Mount Hood National Forest Sunstrip Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSE DUE TO FIRE DAMAGE

Right on the water, and hiking and beautiful greenery. My pup and I came up last June before the holiday rush. We had the best time I've ever had on a trip! The lovely couple that host were so great and attentive. Will be returning!!

Small campground in the trees. You can hear the river. Paths lead to a few small areas by the river.

Of all the campgrounds on the Clackamas River in this general area, Sunstrip is one of my least favorite because it is intentionally the most "primitive," which in this case means it has the most weeds and the grossest bathrooms. Perhaps this will help keep the crowds away? When we visited Sunstrip was about half full, so it's entirely possible that the primitive nature of Sunstrip does help keep away some of the visitors. And I do like the beautiful view of the river from many of the campsites.

In general though, if you're looking for a nicer spot on the Clackamas, try any of the other campgrounds nearby.

Well situated on the banks of the Clackamas River, many camp sites open right onto the shore. However, while the price is the same as at other Mt. Hood National Forest camp sites, the spots themselves do not have paved driveways and there is no flush toilets, unlike campgrounds like Lazy Bend nearby. Like Lazy bend, sites are not far from the road, so while you’re next to the river, you can still hear the highway. Okay if you need a place for a night or two but there are better options in the area.

Good, planning another trip here in August of this year. Stayed in site 6 a few years ago, sites 5 and 6 have an incline, but flat space for tents. Mostly, if not entirely shaded. Steep, short climb to river. Can access the river from other locations. Near restroom and good drinking water. Highway sounds are not too bad.

This is a good spot on a bluff where you can see the water. Seems that the trees across the water block the sun in the afternoon which makes it not so sunny.
