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.

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!

Was a very beautiful property with a surprising amount if amenities that added to the camping experience instead of taking away from it. The bus-kitchen was amazing and there were unique options for camping spots

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!
