Soda Spring Community

2 sites · Lodging200 acres · Ashland, OR
This 200 acre property is located within the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument, a land bridge where two mountain ranges meet, creating immense biodiversity and natural beauty. Soda Spring is a bourgeoning community tended land located on the ceded territories of the Shasta, Takilma, Latgawa and Klamath peoples, just 10 minutes from the south end of Ashland, Oregon. The property is primarily oak savannah and pastureland, with adjacent fir/pine and madrone/manzanita forests and hillsides. The land sits in a valley where both Soda Creek and Carter Creek enter in to Emigrant Creek as it flows onward to Emigrant Lake, just a mile away. The land is being stewarded by a small group of humans and large community of wildlife and insects. Together we are slowly creating something special... including community event and classroom spaces, gardens, orchards, holistically managed ranch lands, campgrounds and wild places. Currently there is one vintage trailer available. By next spring there will be additional camping sites and RV sites also available.

Shasta View Wanderer's Retreat

2 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Klamath Falls, OR
Welcome to Shasta View Wanderer's Retreat, your ideal basecamp for outdoor adventures. Located approximately 60 miles from Crater Lake National Park, 30 miles from Lava Beds National Monument, and 12 miles from Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, our retreat offers unparalleled access to a variety of natural wonders. Within just 30 minutes, you'll find numerous opportunities for hiking, fishing, kayaking, and biking, with private access to miles of hiking trails on public land right from the campsite. Keep your eyes peeled for the impressive eagle activity in the area, as bald and golden eagles are frequently spotted soaring above or perched nearby. At night, you may have the opportunity to join us for star viewing parties under our dark, expansive sky—an experience you won't forget. While our site offers access to seclusion, it's not entirely secluded on its own. Nestled at the bottom of a pasture in a farming area, it's within sight of the owner and a neighbor. However, rural living offers a sense of privacy, allowing you to relax and be yourself amidst nature. Keep in mind that you may encounter bugs, coyotes, deer, and some nearby farming activity during your stay. Our communal camping area features level ground, fire pit, potable water spigot, camp toilet, and a picnic table. Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be leashed or kenneled on the property—feel free to let them off-leash on the adjacent public lands. Owners are available to provide information and maps for hiking and outdoor recreation activities. Enjoy stunning views of Mount Shasta from your campsite, with seasonally flooded fields adding to the picturesque scenery. You're also welcome to explore the hills nearby, offering even more breathtaking vistas to discover.

Cedar Springs Village

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.

Beautiful 160 acres at an altitude of 4500' above Ashland, Oregon. Enjoy a 100% off grid experience with a classy and private campsite on Thrive Ranch. Experience the peace and quiet (except for the frogs) on this beautiful property. Each site includes a private secluded space to set up camp, we include running water and a fire pit. We provide the first night of firewood with more available for purchase. We are all about peace and respect for the land and each other on Thrive Ranch. Please be expecting to exist in the same type of space while here. No loud music or huge ruckus'. If you have the need to create a space for a larger group where you can celebrate and make some noise just let us know, we can probably accommodate with special arrangements and at a different location on the property. No road noise at all, we are out here and the only thing you will hear at night is bugs and frogs. Maybe a moo or two occasionally during grazing season. We named all our sites after past and present pets that we hold very dear to our hearts. It was that or some kind of hairy fairy names that you hear everywhere else like serenity or solitude.....blechh... We have a stream that flows year round, a 10-12' sheet waterfall with a swimming hole and a glorious 100' waterfall to hike to, stand under or just sit and enjoy. We have a pond that we are currently developing as a contributing recreational space. We are adding value at a very rapid pace and will be adding to the description as we do. If you book a month out don't be surprised if we have added an outdoor kitchen. Our real toilet outhouses have been added to 3 of our sites. So much cool stuff to do on a really magical property. We want to share so come enjoy. Not one of our campsites are in view or proximity to the others. Very private and lots of solitude. We (as hosts) can be as present or invisible as you like. Access to miles of trails and roads on BLM/Forest Service land for hiking, ATV's, motorcycles and off-roading.

US cellular has property and valley wide reception but that is the only one. Verizon can send texts and messages but is painfully slow or non-existent on internet.

Grow fishy’s grow!!

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.

Notable campgrounds

  • A Loop: Offers 16 full-hookup sites and 18 non-hookup sites with water nearby, complete with restrooms and hot showers.
  • B Loop: Features 30 full-hookup sites, including nine pull-through options, ensuring a comfortable stay with restroom facilities.
  • Horse Camp: Provides 2 sites, each with 2 corrals, and access to a multi-use trail for an unforgettable equestrian adventure.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book your campsite up to 6 months in advance to secure your spot amid the natural splendor of Collier Memorial State Park.
  • For peak season camping, be ready to reserve right when the booking window opens, as sites fill up quickly.
  • Consider mid-week stays for better availability and a quieter camping experience.
  • Explore nearby camping options if Collier Memorial State Park is fully booked, as the surrounding area offers additional opportunities.

When to go

The best time to visit Collier Memorial State Park is between May 15 and October 15, when the campground is open and the weather is ideal for outdoor activities. Outside of these dates, some facilities may be closed, and the park transitions into a quieter, more reflective space for day use.

Know before you go

  • Check for seasonal closures before your visit, as some areas and services may be unavailable during the off-season.
  • Universal Access campsites are available for campers with disabilities, ensuring an inclusive experience for all.
  • Remember to bring cash for firewood purchases, as the campground offers bundles for your convenience.
  • Pets are welcome on a leash, with pet waste bags provided throughout the park for responsible pet ownership.
