The 11 Best Campsites to Book This Summer – Thrillist

14 guests/ $85 per night ($25 fee per additional person after first 4 guests, hosts may be willing to accommodate more than 14 campers)

With a killer location along the Klamanth River, surrounded by mountains, there’s no better place to stay with a group (or a partner) than at this incredible campsite set on 27 acres of wild, beautiful land. Despite the fairly remote location, guests are hardly roughing it here, since the site comes with a number of amenities. Cook meals in the kitchen structure, which has running water (hot and cold! ) and a two-burner propane stove, utilize the grill, and dispose of food in the composter provided. Relax around the fire pit (which comes stocked with firewood), tables, and benches. You won’t get cell service here, but there are even lights and an electrical outlet. Toilet facilities are also onsite. As for activities, well, you have private river access for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and more. And it’s a great place to observe nature, with deer, otters, ospreys, blue herons, foxes, and black bears, among other critters.

What guests say: “We spent six nights at Animal Land and it was magical! This is truly a special place away from it all, and our camp host Ken was simply wonderful. Each day we would walk from our tent/camp area down to the river (3-5 min walk) and swim, kayak or paddleboard, fish and generally hang out in the river! Lots of animal sightings including a bald eagle plus youth (wow! ) and much to our 7 year olds’ delight, a friendly fox who would visit in the evenings. We came home relaxed and having felt like we truly stepped out of wilderness but without having to rough it too much! I highly recommend!! ”
