I don’t want to stay just anywhere when I visit Willamette Valley…I want to find the best glamping in Wine Country! That’s because coming home to a unique yurt, luxury tent, vintage camper, and the like makes my wine trip extra special.
I’ve been fortunate enough to stay in a few different glamping spots in the Willamette Valley. So if you’re looking for unique places to stay during your trip, here’s where to find the best glamping in Oregon Wine Country!

Willamette Valley Visitors Association invited a few bloggers from Seattle down to Oregon to experience Willamette Valley in fall. I worked with them to plan a lovely trip for us that included hiking and glamping in Oregon Wine Country. Here are the fab ladies who joined me (from left to right):
- Marissa of Postcards to Seattle
- Emma of Emma’s Edition
- Kate of All Things Kate
- Adria of The Emerald Palate (me!)
- Jenn of Hello Rigby
- Ashley of Ashley Cook Photography (not pictured because she was behind the lens!)
During our trip we stayed at the first two glamping in Oregon spots listed below. The other glamping spots in Willamette Valley I found myself. If you’d like me to plan a custom vacation just for you, I’d be happy to recreate this itinerary for you!
Best Glamping in Oregon Wine Country
All of these are within the Willamette Valley region in the northwest quadrant of Oregon. Oregon is the third largest wine region in the US behind California Wine Country and Washington. Learn more about the region and its AVAs in my guide to the best Oregon wines.
The Vintages Trailer Resort
link to book | location: Dayton, OR | rates: ~$110+/night | vibe: tiny living with vintage charm
The Vintages is probably my favorite glamping in Oregon Wine Country. It’s not like any other trailer park you’ve seen. Sure, one side of the grounds is for people to park their RV, but the other side has rows of vintage trailers dotting a tree-lit street.
And these aren’t the run-down trailers of your nightmares.
They’ve been restored and cleaned to include modern amenities. If you’ve ever heard of Autocamp Russian River outside of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, California or Bay Point Landing on Oregon Coast’s Coos Bay, this RV park is similar!
You’ll find vintage and airstream trailers gutted and reimagined with hair conditioning, incredibly comfy beds, TVs, mini fireplaces, and a kitchen with really good pour over coffee. Each trailer looks different and comes with bikes, a grill, and outdoor seating.
Most of the trailers also have a toilet and shower in them, but you’ll likely want to make use of the pool house restrooms for some privacy. The first time I stayed here the bathroom was only separated by a curtain, so it could get a bit smelly. This visit with Willamette Valley Visitors Association, I stayed in a trailer with a door and the toilet was on the opposite side of the trailer from the bed.
You can also find wine, s’more packs, and other goodies from you can purchase from the lodge gift shop to enjoy at the hot tub or pool on the property at this glamping wine country spot.
As someone who isn’t much of a camper, I was nervous about what these would be like. But I can say they are as cute as a button and perfect for people looking to go glamping in Oregon Wine Country!
Tipi Village Retreat
link to book | location: Marcola, OR | rate: ~$145 – $160/night for 2-person tent | vibe: secluded forest retreat honoring Indigenous culture
The Tipi Village Retreat is about 30 minutes outside of Eugene near the Willamette National Forest and its hiking trails. This glamping wine country property is run by the warm, quirky couple Ken Froebig and Janet Becker (and they’re sweet dog too!). Ken has always been interested in Indigenous culture and had the idea to share his passion with others by opening a place to go glamping in Oregon Wine Country on his secluded property.
“The tipis are traditional Lakota-style tipis, and we build them in the traditional way, facing East,” says Ken in an interview with Eugene Magazine.
I’d never seen a teepee in real life and was amazed at how grand these canvas tents are. They tower 2 stories high! And when you step inside the tipis, you’re greeted with stone floors layered with rugs, comfortable beds, cozy blankets, and simple furnishings.
There aren’t any outlets, per say, but white Christmas lights line the perimeter of the teepees so I used the open socket on those to charge my phone at night. And I absolutely loved the ambiance the lights provided…as well as the night light, as I’m a city girl at heart and may have been a bit nervous in the big bad forest by myself!
I stayed in the Sitting Bull tipi, but there are 7 other tipis to choose from.
I love how Ken put some history about each of the chiefs the tipis are named after on the website.
There are also 4 other accommodations to choose from if you don’t want to go super rustic when glamping in Oregon: a cabin, garden cottage, studio, and main bedroom. The main bedroom has its own bathroom, but all the other accommodations share 2 full bathrooms setup near Ken and Janet’s house.
I’m admittedly a bit of a neat freak and was nervous about what the shared bathroom situation would be like. So I was pleased that they were cleaner than I thought they’d be! But do be prepared for spiders, both in the bathrooms and your accommodations. You are glamping in Oregon Wine Country after all!
The property itself is off a backroad and is quite secluded. One thing to prepare for is that your cell phone might not work. We all had different providers and none of ours worked. I have Verizon and the only place it worked slowly was in my teepee, Sitting Bull. I also found the wifi spotty. So get ready for a disconnected experience!
I loved the fairy forest ambiance of the property.
There is a garden, chickens, and trails that weave between all the tipis. Each tipi feels secluded and has privacy, but all the other tipis were in screaming distance of each other. You know, just in case.
The main hub of the property is around Ken and Janet’s house. They have a beautiful setup. There’s a creek that runs behind their house and lawn chairs and hammocks dotted along it. They have the most baller outdoor kitchen setup, with a pizza oven, grill, sink…pretty much a serious cook’s dream. Ken and Janet cook most of the meals outside and offer the space for guests to use if they’d like.
