We loved the host and the campground. It's a beautiful place. Definitely visit the Government Camp Visitor center for all activities in the Mt Hood area. No phone signal.

Some sites are much bigger than others. Looks like the best site is 14 and most the ones along the River are a decent size. I think it was 19 that was pretty small and 15 is kinda small as well. Camp host was really nice, no lights in the bathroom so it is pretty dark in there even during the day. Overall really nice campground, great river area and nice setup!

Beautiful campground with an amazing proximity to the river! Our site had its own trail down to the river and we spent all day sunbathing river side! Very kid and dog friendly! Note that only one car is covered by your reservation fee- any extra cars are $13 extra. And make sure to bring cash- they don’t take any other form of payment and we ended up having to drive into town to get cash.

I only gave this campground 5 stars because my entire stay I picked up so much garbage from previous campers it was bad. The grounds are nice if trash wasn't left behind. Site 8 is not water front. You have to hike down to the water and climb over a fallen tree that was about chest height on me and I am 5'6. Site 8 is also enclosed with blackberries everywhere but they were tasty! The water was wonderful and not too cold. Slight noise from 224 but thankfully there isn't a lot of traffic at night. All in all we had fun and enjoyed our time there enough to look at coming back again in the future.

Great place to social distance! I can recommend sites 14 and 15 for having river access and being very large.

Very nice site, a little less private than I like but still very nice. Easy stroll to the river, very close to bathrooms. Neighboring campers have to walk by the site to reach the restrooms but its on a path so no problems there. You can see clearly into 20, but otherwise somewhat private. Camp hosts keep facilities clean.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
