Past trips
Hexayurt Glamping @ the Dome Asylum
in Dome Asylum, Hippie Homestead, CaliforniaSpiritual Retreat Center
in Spiritual Retreat Center, CaliforniaAs far as hosts go - Jennifer is as sweet as they come.
If you need to break from busy life & re-center your soul, come check this place out.
She will make sure that you are comfortable in your living quarters, and that you find your inner-peace.
Camping Along Central Oregon Coast
in Rock'n K Ranch, OregonKaren was a very friendly host, and gave me a tour of the property! It's a peaceful, welcoming environment.
They have so many options for camping, and she also opens up her home with the restroom, shower, and kitchen for a small extra charge.
I highly recommend staying here!
Creekside Site 2
in Powder Creek Campground, OregonBrenda was kind and showed me around the property before I went to my campsite. There are cute pigs & other animals on site, as well as beautiful landscapes and a few ponds as well.
I recommend checking out the creek, and spend some time roaming the property (within the limits allowed). This is definitely a campsite worth staying at!
Site 2 - Buck circle campsite
in Bradley Harris, OregonHere are my thoughts on the site - If youâre looking for a place to pitch a tent without a clamping experience, look no further. Thereâs a firepit that will serve you well, and flat ground for a tent.
There are houses on either side of the site, but itâs still relatively private because of tree cover. There is a porta-potty and a hose, but the hose seemed to have a weak stream.
If you need a place to stay thatâs close to Tillamook without frills, youâll enjoy it here!
Camp by the pond
in Camp by the pond, OregonThis site is indeed beautiful with the pond, field, and horses nearby. However, there are not many amenities if youâre looking for that. Iâd recommend bringing all the gear youâll need to make this an enjoyable stay.
ElfenWood
in ElfenWood Camp, OregonHeather is an excellent host! Upon arrival to their lovely property, I was greeted by her riding a Harley Davidson Scooter and guided to my campsite. The forest clearing was peaceful, and each site was equipped with hammocks, tables, and fire extinguishers. There was a clean porta-potty nearby, along with sinks for washing hands and dishes. The barn is a short walk away, and has clean, stylish showers as well as fun games to play inside. Outside there is a communal firepit and a small playground for the little ones.
Also, check out their sweet retro trailer (available to rent)! So cool.
I highly recommend staying here.

in The Aloha Ranch, OregonPilialoha is a friendly host, with gorgeous wolf-dogs (which arenât cuddly by the way, so donât approach without her consent!). Her property is peaceful and beautiful, and is close to a small stream.
There are numerous places to pitch a tent, and a great communal fire pit. Thereâs plenty of property to roam, and a lake is nearby. Totally worth checking out.

in sol duc rainforest retreat, WashingtonStaying at the rainforest retreat was honestly a great experience. A tent, air mattress, sleeping bag, and pillow were provided, as well as a couple of chairs. I also appreciated the peaceful environment of the camp overall, as well as a bathroom and shower.
As youâll see in the photos, there is drinking water, utensils, and pots and pans as well. Iâd recommend staying here, and a visit to Crescent Lake nearby is worth it too!
Humptulips Valley river camp Site 1
in Humptulips Valley River Camp, WashingtonCamping near the river was a truly unique experience. Donald was very accommodating. Itâs an excellent place to enjoy a fire near the water in the evening, and if you have a license, you can fish there as well.
Although the campsite is up against public land (the river bed), itâs tucked away enough to where you wonât be bothered by anyone. Make sure you keep your dogs on leash, because the forest is dense and hard to travel through aside from the roads. If you enjoy camping (and donât need a shower or indoor bathroom), youâll love staying here.
Camp Cascadia @ North River Reserve
in Willapa Hills Streams & Dreams, WashingtonSite 1 - RiverSide @OregonCoastCampers
in OregonCoastCampers Riverside, OregonStaying here was really a peaceful experience! The hosts were really helpful and friendly, and I felt safe. This time of year (august) the river was amazing to walk around in and even swim - totally warm enough. Iâd recommend lounging in one of the hammocks in the afternoon, and hanging out near one of the communal fires in the evening. Canon beach is also super close - they recommended several food and coffee spots, as well as Ecola state park.
The only caveat is that If the campsites were full, it may feel a bit crowded.
