Located on Mount Hood about an hour from Portland, Zigzag Mountain Farm is home to an organic garden, old homestead, house, yurts, and barn. 50 acres of open meadows and forest, bordering thousands of acres of national forest.   The farm is home to an organic garden, campfire circle, picnic area, a city bus with a campers' kitchen, outdoor seating area with BBQ, kids play structure and hiking trails.  The cabin on the property was built by the original homesteaders. Britta and Jim purchased the property in 2009. It had been vacant for a number of years. Giant slash piles scattered the land from previous logging.  The house and cabin were not livable and needed major renovations. In 2019 we purchased and brought in a city bus and converted it to a campers kitchen.  A year-round creek flows through the property and 3 major rivers are nearby. The Zigzag Mountain Lookout Trail leaves from the property. The property was homesteaded in the late 1800's. E. Mountain Drive was the wagon train trail into Portland, known as the Barlow Trail.  Zigzag Mountain farm offers the perfect escape from the city.About a 1-hour drive from Portland on the base of Mount Hood, Zigzag Mountain farm offers the perfect escape from the city with 50 acres of meadows and forest, bordering thousands of acres of national forest.  Camping is not designated by sites, but by areas.

Very communal camping vibe with gre
This is a great little gem. Hot showers, flush toilets, and that converted bus kitchen is fantastic. And bonus for having power strips to recharge phones! They've got spring water to drink, a beautiful walking trail, it was just really great land and the little creek was adorable. Lots of places to just hang out other than your tent. They have different areas with tables and chairs to sit at, a fridge, and barbecues. I loved the communal fire pit, it was really social and someone else built the fire;). They provided the wood too. The staff was wonderful and accommodating, very friendly (shout out to Tom!). Cute bunnies, too. Very dog friendly. Really close to the Dollar Store, Thriftway and some restaurants so it was easy to grab ice and day-use hiking permits. Only like 15 minutes from Little Zig Zag Falls and maybe 30 to get to the lodge. All in all, a really great location and I would totally go again.

Sites are nicely spaced out - felt very private. Great trails to walk the dogs. Very cool renovated bus to prepare meals and hang out; that was our daughter’s favorite thing!
