I have a nice tree in my backyard, the base is easily 10+ feet in circumference.

I want to build my son a tree house. More correctly I want to build a tree house with my son.

I was wondering if there is a good site with suggested plans. I am not entirely sure how to tie into the tree trunk, in terms of the trees health and whatnot.

The first branch is 30+ feet up, so it would be just around a nice clean, cylindrical tree body.

A good design would be what @Tester101 suggested. Build a platform around the tree. On one side of the platform could be the tree house. Some examples are here:

There's a good picture of platform around a tree, now just imagine a bigger platform with a tree house on one side of it.
