ScoutDispersed Camping Near McNeil Campground
The actual campground is closed during the winter months, but the dispersed camping in this area is great. Plenty of space and nice flat areas with several established fire pits. Lots of wildlife in the area when I was there in December.
TravelerAt the foot of Mt Hood
Super close to all Mt Hood day trip activities. We took in a day on the stunning Trillium Lake. Visited during fire season so no campfires were allowed. No amenities, hookups or water for RVs but large sites can be found if you search a bit. Lots of large rocks and snags on the ground so keep an eye on young kids, and adults when dark. Beautiful and not very crowded, likely because of no water access.
LegendClose to PDX
This is a nice spot that is close to PDX if you're looking for a quick overnight to get out of the city. Close to Lolo Pass. Pretty basic sites with no water available. Pit toilets are available. Great view of Mt. Hood from the entrance of the campground and even better views from Lolo Pass.
