Hey there! I'm a single dad with 2 teen-kids, medical professional, who enjoys country living and sharing it with others. I've lived in far-Northern CA and Southern Oregon my whole life, except for school/training, so State of Jefferson is my home. We bought this land in 2017, when it was just brush, poison oak, and a rotten bridge. Learn more about this land: Campsite on 72 acres along beautiful Jumpoff Joe Creek. Shaded, adjacent to romantically lighted timber-frame private covered bridge (no traffic). Very secluded, but only 1/2 mile from I-5 (no freeway noise, though). Private "beach" area and kid-friendly water play area with wild creatures (turkey, deer, fish, crayfish, water striders, turtles, frogs, etc.). Picnic table, tent spots, and fresh water spigot. Short hiking trails (watch out for poison oak!). Best for tenting, smaller RV's, tree tents, or rooftop tents. >100 yards from nearest structure. 3 nights max except by private arrangement. NO smoking/vaping/marijuana. NO wood fires, but propane fire-ring is available -- bring your own propane tank or pay $5 extra to use my propane tank if available.

Beautiful site

Beautiful site. My goldendoodle loved the stream but got a lot of stickers in hair and feet. Better for shorthaired dogs. Very clean portapot and great shower area. Worked well for an overnight, on-the-road stay.

Private Spot

It was a very quiet and private location. Thoughtful touches such as fairy lights in jars and benches sit by the creek. Dusk to dawn cafe lights on bridge. Nice stay!

This has to be one of the best Hipcamps out there. Site was privet and beautiful, there was a picnic bench and a propane fire. Bathroom and showers were clean and the instant hot water was fantastic. The host was super welcoming, sent me a message to let us know where to find extra propane since he wasn’t home. Lovely walking trails around the property. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

We’ve stayed in many Hipcamp sites throughout the West, and consider Marcus’s place one of the best. It’s beautiful, peaceful and private, and it is our favorite overnight stop when we travel from our Southern California home into Oregon.
