The Doss Farm Story It all started many years ago when Christie met a few beautiful wooly pigs on a trip to Hungary. She adored them at the time, but didn't give them much thought. Years later, living in Portland, Oregon and married to Engineer Josh Doss, the couple were urbanites enjoying their local food scene. They were inspired by the farm-to-table movement and wanted to be a part of it. They began searching for land and determined that the gorgeous wooly Hungarian Mangalitsa were what they wanted to raise. With their young family in tow, the Dosses discovered their own little slice of heaven in the Northern Willamette Valley, about an hour West of Portland, Oregon. It's on 22 acres in the foothills of the Coastal Range, high above the valley, that some of the world's tastiest pork is raised.

Mountain Top Paradise
We booked this campsite based on the enthusiastic reviews and the opportunity for a hot shower, as it was our last night of a 2-week road trip before flying home. We arrived 30 mins later than we'd predicted, and unfortunately neither Christie nor Josh were around. Luckily the farm manager showed us where we could camp and the views were certainly beautiful, and the dogs very friendly! Unfortunately, despite going to knock on the farmhouse door and trying to call multiple times that evening, we never saw our host and never got our much needed shower. It all felt a bit strange, and at odds with everyone else's reviews. With very aggressive anti-trespassing signs as we arrived and absent hosts, perhaps a welcome note - or indeed any acknowledgement of our staying there - would have been greatly appreciated. In summary, it was a pleasant place to camp, but not quite what we expected and no different to the dispersed camping we did other nights, which were free!

This place is absolutely beautiful. The views are amazing and Christie was always super quick with her responses. Bathroom and shower was a plus, and we were able to camp with a beautiful view of the hills. We can't wait to come back.

Christie and Josh were great hosts and their property is incredible. The views are amazing, our kids loved to visit the pics/chickens/turkeys/ducks, and their dogs Zelda and Link were extremely friendly and gentle. Access to hot showers and hookups for our airstream were an unexpected, but pleasant surprise. We'll be back the next time we're in the Portland area.

The title doesn’t like - truly a mountain top paradise! Christie and Josh have an amazing spot and it was so wonderful to be apart of it for the evening. Stellar views, access to bathroom/shower, super friendly kids. Josh kindly let me tag along for feeding of the pigs too! Would highly recommend if you want a different camping experience.
