RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
From Government Camp, OR, take US Rt. 26 east 0.2 miles to
Timberline Lodge sign. Turn left at sign and go 4.3 miles to
campground on left.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 5,500 ft.
The campground is a single loop tucked into a curve on the road
to the historic and still very active Timberline Lodge. Although
some sites can accommodate small recreational vehicles, this
campground is better suited to tent and car campers. White pine
and hemlock provide ample shade but impede any spectacular views
of Mt Hood and Mt Jefferson.
Some day trips are: Government Camp for some local color, town's
museum or a cook's night out; and, historic Timberline Lodge offers
not only a cook's night out but Ranger-led presentations, some hiking,
up-close views of Mt Hood, and maybe some summer skiing. Having
binoculars and a camera are a must, especially for the Timberline visit.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
Elevation is 3,300 ft.
The campground has two unnamed loops beside Timothy Lake in
some woods of mixed conifers including White pine and Douglas fir.
The west loop (left side) is on a small peninsula so most of its
sites are along the lake's edge. The east loop (right side) has
only a few sites on the lake's edge. Small maples and
rhododendron abound and provide good privacy. Although busy on
weekends, during the week the campground has a quiet peaceful
atmosphere. An interpretive program is provided on weekends.
There are some nice views of Mt. Hood.
A possible day trip is a visit to the historic Clackamas Ranger
Station, established in 1906. During the 1930s, it served as a
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation 1,600 ft.
The campground, adjacent to the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness,
stretches along the Salmon River. There are no views of the
river from the campsites, but the campground is under a
delightful dense canopy of old Douglas and Silver firs, cedar,
alders and maple. This variety of trees suggest an attractive
display of fall colors late in the year. Ferns and other shrubs
provide fair to good privacy. This scenic campground has lots
of character and is a good base camp for exploring the
surrounding Wilderness. Firewood is available for a fee.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,300 ft.
The campground, above the Wild and Scenic Clackamas River, has
four loops (A, B, C & D) meandering through a stand of grand old
Douglas fir, hemlock, and cedars. Smaller conifers, such as White
pine and young hemlock, delicate maples, ferns, and Oregon ivy, fill
in the middlestory and understory providing fair privacy to most
campsites. Curbs along the roadway and parking aprons may be a
challenge for some RVs especially large travel trailers and motorhomes.
Loop D is a group area and not included in this survey. Loop A and
most of Loop B are closed due to concerns for camper safety from hazard
trees. Loop C is closest to the river, and although there is ample shade,
it has the sunniest sites.

are rudimentary and rustic at best and close to one another. However,
vegetation provides fair to good privacy between sites. Overall, the
campground has a semi-disperse campsite feel without having to travel

DIRECTIONS:

"Campgrounds/Trailheads" sign. Turn right at sign onto Forest
Rt. 825 and go 0.6 mile to another "Campgrounds/Trailheads" sign.
Turn right at sign and go 1.7 miles to a "Y" intersection and
campground sign. Bear right and go 0.2 mile to campground on
right.
Note: Last 1.5 miles are paved but single-lane with some turn-
outs.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Elevation is 2,400 ft.
The campground, with two loops (A and B) is best described as
green - green moss on the ground, green ferns and shrubs all
around and towering evergreen trees providing ample shade. It is
a semi-sub-tropical haven. Loop A can accommodate RV, car, and
tent campers. Loop B has only large spacious walk-in tent sites.
Loop B's sites are also more sunny and less secluded than those
in Loop A. The sound of Lost Creek can be heard throughout
campground. There are many plaques mounted on rocks and benches
around the campground to commemorate the efforts of the
campground's supporters through the years. The campground is a
good base camp for those wanting to explore Mt. Hood Wilderness.
Firewood is available for a fee.
A must-do while at the campground is the Nature Trail.
Apparently this area was covered in a "slow" moving mudflow from
Mt Hood's last eruption. The Nature Trail explains and
illustrates that event.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

DIRECTIONS:
In Parkdale, OR, at railroad tracks, take Baseline Dr west,
bearing right immediately after tracks, following the sign to
Dee, and go 5.3 miles to Dee/Lost Lake sign. Turn left at sign
and go 0.1 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear left onto Lost Lake
Road and go 13.4 miles to campground.
Note: Although entire route is paved, the last 6 miles are curvy
and hilly.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,200 ft.
The campground - also known as Lost Lake Resort and Campground -
has eight loops (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) along the east side of
Lost Lake in a dense stand of mixed conifers. Old growth cedars
and douglas fir provide shade for campers along with some Pacific
fir, Hemlocks, and other trees. A thick middle and understory
of various shrubs including massive rhododendron, huckleberry,
blackberry and thimbleberry bushes, delicate ferns and a variety of
wildflowers, provide good to outstanding privacy. Loops A, B, and C
are probably the most RV-friendly, furthest from the Lake, and have
the least middlestory. Loop D features some enormous pull-throughs
along the campground's main road and a few secluded walk-in tent
sites. These sites are closer to Lost Lake but have no view of the
water. Loop E consists of walk-in tent sites. Each site is amazingly
secluded and private, tucked into a stand of massive old growth Douglas
fir and Hemlocks. Huckleberry and rhododendron bushes provide
natural privacy screens. Loop F is also a tent only loop but,
except for a few, campsites include adjacent parking. Loop F has
the closest sites to Lost Lake and, like the rest of the campground,
many sites are terraced with two or three different levels. Loop H
is a small horse camp where each site has a corral. Although no
swimming beach is provided, Lost Lake could be considered one
of the best places in the area for canoeing and swimming, to say
nothing of its many super hiking trails and fabulous views of Mt. Hood.
The co-located Lost Lake Resort offers cabins, boat rentals,
limited groceries, fishing tackle and hot showers for a fee.
Possible day trips: taking a ride on the Mt. Hood Railroad and
joining the Forest Service on a guided tour of historic Cloud Cap
Inn (contact Hood River Ranger Station for more information).

