10 sites · RVs, Tents120 acres · OR

**Only for those who are okay with a rough and rugged drive for an Alaskan style retreat only 25 miles from the Market Of Choice in Ashland, OR** Cedar Springs Village is ever improving and expanding as a gathering place and Natural Movement training facility/playground. Tended by host and MovNat Lvl2 certified fitness trainer. There are also family activities such as a toddler friendly bike pump track, small sandbox, tire swing, well used trails and roads to hike or mountain bike around the property. There is a growing communal outdoor kitchen with a standard four burner stovetop and oven. Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the mountains. Pitch a tent in one of the numerous locations on this secluded and diverse 120 acres. Here you will be amongst a thick forest of cedar, pine and fir; oak groves, rolling hills, babbling creeks, spring-fed ponds, meadows and spectacular views of majestic Mt. Shasta. If you are a plant enthusiast, bird-watcher or nature lover, or even a rockhound, this area will be a dream come true. The terrain is hilly but old logging roads provide nice hiking paths along with hundreds of animal paths for the able bodied. Near the owners cabin and main camp area there is an outdoor kitchen, tapped spring to collect water, fire pit and a compost outhouse. It is important to note that there is no poison oak or poison ivy around the area. It is a wonderful place to really explore. Just 15.4 miles east of Ashland on highway 66 then 9 miles on a slow dirt road. The drive is absolutely part of the experience, slow down and enjoy the views. As you drive up hwy 66 the views of the valley below are absolutely incredible, then you come to the dirt road. This is a very slow drive due to the condition of the road, it is part of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and poorly maintained. **Important** The last section of road to get to this pristine and secluded forest location is a 9 mile dirt road with bumps, rocks, and a many washouts that bring you to a near stand still. 4 wheel drive is strongly recommended. Low clearance cars not recommended.

The best camping near Collier Memorial State Park guide

Overview

About

Collier Logging Museum explains how this region came to be. A pair of brothers wanted to honor their family's legacy. This outdoor museum has historic logging equipment, rare railroad cars, and an antique sawmill.

There's no more logging, of course. Now they're just a beautiful pine forest with mountains in the background. Railfans can head south to Train Mountain Railroad Museum to see some heavy equipment.

The confluence of the Williamson River and Spring Creek flows through the park. The Williamson has some of the best trout you've ever tasted. Spring Creek gushes crystal-clear. If you're really lucky, you can snag a campsite near the river. The current can lull you to sleep.

One of 72 campsites in the park offers an ideal headquarters for exploring this area. Klamath Falls is 30 miles south. Crater Lake sits 30 miles to the north. Pristine forests are to the east and west. You can't pick a better location for enjoying Oregon's wondrous natural beauty.
