About
Clear Lake Campground is located in a mixed conifer forest on the eastern shore of Clear Lake, a 560-acre reservoir in Mt. Hood National Forest. Situated at 3,600 feet elevation just north of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, the campground offers 28 sites in a shady setting with steady breezes that keep bugs at bay. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire ring with grill. The campground provides vault toilets and potable drinking water from a hand pump. Firewood is available for purchase from the camp host. There are no hookups, showers, or dump station facilities. Vehicles are limited to 32 feet maximum length. Boating is popular on the lake with a 10 mph speed limit, and the steady winds make it suitable for sailing. Swimming and fishing for various trout species are available. A hiking trail near the north end of the lake connects to the Pacific Crest Trail. Note that Clear Lake is a reservoir managed for agricultural irrigation, and water levels typically decrease beginning in early July.
Directions
From Sandy, travel east on Highway 26 for about 35 miles. Turn onto Forest Road 2630 and continue for 1 mile to the campground.
