We purchased this slice of paradise in 2003 as a place to relax, recharge, and someday build our dream home. It started as nothing more than a gravel road leading to a small clearing with an old bus and a couple decks. Our children have grown up out here learning a deep respect for nature and the real (non digital) world. Now empty nesters, we live on site. Part of our retirement planning is to spend next several years developing the lower portion of the property (approx. 15 acres) into a campground and retreat for our guests, as well as our own family, friends, and grandchildren. The campground area (currently) consists of a handful of primitive campsites, and a group area. We are working steadily on improvements, including adding more sites, improving the roadways, and upgrading the common areas. In all we will likely have 12-15 total designated camping areas (including a group area or two, as well as a couple hike to secluded locations). For much more details regarding our philosophy, history, and future plans please visit our website at www.zen-acres.com. There is also a lot of additional information listed on the individual campsite descriptions.

Campsite #2 was one of the best campsites I’ve ever had. It actually had different “rooms.” A lot of improvements happening at this camp ground which is good to see. You can tell the host, Mike, loves the land and continually wants to make the place better. Was there 10 days and couldn’t have been happier.

Site 4 is a lovely, large, private along the creek. Though the creek is not accessible from the site, the sound of the water adds to the ambience. We would return to this spot!

This place was gorgeous, and so close to Portland. Mike was a great host, and very communicative. He checked in on us once we arrived, brought my purchased firewood to my campsite and even unloaded it. The creek/river is nearby. The porta-potty was, well, a porta-potty. Nothing you can do about that! I didn't have cell service and that was just perfect. Really peaceful and loved being able to hear the river from my sleeping bag. Will go again.

Love this place and can't wait to see them grow. The location is great and wonderful to enjoy the forest. Sit 5 was perfect to fit our Teardrop trailer. Really looking forward tot he new sites, looks like there will be one with a view of the waterfall.

Relaxing weekend getaway
Zen Acres is a great spot for camping. The site I stayed at was beautiful, clean, and felt very private. It's a perfect place for unwinding and enjoying the sounds of nature. :)

Group Site (New)
A group must!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this group site, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The site is beautifully maintained, with a spacious covered area that made our gatherings comfortable and enjoyable, regardless of the weather. The green space is extensive and lush, providing plenty of room for activities and relaxation. Mike was an excellent host and helped us with all our questions and even went of his way to help with a car situation. Very kind of him and we are so grateful for the positive energy he had. What really stood out to me was the serene atmosphere. The peacefulness of the surroundings made it the perfect getaway for our group, allowing us to unwind and connect with nature. Whether we were having a meal under the covered area or taking a leisurely stroll through the green space, the environment was simply perfect. I highly recommend this group site to anyone looking for a tranquil and well-equipped location for their next gathering. It truly exceeded all our expectations!
