"I have kind of a love/hate thing going on for Lost Lake Campgrounds.
Pros: It is beautiful. There's a reason it's one of Oregon's most photographed sites."
"Lost Lake Resort & Campground is somewhere we go at least once each summer. It has that nostalgic summer-camp vibe. A little more spendy than your typical Oregon campsite, but serene and private."
$26 - $100 / night

"Gorgeous view, great for swimming, paddle boarding, floating around the lake all day. Nice, shady campsites."
$20 - $30 / night

"Picture a hillside with a winding road surrounded by thick green trees. Ainsworth is that place. Absolutely gorgeous."

"Just 45 minutes outside of Portland, and near the town of Estacada, is Milo McIver State Park, which I consider to be a quintessential Oregon State Park: lots of huge evergreen trees, large campsites,"
"Estacada lake is within walking distance, and there is salmon fishing within driving distance inside of the park. There is also a "bat" barn that is close by."
"Not too far away from the main road, but far enough the only noise was the rushing river. Seriously, it was like living in the Calm app! The new camp host, Shawn, was amazing."
"fern covered canyon old growth perfect trail #742 near campground. Hike up to frustration falls. Use caution near falls. Lived my hood my whole life. Traveled entire US and South America Andes mts."

"The woods are so calm and for being so close to 26 you can't hear the cars at all. I loved the walking trails and even did an 8 mile hike to zigzag falls. I'm so excited to return in a few weeks!"
$35 - $55 / night
"Unfortunately my booking through the dyrt didn't notify the campground manager, but he set me up with a spot very quickly
PROS -great wifi connection -fun crowd to hang out with in the campsites -access to"
"Really great location right at the bottom part of Mt. Hood. There was a beautiful hike right behind the campground that takes you back into the woods and past a beautiful stream."
TravelerNice little area. Went out the day after memorial weekend. Hoping the holiday campers would be gone. This area was still pretty full with campers when I showed up. For the most part everyone around me kept the noise down. One of the cleaner dispersed sites I’ve seen out here. Would imagine this place stays busy during the summer months. Decent amount of van lifers when I visited. Stayed 2 nights.
ScoutElectrical has been good so far, but the water is dirty and filled with what appears to be iron. It has gone through my filter. So carry some portable water. Trees can fall. Sites are fairly level. Cabins have been boarded off. It's not fair from dispersed campsites. Water hookups are at odd angles inside water meter boxes, so hooking up can be challenging.
GuideBlm land next to the river only 5 spots all with tables and fire pits. Pit toilet across the way. Next to the road way so can be dusty and the trains are on the other side of the river. wildlife abundant and fishing Im told excellent.
ScoutFor 1 night, no hookups was $37. There are bathrooms, sink. They do have a dump station.
ScoutFor a free place to stay it sure beats a parking lot. Lots of trees, large spaces but lots of rain in May. But if coming thr again I would stay here. You can stay up to 14 days. In night two, I got a mouse. Ugh!
TravelerSo far I checked in just today so haven’t explored too much I will update when necessary.
TravelerWhat a find!!! We love it here. The campground is very well laid out and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails right from your campsite. The hosts are super friendly and helpful.
ScoutBarely got 1 bar of 4g at the welcome center. There's a guest wifi in the parking lot there too but it's 2 miles further to the camp ground and texts hardly go through. Would be great if there was better connectivity.
TravelerSuper easy and convenient spot to Camp. We visited in early May, and there were several places to park and camp in the large, open parking lot. The views of Mt Hood from this Sno Park are stunning! Accessible rest rooms as well.
