Mt. Hood National Forest
Overview
Frog Lake Campground is a beautiful and somewhat rustic campground on Frog Lake. It provides access to enjoyable outdoor activities, including fishing and leisurely canoeing on the calm, mountain lake.
Recreation
Frog Lake covers 10 acres and is open to fishing, swimming, canoeing and non-motorized boating. Anglers can expect a catch of rainbow trout. Picnicking is available at the campground's day use area, which provides access to the boat ramp. A hiking trail leads east, up Frog Lake Buttes, as does an unimproved forest road, which is open to mountain biking and high-clearance off-road vehicles. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail passes just north of the campground, off Forest Road 2610.
Facilities
The campground offers nearly three dozen single-family sites for tent and RV camping, though RVs over 22 feet are not recommended. Utility hookups are not available. Parking surfaces are gravel and dirt and may be irregular in shape. Each site is equipped with a table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided throughout the campground. Firewood is available for purchase from the campground host.
Natural Features
The campground is located between the highway and Frog Lake at an elevation of 3,800 feet, just past the town of Government Camp in Mt. Hood National Forest. The small campground is situated in a heavily forested area, where the sounds of frogs are heard at night.

Good availability, clean toilets
We stayed here as Trillium Lake was full. You can hear trucks from the highway and Frog Lake itself is rather unimpressive truthfully, but it was quiet and the vault/pit toilets were the cleanest I've ever used. The camp guests were quiet and respectful, which made it worth it. I'm not sure things would have been as quiet at Trillum. Plus, all the sites are pretty large (ours had two tables) which was great. I think it's a great option if you want proximity to some of the destinations in Mt. Hood without all the people. :)
Also, no service with T-Mobile and no campfires right now due to restrictions.
lots of frogs
campground was full but down the road a bit there are more dispersed sites, found one and had some nice solitude in the woods. the lake was shallow and warm and full of tadpoles and teeny tiny frogs. view of mt. hood at certain angles. all around pleasant.
Beautiful campground
The campground itself was very nice and clean. The camp hosts were very nice. There were a lot of flying insects. The lake is extremely muddy and full of tadpoles. The lake itself is very shallow. Overall great experience but bring your bug repellent.
