Camp on the active 28-acre campus of Wy'East Mountain Academy, where heated glamping tents and adventure rig sites sit alongside a 40,000-square-foot skatepark, a wood-fired sauna, and a cold plunge.
Action Sports Roamer Sites occupies a legendary 28-acre campus in Sandy, Oregon, that has shaped action sports history since 1989. Originally the home of Windells Camp and High Cascade Snowboard Camps, this property now operates as Wy'East Mountain Academy, a training ground for Olympic-level snowboarders, skiers, and skateboarders. The Roamer Sites allow travelers to camp directly on this active campus, offering a rare look into a high-performance sports mecca. Guests share the grounds with aspiring athletes, creating an energetic, focused atmosphere that is entirely unique to this corner of the Mt. Hood foothills.
The accommodations cater to both self-contained road trippers and those seeking a comfortable bed. For glampers, the property features spacious canvas platform tents equipped with electricity, heaters, and crucial mountain amenities like dedicated boot dryers to prep your gear for the next day's runs. Van lifers and those in nimble RVs can park in designated adventure rig sites that provide water and 30-amp electrical hookups. Beyond the tents, the communal infrastructure is built for recovery. A wood-fired outdoor sauna and a spring-fed cold plunge pool sit ready to soothe muscles tired from mountain trails, while a communal campfire ring and picnic tables offer space to swap stories with fellow travelers under the Douglas firs.
What truly sets this stay apart is the unprecedented access to Wy'East's world-class training facilities. During designated guest hours, typically from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on weekdays and 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM on weekends, campers have free rein of the private fitness center and over 40,000 square feet of pristine indoor and outdoor concrete skateboard parks. While local liability regulations mean the campus trampolines and dirt bike tracks are off-limits to guests, the legendary Sandy Ridge trail system is located just across the street, offering some of the finest mountain biking in the Pacific Northwest. Combined with reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi reaching up to 75 Mbps even inside the canvas tents, the property functions as a highly connected, athletic basecamp just minutes from the snowline of Mt. Hood.
Bring your skateboard and a swimsuit: guest access to the massive indoor and outdoor concrete skateparks is included, and the wood-fired sauna and spring-fed cold plunge are perfect after a day on the mountain.
