Our beautiful forested land is located in Southern Oregon in the small town of Cave Junction off the 199 Redwood Highway. The land which we call home is 100 acres of beautiful protected forest. The land Cedar Bloom sits upon a mile of the Illinois River. Each June we host over 1,000 women to the land for the Annual Spirit Weavers Gathering! This is our home and we are happy to share it with you! The river is just a few min walk down to our own private beach and swimming. The camp is also just a 3 minute walk to the lands pristine swimming hole. These A-Frame Cabins are super cozy at 1000sf with an additional deck that is great for yoga or napping. The cabins include two twin size mattresses and linen bedding. This camp is a 1 minute walk to the main house, private commercial kitchen, cute compost toilet, shower house and sauna. These cabins are ideal for two people. The front part of the cabin can be closed off or opened up to the elements. Since one side of the cabin is clear you can see in a bit but can also drape something over for more privacy. The reason for the clear side to is allow for the feeling of sleeping right outside amongst nature. Cedar Bloom has available power and cell phone service. Cell phone service works great if you have AT&T or Verizon. Internet is limited but is available.We have several giant meadows with thousands of trees surrounding. We are right on the Illinois River with a mile of river frontage and 3 incredible swim spots. It's a great place to come and recharge and renew. We are surrounded by beautiful scenery in all directions! We are close to the Redwoods, The Oregon Caves and so much more. We are close to major cities such as Grants Pass, Medford, Crescent City and Ashland. MORE ABOUT CEDARBlOOM… Cedar Bloom was purchased in the spring of 2017 by Spirit Weavers Gathering as a place of peace and healing, for all walks of life. Spirit Weavers is an annual womens gathering which happens once a year each June. We host over 1,000 women in just two weeks on the land. We are located on the Illinois River just outside Cave Junction, Oregon. Our Main House was built in 1962 and retains the flavor of the 60’s with a beautiful Mid Century Modern feel. It houses a kitchen, dining hall, a living room, five bedrooms and three bathroom with a bathtub. It currently houses Agustin and Mea and their seven year old daughter Naia. Grateful to be voted#1 Staff choice for Campground on Hipcamp this year! FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE OF THE ILLINOIS VALLEY For thousands of years, the Takelma people lived in the Illinois and Rogue River valleys, what is now known as Josephine County. They lived in small bands close to the land. Interior southwest Oregon has pronounced seasons and the ancient Takelma adapted to these seasons by spending spring, summer and early fall months collecting and storing food for the winter season. Salmon was central to their food source and way of life. The salmon diet was supplemented by game, such as deer, elk, beaver, bear, antelope and bighorn sheep. Smaller mammals, such as squirrels, rabbits and gophers, might have been snared by both men and women. They gathered the root of the Camas plant, part of the asparagus family, as well as acorns from the two native species of Oaks, the Oregon white oak and California black oak. Other vegetation included manzanita berries, pine nuts, tarweed seeds, wild plums and sunflowers. The Takelma are also known to have cultivated a native tobacco plant, but otherwise relied on the fruits of the wilderness for their survival. The main utensils included horn, bone and wood-made implements and a great variety of baskets constructed generally by twining on a hazel warp. Stone was used in the making of arrowheads and pestles. The clothing and personal adornment of the Takelma was similar to the tribes of northern California. Notable characteristics include facial painting, red-headed woodpecker scalps for men and basket caps for women. The women also tattooed the skin in three stripes and men tattooed the left arm. European Settlement of the Illinois Valley began by the 1830’s, as the gold and logging industries developed. By the end of 1856, the traditional residents of the Rogue and Illinois River valleys were forcibly removed and relocated to the Siletz Reservation on the central Oregon coast. The Takelma were joined on the reservations by their neighbors, the Athapaskans and the Shasta, as well as tribes from even farther away, such as the Coos and Tillamook. It is reported that by 1906 less than ten Takelma were alive and able to speak their native language.In 1994, for the first time in over 140 years, an ancient ceremony took place to welcome home and give thanks for the returning salmon, on the Kanaka Flats of the Applegate River. People of all heritages were welcomed at the annual Salmon Gathering on the Applegate River until 2006. In 2007, the ceremony was moved to the place where it was held for thousands of years: the Tilomikh(Powerhouse Falls), on the Rogue River near Gold Hill, Oregon. Since then, the ceremony has taken place annually in its traditional location, demonstrating that the Takelma culture is alive and will continue into the future. Today, Takelma descendents continue to reside on or near the Siletz and Grand Ronde reservations. The Pilgrims brought back the Salmon Ceremony to Southern Oregon. Due to the Pilgrim’s contribution in returning the Salmon Ceremony to Jackson County, Agnis Baker-Pilgrim is known to some locals as the‘Keeper of the Sacred Salmon Ceremony. Agnes, one of the oldest grandmothers of the International Council of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, has returned to