Oak Grove Fork Clackamas River

Amazing camping up and down forest rd 57. Close to lake Harriet and Timothy lake. Campgrounds sit right next to the clackamas river. You get to go to bed with the sound of moving water if that’s your cup of tea!

Great fishing lake! Fun Family Campground!

We spent a week having a blast camping here with our granddaughter. Only downside was water was way to cold to do any swimming or water play, which she wanted to do too! Great for fishing (she had a blast) having fun in our raft and exploring the area.

For Fishing and Family Trips

Lazy inner tubing, kayaks, canoes, that low-cost inflatable raft you impulsively picked up at Fred Meyer during the last camping sale... any of these can put in at Lake Harriet. It's a buoyed reservoir on the Clackamas.

What the place lacks up in campsite privacy, it makes up for in the abundance of trails that are a trot or short car ride away. Definitely a family campground with composting toilets and a water pump, so expect kiddies and pups to be darting around. The spots are adjacent to the gravel loop, not a lot of grass, very open. Very crowded when we were there but everyone was having a good time so the vibe was still pleasant. Gravel semi single lane road leads in so drive cautiously and don't be a jerk, also don't bother washing your car until after the trip.

We come here with fishing in mind, there are an abundance of shore opportunities on top of what you can access with a floater. Some feeder streams and side shoots offer hiding places for the fish during the heat of the day as well so everyone's got a chance to catch something. I would encourage this to be a "family camping in the big tent" or a fishing destination; not a place you go for quiet reflection and to savor your whiskey among nature.
