About
Still Creek Campground lies in the shadows of majestic Mt. Hood in Oregon's Mt. Hood National Forest, making it one of the closest campgrounds to the mountain. Situated at approximately 3,700 feet elevation on the banks of Still Creek, the campground is surrounded by a lush forest of mixed conifers including cedar, pine and fir trees, with a dense understory of shrubs providing privacy between sites. The sound of the creek can be heard throughout the campground. The campground offers more than two dozen single-family sites for tent and RV camping without utility hookups. Sites are equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water via hand pump are provided. Parking surfaces are a mix of dirt, gravel and paved, with a maximum vehicle length of 16 feet. Water disposal sites are scattered throughout the campground. Recreational opportunities abound in the surrounding area. A variety of hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails can be accessed from the campground, including the historic Barlow Trail, a somewhat primitive 1-mile trail connecting the campground with the town of Government Camp. Fly-fishing is popular on Still Creek, with anglers finding trout, occasional whitefish and salmon. A fork on Forest Road 1825 leads to the trailhead for spectacular Ramona Falls on the Sandy River, a 7.1-mile moderately difficult trail that is one of the most popular hikes in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Timberline Lodge, a National Historic Landmark, is located within seven miles and offers sightseeing and year-round snow sports.
