One of my favorite spots in Oregon to watch the sunrise from the tallest mountain on the Oregon Coast Range. On a clear day you can see the ocean from the peak.

Tent

2 nights at Royal Heart Hill

We had a wonderful time tent camping here! It was a very private and serene space, with access to some creature comforts like a warm shower. There was a permanent awning installed at the site which we set our tent up under, but you could put your tent elsewhere.

Weekend Trip to Royal Heart Hill

Awesome site! Felt totally safe and it was such beautiful surroundings. We will definitely keep this spot in mind next time we're in the area. Word of warning that it is a little difficult to find in the dark and hard to turn around, so go slower and look for the signage more closely than you may think you need to.

Carly’s property was perfect, really enjoyed our stay! Thank you so much!

7 nights at Royal Heart Hill

Carly is super nice and I really enjoyed the time I got to spend at her spot. I got the solitude I was looking for without having to go very far. Carly keeps things well maintained & I really appreciate her dedication to the environment. This is a great little spot for a getaway! No frills, but none were needed!❤️❤️❤️

Weekend Trip to Royal Heart Hill

Nicely set up, private camp in trees, very quiet. Nice and dark. Carly was quick to communicate and reply. It is a small circle turnaround, a little tight for our 22ft campervan but definitely doable. We appreciate the new rock layer on the roadbed.

2 nights at Peaceful Retreat

Great stay. Fantastic hosts. Absolutely beautiful location for outdoor activities. 10/10

Weekend Trip to Peaceful Retreat

Amazing peaceful retreat loved how quiet it is at night you can hear the nearby river. 10/10 would stay here again. Their flock dog was really cute and sat a distance away from me and just watched me set up. Honestly very well behaved. The area had some beautiful places to see and hike.

1 night at Royal Heart Hill

Camping on Carly’s land was so lovely and serene! Her property is beautiful and with all the amenities it is really amazing for the price! I don’t hold this against Carly at all but for those traveling here on cold days, make sure to check and ask about the shower and that the water is on! I attempted to shower in the morning but the water wasn’t on, I was in a rush so had to leave but Carly was still very responsive and attentive to the issue! She let me know that they turn the water off to avoid pipes freezing so I do not fault her at all for that! Highly recommend to anyone passing through or staying in the area, you won’t regret it! Even on a colder rainy day I still thoroughly enjoyed by stay. Thanks so much for having me Carly!

Weekend Trip to Royal Heart Hill

The site was beautiful and just secluded enough to make me feel like I had it all to myself! Carly was an amazing host and was very responsive whenever I had a question about the property. I would definitely stay here again!

Royal Heart Hill

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents25 acres · Cottage Grove, OR

*Please read FULL site description and rules before booking so you know what to expect and what is expected of you!* 'Royal Heart Hill' is at the very end of a Dead-End road, which means no sound or light pollution from passing cars or nearby residences. Surrounded by BLM and Timber properties, while being 6 miles from downtown CG (7 miles from the I5) and 30 miles from downtown Eugene. All guests have access to the outdoor shower, which is located by the green Dome. Please use biodegradable soap in the shower! Potable water spigots are located by the carport and at the top of the steps leading down to our platform site. Each site has its own composting toilet, fire-pit and electrical outlet. Nearby access to: two lakes for swimming and fishing, waterfalls and cliff-jumping, hiking and biking trails, dining, wineries, breweries, shopping and more. I am happy to offer suggestions and share what I know- please ask! UPDATE: The timber acreage that borders our property- to the west and north of Overholser Road- was harvested winter 2024. The property consists of Oak savanna, mixed conifer woodland, camas meadow, undulating hills and a SMALL pond (home to many rough-skinned newts- no swimming or fishing). At our domestead we practice permaculture, native habitat restoration and regenerative forestry. Poison oak is present on the property! I have done my best to clear it from camping areas and trails. Tecnu is provided in the outdoor shower. There is a mile long loop that goes around the whole property, which we keep mowed and accessible. Hipcampers are encouraged to use the loop to explore the property. To access- walk south/downhill toward the pond signs and follow the mowed path through the meadow and back up toward the road, which will take you back to your campsite. I have included a screenshot of the loop as recorded by my Strava app, which is in the property photos. The property hosts a geodesic play-dome and slack-line (during the dry months) up by the green dome/outdoor shower. Guests may play on these at their own risk- the closest hospital is 7 miles away. *Please note- if you do not respect our camp rules your visit will be flagged, hipcamp will be notified and you will be asked to pay 25% of your booking fee for cleanup costs.*
