On the Yocum Ridge Trail, at mile 4.8 (from Ramona Falls Trailhead) is a nice viewpoint. It's just before the first switchback (going left). There's a faint trail to the right. You get great views into the Sandy River canyon, of Mount Hood, and places to the South including East Zigzag Mountain. There's a small flat area to put a tent.  There is no drinking water. There are few people that go here.