the Rogue Valley and today her voice can be heard strong and clear, proving that the spirit and blood of her people are still with us. PLANT& ANIMAL RELATIONS We are very fortunate to be surrounded by a widely diverse population of flora and fauna. As caretakers of this sacred land, we feel a strong responsibility to honor our plant and animal allies by not only protecting them and their habitat, but also to help educate others about what lives and grows here by providing people with opportunities to experience the beauty of these plants and animals for themselves. For this reason, We are honored to host the many different groups who will gather here on this land for learning and communing with the nature that flourishes here. We feel very fortunate to be involved in this process of helping promote a sustainable and abundant future for all living things on this planet by sharing knowledge and skills from the human past that can make a sustainable lifestyle a reality for everyone everywhere. The animals here include, but are not limited to deer, foxes, coyote, raccoon, skunks, and sometimes black bear though we havent seen any yet! The birds that surround us are migratory geese, quail, wild turkeys, hawks, ospreys and eagles. The fish that call the Illinois River their home are the Salmon People, Steelhead& Trout along with their friends the otter and ducks. The Land is a no-hunting zone so the animals here are abudant and safe. The plant life here is incredibly diverse. This land is home to many native grasses, ferns, and berries, wild flowers, as well as many other edible and medicinal plants and fungi such as mugwort, self-heal, soap root, and a variety of mushrooms. The tree population is a blend of hardwoods like Manzanita, Madrone, and several kinds of Oaks along with mature Fir, Pine, Cedar trees, Alder, Maple and Apples. With special attention to management of non-native and invasive plants, Spirit Weavers is committed to maintaining a well balanced forest ecosystem with high biodiversity. TIMES Please clean up and check out of your site by 12:am on the day of your departure. You can check in by 2:pm on the day of your arrival. CLIMATE& THE ILLINOIS VALLEY Cedar Bloom holds the heart during the summer. Temps can range from 75-95 during the day and generally cools down to the 70's during the evenings. Swimming in the summer months is delicious. We have mostly pebbly beaches and a jagged rock and sand beach right where the Swimming hole is. The river is chilly until late June and it cools down again in late September. NEIGHBORS There is another campground right next door but since we have 100 acres, you never really see a soul besides us! Please use our pathways to travel property next to us, and respect the privacy and tranquility of our neighbors by not keeping late hours or playing loud music. EMERGENCIES If someone needs to reach you in an emergency, Cell phones work great on the land. If you don't get service and need to contact someone our land phones are available. SHOWER HOUSE& SAUNA We have twelve showers total. The first shower house is open showering with 4 showers and the 2nd shower house has 8 stalls. You are also welcome to use the sauna throughout your stay. COMPOST TOILET The"Honeydew Station" is our two chamber composting toilet. It looks like a tiny house and you will see it on your right as you drive in. Instructions are inside! FOOD& WATER Please bring your own food to camp. Town is close so if you need to run errands to grab food its a short drive away. All of our water is on a well and is super clean and ran through a UV light. Please keep food and garbage out of the reach and smell of animals so we don’t have animal visitors at night. GARBAGE If you pack it in, please pack it out when you leave. FIRES Depending on the time of year, cooking fires are permissible in the fire pits provided. June-Sept there can sometimes be fire bans in the county. Please NO bonfires. We have fire wood in the forest around the meadow for use for cooking fires but please bring your own wood to the land. We also have wood available for purchase in the Camp Store. PETS If you must bring your pet, please message us before hand. We ask that you clean up after your pup while here. We have doggie bags in the camp store. THE RIVER & SWIMMING HOLES We have a mile of river frontage and there is tons of space for all. Keiki Beach located down the trail from the sauna is the more shallow and flatter part of the river. This is a great spot for families and doggies! Mermaid Rock which is located down the trail to your left of the main house is our large swimming hole with deeper waters. This part of the river is clothing optional. Please be aware of the rocks down at Mermaid Rock& Dock. The rocks are tricky to walk on for both adults and especially children. Please keep your eyes on your children at all times while at the river. Feel free to bring rafts to play on. CAMP STORE If you happen to forget anything we have a camp store that is located in the main meadow. The Camp store sells everything from supplies to books and trinkets. If you text Mea she can meet you there anytime. GRATITUDE We feel honored to be stewards of this land. One of our main visions for this land is to protect its cultural and environmental heritage. We are excited to share about the native food forest we will be cultivating for the local community and beyond. We will also be placing the land into a conservation trust so no logging or future development can occur. For the many years to come, we will explore the ways can live in harmony with the natural world for the greater good of people and the plants and animals we depend on. We welcome you to Cedar Bloom!

