5 Mile Hike-In Camp for A CauseConnect with your spirit of adventure & support preserving a stunning forest property! Miles of private trails along with direct access to Fall Creek State Park.
You make arrangements to be dropped off at the trail head, following Fall Creek for most of your journey toward camp. There is a moderately steep climb out of the canyon floor to the ridge top which is .4 miles long, and another mile along a protected ridge before arriving at your primitive camp. The total journey is just over 5 miles. Your camp site is private, quiet, and surrounded by loving Redwood, Madrone, Oak, and Doug Fir trees. No wifi, no electricity. You, unplugged. After your visit, you pack it up and hike out, practicing Leave No Trace principles. 100% of the proceeds we raise go toward preserving the trees you are sleeping under from a timber harvest. Please read the FAQ before requesting an invitation! |

Hike-In Camp FAQ
Can I drive my car there?
No. The backcountry camp is only accessible via a hike through Fall Creek State Park.
Can you describe the hike in?
It is a moderate hike that mostly follows Fall Creek through the canyon floor. There is a .4 mile section that climbs up to the ridge that is steep, and the last mile is along a wide trail to the camp sites. There are some sections where you will have to cross the creek via bridges or logs and duck under fallen trees, including some that may necessitate taking off your pack. It is gorgeous, and not too strenuous for too long.
Can you bring supplies in by car?
No. We are cleaning and restoring the land, which includes minimizing using vehicles to reach the site.
Can you describe the camp sites?
Sure, they are primitive. There is a spigot that is a short walk from the sites that you can use to refill your water bottles, but other than that, we provide a flat spot on the ground for you to pitch your tent.
Do I have to pack out my poop?
No. We send you more details about your stay, what to expect, and a packing list when you make a reservation.
Is there a place to refill water?
Yes, it is a two-minute walk from your camp site to a spigot with filtered spring water.
Do you allow pets?
No, dogs are not permitted in Fall Creek State Park, and our active wildlife is very unsafe for cats and other domestic animals.
What is this Care Forest Project about?
A care forest provides space for people to balance, breathe, and restore themselves through intentional time in their natural habitat among the trees. The focus of a care forest depends on the needs of the community, but at the heart of the work is an intention to support people seeking increased mental health and resilience. The pilot project has a particular focus on offering support for people living with grief. The plan is to help others establish their own care forests as a complement to existing available mental health support.
