Camp Creek

This campground has a unique history. Ask the (current) host. She's happy to tell you what's she's found out. Since the site is nearly 100 years old, its off limits for large RVs. I, personal wouldn't bring in much larger then a long van, BUT, there are a few sites that will accommodate an 18ish foot trailer and its short tow vehicle (short bed truck or SUV. (LOTS of trees, narrow road.) I advise you to walk it first, if you question it in your head. Its not a huge camp) With that said, it has clean pit toilets and a shared pump spigot. Fire rings and tables in all sites. A tranquil Brooke runs through its left side (as you pull in) If youre an overnight and she can find room, you'll have a spot for the night. $25 @ the time of this review. Please note that I only explored the loop I was in.

Camp Creek, built in 1936, is one of the first CCC campgrounds in Oregon.  Although not preserved, you can still see and use some of the original stone fireplaces.  Our 25' Class C is  bit tight for some of the campsites, but over-all there are many fine creek-side sites.  We stop here a couple of times a year for an overnight rest, finding it more pleasant and quieter than some of the better known lakeside campgrounds nearby.   Be aware that this campgrounds charm lies in its age, so many of the sites are not particularly level.   

Still it is well kept and we will continue to go back.

Camped here for the second year in a row, and it did not disappoint. We got lucky with a nice spot on the creek this year, which I would recommend for the best experience. The sites are spacious and most are pretty private which is great. It is primitive, no showers and just one vault toilet. I will say that the site did have a fair amount of trash on it which was disappointing, but we cleaned it up before heading out. Remember to leave no trace!!

Beautiful forest, and the creek was also quite pretty and the sound was nice at night to cover up the car noise from the road. Spots are pretty close together, but there is more privacy than some campgrounds. Bathroom was gross but what do you expect.

It was raining when we were there so didn’t get to explore far. The campground is really beautiful. The creek when we went was raging pretty heavy. It was still nice to sleep next to though.

Easy to get to, lots of space, beautiful campsite, & creek. 10/10!

This is most beautiful place I camped this year. Enough privacy, serene, quiet... beautiful trails and creek. It is primitive campground, no restroom or showers, just one vault toilet and there is one water pump if you need to wash dishes. First week of June the weather was perfect.

I love camp creek I have stayed at multiple site and they are all fantastic. 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!

Camp Creek campground is a pretty sweet little spot not too far out of Mt. Hood/Government Camp. Spots are decent sized, including some doubles (to share with friends), and lots of trees and greenery between spots. The river-side spots are amazing, with several right on the water.

Several nice little hikes around the area, or just wander through the river down by the small bridge. We also saw several people fishing, though no actual fish. Just the right depth to splash around in and cool off. A few deeper holes (four feet?) that may require a life jacket for little ones just to be extra safe.

The only down side is the lack of facilities (ie, only pit toilets and no showers). This is pretty typical for forest campgrounds in the area, though this is also one of the nicer forest campgrounds we've come across. Price around $20-$22, depending on which sites you pick.

We had a nice spot right by the creek, it has nice trails. A great place to take your family or dogs.

This is my second trip to Camp Creek. This time we were able to book a spot next to the water. Probably the largest site I've ever camped on. Even though we maxed out with 6 people and 4 tents, you could easily fit another 5 tents on this site comfortably.

Love this campground because noise from other campers is reduced by the water, and sites are spaced out nicely to provide privacy.

The latest staff on site (as of June 2017) were subpar compared to my first visit, and created a somewhat frustrating checkin experience. However this site is awesome, so hoping staffing improves in the future.

This campground also hooks into the Still Creek Trail #780. Beautiful hiking!

Be sure to check out the Skyway Bar & Grill for some tasty BBQ on HWY 26 (west of the campground) and brews at Mt. Hood Brewing (east of the campground off HWY 26 in Goverment Camp).
