Your Own Base Camp Where the Pines Take Over
Every trip has an end time. You load up the family, drive to somebody else's campground, follow somebody else's rules, and pack it all back up on Sunday. You've been wanting a camp that stays put.
Here's one. 1.53 acres of ponderosa in the Oregon Pines, with room for the tent, the trailer, and a fire ring the kids will fight over (they always do). Camp it for three weeks at a stretch, and when you're ready for a roof, put up a cabin where the pines give the best shade.
You're in the pines between Chiloquin and Sprague River, OR, about an hour from Chiloquin on back roads, with national forest land about half a mile away. Crater Lake is under two hours up the road, and at 1,949 feet it's the deepest lake in the United States, sitting in the caldera of a volcano that collapsed about 7,700 years ago.
The trade is that there's no power at the lot. Solar and a water tank cover it (plus a good cooler), and a camp this quiet doesn't ask for more.
The best family traditions are usually just a place you keep going back to. This one can be yours to go back to.
