Hi, I'm Brett!

I was born at St. Charles in Bend, Oregon. I recently moved back to Bend with big dreams for my family, and I need your support.

Friends of Calico Princess Hipcamp @ The Jolley Ranch,We’re asking for your help.Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of hosting travelers, families, remote workers, job seekers, and people exploring Central Oregon. Many guests have told us they found housing, accepted local jobs, supported local businesses, or discovered the community they now call home because they stayed here.In addition to supporting local businesses, guests who stay here contribute directly through state and county lodging taxes. These taxes help fund local services and tourism-related programs while allowing visitors to experience Central Oregon in a rural setting. We believe responsible, well-managed small-scale camping can provide benefits to both visitors and the local community.As we work through local permitting and land-use questions regarding short-term camping, positive feedback from past guests can make a meaningful difference.If you’ve enjoyed your stay, we would greatly appreciate a brief letter or email describing:• When you stayed here
• What you enjoyed about the property
• How your visit benefited you or your family
• Any positive impact your stay had on the local community or economy
• Why you believe small, rural camping opportunities like this should continue to exist
If you haven't stayed with us, feel free to share your camping and/or tourism experience in Central Oregon to show your support.Letters may be sent directly to us, and with your permission may be shared with local officials as part of the public record.Thank you for supporting small family-operated camping experiences in Central Oregon. We are grateful for every guest who has chosen to stay with us and be part of this community.— Brett & Family