Stayed in a cabin and it was beautiful. The front porch provided a fabulous view to the Chetco River.
If you fish and don't have a trailer or camper these cabins are perfect. Fire ring and table are provided as well.
Well worth the price.
Super happy with this cozy little campground. Good size spots, very clean, nicely maintained, nearby hiking in the redwoods, and a river right next to the campground. Recommended!!!
Nice spot with good vibes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was coffee in the morning in the office which was nice. We had some privacy because we went during the off season. The nice ammeneties made it feel a bit like glamping even though we were car camping.
We stayed one night here during a trip down the Oregon coast. We have a 37' TT, it was a little tight trying to back in, our neighbor across from us was gracious enough to move his truck. The sites themselves are very spacious, with a picnic table and fire pit. The sites were surrounded by blackberry bushes which was cool.
We did not use the bathrooms, but the park and the outside of the facilities all looked clean, and they also had cabins available near the river, which was so peaceful!
Right off I-5 so if traffic noise bothers you this may not be the place for you. Lower part of D loop tends to be buffered by the hill and sites in E loop. The road for the sites in C loop is a bit small but can be managed.
This is a reservation only state park but you can make the reservations day of before getting there. A loop is now Yurts and group camping.
We were here over Labor Day weekend and although full, the campgound was quiet except for occasional traffic noise, mainly big rigs or loud groups of motorcyclist.
This campground is huge! We were in F loop, which is the last loop of the campground and our site was a partial hook-up site on the outside edge so we had a nice view of fields behind us. It was pretty much full sun though and the weekend (Fri-Sun) we were there it was HOT! On Friday when we arrived it was in the upper 90s with pretty high humidity. We pretty much ran our a/c non-stop. Saturday was overcast so we had a bit of a reprieve from the sun, it was still in the mid to upper 80s though. It was a nice walk to the paved trail and there were dirt trails off of that to get down to the river. Even though we had our a/c on at night, I could still hear the peaceful sound of crickets and other night time noises and I found the park to be fairly quiet even though it is right along I-5. There was a ton of space between our site and the sites on either side of us.
We did prior reservations, but the f loop was mostly empty. We had to book online, triggering the $8 convenience fee which is frustrating. The sites are nice, large and well spaced but pretty close to the highway from a noise standpoint. Showers are available, and flush toilets., we'll normally.... lightning took out power just as we arrived and that kills sewers to the showers too. River access is not what I had hopped for, no rocky beach to lay chairs and play with a dog. Instead there is a wonderful river path with intermittent drops down into the river. It was running very fast when we where thwre and this didn't seem a great option for getting the dog a swim. Nice bike path that goes all the way into town. Hopefully power get restored soon, it's over 100F.
This is definitely a campground for families. not much privacy between spots, they are all pretty much right next to eachother. if you’re looking for a more secluded, private campground i wouldn’t recommend this. that being said the nature surrounding the campground is pretty. i’m sure the lake is nice to take a dip in, wouldn’t know because we left early but if you’re just looking for a family vacation this would be a good spot. bathrooms were mostly clean and they have showers! and allowed fires even in the heatwave.
Perfect for a weeknight stop when on the road, bathrooms were clean enough. Quiet on a summer weeknight. Beautiful forest.
Midweek in June and only one other site occupied? Really comfortable campground. Lovely loop trail around a beaver pond. Includes an actual spring with water from Mount McLaughlin. Dry camping only in 2024. No camp host when I was there. But clean with generous, well spaced sites. Probably fills on weekends.
Cute little place near the river. Perfect for bringing your boat to put in the river. Dog park for your furry friends and kids play area.
I had a lovely stay here. It is clean and the views are beautiful. The camp host on Loop D was friendly and kind. No one bothered me. I just loved it here. I have a little older trailer a 2009 and they did not make me feel unwanted like some parks do. I would recommend this park to ALL!!! I meditate and I did not feel uncomfortable at all here meditating outside my RV. Thank you!! ◇◇◇
No it is not perfect. It is close to Hwy 5 so a lot of road noise. But most in this area are. Sites are tight like most KOAs. We chose an end spot and did alright. Plus it was quiet part of year. Many year around residents but was not cluttered. Also sort of kept the short term rentals separate. Nice country location. Good green space to walk dogs. Did not get harassed for walking dogs off leash. We r responsible pet owners. Great laundry room. A little expensive for laundry. Pool table and Pac-Man was used by families. Very clean facilities and flexible manager on when we chose to leave.
Everything was great, RV electrical was perfect (30 and 50 amp available), and loved the scenery and teepee.
