Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
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.

Awesome spot
Beautiful property, great camping sites, spotless bathrooms and showers. We pulled in about 8 pm, the host walked us to our site and pointed out the amenities, very appreciated since it was dark! The bus kitchen was the coolest!! Will be back when we can stay longer than one quick sleep and go!

Very cool place. Having clean and warm Showers and toilets was a nice perk. The community bus is a great idea and place to cook and prepare food. I want to come back during ski season

Beautiful campsite amongst the tree
We loved this campsite while traveling north! The location and drive was beautiful to drive through! The host gave us a tour of the location, showing the bus-kitchen, bathrooms, bunnies, fire pit, and a small playground! It was later in the season, so the host was very accommodating on camping wherever we wanted so we were comfortable. The first night we heard a Barred Owl, some deer, and lots of little leaves falling. It was beautiful and pleasantly dry. The host recommended Ramona falls (3.4 miles one way) which was amazing and exhausting, but totally worth the Mountain view, riverside hike, and beautiful forests the hike went through. My fiancé and I will definitely be back if we are nearby!

Magical Place!
Amazing campground with lots of privacy and a very cozy atmosphere. The showers were clean, nice and hot! The communal cooking and hang out area in an old transit bus was incredible. It was so nice to cook with some space and do dishes not in our camper van. Wish we could have spent a week in this magical place. Honestly was the best campgrounds we had been to and one of our top places we have visited, highly recommend. Ps. The spring water was so delicious!
