Hoodland Basecamp at Scrumpy Farest

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents39 acres · Sandy, OR
*** On/around October 1, 2024 we will be shutting down the waterlines to the camp bathroom+shower to avoid frozen and burst water lines. Sites will still be available, and the toilet will still be operational, but water for showers, washing and drinking water will not be available until May 2025. Thank you!! Wanna have a home base for your Hoodland escapades? We're right at the doorstep to Portland, Cascades, Columbia River Gorge, even the coast! Sick of city life's craziness? We've got your forest fix without the campground menagerie. Fancy living the farm life for a hot minute? You'll keep company with the sheep, chickens, ducks, and pigs but won't actually have to do the morning chores. Our farm is 39 acres of orchard, pasture, gardens and rewilding forest, . We're raising food AND making space for wildlife and nature to thrive. Campsites are all private forest hideaways with wood-chip pads and redwood furniture. We like to think of it as Four Seasons camping: more stars, more nature, but a bit less room service. And if pitching a tent is pinching your style, we've got you covered with a couple of tent-furnished sites too. Explore our trails, peep at the animals, find your zen in a forest bath. Please remember to close the gates behind you, and observe local fire restrictions. And please pack out your trash and leave your campsite looking tidy for the next guest. Need more info?
