Reservations are available at Pebble Ford, a small Forest Service campground off Forest Road 44 in Mt. Hood National Forest, open May through October. The campground has just three to four established sites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. A small creek runs between the sites, and a vault toilet sits across a footbridge. There is no running water on-site, so campers should plan to bring their own.
Sites here are notably spacious. A few downed trees sit near the sites, though reviewers note they don't block access. The main loop holds most of the sites, with one additional site near the creek accessed by a separate entrance. Views along the drive in include open sightlines toward the surrounding terrain, though the sites themselves sit under tree cover without long-range views. Several dispersed sites outside the main campground are also available at no cost, lacking the amenities but offering more solitude. Deer have been spotted walking through camp. Campers with dogs are welcome, and those traveling the broader region can find pet-friendly camping near Mt. Hood National Forest at other nearby sites as well.
RVs are limited to 16 feet, and the access road keeps larger rigs out. Nearby trails support both hiking and mountain biking, and Fivemile Butte Lookout sits less than a mile to the north for campers wanting a different setup. Eight Mile is another close alternative to the northeast.
Description
