Living a low-key, countryside life in Southwest Oregon

Camas Valley is a family -farming community in Southwest Oregon surrounded by the Calapooya Mountains and the South Umpqua River, and an hour away from the beach. The area has a namesake farm, Camas Valley Ranch, and one school that provides K-12 education, Camas Valley Charter School. “Camas has a strong community pride,” says David Jaques, Broker/Owner of Al Pine Real Estate 1, who has lived in the area for nearly four decades. “There’s a close-knit feeling that’s boosted by the school system.” Employment is centered around logging in Camas Valley, Jaques says, and the Camas Valley Rural Fire District Station is another big employer. “People who have moved here from the city are looking for a more low-key lifestyle that’s better for their health. For example, people can grow their own food here,” says Melanie McLeod, owner of McLeod’s Lavender, a local farm specializing in lavender items. She has lived in the area for 20 years. “The reason I brought a home here is because I wanted a healthier lifestyle,” she says.

Hiking and horseback riding

Instead of having traditional recreation such as tennis, disc golf, or playgrounds, Camas Valley has activities like hiking, horseback riding and fishing. The nearest conventional park is Iverson Memorial County Park 14 miles away, but people tend to have enough acres for private green spaces. “My home has 8 acres, which gives me a place to walk my dog,” says McLeod. “Essentially, I have my own personal dog park.” People visit Euphoria Ridge to hike and bike the trails. Cougar Ridge Ranch, an equestrian facility 10 miles away, offers people a place to relax, take in serene mountain views and ride horses.

Oregon wildfire season

One downside to the nature in Camas Valley is wildfire season, a period from July to October when the area is highly prone to forest fires. Luckily, there are federal forest policies to reduce the risk. Oregon insurance code requires every homeowner's insurance policy to include wildfire coverage. FEMA, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, offers tips and resources. The Douglas Forest Protective Association and Coos Forest Protective Association work with the Oregon Department of Forestry to prevent wildfires.
