Tadpole Manor, lies between Eugene OR & the Pacific 1/2 mile off of Highway 36. A working farm, community resource, art house and retreat. Deadwood is a valley of artists, farmers, loggers & real home town folks: stay, be pampered, see real abundance, like ole times. Tour the local farms, go to the beach, see the slides at Triangle Lake, breathe, learn, and just be. Seasonally there is apple pressing, blueberry and raspberry picking, and a Sunday Farmers Market in Deadwood. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent at our secluded site! Listen to the sounds of the stream as you explore our food forest and forage in the garden. Tadpole Manor is part of a new culture of sharing, trust, abundance and kindness. Our home is on a few acres of land, amongst trees, alongside a year-round creek. We have cats, dogs, and chickens that will share the land with you. Cook your meals in our communal outdoor kitchen or with your own camp stove.  Take a dip in the creek. There is a central fire pit, a cobb oven, rocket stove and BBQ grill too. Explore local farms and if you aren't in the mood to cook, the Deadwood Tavern and General Store is 5 miles west.  The Sunday Farmers Market (11-2) has fresh produce, baked goods, and local crafts.  There may be goat milk and cheese,  Meet the locals who live in this eclectic community  of Deadwood in the Siuslaw River Watershed. Here is  a snapshot of my long term PHILOSOPHY  of my land.  Especially apt at this time.    It is an essay I found in a WeMoon 2009  Calendar and was attributed to "anonymous":    SANCTUARY Resting place, a stop on the current- underground railroad for today’s earth activists. This is a place where wanderers, weary or not, can light for a while, tell their stories, get their hands in the garden dirt,or sit in silence. Because of the current political climate, these kinds of safe places are becoming increasingly important for those who tread the path of change-invokers and rabble-rousers. For many, the choice to be an activist means being without a permanent home. This is a place for those who have chosen the Gypsy’s road to ground, reconnect to Mother Earth, recharge so they can go out into the world again with renewed inspiration, energized to do the vital work of steering the world onto a healthier path. Warm beds,private space, healthy food, patience. These are our contributions for making positive change in the world.

We had a wonderful stay! It’s a perfect location with lots of privacy and access to places such as Kentucky Falls and Florence beach. There were no internet coverage so that made it even more special to be present and enjoy the fresh blackberries! Thank you so much!

Divinely perfect nature retreat
My stay at Sophia’s was blissfully divine! The land is incredibly abundant and beautiful! The stream is delightful and the gentle babbling water and night critter sounds bring a peaceful sleep! Private and feels secluded. Sophia is an absolute dream hostess! Did not want to leave!

Gorgeous property -- absolutely magical! The property had a lovely warmth in contrast with the harsh winds of the coast. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the babbling brook -- and wow, the stars were absolutely spectacular. I've never seen so many stars -- including the milky way. And if there on a Sunday, I recommend the little farmers market a few miles away. I would definitely go back to this space (even though we managed to drive over some tent stakes and had to replace six tires...) Absolutely divine space!

It was beautiful 😍. The hosts were lovely; very down to earth and helpful. My only critique would be the toilet available to campers. Though it was a clean and comfortable compostable toilet, it was placed directly next to the path campers take to go to and from their vehicles (very close!). This placement made toilet access feel uncomfortable, since there was no door and the only divider was a sheet-like curtain that was difficult to keep closed. Despite this, the property is beautiful. Charming creekside.

Private and cozy
This was my first hipcamp experience and overall it was great. The host Sophia was very sweet and we were greeted by her border collies and cats as described. Pros: The land is surrounded in delicious blackberries that made a great addition to our morning oatmeal and we had a quiet back part of the land which was private and cozy. There is a communal area with a wash sink, complimentary water gallon, a hose and a small creek. There is also a very clean compost toilet. Cons: This is a farm with chickens and a rooster - the rooster wakes up very early which is a bummer after spending long days hiking, however the host did say she could take care of it for us so if this is an issue, let her know before hand. There is also no cell service here in either direction for at least a half hour which may or may not bother you, depends on what you are going for. The creek is not something I would swim in but maybe it is ok for others? It is a bit of a drive to go anywhere cool, 45 to an hour, but we managed to check out Sweet Creek Falls, Heceta Beach, Heceta Head Lighthouse and John Dellenback Dunes and we used the long drives to charge our electronics. There is also a short walk (under a min) to your site through a bumpy trail, which taught me that I need to look for "park at listing" for future bookings since we mostly camp out of our car. Happy Camping!
