Spring Drive RV Campground

5 ReviewsAdd Review

Spring Drive RV Campground operates seasonally from mid-April through early October in Mt. Hood National Forest, with full hookup sites accommodating RVs up to 50 feet. The Forest Service charges $46 per night, though America the Beautiful Pass holders pay roughly half that rate. Reservations through Recreation.gov are available for this drive-in campground.

The campground sits on forested terrain with tall conifers that provide natural site separation. B M. notes their site offered "total privacy" with "tall trees that sway in the wind." Sites feature varying topography, with some requiring uphill or downhill approaches. Water hookups are positioned at unusual angles within meter boxes, which can complicate RV connections. Several reviewers mention needing extended sewer hoses due to hookup placement.

Cell service remains virtually nonexistent throughout the campground, with occasional single bars in specific locations. Water quality varies, with some campers reporting iron content that clogs filters, while others find it "cold and crystal clear." The campground includes small hiking trails and sits near creek access where visitors fish and explore.

Campers exploring the region can access Timothy Lake, Trillium Lake, and Fish Lake for kayaking and fishing. For additional options, see campgrounds near Government Camp. Book early for summer weekends, as the full hookups and forest setting draw repeat visitors.

Many campers appreciated the large, private sites with full hookups at excellent value, especially with park passes. Some feedback indicated water quality concerns and leveling challenges, though the peaceful forest setting and proximity to Mount Hood attractions consistently impressed visitors.

Unexpected Gem

Just got home from 5 days in site 009. Our site was large and pretty level. Campground was once a single/double-wide trailer park for govt employees so the hook-ups are located in odd spots for RV. We used 20 ft. Of septic drain hoses. Water was cold and crystal clear. Virtually no cell service (one bar if you stood in just the right spot). Dog friendly. A couple of small hiking trails. Picnic table and grated firepit on site. Some of the sites had uphill or downhill entries. The tussok caterpillars were a huge nuisance, but we weren't bothered by a huge number of other bugs.

Electrical power, dirty water supply.

Electrical has been good so far, but the water is dirty and filled with what appears to be iron. It has gone through my filter. So carry some portable water. Trees can fall. Sites are fairly level. Cabins have been boarded off. It's not fair from dispersed campsites. Water hookups are at odd angles inside water meter boxes, so hooking up can be challenging.

Great place to get away from it all

Upside: I loved this place! It was beautiful and peaceful. If you want to get away, this is the place. It's got full hook-ups, although there was a boil your drinking water notice on each campsite when I visited. The sites are rustic but look like they are well cared for.

Downside: No cell service at all. Also could not get Starlink to work due to the very tall pines. 

I will be back when I don't have to work all week!

Full hookups, quiet and great place to chill!

Quiet, nicely spaced between campsites. And full hookups! Whaaaaat? Little to no bugs in mid July. Sites aren't very level but for the price ($28 with America the Beautiful Pass) you can't beat it.

Small quiet Campground near Mt. Hood

We stayed for 7 nights in site # 6. It's a Recreation. gov site so with our National Park Pass we paid $114 and had full hook up. We had total privacy our site was big with tall trees that sway in the wind. It had a nice area you walked up a few steps to the picnic table & fire ring. We couldn't see any of our neighbors it was so quiet. There is NO cell service which is common when your out in the wilderness. At the end of the road driving out you can pick up service. 

The water was broken a pipe broke up the mountain somewhere so when we arrived we didn't have water, but due to the emergency they came & filled our camper with water with the truck they fill camp hosts water with when they are camping in dry campsites.  They built a little tower that held big containers of water for anyone else coming in. 

This area was nice we were close to Mt. Hood, Mt. Hood Winery & other Wineries, Frog lake, Timothy Lake, Trillum lake, and more. Great Taco shop next to the Visitor center in Government camp. You can also go past Mt. Hood to the Columbia river Gorge, the Cascade Locks bridge of the Gods  & the Bonneville Dam, big trout farm and Multnomah Falls. Close to the campground we explored down a road it was a creek. No one back there we stopped & my husband fished I relaxed. 

We kayaked Fish Lake & Timothy lake Eagles at both lakes.
