Natural Features
The campground sits on the banks of Still Creek just south Mt. Hood at an elevation of about 3,700 feet. It is surrounded by a lush forest of mixed conifers, including cedar, pine and fir trees. A dense understory of shrubs makes for ample privacy between sites. The creek can be heard throughout the campground.

Ok camp at perfect location
We were lucky and found a spot on Saturday, it's an okay camp, without anything special. Sites are spacious and neighbors are in a nice distance so you get a remote feeling, still we were missing normal toilets and showers.
Location is superb, close to a lot of hike trails/lakes/city probably the best in the area
Escaping the crowd
Was originally going to camp at trillium but it was packed, so happy we ended up finding this Perfect little campground to escape the trillium crowds. There’s a nice creek that runs down one side of the campground. Sites are spacious and semi private I’d recommend sites 15-23 as they are right on the creek and a little less out in the open compared to other sites. Each site has a fire pit and a table. The bathrooms are vault toilets but kept clean. Would definitely recommend!

If you're looking for magnificent views of Mount Hood reflecting off of Trillium Lake, this is your spot!
We started off a little late and Trillium Lake Campground was full. Not a mile away sits Still Creek Campground. In fact, it connects to Trillium Lake Campground by back country roads. Be warned…massive pot holes!!
I was surprised that the campground had many spots open in the late afternoon and wonder if this is another one of Oregons best kept secrets!
The campsites are situated near each other, but with all the trees, makes it feel secluded. Each site has a picnic table and large fire ring and there are toilets available.
Easy spot for a quick overnight
Spent one day as a quick overnight waiting out weather on Mt. Hood. Small campground with basic amenities. Sites are nicely spaced out and with all the trees you will have privacy no matter what site you choose. We didn't have a reservation and found a spot easily on the weekend in May. Be sure to check in with the camp host and pay the camping fee.
