Under Canvas Announces First Pacific Northwest Camp

Under Canvas has announced its first-ever Pacific Northwest location: Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge. Launching in the summer 2025, the brand’s 13th camp is set on a 120-acre property along the Columbia River Gorge in Washington’s White Salmon River Valley, a region known for its peaks, waterfalls and wineries. Surrounded by pine and oak forested hillsides, Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge will open for its inaugural season on May 29, 2025, and is now accepting reservations for stays through October 27, 2025.

The new camp is a 45-minute drive from Mount Hood and a one-hour drive along the Columbia River from Portland, OR. It is located less than 15 miles from White Salmon, WA, and 25 miles from Hood River, OR, two quintessential Pacific Northwest towns known for their variety of outdoor adventures, coffee shops and bakeries, breweries and wine tastings, and variety of popular seasonal events. Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge offers easy access to the White Salmon River, a 44-mile tributary of the Columbia River. In addition to offering seamless access to outdoor recreation, the camp sits in the heart of wine country, with 10 vineyards and wineries within 10 miles of the property.

The region is best known for the Columbia River Gorge, a canyon carved by the Columbia River that stretches over 80 miles, forming the boundary between Washington and Oregon. Up to 4,000 feet deep in some places, the gorge is home to towering cliffs, waterfalls and opportunities for outdoor adventures. Under Canvas’ Adventure Concierge can assist guests in curating and booking local experiences ranging from rafting, paddleboarding and fishing, to guided hiking, mountain biking and more. An on-site Guest Experience Coordinator will be available to recommend favorite local hikes, excursions and must-see attractions.

Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge offers upscale, safari-inspired canvas tents on elevated private decks. Each tent is furnished with a plush king-size bed, luxe linens, USB charging packs, bedside lanterns, a gas fireplace and en-suite bathrooms with a hot pull-chain shower, sink and flushing toilet. Unique lodging tent accommodations include the brand’s proprietary Stargazer Tent, complete with viewing window above the bed for stargazing, as well as the Mount Hood Suite Tent, comprising two tents adjoined by a private deck, with its own outdoor area.

The camp’s lobby tent includes comfortable lounge spaces, a boutique retail offering, and books and games. The cafe-style dining program offers a full breakfast and dinner menu showcasing seasonal dishes, as well as a selection of wines and craft beers from the area. Grab-and-go lunch items and snacks will be available for purchase throughout the day.

Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge will also offer onsite programming for guests, including acoustic live music, daily yoga, kids’ activities, nightly s’mores and more. Brand partnerships will provide complimentary guest use of mats and yoga blocks, hiking poles and a guitar for a fireside strum. Additional partnerships provide access to retail offerings for purchase, including activewear, sweats and hats, drinkware, sun products, wool products and an exclusive Under Canvas line of apparel.

To encourage guests’ immersion in nature, Wi-Fi is not available for guest use at camp. The brand’s commitment to minimizing light pollution and protecting the night sky via low-level lighting and other DarkSky development principles are earning Under Canvas recognition for having the first-ever DarkSky-certified resorts in the world.

The inaugural season for Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge runs until October 27, 2025, with its regular season running May through October. For more information, visit www.undercanvas.com.
