This is the BEST stop on a cross Oregon road trip. Just 3 miles from I84 a peaceful and calm respite from freeway driving. Way better than the 2 nearby state campgrounds I’m my opinion. A beautiful clean pit toilet in a cute outhouse. If you are ok with dry camping ( we love it) this is the place to be. Never tried the cabin but there was a writer there getting time away. Campsite was flat, picnic table helpful, occasional car on the forest road behind us but nothing bothersome. Mark is a great host. Very responsive, flexible, helpful with questions. Thanks again Mark!!

Woke up to wild flowers everywhere
We were on the home stretch of a long campervan road trip and needed a place for the night. Loved the instant book option and easy to follow directions. There was just a bit of highway noise but it didn’t stop us from enjoying camp, making dinner after dark and then a nice campfire. When dawn hit, we saw the clearing that extended below the land was covered in wild flowers due to the uncharacteristically wet spring in eastern Oregon. Will definitely use this stop again.

This is a beautiful, forested site, off the beaten path, yet not so far as to add lots of extra driving time to your travels. Read the directions to the campsite carefully. It's best to have Google Maps help navigate to the site. Take it slow on the dirt road. When we were there, rain had left pot holes, GIANT and NUMEROUS potholes in the road. The dappled sunlight and shadows through the trees made some of them difficult to see until we were in them.
Mark was super friendly and helpful. He had found morel mushrooms in the woods around the campsite and shared them with us. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great view of the night sky
This site is next to 2 cabins and an outhouse. We camped in a Honda Element and finding a level spot was a little challenging but there were braces provided to put under the tires. The night sky was clear and the view of the rising moon was great. We didn't have a fire due to the state fire ban. Hosts were in the cabin next door and were friendly. Very quiet, peaceful.

Great spot for overnight camping
Great spot to camp overnight. No light pollution.

Fantastic spot!!!
A perfectly serene spot that is incredibly only 3 miles off the freeway. Felt like we were somewhere much deeper in the woods. We had our 17 ft camper and Jeep. It was easy to navigate and the views were fantastic. There aren’t any hook ups but we knew that going in. Host was extremely kind. I would HIGHLY recommend this site.

This was an okay spot for a last minute booking. Location was pretty nice but the camp spot was not great. Dusty with lots of machinery and recreational items laying around the property. Would have been nice to have them behind a fence so as to not look at.

Thanks so much! Very thorough directions and checked in with me before I arrived to assure I knew how to get there. Cool spot, leveling blocks worked great for my truck, thanks!

Perfect for us
Fabulous spot. Directions perfect. Mark helpful, attentive making sure we arrived safely and got in. Only ones there midweek. Did need levelers for teardrop which we had (and mark also provided if needed). Mild freeway noise at times but given proximity not surprised. Wonderful break on long road trip. Oh, and thanks for loan of corkscrew Mark!!! Saved us…

Beautiful views
Beautiful and secluded site. There were great views. Had a storm come through with a lot of lightening and thunder which was exciting. But peaceful site.

Quiet mountain setting
Nice mountain setting 3 miles up a gravel road from the highway. It has the feel of remoteness and it is quiet (ni highway noise). This Hipcamp camping spot is next to 2 rental cabins that share a nice, clean, large 'outhouse'/pit toilet. The actual camping spot is not level but some leveling blocks are provided.

Nice travel stop for the night
Being Memorial Day weekend and traveling between WA and CO I wanted a reserved tent site away from a public campground and chose Mark’s. The site was as described (primitive) and had a forest view. There is a fire ring with a few cut logs to sit on and a small canopy to block overhead sun. Have a 10’x10’ (to be able to stand up) for larger pads and 7’x7’ for smaller areas. Used smaller tent and it covered the bark pad but could have made the larger one work.
There is a rentable cabin on site but the guests were quieter than a busy campground with dumpster lids banging.
It’s located in a NF and there were lots of RV’s camped in open spots on the road in. Mark’s site is far enough in to avoid them. About three miles off I-84 made it convenient for a travel stop.
Yes I would stay there again.

No-frills but truly a special spot. Bring firewood. Enjoy the array of stars!

Peaceful spot, not great for campin
Mark was a great host, and the property was peaceful and pretty. Directions were good, and the place was easy to find. My only complaint regards tent camping. There wasn't a very level place to pitch my tent, and I wish that would have been communicated better. Maybe there is a level spot that I just missed, but it should be made clear for tent campers. Other than that, the place was lovely and reasonably priced.

Basic campsite that was easy to get to off the highway. Perfect place to crash on our way to Utah. Campsite was next to cabins on a pretty property.

Above expectations!
Wow! This listing was amazing and I’m wondering if the cabins on the land are available for rent as well! This was my second Hipcamp as I traveled from visiting my folks in Colorado back to Oregon and I was blown away and apprehensive after my first one. It was private and so quiet. I felt super safe and loved the accommodations like a self composting toilet! Conveniently located off the 84! My dog absolutely loved the open area for a lot of zooms after spending 16 hours in the car. I really want to come back and rent one of the cabins- if they are available.

Unique in a great way!
The High Road was a great place to camp. We setup a tent in the dark so were unaware of the great view that awaited us in the morning. Really lovely!
Mark's directions were great - it's an interesting place to find. His communication was fantastic. We needed to get in late and he was really responsive to our messages.
We'll be back for sure.

AMAZING!!
This location is amazing and Mark was extremely communicative. The directions were perfect, and he even sent a video of the path to ensure we could find our way. We will absolutely be back here again, but be aware the road is a bit bumpy. We took our tear drop trailer to his site with no problems, but had to go slow as Mark suggested. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!!!

Great spot to camp
Our family had a wonderful experience sleeping in the open under the stars watching the Perseids meteor show. The location was rustic and well described in the Hipcamp information. We can't wait to return as we missed out on the nearby fishing hole. Mark was incredibly supportive and helpful.

Road trip Overnight
Great place to spend the night during a road trip. Stars were amazing on a clear night and I enjoyed watching some deer graze on the hill side at dusk. Very pleasant and quiet.
