About

Camp Ten Campground is located on the shores of Olallie Lake in the Olallie Lake Scenic Area of Mount Hood National Forest, near the headwaters of the Salmon River and just north of Mount Jefferson. This remote, high-elevation campground offers a rustic camping experience surrounded by pristine wilderness. The area is known for its excellent non-motorized boating and fishing opportunities on the clear alpine lake, as well as numerous hiking and backpacking trails throughout the scenic area. The campground is accessed via a combination of paved and gravel Forest Service roads that are closed in winter due to heavy snow. Campers should be prepared for a remote experience, as no potable water is available on-site and visitors must bring their own supply. The area was affected by the Lionshead Fire, and visitors should remain cautious in burned areas, watching for hazards such as burned trees, eroded slopes, and missing trails. Camp Ten operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations, managed through Olallie Lake Resort under a special use permit with the Forest Service. The campground offers both standard and premium waterfront sites, with a maximum vehicle length restriction of 16 feet. Senior and Access pass holders receive a 50% discount on single-site camping fees.
