to discover at the end of the trail near a quaint cabin here at Camp Ashland.  We call the water feature "da Vinci Falls," named after Leonardo da Vinci, who once said,    "When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come." There are about 3 miles of private roads for hiking and adventure, but please stay on the existing roads if you are bike riding to protect this magical place. The Klamath National Forest sits below and beside the property for unencumbered access to an additional 1.7 million acres of wilderness. Campsites are not pre-assigned so "FIRST COME - FIRST SERVE". You may see grouse, turkeys, quail, pheasant, deer, fox, bears, elk, squirrels, chipmunks, fishers, porcupines, frogs, and other flora and fauna unique to this area. Beautiful views of the Milky Way and the stars at night without light or noise pollution. You may also enjoy nature walks, stunning scenic vistas, and hiking all within a short 15-minute drive to the city of Ashland, Oregon, for great restaurants, the Britt Festival, the Schneider Art Museum, art galleries, local shops, and a farmers market.  To arrange a shuttle service for mountain biking adventures, contact Ashland Mountain Adventures. Don’t miss the historic Mount Ashland ski lodge and enjoy a meal or beverage at the Granite Grill Cafe, just three miles up the road from camp.

Nicely secluded campsite, amenities (port-a-potty, sink, etc) were a nice touch - especially the hot outdoor shower. Was able to get a low-clearance (5in) 2WD vehicle down the access road in late August, but definitely was bumpy and felt a little risky, had to stop once to move some large rocks out of the way. Enjoyable stay!

Camp Ashland was a great place to unwind after our drive up from the Bay Area. We hiked down the road to unwind and took a refreshing outdoor shower when we returned. Cool air and peaceful surroundings made for a wonderful stay.

The camp is super quiet and peaceful, a million stars at night, lots of space - the kids had a blast. Dan the host is the nicest guy ever, there is a cool forest hike down to springs and waterfalls. We loved our stay.

We loved our 5 days tent camping at Dan's beautiful Camp Ashland. The location was perfect. It was in the 90s in the valley, but always comfortable up on the mountain at Camp Ashland. Only 15-20 minutes from Ashland. We hiked and mountain biked on Mt. Ashland, paddleboarded on the Rogue, spent the day at Lake of the Woods and even caught a play - all in easy distance. Campsites 1 & 2 are the best - located right by the hot outdoor shower and sink. Plenty of space to spread out. This is a very quiet location that is a perfect retreat - and Dan is an excellent host! Highly recommend!
