For the adults, Thunder Island Brewing is right there with delicious brews and sandwiches."
ScoutGreat spot on the lake with space for 2 smallish tents. Quiet, low mosquitos (early June) and a fire pit. What more could you ask for?
GuideAbsolutely loved the spot. There were about three sites. I believe from what I saw. I stayed at the first site when you first get there back there on the right hand side. It's a short hike down to the creek. It looks like there might be two walk-in campsites as well and I believe there might be one if you walk across the Creek. It's very close to trapper Creek trailhead and there is a vault toilet there. Minimal bugs didn't get any bug bites and it was in the '90s while I was there. Very little traffic. Not far from the highway just in case of emergencies. Absolutely no cell service. You must have a Northwest Forest pass or America the beautiful pass. Forest service does drive through there frequently to check
GuideAt the top of a mountain with gorgeous views of Mt. Hood and all the other mountains and valleys below.
ScoutLots of open camping spots that you can drive into without even leaving asphalt. Short distance from Timothy lake. There are established fire rings and some debris from other campers. We had no neighbors on a busy weekend in June though. Would recommend for any trying to camp next to their car without reservations.
ScoutSo I want to start out by saying this campground was not bad but I had the impression from the pictures I saw beforehand that the campsites were pretty well spaced out, not the case. At all. They are practically connected, only a few trees between each site. We don’t go camping to socialize, we go camping to get away from everyone and enjoy nature, that’s really hard to do when people are set up barely 30 feet from you. I want to hear birds and the trees and other nature sounds not other people’s conversations, music, cars etc. so having booked this site months in advance I was upset with the situation and lack of privacy we ended up leaving. We did go down the trail to the lower falls which were very beautiful and maybe this kind of campground with the sites all crammed together is other people’s idea of camping but not ours. I would like to add the campground host was very nice and also helpful.
TravelerAbsolutely amazing lake. Lots of hiking trails near by. Fishing and boating are a must if you can get out here. Beautiful place
GuideThis campground is right on the river which provides a peaceful and scenic atmosphere. There are showers with hot water and good pressure. Host was friendly. The major downfall was that our camp was infested with flies and earwigs which did not provide a good experience. Train does come by often but I knew that before. We stayed in the T loop in our truck camper, no hookups in this loop. But they have them in the A loop.
GuideWe ended up staying here overnight before we hiked the waterfall loop the next morning. No one said anything even though it’s for day use only. In total our camper was parked here for 15+ hrs. It’s noisy with the freeway and train close by.
TravelerSmall private park. Friendly staff. Food at the cafe was delicious!
