Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
First thing everyone should know is that we are under the landing approach to PDX. Some planes are quiet, and some are not. My wife, our farm pals, and I are used to it but, we want you to be aware. So, our property: coming in at roughly under 30 acres, Cold Springs Farm, established in 1885 and sits nestled in its own little valley. The farm's name is inspired by spring feeds a small pond at the Northeast Corner (near the Alder Site) that has crawdads, Mallards and Blue Heron. Of course, there are also curious Raccoons and Possums about. A canyon running the north of the property in known for its wildlife population including bear, deer and elk. Wherever you camp, you may hear someone moving through the forest at night. Although we are a short 30-minutes to Portland, our private farm is free from unwanted lights and traffic (save the intermittent air traffic), when the skies are clear, starwatchers who bring their telescopes have many vantage points from which they can indulge their hobby! Our wide-open field is great for kite flying, frisbee, doggie frolics, and it's also a great place to practice your drone piloting skills. Mid-July through early October you have access to pick as many blackberries as you want and they are delicious. Cold Springs Farm is also a sanctuary. Our current residents include our Kunekune Pigs: Chris P Bacon, Wilbur, Piggit, Hamish McBiscuit and Rowdy. The resident goats include Dolly, Freddy McNubbins, Princess Daisy, Mikey, Mildred, Marvin, Daphne, Booger, Cyra-Nose, and Delilah our big, gentle goat. Rounding out the bunch are our farm dogs, Oscar Braveheart, Hoppin' Howie and Lulu-bear our rescue Pyrenees and resident sweetheart. We look forward to welcoming to our Columbia River Gorge farm and introducing you to what our beautiful area has to offer. We are just minutes from many of the gorge waterfall hikes including the historic Multnomah falls and Vista House sitting on Crown Point. One of Oregon's favorite summer concert venues, McMenamins Edgefield, is a short 10 miles. And we have economy spots specifically for Mcmenamin Concert goers. Contact us for details. Concerts, wine tasting, and hiking within a short distance of the campsite, plus goat and pig cuddles (should you want them).Tent campers may prefer to pitch their tents in the boundary areas of the property, where the trees are, while camper van, car campers and RV folks may prefer to set up in the valley areas. To achieve a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape, our double plateau to the northeast offers some nice vistas to the north. We are located at the Western end of the Columbia River Gorge and the area can get windy at times. If kites are your thing, then you may just luck out and have a great day enjoying your hobby. Nearby you will find the exceptional beauty of the Columbia River Gorge, including the Overlook at Crown Point. World famous Multnomah Falls is a scant 14 miles to the east, and the Multnomah Falls Lodge serves some amazing Pacific Northwest Cuisine. Hiking, Biking, Birdwatching, Fishing, Amazing Geology...this area really does have it all. Plus we have goats, pigs, chickens, ducks and more!

Quiet place . Great place to spend the night as we have several times. Mikal and John are both excellent hosts and very respectful of our privacy when we are there. Very friendly when we talk with them. We stay at Alder site furthest away from the house because it’s very private.

This is a great spot! Great privacy and plenty of room. We camped here with a 26' travel trailer, it was a little tight and steep coming up the driveway, but once up there was plenty of room.

The site is very rustic in a large field. As advertised no hookups. The views, the privacy and the stars with no light pollution were amazing. It’s the 4th and we could even get a peekaboo view of fireworks without too harsh booms for our dogs. Would recommend and stay again,

The site was serene- a flower-filed field surrounded by forest and pastures. The pigs and goats were a wonderful welcome. The pdx air traffic was not so much. We otherwise loved our stay, but being in the flight path tainted the experience.

Very private and spacious camping spot. Great location . We camped with rv trailer, so the road to the camp site was a little rough ( but not too bad). I would definitely recommend this place! Thank you John and Mikal!

Cute, rustic parking spot
36 ft campervan · With pets ·
Open Field
Overall, lovely spot. The property is remote, and the parking spot is well away from the hosts’ living quarters so it felt quite private. There isn’t direct water connection but the hosts were generous enough to let us walk up to the house to fill buckets with a hose. The animals were a major hit, of course: they’re all adorable and friendly and we enjoyed feeding them snacks. The hosts are also very friendly. We enjoyed some conversations in the evenings together. A few challenges: don’t try to arrive after dark. There’s very little service up there and the main road is very steep, windy, and narrow. We missed our turn and couldn’t turn around because we were trapped between two blind curves. Thankfully, a neighbor let us use their driveway to 3-point turn. The driveway to the property is also quite steep and narrow and unpaved. If you have a rig with low clearance and/or RWD, this spot might be hard to access. We have a 36’ skoolie and it was quite an adventure getting to the parking spot. Also of note: while the trees block most of the city lights and the sky is nice and dark, it is right in the flight path to and from PDX, so it may not be as quiet as you would expect.

John and Mikal were super welcoming and the animals are a cherry on top. The camping spot for our tent was private with no gorge noise of highway or trains. We fell asleep to delightful crickets and frogs under a starry sky. Great basecamp to explore the area and will definitely stay again next time we're in the area!

Sweet owners. Private spot far from their home. Kind of hoping the animals would be on our spot the entire time but they are on opposite side. The owners did let us pet them all and feed them apples and we did have two pigs visiting by the van. We booked just to be with the animals and the owners were accommodating letting us meet the dogs and a sweet cat

John and Mikal are super nice folks, just getting started as Hipcamp hosts. The site is as described, wide open with lots of room, privacy and beautiful views with birdsong. We met some of their rescue animals- pigs, goats, dogs and cats. 😊 We had no trouble getting to the site, although some cars with low clearance may not want to attempt it. There is some shade at the site, and plenty of blackberries to forage when in season. Don’t forget to bring your camp potty, there isn’t one here! Very convenient to the Edgefield if you’re seeing a show. Would recommend!

Great location, Sweetest animals!

These two are lovely humans on a quiet little farm with lots of animals! BONUS -- the animals are so fun and you will likely find a dog OR A PIG at your campsite at some point. Located in a cute little town with a local watering hole with great pizza as well as a well-stocked market that has gas. GREAT proximity to the Columbia River Gorge and local hikes + all the waterfalls. You could easily camp here and use it as a base for all of your gorge activities. When you drive in you'll see a busy farm yard but you'll drive beyond the hill to a quiet, semi-private campsite. It's bare bones but you'll have a table and some make-shift chairs and a fire pit. There isn't much shade so hot days beware. We had a really lovely time and enjoyed catching up with our hosts over a beer and meeting all the animals. Enjoy!

Beautiful land and super hospitable hosts! John and Mikal’ went above and beyond to make sure we were all set with our site. The sounds of wildlife were a welcome change of pace from a long day on the road and we managed to parked my 2WD 22’ Sprinter down in the field next to a large Alder tree with no issue. Even had 3 bars of Verizon LTE service in the van! Great spot for folks in need of a quiet, private location for a few nights.
