This is one of those super special, right on a lake, spectacular close-up views of Mt. Hood campsites. Totally worth it whether you're new to the area or have lived here a million years. If you get one of a handful of campsites right on Timothy Lake, then you, my friend, have struck camping gold. The kayaking we did on this lake was otherworldly - views of Hood, bears, accessible marshes and streams around the bend, all clean and super pristine. Swimming - same deal. You'll never forget it.
