Marmot House is a lush 13 acres of mostly old growth forest in the foothills of Mt. Hood, right on the Historic Oregon Trail. It is close to hiking, biking, and forested waterfalls a short drive away. We have beautiful short hikes on trails in our forest on the property. World class windsurfing 30 miles away in Hood River, as well as more amazing waterfall hikes in the Columbia River Gorge. The Sandy River recreation area is just up the road from us and we are 10 mins. from The Sandy Ridge Trail with its 17 miles of mountain bike trails. Each campsite is tucked in the woods and has access our communal fire pit at our gathering space. Our well water tastes amazing! The is not a developed campground, it is our home. We see ourselves as stewards of this hidden forest gem and welcome people to enjoy its beauty. We are avid campers and recently spend 9 months in our teardrop trailer off grid on public lands. Living here we are family of four plus one who all work from home, Arehn a spiritual life coach, who loves to cook, Jim a software engineer and disc golfer, sons Ian, software engineer and writer and Sam, Environmental Science major and elite level Ultimate frisbee player. Tom Brown III (T3), Nature Educator and professional Photographer, lives in a separate apartment on the property.

Crossroads

A wonderful place to camp! Campsites were spread out and lovingly sited in the woods. The old growth forest is a treasure and I'm thankful to the owners for both preserving it and sharing it with others. The hosts are welcoming and gracious and I found my fellow campers to be respectful. A great experience for my first time using Hipcamp and I would return!

Social Site

The host was extremely accommodating and kind the campsite was clean beautiful along with the property and trails fresh well water was amazing .you have to keep in mind this isn't a public campsite with cookie cutter sites and perfect paved roads leading to every site but everything is navigable and the amenities they do offer is all you need for a real camping experience I would definitely recommend for anyone just needing to stay over for a night in a van or rv to an extended camping trip . The one and only thing I would suggest is either some type of sign as my map took me about 20 yards passed the driveway.

Forest Haven

Very warm hosts and a nice place to stay! Communal campfire is great, a nice way to socialize with fellow travelers. Honeypot facility is well maintained and campsites have nice privacy.

Camping in old growth forest in thoughtfully prepared camping spots. Just enough amenities but still felt secluded.

Huckleberry cabin

the coolest cabin in the woods! Arehn was lovely, met me and gave me a tour when I arrived. Had a great sleep, loved waking up amongst the trees.
