With a strong reputation for adventures in nature, Oregon sits high on many hikers’ and campers’ outdoor bucket lists. And with over 50 percent of state land declared public, camping in Oregon is literally everywhere. To help you get started, here’s some of the best spots to pitch a tent and catch a view!


While the Cascades mountain range used to be a major obstacle for settlers riding the Oregon trail, it has now become an outdoor adventurer’s playground. Mt. Hood, the fourth highest peak in the Cascades and just two hours outside of Portland, is home the most popular park for campers looking for a taste of Oregon’s natural diversity. Aside from the snowy mountain top, the old-growth forests and flowing water features make this a prime location for camping in Oregon. 


Lake lovers might appreciate the serene views of the Wy’east at campsites around Trillium Lake. Waking up to the fog that drifts on the lake and Mt. Hood standing tall behind it is a picture-perfect moment every camper dreams of. Rent yourself a boat, canoe or kayak and spend the day gliding around the 63-acre lake or angling for local trout.


If you’d like to ditch some of the crowds around Mt. Hood while also getting a hike in, make your way through a canopy of old-growth forest on the Old Salmon River Trail. The backwoods sites along the trail offer a natural escape to some of the best camping in Oregon.


If you’re looking for a more active natural beauty, venture about three hours south from Mt. Hood to Silver Falls State Park outside of Salem. People call it the “crown jewel” of the Oregon State Parks system, and once you visit, you know why. The scenic waterfall hike offers a 360-degree view of a 178-foot cascade (where else can you hike behind a waterfall?) With sites a hike away from the falls, anyone looking for camping in Oregon can’t miss this spot. Throughout your exploration around Oregon, you can find all the best campsites with The Dyrt.

The Best Camping Near Alma, Oregon

We found our forever home about 2 years ago and, after a crazy rollercoaster ride of purchasing, we finally got to move onto the property a year and a half ago.

Like most new farmsteaders we hit our fair share of bumps in the road and learned a few lessons along the way. But all in all we are getting the place to where we want it to be and making our dreams come true.

Although we are not quite there, we are starting to open up a few spots to have guests stay here and help us enjoy it with us along our journey!

Come camp with us in the Oregon Coast Mountain Range! We are located right on Highway 126, exactly halfway between the city of Eugene and the city of Florence at the Oregon Pacific coast.

Ask us about our FREE 420 package!

We are only allowing adult guests that are 18 or older to stay at this time. Thanks for your understanding :)

The space

We have 2 tipi tents set up at the front of our property that can accommodate groups up to 8 people each. We also provide a composting toilet in its own small tent and access to fresh water. And if you get hungry we are just a short walk down the driveway to the Halfway Café!

Guest access

We love showing off our property and are more than happy to take you on a tour when you arrive! You are welcome to sit by the camp fire at night located up above our sun shaped garden or even hike the trails in our woods. Make sure you say hi to the turkey, chickens and baby ducks on your way past.

Other things to note

Stoney Acres is 420 friendly and we even produce our own flower that we love to share. Enjoy a free preroll for every night you stay with us. Our little way of saying thanks to our 420 friendly guest and to help you enjoy your stay the best we can! (must be 21 or older to qualify)

At the Heart of Royal, Oregon (in Cottage Grove proper) we are 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 (please be aware of clearly marked private property/no trespassing signs at the end of the public road), while still being just under 6 miles outside of downtown Cottage Grove-the town of Covered-Bridges- with many options for shopping, dining, breweries and live music! Nearby access to wineries and two large lakes (Cottage Grove and Dorena) with swimming, boating, fishing, as well as hiking and biking trails. We are 35 minutes/27 miles from the heart of Eugene.

All campsites are a short walk away from a small pond (no swimming) and epic sunset views! Oak savanna habitat restoration and sustainable thinning of mixed woodland in process on the land.

\*\*Poison oak is present! Please know how to identify, or ask and I will show you\*\* I have done my best to clear it away from main camping areas and trails, but be cautious. Tecnu is provided in the outdoor shower if needed!

\*\*LEAVE NO TRACE//PACK IN, PACK OUT! Trash bags and bins are provided, but please take all of your trash with you, NO DUMPING! This includes compost, as to not attract animals and insects.\*\*

\*\*All guests have access to the outdoor shower, which is located on the 'Pad'.\*\*

\*\*COMPOSTING TOILETS- There is a composting toilet at each site; however, only the toilet at the 'Pad' (near the dome and shower) has a urine diverter. If one feels uncomfortable urinating outside, this toilet can be used. At the other two sites: PLEASE, poop only! Urinate outside and throw TP in trash or composting barrel (around back of toilet). Before use: Make sure bucket is lined with sawdust. After use: Cover waste with sawdust 3:1 and dump bucket in the composting barrel around back. Replace bucket and line with sawdust. Be Courteous! Thank you!\*\* For humanure to break down properly, urine and feces must be kept separate. This is because the urea present in urine degrades into ammonia and kills the microbes that would otherwise break down the waste.

Campfires are allowed within local regulation.

\*\*Absolutely no illegal activity of any kind or you will be asked to leave immediately with no refund. NO HARD DRUG USE!\*\*

The 'Platform' site hosts a bell tent, large fire pit, composting toilet (for #2 only), potable water and electric via hose/extension cord, is a short distance from our outdoor shower, and is accessible with 4WD during the wet months and 2WD during the dry months; however, it is not accessible with a camper/trailer. From this site one can see the top of the monolithic Dome-Home and RV pad.

The 'Tent/Trailer' site is the more secluded site and is available amongst our Madrone and Chinquapin tree zone. The road to this site is flat and accessible by car/camper/small trailer. There is a turn-around (somewhat tight), but trailers larger than 17ft may have difficulty using it. There are many level spaces to park or pitch a tent. Campers have access to electric via extension cord, a small cooking-fire-pit and composting toilet (#2 only); however, potable water, and outdoor shower are all located by the Dome, which campers will have to walk (short distance) or drive to. There is currently an old (being renovated) trailer on site (out of the way), which is off access to campers.
