When you think of clean water, what do you see ? Prepare to be spellbound by the otherworldly colors and lucidity of the wild and scenic Smith River. Enjoy peace and tranquility while swimming in your own exclusive, private swimming hole. You may see four point bucks crossing the river, otters playing along the rocky banks and black bear gorging berry bushes while birds, ducks and dragonflys abound. This quasi resort provides a quaint, off grid tiny house with everything you need to feel comfortable but it is not The Four Seasons Hotel. The 1.5 quiet, secluded acres is detached from a world of artifical stimulation and crowds and is ideal for a couples getaway or small families. Entertainment is provided by means of a covered porch to observe the true residents: the wildlife.

The Redwoods Bend Retreat is a place to get away from it all. Located on the Yurok reservation right on the Klamath River just outside Orick, CA, we are "off the grid", through a Redwood forest and over a mountain down into the Klamath River valley. We have a 5 acre meadow, and orchard with 50 trees, peaches pears, apples, cherries, plums, pluots, apricots and grapes. We are right on the Klamath river. It's a great place to come and recharge your internal batteries. There is no cellphone service and none of our sites have internet service.
Our Main House was built in 1952 and retains the flavor of the 50’s. It houses a kitchen, dining hall, a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom with a bathtub and shower.
Our log-built Lodge overlooks the Klamath River with 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, bathroom and wrap-around covered porch.
Our Pumpkin and Blue Cottages. They are close to the double Yellow Shower house and toilets, and they have hot and cold running water, a propane cooktop, and a wood stove for heat. We do NOT have refrigeration, and our solar batteries or generator provides us lights at night. Campers who use our Cottages may use their own sleeping bags, but we have beds with mattresses and pillows and clean bedding. We also have an Upper Barn bedroom and half-bath rental.
Our two-story Riverview Yurt appeals to folks who want a full kitchen, a private shower and flush toilet overlooking the Klamath river from our 50 x 50 foot upper deck. Luscious to sit outside and watch the river flow by during the day, and to let the water lull you to sleep at night. For families (up to 8), folks who like to fish, or old friends who just want a very special get-away.
Each of our six campsites have a picnic table and a fire pit. Our Maple River, Grotto River and Pepperwood River sites overlook the gorgeous Klamath River. Our Morning Meadow, Orchard Meadow, and Deer Meadow sites are close to our 5 acre meadow where blacktail deer graze in the evenings.
We have a Yellow double Shower House with two separate sides, each with a toilet, sink and shower and on demand hot water, so folks don't have to wait. There's also a new Camp Shower at the corner of the orchard for our campers, along with two outhouses for camper use, one at the bottom of the road down to the meadow, and another in the woods just past Deer Meadow Camp.
We see lots of wildlife; silver foxes, a bald eagle and a family of river otters downstream, vultures, blue heron, occasionally an osprey will fly overhead clutching a freshly caught salmon and call to each other to brag about it! There are rare sightings of timid black bears who run from humans, but sometimes can be seen grazing in the meadow with the black-tail deer.
We're surrounded by old logging trails made by the lumber companies 80 years ago when they clear cut the old growth redwood on our side of the mountain, and now it's completely reforested with 200 ft tall Doug Fir, Madrone, Cedar, Oak, other pine species and Pepper wood trees, and we have written permission from the Green Diamond company to allow guest to hike on their adjacent properties.

For groups looking to gather, we also offer private bookings for retreats, workshops, reunions, celebrations, and other meaningful events. With beautiful gathering spaces, overnight accommodations, and room to spread out, Whisper Canyon Ranch is an unforgettable place to bring people together.
🌿 The Experience
Slow mornings with a cup of coffee. Afternoons exploring the forest or cooling off in the pool. Evenings around the fire beneath a sky full of stars.

Cornerstone Ranch is a pristine Ranch of about 500 acres on the Rogue River and against the Pacific Ocean offering too many experiences to count. You can even bring your horse...Located at 94589 N. Bank Rogue River Road i Gold Beach.
FYI, Hipcamps map for site locations is not correct. Two go next to the driveway and the other four follow the creek.
From the South GPS is very accurate to our driveway. Coming from the North, GPS may drop you a few driveways away as that is the property line. Keep driving about another 1/8th mile until you see the large red "Cornerstone Ranch" sign. That is our driveway. Welcome...
The ranch offers 7 different campsites and a Cabin. Campfires are allowed (outside of burn bans), and there is a flush toilet in off season and additional Port-A-Potties during the summer on site as well.
Reviews from guests: "During the night we could hear Elk and the nearby nature! When we woke up we got to visit with the horses, use the really clean port-potty, and chat with Bonnie and Chris the Hosts. They have tons of recommendations, but our favorite was the Indian creek cafe across the river. The areas so great and clean and the host cares about their guests! Would recommend!"