There is also a fire pit and patio with chairs and umbrellas for enjoying breakfast. If the weather isn’t permitting, Ken and Janet will serve breakfast inside. And breakfast is good. When we went there were eggs, pancakes, bagels, lox, cream cheese, tomatoes, avocado, potatoes, fruit, and sausage.
The Tipi Village Retreat is only open for Oregon Wine Country glamping in the summer. You can book a stay for your own trip or join one of the countless yoga retreats hosted there. They also host a ton of weddings if you’re looking for a unique wedding destination in Oregon’s wine country. It’s a short drive from Eugene and its popular 5th Street Public Market and wineries, so wedding guests will have a lot to do in the area.
My overall take of this place?
Super cute, good breakfast, and warm hosts. It’s probably one of the most unique glamping in Willamette Valley experiences you can have!
What to prepare for? Lack of wifi/cell service and creepy crawlies. They did a great job adding comforts and rustic, chic touches, but you are indeed still camping in a tent. There will be bugs. There will be silence. And there are shared bathrooms. But, hey, it’s definitely a huge step up from sleeping on the ground and pooping in the woods.
The Bali House
link to book | location: Scott’s Mill, OR | rates: ~$161/night | size: 1 bed, 1 bath | vibe: greenhouse fairy tale
My jaw dropped when I first stumbled across the Oregon Wine Country glamping gem. It’s a 2-story greenhouse with tons of light and greenery throughout that speaks to my plant parent heart.
The loft has a comfortable bed with 500 thread count sheets and cozy down comforter. Downstairs is a seating area and private hot tub for your personal use. There are also a fire pit and barbecue outside, plus the private fully-operational bathroom is only a short walk away in the barn.
Wine Country Treehouse
website | location: Newberg, OR | rates: ~$218/night | size: 1 bed, 1 bath | vibe: cozy and bright
The Wine Country Treehouse & Herbal Farm is in the Dundee Hills, one of the best areas for exploring Willamette Valley’s wine scene given its proximity to the tasting rooms. It sits on a small family farm and provides private access to a bathroom in the main house that’s all yours during your stay.
This Willamette Valley glamping spot was built by the treehouse master himself, Pete Nelson of Animal Planet’s TreeHouse Master. As such it was featured in countless magazines and provides plenty of opportunities for photos.
The Forest Oasis
website | location: Banks, OR | rates: ~$68/night | size: 1 bed, 1 bath | vibe: luxury camping in a safari-style tent
The Forest Oasis is a large glamping tent fitted with a regular bed, furniture, blankets, and a sound machine. It sits on its own private deck with a fire pit and has access to a regular bathroom in the main house. If you’ve ever heard of the canvas tents at Panacea at the Canyon in central Oregon or Safari West near Napa, this is similar!
What makes this Oregon Wine Country glamping option special is all the amenities on the property. For example, there is a volleyball court, horseshoes, soccer net, refurbished yoga barn, meditation tent, labyrinth, outdoor hot tub, and a variety of peaceful garden seating areas perfect for unwinding after a day of wine tasting.
Yurt at Shady Oaks
website | location: Salem, OR | rates: ~$121/night | size: 1 bed, 1 bath | vibe: modern suburban living | pet friendly
The Yurt at Shady Oaks is one of the largest yurts I’ve ever seen. It looks like your typical yurt on the outside. But when you go inside you’re greeted with expansive ceilings and a vibe as if you walked into someone’s suburban home!
There is a full size kitchen, dining room, two couches, a TV, a separate bedroom, bathroom…it’s huge! Plus it allows dogs, which many of these glamping in Oregon Wine Country options do not allow. Given it’s prime location near the award-winning wineries of the Eola Amity Hills AVA, this is a perfect luxury camping option in Oregon!
Container Suite Retreat
website | location: Milwaukie, OR | rates: ~$172/night | size: 1 bed, 1 bath | vibe: mid century shipping container | pet friendly
The Container Suite Retreat is what I want to do with our backyard. They built a rental property out of a shipping container, outfitting it with a ton of modern conveniences like a foam bed, rain shower, modern bathroom, and kitchen.
But the main draw at this spot is the property. The shipping containers themselves are tucked into a garden oasis. But they didn’t stop there. They added a fire pit, wood-fired cedar hot tub, and mother friggin’ Finnish sauna with another tub offering a cold soak! To really take the spa-like vibes over the top, they’ve invited a massage clinic from nearby to provide massages right on the property next to the babbling water of the rivulet (small stream) nearby.
Tiny Perch
link to book | location: Sherwood, OR | rates: ~$75/night | size: 1 bed, 1 bath | vibe: colorful farmhouse chic | pet friendly
The Tiny Perch is but one of a few tiny homes clustered in a glamping hub near Tulatin Valley, an under-the-radar wine country area just north of Willamette Valley and west of Portland. This tiny home is bright yellow and has similarly happy colors inside. The tiny home has a deck perfect for star gazing and a shared fire pit screaming for s’mores.
Tranquil Glamping Yurt
website | location: Springfield, OR | rates: ~$73/night | size: 1 bed, 1 bath | vibe: minimalist feminine | pet friendly
The Tranquil Glamping Yurt near Eugene has such a modern, fresh vibe. Inside this yurt you’ll find a four-poster bed, antique furniture, vintage rug, and carefully-placed plants for a feminine but not too girly vibe. It’s right next to a horse pasture and as a cool outhouse and shower.

This is the cutest post! I’ve never been glamping but this totally looks like something I’d like to do! I’ve had a hard time finding a good one in the Seattle-area so I guess I should check out Oregon!
Adria Saracino says
Yay, happy to share this with you! The Vintages are pretty close outside of Portland so the drive isn’t too far. I highly recommend it!
Amanda says
