Alright, here’s the real deal: when we’re out there, we’re stepping into the natural homes of animals, so occasional wildlife encounters are just part of the experience. Camp Yoshi can’t guarantee you’ll never see a bear, deer, or other wild animal.

But don’t worry, we come prepared—our guides always carry bear spray as a precaution, and we follow Leave No Trace principles to keep animals uninterested in us by properly storing and disposing of trash and food. That’s the main reason most animal run-ins happen, and we take it seriously.

We got you covered! Each camper gets their own one-person tent for privacy and comfort, and if you're looking to buddy up, two-person tents are available upon request. We’re thrilled to partner with Snow Peak, so you’ll be sleeping in their Amenity Dome tents—designed for comfort, style, and that next-level durability you want out in the elements. These tents are your own little sanctuary under the stars, making sure you’re well-rested and ready to dive into the next adventure.

On our longer, domestic & international expeditions, we elevate the experience even further. You'll stay in boutique hotels and beautiful, locally-owned riads, giving you a warm, authentic home base while soaking in the unique vibe of each destination. Rest easy, knowing we’ve thought through every detail to make your outdoor experience as comfortable as it is unforgettable.

At Camp Yoshi, we’re serious about making sure you get the best sleep outdoors—no roughing it here. Each camper receives a premium sleeping kit featuring a HEST Sleeping Pad & Pillow, NEMO Jazz Sleeping Bag, and our Custom CY Heavy Duty Camp Blanket.

Our HEST pads are built for ultimate comfort, with thick memory foam that feels like you’re sleeping on a real bed, not the ground. These pads have just the right amount of give to support you all night, designed to keep you warm and cushioned in any weather. And that NEMO Jazz bag? It’s roomy and soft, perfect for stretching out. Topped off with our custom blanket, this setup is engineered to give you the kind of sleep you’ll only find at Camp Yoshi.

Let’s keep it real—when it comes to getting clean out in nature, it’s all about that Camp Yoshi level you choose. For our more rugged “Trips to Nowhere” experiences, we keep it classic: pop-up restroom tents are set up at each campsite, and for showers, you’ll get a supply of Shower Pouches that work wonders. And for those who want to get really connected, there’s always the option to rinse off in creeks or lakes, just be sure to bring along some biodegradable soap to keep things eco-friendly.

If you’re on one of our more aspirational Expeditions, where lux meets wild beauty, rest assured: we’ve got actual showers on the itinerary. Many of our boutique lodges come with spa-level showers and actual spas so you can enjoy the great outdoors without missing out on your hot shower. We’ve done the research and selected spots where you’ll get the best of both worlds—wilderness vibes and modern comforts. Whatever trip you’re on, we got you covered for comfort, nature-style.

Absolutely, this trip was made for you. Camp Yoshi’s whole magic is transforming the outdoors into an experience where even non-campers and non-adventurers feel at home in nature. We set you up for success from day one, making sure comfort and ease are woven into everything we do. Plus, this is an ideal way to learn camping basics that’ll give you the confidence to plan your own outdoor adventures down the road.

No worries if this is your first time—we’ve got you. Before your trip, you’ll receive a detailed camper’s guide on what to bring, what to expect, and tips for making the most of your time outside.

Camp Yoshi is rooted in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, specifically Portland, Oregon. It’s where our adventures begin, and where our team draws so much inspiration from the lush landscapes, mountains, and rivers that make this area a natural playground. From Portland, we set out on journeys across Oregon and beyond, but this city—its vibrant culture and rich outdoor scene—is our launching point. It’s a place that matches our vibe: creative and full of hidden gems just waiting to be explored.
