White River West Sno-Park

The forest roads were closed so we camped here for a night. Surprisingly quiet.

This snow park allows overnight camping in the summer months. You've got a mostly level site with good cell signal and a great view of Mt. Hood. There's even pit toilets.

The night I was there, someone parked inappropriately close to me--there is so much space! I moved further down the lot. 

A great night sleep.

Large Gravel area. We’re here in mid October at 4:30 pm and no one else is here. Great views! Glad we came.

Not gonna lie, I had little expectations of our first Sno park. I was blown away by the view. Several other overnights have arrived.

This is an easy camping spot. A huge parking lot where everybody is respectful of each other space. It wasn’t too crowded when we went maybe about six other campers. There is a beautiful river that you can hike to and around and a few other trails here and there. The restrooms were Fairly clean. I would definitely come and stay here again.

This is a Hugh parking lot that you may need to level out in unless you get the furthest upper right corner that is pretty level. Keep in mind that there will be more foot traffic in this corner due to the trail. The lower left side gets road traffic stopping to take photos of the stunning views. It has two pit toilets and a garbage can. It’s really quiet at night. We really liked it here as an alternative to camps.

Super easy and convenient spot to Camp. We visited in early May, and there were several places to park and camp in the large, open parking lot. The views of Mt Hood from this Sno Park are stunning! Accessible rest rooms as well.

This is a large, paved parking lot with a stream nearby.  Has a good view of Mt. Hood and vault toilets, so that's a positive.  The downside is that it's not level.  Trailers shouldn't have a problem, but even with several blocks under our tires, our 39ft Class A was still  un-level.

Big paved lot with really well managed pit toilets. Short walk takes you to the White River, which was more of a creek when we were there, and a breathtaking view of Mt. Hood.

We did not know what to expect when we reached this site. It is just a large parking area, we found a pretty level place for our travel trailer. Only 2 other trailers and 1 tent camper during the day. A lot of van and car campers the latter the day got. Good spot to stay when checking out the area. The view out our door was amazing, when the sun was out. We stayed 5 nights, had all types of weather on our stay, from lots of rain to sun and also snow. Would stay here again if in the area. Free to stay from May 1 to October 31.

We thought we'd try this out with some friends.  Tucked our trailers up in the far corner with a commanding view of Mt. Hood!  Well, not much view the first smokey day, but it cleared up nicely after a wind shift the following day.  So much room it never felt crowded with other folks coming and going.

Paved, Pit toilets, garbage can.

Walking and hiking from here.  Road noice not bad!  We actually spent 3 nights and explored the area around Mt. Hood.  

Just a couple hours from home, an easy get away.

Summertime best spot with beautiful view of MT Hood. Bathroom were spotless. Lot is big and spacious. Respectful campers:)

Huge parking lot w/ two bathrooms. Less than 10 vans when I showed up on a Friday night. Stream nearby but very muddy. T-mobile ok - About 2-3 5G bars.

The snow park itself is a somewhat steep lot, but still very useable with a few blocks. However, just west of it on highway 35 there is a smaller “alcove” that is much more level and secluded. Most people who visit this location never notice this separate, paved spot.

One of our favorite free spots ever!! Incredible access to back country hiking at Mt. Hood! Know before you go: this is not a camp site - in the summer, parking lots near mount hood are free for car camping (in the winter they’re full with people driving in for skiing). This is a huge parking lot with 2 vault toilets. Anyone can park overnight for free (summer only). There were just a few other cars there. At night we had a great view of the Perseid Meteor Shower 💫 Highly recommend if you’re going on a trip where you just want to spend all day hiking and have a convenient spot to sleep.
