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. Good cell service from Google Fi/USCellular. WiFi available on porch of owner's house by request. Private single campsite on 72 acres along beautiful Jumpoff Joe Creek.

This was the perfect spot for us to spend the night in our van on our way from OR to CA. Easy to find, not far off the highway but very quiet, beautiful and well maintained, could hear the stream flowing right outside our window, truly peaceful. Porta potty on-site that was clean and well-stocked. Wish we’d had more time. Will for sure be back if we’re in the area again!

Beautiful Site

21 ft travel trailer · With kids

The site was beautiful. We didn’t really get to see it in the daylight but the covered bridge and the rushing creek were amazing. I got to fall asleep to the sound of the creek and it was incredibly relaxing. The host was friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful, quiet retreat. We only stayed for a night but walking along the bridge in the morning was peaceful and stunning. Bathroom was very clean.

Incredible!!

25 ft Class C

My husband and I have been all over in our converted bus and this place, was by far, one of our absolute favorite places!!!! Soooo private, well equipped, awesome setup, gorgeous trees and a beautiful bridge, on a beautiful (good sized) creek, with the most beautiful and relaxing atmosphere we could have hoped for. We were able to really enjoy nature and it felt so peaceful that it was hard for us to leave. 😊 We can’t wait to come back again!!!!
