Kevin's Mt Hood OG

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

An old, blockaded forest road off NF-2610 gives Kevin's Mt Hood OG its layout: a flat, open area roughly 100 meters from the main gravel road, with a mix of sun exposure and tree cover. It's free. Campers with vans, smaller RVs, or trailers tend to fit well here, though rigs over 25 feet may find parking tight. Those wanting more distance from passing vehicles can walk about three-quarters of a mile to the end of the old road for tent camping. Traffic is light, with reviewers reporting only a handful of cars over multiple days. Old logging trails extend from the area on foot. Free camping near Mt. Hood National Forest follows a similar pattern along this corridor, with additional dispersed spots between Frog Lake Campground and Barlow Creek Campground - Mount Hood National Forest for campers who find this site occupied.

Campers regularly cited the flat, spacious sites suitable for RVs and the remarkable quiet with minimal traffic. A few noted potential space constraints for larger rigs over 25ft.

Dispersed Camping near Mt. Hood

Quiet dispersed camping with a few options along NF-2610. Had 4 cars pass by camp in 3 days. Lots of old logging trails to explore on foot. A little buggy but more flies than ‘squitos. Did not need bug spray.

It's a nice place to camp. A small trailer or tent will do well here. Anything over 25ft might be a little cramped for parking

Dispersed Camping - Get away from it all

This is a dispersed camping spot in the Mt.Hood National Forest that is free --- from both campground payment and people. It's an old forest road off the main gravel road that has been blockaded and closed down, giving you a wide open area that gets sun, mixed with good tree coverage from the wind.

The spot is flat and great for an RV, van or trailer. It's just a 100 meters off the main gravel road where the old forest road is dug out/blockaded from cars getting through.

We parked and camped right there. Or, if you want even more solitude, park at the blockade and walk 3/4 of a mile to the end of the forest road strip for some tent camping. Not sure if that is needed as I think we only heard/saw a few car drive by the entire time (on a beautiful August weekend).

Love this place. Happy to share it with others. If you are looking for some dispersed camping in the summer that's not a far drive from Portland, this spot is for you. If it's full, there are a half dozen to a dozen other dispersed camping spots along this gravel road between Frog Lake Campground and Clear Creek Crossing Campground. Enjoy.