The Fairy Forest is 4 acres of redwood trees one mile from the magical city of Trinidad, CA. People have been camping in our meadow since the 1950's, and I'm happy to carry on the tradition, by opening it up to you. There was a fire on the property in 1901 which left the burnt out hollow stumps which you'll see by the shower. There's one old growth redwood on the property, behind the glampy tent, but everything else in roughly 120 years old. Every year we try to make your glamping experience better and better. This year, we've added an artisan picnic table, built on site, and some solar lights leading to the shower. Outdoor sink and cook space is next on our list! There used to be two campsites on our property, but we closed down one of them to give guests in the glampy tent exclusive usage of the outdoor shower and porta potty. We are also renting out our cabin this year, which has been our home for the last 3 years.
There's 10 local beaches to explore in the area, great little restaurants and businesses, and countless trails- including Strawberry Rock, which is right down the street from us. We're 19 miles away from Orick, which is the gateway to Fern Canyon (make a reservation in advance) and all the trails with old growth redwoods. And we're 16 miles from Arcata, a vibrant, colorful and creative city that is home to the first farmer's market in California, which is quite the experience if you find yourself here on a Saturday.
Hope you come and stay with us if you find yourself on the Lost Coast.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Riverfront Camp: 12 Acres
This was the most perfect idyllic camp spot ever! Having your own little chunk of paradise complete with a stream and a sweet protection dog?! It doesn’t really get any better than that. Oh wait… It does! You also have a big comfy bed and a hot shower! While camping, those two things just really hit the spot after a long day. And as a solo female camper, having protection dogs all around, made me feel extra safe and that alone is worth it to me. The added little touches of crystals, coloring books , and fresh flowers made it feel so cozy! I couldn’t have set up a better camp spot myself. Honestly, I could go on and on. Just book it. You won’t be disappointed.

Weekend Trip to Azalea River
New favorite stop along the drive from Portland to Arcata! We felt so cozy at this comfy, secluded cabin getaway, and absolutely loved the private access to the amazing, crystal clear Smith river. Waking up (on the very nice bed) and sipping coffee overlooking the water was the perfect start to the day, and then making our way down to soak and sunbathe with the dragonflies whizing by as the sun came out was just icing on top. The portapotty was clean (and you can use it with the door open as it is so private there), just be mindful of critters rummaging about along the way after dark! We encountered a skunk but just kept some distance and there was no trouble. Recommend doing the extended checkout window--well worth it for the extra time by the river. The host was super nice, and patient as well as we were departing a bit late. We will be so happy to return again ASAP! 💚

What a gem! A beautiful off-grid cabin overlooking the Smith River. Cabin is cozy, has electricity. Perfect sized kitchen. Upstairs mattress is super comfy. Downstairs is an IKEA futon. Quiet, private personal swimming hole that's down a steep, rocky path. You can tell this land and cabin are beloved by the owner.
If you're familiar with off-grid living, this is perfect for your stay! I just wish I had a longer visit.

The Fairy Forest was very charming. I have never glamped so it was a pleasant surprise to arrive to a beautiful tent complete with bed, luxurious bedding, table/chairs, heater, and lamp. The outdoor shower and p-potty were close enough to be convenient yet far enough to be unobtrusive. The best part was the cute garden of flowers and fun figures (I'll let you discover them...).

We had my husband's 70th birthday celebration at Cedar Bloom! We spent five nights and our adult children and grandchildren loved it! We rented different structures and tent sites and we had a blast visiting each campsite, but our family's home base was the dome. We played in the river during the day, napped in the afternoons, went on bike rides, and walked the magic trails. We took turns cooking dinner for our group and the kitchen was spot on, it had everything we needed. We are big sauna enthusiasts, so we would hit the sauna in the evening, shower, and then all meet up in the tea house. Our entire family did not want to leave, Cedar Bloom has it all. Our family is in awe at how they’ve created such a beautiful tranquil sanctuary and we cannot wait to plan our next trip there!

Weekend Trip to Redwood Retreat
Staying in the treehouse was such a completely new and fun experience for my family and I. From the swing to the creatively constructed dome, we felt like we were in our own little world. The treehouse felt like a sanctuary after a long day of travel. Looking up at the beautiful redwood trees in the morning was a magical experience, and we even encountered a very fat and happy banana slug! This was a novelty and we loved it!

Jedediah Smith Redwoods Campground
Large and well maintained park with spacious and private sites.
Gorgeous property!! Slept on deck over river, was so perfect!! We went at the end of September and the weather was perfect also!! Cooked over the campfire, would definitely go back!!
I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a few nights exploring the Redwoods. It's very close to a few fantastic groves. It was quiet, and I felt very safe being a single female traveler. No hookups for electricity - at least not at campsite 4, but there was water and a bin to store food and trash for curious bears. For $35 a night, you can't beat it! There was also a beautiful nature trail around the area. The Smith River is nearby and worth checking out too.

