Mountain View Escape Camp is the setting to get outside and connect with nature and enjoy our spectacular view of the cascade mountains. Grab your favorite book and relax in our heavy-duty comfortable swing built for two and listen to the sound of the beautiful birds. We also have several benches for you to enjoy by the trees on our small two-acre lot. It's not uncommon to see deer and bald eagles. During your stay enjoy a day filled with yard games including a volleyball grass court, designated Bocce Ball Court, Corn Hole, Darts, Horseshoe Pit, or a nature walk not far from your campsite. Off our property but fairly close you can go for a swim, fishing, tubing, rafting, boating, waterski, or take a tour of the fish hatchery. The Santiam River is only 1/2 mile away and home to some of the best Salmon, Steelhead and Trout fishing. It's not uncommon for groups to go down the Santiam River in rafts or tubes. We're happy to suggest guides for scheduled rafting trips. 38 miles to Big Lake. 36 miles to Hoodoo ski resort. 33 miles to Silver Creek Falls the largest state park in Oregon with over 9000 acres, over 24 miles of hiking trails, 10 waterfalls, horse trails and a 4-mile bike path. 33 miles to Marion Forks Fish Hatchery, 11 miles to 400-foot-deep Detroit Lake, 1 mile to a secluded fishing pond. 1.5 miles to epic hiking at Monument Peak with 12 miles of trails. Numerous trails are also close to your campsite. 3.6 miles to one of the best pizza places in Oregon. 3.2 miles to Rosie's Coffee House, which are famous for their scones, smoothies and coffee. Kid and animal friendly. We recommend animals be on a leash.We have a 3-acre property where you can pitch your tent in our country-style yard. You'll have your own fire pit with a mountain view of the Cascade Mountains. Located on the north side of highway 22, just a couple blocks off the highway, it's a serene spot with minimal noise. The campsite spans 1 acre offering options to pitch your tent either between two trees near the smaller campfire, on the mats by the larger one or feel free to pitch your tent anywhere in the yard. Portable toilets and potable water are available, with a trough for additional water needs. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, trash can, and a complimentary bundle of firewood along with a fire starter. Extra firewood is available for purchase. This drive-in site is approximately 20 yards from your campsite, with a wheelbarrow provided for convenience. Portable toilets are situated about 30 yards away. Well-behaved pets are welcome but must be leashed and cleaned up after. We have two dogs in a fenced area, and a hot wire fence ensures they won't disturb your stay.

Slice of heaven

I loved camping at Mary’s! I slept great, it’s so quiet there. There are so many games to play and cozy spots to relax and look out at the amazing view. Really nice big fire pit and grate for cooking. There is a bbq too. This spot is so close to some gorgeous river and lake spots to explore. Mary and her husband have done a great job setting up their land so they can share it with travelers and hip campers.

Extremely helpful, accommodating, and friendly! We can not say enough good things about our stay. There was running water from the hose that would could use. Outdoor grill with Propane, plenty of games and even a few nearby hiking trails. I wish we would have planned for more time for all the activities nearby. 10/10 would recommend!

Hidden gem

We had a blast at this hidden gem. The sites could easily hold 8 people, so my son and I had so much space! They greeted us with cold water and there was a cooler next to each site. The view was amazing and so peaceful. The local fishing spots were perfect, getting to Detroit for paddle boarding only took us 15 min and my son enjoyed his horse back ride that the Norm offered.
