30mi from Government Camp · 10 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Estacada, OR

We purchased this slice of paradise in 2003 as a place to relax, recharge, and someday build our dream home. It started as nothing more than a gravel road leading to a small clearing with an old bus and a couple decks. Our children have grown up out here learning a deep respect for nature and the real (non digital) world. Now empty nesters, we live on site. Part of our retirement planning is to spend next several years developing the lower portion of the property (approx. 15 acres) into a campground and retreat for our guests, as well as our own family, friends, and grandchildren. The campground area (currently) consists of a handful of primitive campsites, and a group area. We are working steadily on improvements, including adding more sites, improving the roadways, and upgrading the common areas. In all we will likely have 12-15 total designated camping areas (including a group area or two, as well as a couple hike to secluded locations). There is also a lot of additional information listed on the individual campsite descriptions.

35mi from Government Camp · 1 site · RV · White Salmon, WA

Welcome to our new home! Kyle and I live in the main house on 5 sprawling acres of pasture and shady pines. The property is peaceful, the skies are full of stars, and wildlife visits often. Our little farm is also home to a small flock of sheep, 3 alpaca, a llama, and a gaggle of chickens. The RV pad pictured is currently rented. Available to rent is our primitive upper meadow to campers and vans. There are no hookups or toilet onsite so we require campers to have their own self enclosed bathroom. Campers are welcome to fill up water, charge devices or use WiFi by the house (there is limited to no cell service at our property). There is a county wide campfire ban through September at least which only allows for use of barbecues (no campfires even if enclosed in something like a solo stove). We’re a 15 minute drive from White Salmon up Snowden, about a mile away from hiking and biking trails (not on trail maps) and a 5 minute drive to an upper entrance to coyote wall hiking/biking trails. Make this your home base for an evening, weekend or longer for a night under the stars, or your biking, kite boarding, or other outdoor adventures! And, if you or your family is interested in meeting some of our farm animals I’d be happy to introduce you!

I had a very enjoyable stay. I loved watching the egrets fish in the nearby pond. The campsite felt private and was well-kept. The porta potty and trash bin was close by, and there was plenty of firewood. However, the nearby road is a bit loud, so expect to hear cars driving by throughout the night. Thanks, Tim!

Weekend Trip to Hoodland Basecamp at Scrumpy Farest

We tent camped on one of the RV sites (Potbelly 2) so we could drive up, and we had a fantastic time. Our 3-yr old twins LOVED getting to meet and feed the farm animals, and the people who live on site were very friendly and welcoming. The outdoor bathroom was the cleanest I’ve ever experienced and only a few minutes walk from our site. The showers were a nice feature as well!

We loved camping at Zen Acres. The grounds are incredibly well kept and their communication was top notch. Prior to arrival Mike sent updates about finding the campgrounds and they even offered firewood and ice delivery. Having one less thing to pack made a huge difference. Ill definitely be coming back! Thanks team for helping to make a great weekend trip!

This place is awesome. Great spot! Work in progress but they are actively focusing on it. It has a river and a pond, ideal for tiny humans and their caregivers to play in all day. Hosts were so amazing and attentive. My 5 year old was exhausted by the end of the day from catching frogs and fish and playing in the river. We stayed in a site next to the pond which had a picnic table and unlimited firewood all stacked and ready. We live in Tigard and on a Friday afternoon traveling on I5south we were able to get there in 40 minutes. Super nice to be able to grab last minute marshmallows a 5 minute drive away when his mom realized she forgot them.

We loved our trip to Mike’s land! We had a group of 8 year olds who were so happy playing in the creek and exploring the trails. The covered area and sink with hot/cold water was really nice for meal prep and cleanup.

Weekend Trip to Zen Acres

We just stayed here over the busy Labor Day weekend with our family of four & our dog, & we had a fantastic time. The site we were on was big (#3)— we easily fit our large tent with room to spare. Honestly, the space could have accommodated three or four more tents if needed. Even though there were other campers around, everything was well spaced out with trees offering a good amount of privacy. The layout of the campground is really well thought out. There’s a main road that makes it easy to get to other sites, the porta-potties, & the nearby creek — all of which were clean & easy to access. The vibe was great. There were campers of all ages & lots of friendly dogs. Despite the campground being busy for the weekend, it was surprisingly quiet at night & not rowdy at all during the day. We think the generous spacing between sites really helped keep things peaceful. Another big plus: you’re allowed to burn firewood in the designated fire pit at your site! Overall, this is a great spot with plenty of space & a laid-back atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks so much, Mike!!

Beautiful property with well thought out campsites. We stayed at #4 which was spacious and private. You could see the campers at the site next to us but didn't feel like we were right on top of them. Once we set up the tent it blocked the view and made the site feel very private. I'd highly recommend and would definitely come back.

Camping at zen acres was fantastic. Big private camp sites! We could not even see our neighbors. The space was flat and clean with a very high quality table. The canopy was breathtaking. A short walk to the beautiful creek. It was also safe and quiet. Some people have complained on here about the port-a- potty. I have to say it was clean, close by, had toilet paper and was just fine! I’m not sure Mike could do anything better. He responded quickly was friendly and helpful. I much preferred it to state parks or other profit focused sites and property. This was set up for family’s and puppies. Our golden doodle was in heaven and made a bed in the ferns. GREAT WEEKEND! thank you Mike.

This is my second time staying here and it is hands down the best campground I've been to. I've been camping for years and this place is top notch. It's hard to find a campground that is as private and spacious as this one, these days. There is access to a beautiful creek that you can explore for hours, and the detail put into the property really shows. Mike is an amazing, super genuine host and offers daily ice/firewood delivery even. Also - the porta potties are ACTUALLY CLEAN!! The entire property just feels clean, serene, and well taken care of. We will be back next year again! And the year after that!

One of my favorite Hipcamp sites, just a short drive from Portland. Mike stopped by to check in, which was friendly and appreciated, and another attendant also came by to make sure everything was going well. The camp had ample space with nice tree coverage that helped block the wind. The ground was super flat, making sleep comfortable, and I really liked the mulch material throughout. A creek was close by and pleasant to sit near, and a couple of owls were hooting during the day, which was really nice.
