Vernonia Springs is approximately halfway between Portland and Cannon Beach so be sure to drop by on your way to the beautiful Oregon coast.
Vernonia Springs had been a u-catch trout farm for over 70 years when we purchased the property back in 2013. The property consists of 28 acres of forest land with a pond, creek and many springs (hence the name). Over the last five years, we went through the legal process of converting the property to a private park so others could also enjoy this very special and unique place. This is our second full season of operation … so please bear with us as we slowly but surely bring this property back to where it should be. We will look forward to seeing you out here!

The “day lodge” will keep you cool on the hot days and warm by the fire when it is cold outside. Inside the lodge you will find tables and chairs for eating meals, playing games, web surfing and hanging out. The lodge is open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.
The peeled log pavilion was the only significant structure in place when we purchased the property … and is it ever something special! The logs were all taken from the property over thirty years ago and raised by hand to build this beautiful structure. During the summer we enjoy an outstanding Mediterranean climate … so you will most likely want to spend a good amount of time chilling out here.
The pavilion sits next to the trout pond and the floating dock, so hanging out here is pretty special. Whether you are relaxing in one of the hammocks or suspended chairs … take your time … there is no rush! If you are feeling up to it we have games available for use such as Beanbag Toss, Giant Jenga, Bocce Ball as well as other lawn and board games.

In 2016 we began renting three yurts on AirBnB and enjoyed great success … thank you! In 2019 we will have a total of five yurts available for rent. See all of our five-star reviews HERE.
The yurts and wall tents are truly something special and redefine what “Glamping” should be all about! We looked at every yurt manufacturer in the U.S. and went with Pacific Yurts out of Cottage Grove Oregon. There simply isn’t a higher quality yurt made anywhere.
Each of our five yurts is 200 sq. ft. and exceptionally clean and well maintained. Each yurt has a queen bed, quality comforter, sheets, pillows, and towels. Also included is a heater, lighting, wifi, and power to recharge your phone. We have what you need for overnight accommodations. Search for yurt rental availability HERE.

Starting in 2019 our wall tents will only be available for group campouts. The canvas wall tents we provide are the highest quality available and made by a local company by the name Beckel Tents.
Beckel has been producing these tents for over 50 years in SE Portland. If you pay them a visit you can watch them stitch your tent right before your eyes … very cool! These 12′ x 12′ wall tents are set up on platforms and supported by rough sawn cedar internal frame.
All the wood was harvested and milled locally. This is as good as it gets for tent Glamping! The tent includes a queen bed, quality comforter, sheets, pillows, and towels. Also included is lighting and power to recharge your phone or computer.[/cs_text][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”35″ ][x_image type=”none” src=”https://www.vernoniasprings.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/rsz_drone_wall_tent.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][cs_text]Hillbilly Wall Tent[/cs_text][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”38″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”39″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”40″ ][x_image type=”none” src=”https://www.vernoniasprings.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Starlight-campfire.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][cs_text]Campfire and S’mores[/cs_text][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”43″ ][cs_text]Group Camping
If you have a group you would like to camp with … Vernonia Springs might just be the place you are looking for! Group rental options include yurts, wall tents, 2-person tent rentals and high-quality meal plans. All that your group has to do is show up and enjoy your stay … we do the rest! Contact Us to inquire about package deals for your group.
Our Yurts and tents don’t have running water but our nearby modern bathroom and shower building offers individual locking shower and bathroom units so you don’t have to share with others while in use. We pride ourselves on providing the cleanest bath and shower rooms you will ever see at an outdoor facility like this.
At night relax by the warm fire while reminiscing with friends and family about the day’s adventures. Do you love roasting marsh mellows and or making S’mores over the fire … don’t worry we have you covered!
Vernonia Springs is truly the “jumping off point” for the Banks-Vernonia State Trail. The BV trail as they call it is a 21 mile paved “rails-to-trails” bicycle trail that runs from Banks to Vernonia. The BV Trail is also part of the Tualatin Valley Scenic Bikeway. Vernonia Springs is located 6 miles up the trail from downtown Vernonia and 15 miles from Banks in the Tualatin Valley. The trail entrance at Vernonia Springs is less than 200 feet from the straw bale lodge.

If you don’t bring your own bicycles … we are now renting Trek hybrid and comfort cruiser bikes. Whether you are a first-time rider with a lower level of fitness or an experienced rider in awesome shape … these bikes will allow you to comfortably cruise the trail. Last year we completed the “Big Shorty” ½ mile multi-use trail on the property. Whether you want to take your MTB bike for a quick spin or take a relaxing walk … the Big Shorty is a beautiful and relaxing way to unwind. The trail starts at the pond and winds through forest and pastureland. The BV trail is also available for walking/hiking as well. Learn more about bicycle rentals HERE.
