*** 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?

Magical, cozy, wild, and grounding

Quidditch Meadow Group Site

Scrumpy Forest Farm is straight-up magical. Paula is a generous and kind host who made us feel right at home. She welcomed us to her beautiful land, helped us settle in, and shared the farm’s magic. The Quidditch field was perfect for our group campout: open enough to stargaze, yet surrounded by trees that made the space feel wild, safe, and tucked away from the world. The cozy kitchen had everything we needed—and honestly, I caught myself wishing it was my everyday kitchen. We even got to build chickadee birdhouses as a little nature craft project, which was such a fun bonus. And Etta the dog was adorable. Scrumpy Forest is one of those rare places that feels grounded and enchanting at the same time. Whether you’re visiting for a campout, a project, or one of their community events, I’d 100% recommend it.

Peaceful site - very secluded and nice bathroom facilities. Accurately described by the host. Well located. We had a light set up so so problem to port our kit in.

We had a great stay at Paula's Scrumpy Farest :) Her communication was clear, the bathroom was clean, and the site felt private even though there were other campers nearby. We also really enjoyed getting to talk with Allison, who helps Paula run the operation! If we are ever back in the area, we would love to camp here again!

Quidditch Meadow Group Site

Our church group stay here for 3 days and we all had a great time! The host was there to greet us at arrival and direct us to our campsite. During our stay Paula invited our group to a sheep milking and that was a lot of fun, especially for the kids! We also got to pet the sheep and hold/pet a chicken. There is a lot of room for larger groups to spread out. We had about 25 in our group and had all the room we wanted for games and the kids to run around. The toilet is a composting toilet, but it's the next best thing to a flushing toilet. Many in our group took showers and had no complaints. We had a few complaints about the parking situation (2 cars allowed at the campsite, 3 at the entrance to the farm), but we are from the suburbs with allergies to hiking/walking long distances, even on nice days. 😀 Overall, we had a great time! Thanks Paula!