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2000 ft.
This sunny campground is a single loop meandering through a stand
of Lodgepole pines and Douglas firs. Manzanita, Kinnickinnick
(bearberry), and moss grow among the many large rocks scattered
around campground. The campground is mostly sunny and with lots
of open space, making it different from others along Forest 1825,
but separation between sites provides good to fair privacy.
There are several hiking and fishing opportunities nearby but not

The campground stretches along East Fork of Hood River. While
there are lots of Lodgepole pine for shade, other conifers such
as Tamarack and Douglas fir provide character. Many of the sites
have a white-to-gray powdery surface. (Perhaps it is from an
ancient eruption of nearby Mt. Hood.) The upstream sites are the
longest in campground. Most sites do overlook the River.

This rustic campground, one of five in the Olallie Lake Scenic

Olallie Lake. A unique feature of the campground is the number
of yurts available for rent out of the Resort (not included in
this survey). The campground's 1930s origin can be seen in its
design and the small parking aprons. Western Larch (Tamarack)
provide only some shade and little privacy. Most sites are next
to the lake so mooring of boats at site is possible. Nearby

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 5,000 ft.
The campground is one of five in the Olallie Lake Scenic Area.
It reaches across a little peninsula on the natural Olallie Lake
and has two personalities. The area closest to the campground's
entrance appears to have been in a fire. Burnt trees, seen in
this area, offer little shade or shelter. Close to the
peninsula's tip, Lodgepole pine give way to cedar, hemlock, white
pine, and other conifers. At the very end are a group of walk-in
tent sites, each with a delightful view of the lake. While the
campground is considered most friendly for tent campers, pop-up
tent and slide campers will do well here. The area is well known
for its huckleberries and there are many waiting to be picked.
A long drive down a dusty road, this scenic, quiet, tranquil
campground is well worth it. The Nearby Olallie Lake Resort
offers boat rentals, firewood, limited groceries, and fishing
tackle.

DIRECTIONS:
From Hood River, OR, take State Rt 35 south 23.7 miles to

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,100 ft.
The campground stretches out between State Rt. 35 and East Fork
of Hood River in a dense stand of Douglas fir and Hemlock. The
sound of the river can be heard throughout the campground and
deadens the traffic noise. Sites are compact and close together
suggesting, along with an inoperative stone fountain, a Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) origin. Good overnight campground for
tenters and small RVs. A few campsites are accessed directly
from State Rt 35.
Possible day trips are: taking a ride on the Mt. Hood Railroad
and joining the Forest Service on a guided tour of historic Cloud
Cap Inn (contact Hood River Ranger Station for more information).

DIRECTIONS:
From Government Camp, OR, take US Rt. 26 east 0.5 miles to
campground sign. Turn right at sign and go 0.4 miles to
campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,900 ft.
The campground's one-mile loop winds through a dense stand of
mixed conifers including cedar, White pine, and Douglas fir. A
heavy vegetation from the ground up means excellent privacy. The
loop has a tear drop shape making a second pass difficult for
some without exiting campground and returning. Just beyond site
13, the road splits leading to Trillium Lake campground or
doubling back through the rest of the Still Creek campground to
US Rt. 26. Sites before this split are better suited to car and
tent campers while after the turn, the parking aprons'
orientation permits good RV access. Still Creek can be heard
throughout the campground and the sites along it are considered
premium.
Some day trips are: Government Camp for some local color, town's
museum or a cook's night out; and, historic Timberline Lodge offers
not only a cook's night out but Ranger-led presentations, some hiking,
up-close views of Mt Hood, and maybe some summer skiing. Having
binoculars and a camera are a must, especially for the Timberline visit.
Also available between Trillium Lake and Still Creek campgrounds are
the Pioneer Cemetery and Summit Meadow where immigrants rested
before the challenge of descending Laurel Hill.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 5,700 ft.
This walk-in tent only campground is located on Ghost Ridge next
to Mt Hood Wilderness in a dense stand of Engelmann spruce. This
is an old stand with many dead and down trees scattered around
the campground. The campground is co-located with the currently
closed Tilly Jane Guard Station and is well-located for exploring
the Mt Hood Wilderness, hiking Cooper Spur trail, and visiting
the Cloud Cap Inn. This "Inn" was built in 1889 and although not
open to the public, it is still in use by the Crag Rats, a search
and rescue group. There are great views of Mt Hood and its many
glaciers from Cloud Cap Inn.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

The campground stretches along the Zigzag River with some sites
overlooking the water. Its origin, built by the Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s, is illustrated by the
stonework fireplaces at some sites. Its age can be seen in the
many moss-covered rocks lining the walkways, parking aprons, and
interior road. The humid semi-sub-tropic environment has given
the campground ample ground cover and a dense stand of Douglas
fir and cedar trees. Traffic noise from US Rt. 26 can be
distracting. Firewood is available for a fee.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,600 ft.
The campground, located on the east shore of Trillium Lake, has
two sections. The larger section is more developed with four
overlapping loops, paved aprons, drinking water, boat ramp and
amphitheater. The second section was an overflow area and has
been slightly upgraded with a vault and is located across from a
dam on the lake's south shore. This section has no drinking
water or clearly defined parking aprons. A nice mixture of
conifers, including cedar, Douglas, and Silver fir, provide ample
shade and some privacy. The campground features spectacular
views of Mt Hood and lots of active families. A very popular
campground, reservations are suggested. Interpretive programs
are offered on weekends and firewood is available for a fee.
Some day trips are: Government Camp for some local color, town's
museum or a cook's night out; and, historic Timberline Lodge offers
