I recently had the pleasure of staying at Gone Creek Campground, and I couldn't be more impressed. The campground was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making for a comfortable experience. The peaceful atmosphere was perfect for relaxation, and the stunning views were a highlight of my visit. The hiking trails were well-kept and offered a fantastic way to explore the surrounding nature. If you're looking for a serene getaway in a beautiful setting, I highly recommend Gone Creek Campground!

Large and beautiful campsites, clean facilities, and friendly camp hosts who helped us when our car battery died. Hope to come back next summer!

Weather was great, campsite was clean, and the bathrooms were clean. Going again next year.

I got to say the lake is the best part and theres lot of walking to do the spots are good mind you it was my first time there but it the best one yet

@KerriC27393B24 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #5

Gorgeous campground. Vault toilets but very clean. Would 100% come back!

@StacyLCA6F38AA · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #11

Always beautiful and well maintained, unfortunately the camp host this year was very grumpy and difficult to deal with.

@DenisKFFAC228C · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #4

Washrooms were spotless and the camp host Harry was very helpful and very pleasant to be around. Camp ground was quiet, sites were big and private and the lake with Mt Hood in the backdrop is amazing.

@ValerieD280996 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #36

The team working at the camp did an amazing job. We mentioned a few times how nice the pit toilets were taken care of. Thank you!

@CherylH2942173 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #33

Great camphosts Vicki, Tim and Harry!

@GreggF3091489 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #20

Tireless hosts, spotless campsites, well maintained facilities - an amazing campground. Limiting boat ramp use to Gone Creek campers made everything better - less congestion, better access to play in the water.

Timothy lake is always great. This was our first time at gone creek. We were in site 09 with was not too far from the lake but it was on a hill sort of. Not steep, just unexpected. Camp hosts are very friendly and helpful.

@SaraW4120773 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #17

Favorite campground on mount hood.

@Robbertv88A5F1 · Camped on Jul 2, 2024 at Campsite #36

A favourite!

@ElizabethB5852 · Camped on Jul 2, 2024 at Campsite #46

This campsite was nice a private, probably one of the quietest campgrounds I have been to (even camping over the 4th of July). Quick access to the water. I would say this site is really probably better suited for people with trailer/campers. We had to put our tents up on the gravel parking strip (which was okay since we air mattresses) but there was really no ground area in the site to put up a tent with how they have the fire pit and table spaced.

I have been coming to Gone Creek for many years now, and this year was my best experience ever. The sites and facilities were so well maintained and the camp hosts were the best ever. I appreciate the hooks installed on the posts with the dog bags, which I also appreciate. This allowed me to tie up my dog while I used the restroom. I was somewhat concerned about the number of vacant sites. We booked 6 mos. in advance and had difficulty getting sites. It looked like some sites were no shows or just not booked. I admit I am still getting used to the new reservation policies. Thank you for a great experience. I'll be back!

@AnnaH8078719 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #27

Beautiful location! I have been to other Timothy Lake campgrounds before, but I think Gone Creek may be my favorite! Reception (Verizon) is very spotty and the campground can get a little noisy at times, but the camp host was friendly and helpful!

@DaynaL6F5DB541 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #31

Lovely campground. Attentive camp hosts. The cleanest pit toilets I've ever encountered. My only wish is that we were allowed to fill our fresh water tank in our camper.

@ThomasH6812009 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #10

Camp hosts are great.

@TarynMA88E8E25 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #9

Used to camp here as a kid and this was my first time taking my kiddos- we all had a blast! Beautiful park!

@angelam2585372 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #22

Excellent campground. Site 22 is a larger site but it is pretty uneven; however, there are two flat spots that will accommodate tents. Bathrooms were the cleanest anywhere I've ever been and the hosts were all great. Firewood on site.

@KallieK173F5BB · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #38

Amazing Camp hosts keep the place extremely clean! We really enjoyed our stay! We will most certainly be returning! Family of four and a dog and still plenty of space!

@TeresaT4A09C05 · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #44

Well maintained sites and outhouses. Beautiful location

@PatriciaH36547 · Camped on Sep 4, 2023 at Campsite #11

My time at Gone creek was great as usuall.

@MarkB1441206 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #36

Place is really good... a lot of shades

@PamelaJ7222035 · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #9

Wonderful experience with so much to do--kayaking, fishing, hiking, or just sitting at the campsite was amazing!

@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!!!
