Beautiful Spot NF 4630 by the River

River enthusiasts can access the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River directly from this dispersed camping spot along Forest Road 4630. The site provides easy drive-in access and allows campfires, with the sound of flowing water audible from camp. Dense tree canopy blocks most cell service and satellite internet connections.

Campers find a large, private area suitable for those who prefer rustic conditions without developed amenities. The location serves as a free National Forest camping option near Lake Harriet, with several other dispersed sites available along the same forest road for groups seeking multiple spots.

Tucked between the road and the river

A nice spot right on the Oak Fork of the Clackamas River close to Lake Harriet. Free National Forest spot. Rustic and beautiful. Absolutely no cell signal.

Gorgeous! Can’t ask for more…

This spot is large, private and is easy to get to, you’re right on the creek and you can hear the it perfectly! The creek is actually the Oak Grove Fork of the Calakamas River. There’s actually a bunch of shots of this road to chose but this one was perfect for us. Minimal cell and Star Link due to being under a canopy of trees.
