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. You choose an area, e.g. forest camp, or a meadow, to set up your tent, one tent included per booking (up to 2 people included in rate; extra people can be added upon arrival for $5/adult plus lodging tax). The farm is home to an organic garden, campfire circle, picnic area, a city bus converted into a campers' kitchen, outdoor seating area with BBQ, kids play structure and hiking trails. Interested in staying in one of 8 yurts, or rent the 2-bedroom original cabin? Please check out our Zigzag Mountain Farm website. A year-round creek flows through the property.

Great, friendly staff. Lots of spots, even some yurts. The kitchen is a tri-met bus. I just wish they allowed fire pits on spot. I do understand the fire hazard, but I would like a personal fire pit.

Quaint spot on a beautiful homestead! Loved the little river. Not super private but great place to make friends!

Excellent! Friendly and helpful staff, great facilities and dispersed camping was lovely! Communal campfire pit was great, nice to meet some fellow campers, and everyone we encountered was great, and great at sharing spaces. Camp kitchen bus was an awesome bonus!
