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.

A 40-acre isolated forest paradise, our property has several places to dry camp with your tent or with your trailer/RV. We are close to Falls City, the vast wilderness of the Oregon Coast Range, Valley of the Giants, and are about a 15 minute drive from the cities of Dallas and Monmouth. We have one site currently ready for camping with AMAZING views of the Oregon Coast Range with phone service, pets allowed if kept on leash (there are animals on neighboring properties), and a designated fire ring for fires. A five gallon jug of water with a pump will be provided upon request. We are currently in the process of putting in an outhouse and showers, but currently we ask that you leave the site as you found it. Please reach out with any questions!

Welcome to Molalla Ripple!

Enjoy the sound of the Molalla River rolling over the rocks. Wake up to birds chirping and tall trees swaying in the breeze. The campsites are sixty feet apart for privacy and one path leads to the river with two private beach areas to relax.

Jsm Ranch started in 2004 when we moved from Oregon City. This once was a working farm with two chicken barns and a meat locker barn. All had fallen into disrepair before taking ownership. In 2007 we planted 200 trees and 100 shrubs to build a new fish and wildlife habitat along Woodcock Creek. We then focused on building a fence along the Molalla River to protect water quality.

From there, we started raising Black Angus in 2008 after spending four years cleaning up the fields to make it safe for animals. We strive to be good stewards with our land as we continue to work with Clackamas Soil and Water to make better working lands.

You're only minutes away from the town of Molalla to grab a bite, groceries or other camp items. Also have Molalla Rodeo just 3 minutes away on July 1-4th. You won't be disappointed for a great breakfast at Tammy D's (Mulino, OR), sandwiches at Humble Pig or pizza at Bear Creek Pizza & Pub.

A. Potable drinking water is available at this listing. (Spigot)

We have fresh filtered water on the Northeast corner of our pole barn. Look for the sign marked "water" on your way down to the campsites. Dry hydrants have small filters to clean the water. More hydrants to come.

B. Campfires are allowed at this listing. (Firepit, Private)

We have a safe, steel fire ring to enjoy evenings by a crackling fire. The fire rings have a small, adjustable grill attached for cooking. We currently have a burn permit through Oregon Department of Forestry for all four sites until we reach extreme conditions. Should we reach extreme conditions we have a pellet stove that puts out 90,000 btu with a 12' heat radius. Timber stove has spark arrestors.

Be fire safe.

C. A toilet is available at this listing. (Portable toilet)

We have two new portable toilets. Easy to use from the river to campsites. We ask that you don't use our campsites and woods as your bathroom if found, we will charge for cleanup $100! No need when our bathrooms are cleaned weekly and monitored between cleanings. Thank you, we strive to make our place safe and clean for others to enjoy.

D. Pets are allowed at this listing. (On leash)

In or on the river your pup shall be leashed. Our pastures can be rented by the hour through Sniffspott named Molalla Ripple Dog Park. This is the only area where your pup can run off-leash. We ask that you pick up after your pet. Let's keep our sites clean and safe for other families. We may start charging a clean-up fee if campers can't clean up after their pets. Who wants to step in a mess or smell it? We will charge $50 for waste left behind. Please don't be that camper.

E. A shower is available at this listing. (Hot water)

New shower stall. Between the Porta Potty's Gray in color.