We had a relaxing time during our stay at the campground the yurt was warm and cozy, and has a beautiful skylight that you can open if you so choose. You will need to bring your own bedding as it’s only provides you with the furniture there’s electricity as well, but no other amenities in the yurt. The facilities were clean and easily accessible. We would definitely stay here again 
While traveling with my granddaughter, we came up one Sunny Valley. It was perfect. Well cared for, clean and had everything you could hope for. Nice campsites clean facilities a pool, bouncy House playground and horseshoes . The staff was friendly and helpful and we had a great experience would recommend to my friends
Nice, clean campground while en route. Quiet, pet-friendly, power and water are available. Septic is available. Not crowded, sites open during the week, even in August.
I car camped here based on another person's review. To add to her's I did not use a free shower unless you are able to get the code for the bathrooms at the campground from another camper then you can take a free shower. This facility offers RV camping, tps, and I'm open field for tent camping. The facility itself offers a hot soaking pool at 120 degrees that is fed from the hot springs, and a pool that is about 75°. They have restrooms, showers, and private bath houses that you can rent. There are a few snacks and locally made items inside the office. I do have drinking water and free bathroom use around the back side of the building. For car camping there is no shade just a gravel parking lot. There's also an older mobile home park in this area that is separated by a fence from the main facility which is where I can't. I felt safe I did however go stealth camping out of habit.
There are walking trails around the property including a gigantic garden of veggies and flowers. I did pay $15 for a half day use, 9:30 to 4:30, of the hot soaking & regular pools. You are allowed to bring food and drink in just no glass.
Ashland Oregon is known for Shakespeare festival, it is a liberal artsy free love type of town
The man at the front desk was so helpful. Offered to change my site reservation so I got the best site free of charge. Camp is close to the interstate but still quiet. Bathrooms are nice and clean, spot to wash your dishes, wifi is pretty good! Evey site has water and power access. Also has a pool.
The 20 amp electrical box was a bit finicky but we made it work. The host said the C loop had the oldest infrastructure. Nice big sites, LOTS of trees, good because it was HOT (90s) . Lake was 80 % full, Rogue River was spectacular. Highly recommended!!
This is a large, sprawling, very peaceful and green Jackson County campground with several loops.
Loop D is no hookups (though each site has a non-threaded water spigot). Each site also has a grill, a picnic table, and a firepit. It’s so quiet and empty and peaceful during the week, and then practically fills up on the weekends. ATT had good service but the Verizon phone was roaming/ extended network. Still usable but slow and could not use the hotspot.
This campground has one of our favorite dog parks. It’s nicely mowed, thick grass, beautiful surroundings, and huge. You can also rent a boat or kayak and spend the day on the lake- so fun!
Sites without hookups are $28, and electric/water sites are $33. There is a dump station at the entrance, free for use by campers only.
Was set to Harvest Host (dry camp) at a delicious brewery in Grants Pass, OR, for a one-night stopover, but area temps were a scorching 102 degrees. With only solar, it would have been uncomfortable for us and unsafe for our dogs, so we chanced it and scored a one-nighter in the F loop (electric and water only—AC was a necessity until the sun had long set!), thanks to the kind help of a camp host passing by on his quad! F-06 backed up to a field between the site and the Rogue River. We slept wonderfully! $39 for non-Oregon residents. It was a GIFT!!!
Pros:
Cons:
Everyone is so friendly. Staff helpful. The Hot Springs a bonus after a long hike.
Unbelievable rude customer service. Brenda the owner, screamed in child's face"To get the f_ck out of her pool!" Screamed at numerous paying guests that are residing in the RV park to get the f_ck out. Then proceeded to us verbally attack us that were guest of a paid RV tenant trying to have a friendly BBQ with 5 adults and 7 children. Which we never even got the food hot..but did light the bricketts. Brenda, the owner was calling people bit_hes and yelling f_ck you in front of a dozen plus kids aside from my own. All unprovoked. She called the sheriffs and told them we were trespassing and didnt pay. We gladly left and will not return. She also is overcharging guest, check website and your bill closely for sure. We made sure we were allowed to be their, it is open to the public with no fees for bbqing and a small fee for swimming/pond use which we would have gladly paid given the chance. We had the money in envelope just no secure place to pay it as the office was close and no secure lock box exists. Avoid at all cost. The side of road is a better option.... read other reviews those are not lies or exaggeration about the owner Brenda or her husband that sat on a bench enjoying the whole fiasco go down. If you've never dealt with a meth head you will now.
Jake from the Dyrt here! The 777 Guest Ranch has a great location near hiking and the hosts know some great spots nearby. Check them out and make sure to leave a review on the Dyrt!
This is not a glamorous camping experience. That said, the hot springs are wonderful and the campground is comfortable and convenient.
Convenient location right off I5. We enjoyed walking the dogs on the river access trail. Close to the highway but noise wasn’t an issue. Will stay here again on our next trip north.
