Mt Hood Dispersed Outside of Quarry

Sitting just outside a now-closed quarry on Mt. Hood, this dispersed site requires 4WD for the short but rough access road, particularly when towing a trailer. Expect company: the area draws visitors who come to shoot, and spent bullet casings are common on the ground. Campers who don't mind that activity pattern and have a capable vehicle will find it a workable base for fishing, hiking, and biking in the places to camp near Government Camp area, with skiing accessible seasonally. RVs up to 30 feet are permitted.

Hidden away by quarry

The quarry is now closed to camping but this spot is right next to it. Very short but slightly rough road up - needed 4wd to get the trailer up here. Lots of bullet casings; you’ll definitely get a few visitors wanting to shoot.
