Under CanvasHillside glamping basecamp
Fifty safari tents spread across a 120-acre hillside facing Mount Hood, trading Wi-Fi and wall outlets for dark skies.
“The design is consistent with the glamping brand’s style—all safari-inspired tents, with low-impact infrastructure and a commitment to light footprints throughout the campsite.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Though it’s tempting to doze by the fireplace inside your elegant safari-style tent with its luxurious king-sized bed — or sit reading for hours on its private deck — a natural playground awaits outside.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Local vineyards dot the valley within ten miles, and guided rafting runs down the nearby White Salmon River.
The rooms
Tents stand on timber platforms with push-button gas fireplaces and pull-chain showers. Stargazer tents add skylights over the bed.
The yoga deck
Morning yoga takes place on an outdoor deck overlooking the valley, with complimentary Lululemon mats ready for practice.
At the table
The timber dining pavilion opens glass garage doors to outdoor tables, serving Columbia River salmon and regional wines.
The spacious tents are equipped with West Elm furnishings, bedside lanterns, USB charging packs, gas fireplaces, and en suite bathrooms with hot pull-chain showers, sinks, and flushing toilets.
