~ Please note: August 23-25 is our Irish Music weekend. We allow jamming 24 hours a day and quiet hours won't be enforced. ~ 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.

It was a last-minute opportunity for a quick getaway when we stumbled upon ZigZag and we couldn't have expected better! The folks were friendly and if you want a little glamping facility while still providing your camp set up, this is a no-brainer. The property also had yurts and I look forward to trying those out in the future!

Loved it! It looks a wonderful place to stay for events - they were hosting a music festival a few days after my stay. They've got tons of cool places to hang out and little hikes nearby. I'd like to go and spend a few days sometime.

Wonderful camp with plenty of activities to entertain yourself. They have a 1 mile walk/hike around the property, a small playset for kids, corn hole was setup, and several sheltered tables and chairs for all to use. It reminded me of a mini scout camp with plenty of space for people to spread out.

Campsites were nice, but note that it is dispersed camping and you will have to haul your stuff in. There’s a small turn around that makes this easier and they have a small wagon you can use. The forest camp is closest to the turn around and outhouse, but people will be walking through your campsite. They are pretty well stocked for cooking. Lots of grilling accessories, 2 grills, propane campfire thing, gas stove, pans. Showers were hot and clean enough. Flushable toilets in the bathhouse and there’s a shower plus toilet room in the main office. Overall, we enjoyed and would come back again. Just wish quiet hours were more enforced. 2 different groups were loud on the nights we stayed.
