Lets be honest, it is sometimes about the land but mostly about the host. Matthew greeted me, helped me with power (to which I was not able to safely connect), and he was willing to help me level my van. The property is on a hill but depending on your preferences, there is always a way to make it work. The goats are a bonus!

I’ll just put these adjectives here: convenient, quiet, generous, helpful, and woodsy. My 3-day stay was in Nov amidst extreme weather. I was pretty level, had 30 amps, and was able to spend one day just chilling in my van on the site. Regret not purchasing Mead.

Getaway, yep that is the word. Getaway from your tent or camper to the oak tree. Getaway for a stroll around the property where, even in early fall, wildflowers were blooming. Getaway to experience the little sights and sounds in the gardens. I stayed two nights in my van, lingering all day in a book. This is a beautiful place to stay in a tent or small vehicle. I want to visit in summer next time.

Crepuscular light brought a distant cacophony of nature sounds and the night beckoned me to watch the stars grow brighter while a few meteors drew lines across the darkness. Then to awake with a golden sunrise and dew escaping into the morning air. And if that was not enough, the next day provided time to pick and eat a few blueberries. Andrea is a welcoming and wonderful host who gives you ample time and space to walk the garden and/or enjoy the privacy of your tent. A short walk to the orchard where you will find a communal outdoor kitchen, outdoor compost toilet (lovingly know as the otter house), and a shower. Andrea and John's respect and passion for the land is evident in how we were treated, their creative resources, and the earth's bounty.

Wandering Oak Farm begs you to linger under the oaks or wait for the moon in the open space. It is a place where the past and present converge through family history and a sustainable vision. Songbirds are plentiful, and wildlife may surprise you. Easy access if you follow Tracey's directions. Consider it for a night or two while you sightsee at Crater Lake, float the Rogue River, visit a winery, farm, or other local highlights.
