Nestled in the depths of the Willamette National Forest lies a hidden cove of serenity and beauty. Yukwah Campground is where I randomly chose to stop back from the Oregon coast in June.
Each primitive camp spot was shrouded with moss-covered trees, lush ferns, and quiet. Of course, there were other campers there but due to the dense forest surrounding you, it was hard to tell that. Giving you a splendid sense of privacy and seclusion.

Lots of trails. Bridges that overlooked the river. Vaulted toilets close by too, which was nice. This was a magical place. So lush. So green. So peaceful.
A man even came around selling firewood. I didn’t have any cash on me at the time and he offered up some firewood to me for free so I could cook and stay warm. I traded him the firewood for a painting I had done earlier in the month. Talk about win win!