We loved staying here. The campground was quite and clean. Everything was clearly labeled and was easily accessible. We traveled all the way from East Tennessee to be in these woods!

Report from your Shirtless Host Steve
This is the last large state park before you get into Oregon..
It is off HWY 199. A must to stop at
It has camping hiking fishing swimming in the Smith River
And the Howland hill Rd. A must to drive though. Off this Rd.
Is the Stout Grove Loop also the Boy Scout tree trail and off Hwy.
199 is Simpson Reed Grove Loop
If you primitive camping ( get a access permit ) take little bald hill trail
Unbeleaveable hike both in and out
Out the back of the camp is a foot bridge. ( summer only ) is a hoot
Over the Smith
This park will accommodate R.Vs up 36 ft. No hookups
Camping is fun but family camping is the best
So bring your friends and family and camp at Jedediah Smith

Much preferred this Jedediah Smith campground over Gold Bluffs campground in Redwoods National Park. Nothing beats waking up in a majestic redwood grove! It is a busy campground, but most of the sites seemed to be spaced adequately apart with plenty of greenery to provide seclusion. Close access to the river and to Stout Grove nature walk.

Report from your Shirtless Host on Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park
If you headed south from Oregon or north to Oregon on Hwy 101 or east or west on Hwy 199. You have to stop and camp at this Park. This park has a few of the tallest Red Woods in the World. Also this is a 5 star park in it self.
The camp grounds are clean and it has Cabins, hiking trails, the Smith River running though it. Camp sites right on the river it most likely an adventure of a life time for you and your family! You are right in the middle of the redwoods so be ready for redwood dust. But that's the price you pay for such a beautiful place. Don't forget it is pay showers. Things to do is kayaking,wild life viewing and visitor center

Well worth the drive! Beautiful campground, every site feels secluded. Snag a river site if you can. Warm clean showers to boot - bring quarters. Check out Hiouchi Café for pancakes so large they spill over the side of the plate. Nearby Stout Grove is a must for ancient trees, take in the stillness.

We LOVED this campground! We camped at one of the walk-in sites and it was 100% worth it...the walk isn't even that far (as in, I could basically still see my car!). Giant Redwoods, beautiful ferns and foliage surround every campsite. Each site has its own character! The river is a short walk from the campground and absolutely beautiful. We were also impressed with the very nice bathrooms and showers! This was the most magical and relaxing campground in the Redwoods. We will definitely be back!

Rope swing on the smith river is a must!

Incredible place. There are sites on the river and sites in the redwoods, honestly they are all fantastic. My husband and I actually stayed in one of the cabins here overnight on a whim - the cabins are equipped with fo-fireplace that pumps out heat (we stayed on Christmas night in December) it was warm and adorable. They have lights, a broom, a fan, 4 bunks, and a perfect shelf for all your cooking and supplies. The place was 100% spotless which I always appreciate. The cabins were accessable too! A fire pit and a grill were ready to use. Giant red woods towered over us. It was one of the best camp sites I've ever stayed at.

This is one of our favorite spots to camp in the Redwoods. My wife and I are back in Florida now and man, we do miss this spot. If your lucky enough to camp close to the river then do it. You can here the flow of the Smith all night. The sights have Bear proof food lockers, fire pits, clean showers and restrooms. A plus!!

Easily one of my favorite sites on a cross country trip from New York to Los Angeles. The river was very accessible, and a beautiful place to relax and swim. There are a decent amount of sites, but most are separated by massive Red Wood trees. The campground was only a short drive to Crescent City which is an awesome place to get a nice dinner. I can't wait to go back.

Easy drive-up campsites, quick (5 minute) walk to the river. Close to some amazing hiking spots, and surprisingly close to the Oregon border. Sites have picnic tables and bear lockers, and hot showers (with coins)/restrooms. Sites are relatively close to one another, and there are lots of families with kids.

This site does have hike/bike campsites for $5 a night, but spaces are limited.

The world's largest known Coast Redwood is literally about 20 minutes from Camp....Grove of Titans.

The Smith River is one of the best places ever for swimming! It's cold, but also amazing clear. We hiked up the river on the trail the runs along side, and then floated back down to our campsite. Perfection.

Bring the OFF just in case, or put a dryer sheet in your pocket to help ward off bugs.

Even in the heat of summer, the forest floor is a good bit cooler!

Howland Hill Road is steep and has a good amount of potholes. While you don’t need a 4x4, you are limited to around 10 mph and need to look out for oncoming traffic.
