Treehouse Camping in Cave Junction, Oregon

Out 'n' About Offers Unique Camping Experience

Sleeping under the stars to the sounds of crickets and the occasional whinny of a horse or two. Sure, it's camping outdoors. But, when you wake in the morning, careful where you step, because you might be 35 feet off the ground. That is, if you are sleeping in a Tree House in Oregon.

Out ‘n' About (www.treehouses.com), a Treesort and Institute of Tree House construction is located just outside Cave Junction in southern Oregon. The campsite encompasses about 10 different, beautifully constructed tree houses for its guests. Some tree houses have their own bath facilities. But all are within an easy walk of indoor full bathrooms and showers. Out ‘n' About is the perfect camping adventure for the less adventurous camper. Your kids will enjoy sleeping in a tree house. You will enjoy indoor heating, fresh brewed coffee and a camp full of other children to entertain your little campers.

Reservations must be made months ahead. So, plan early for your next summer vacation. You can choose from the more luxurious SutieTree Room which houses up to 6 and contains all amenities (including a claw foot tub); $200/night. Or, try the TreePee, which sleeps about 4 comfortably (two on a bed, two on floor pads); $120/night. The other tree houses fall within this range of prices, though most are closer to the TreePee cost. If you are not interested in being more than 30 feet off the ground, or traveling to your den via a Treeway (swinging foot bridge), don't reserve the Treezebo, Forestree, or the Mastree (actually the upstairs of the main cabin, but you need to walk on the footbridge).

This treesort is more of an outdoor B & B. Every morning, Treefaires bake fresh muffins, delicious quiches or frittatas, Belgian waffles; and, offer juice, coffee, milk and nearly anything else you might want. The site is actually in Takilma, within the Siskyou Mountains and a stone's throw from the Illinois River. Although there is plenty on the Tree House grounds to keep all campers busy, you are still a short drive from a swim in the Illinois River or day trip within the quaint roadside town of Cave Junction.
