About
Frog Lake Campground is a scenic, somewhat rustic campground located on the north end of 10-acre Frog Lake in Mount Hood National Forest. Situated at 3,800 feet elevation in a heavily forested setting, campers often hear the chorus of frogs at night. The lake is open to fishing, swimming, canoeing, and non-motorized boating, with anglers targeting rainbow trout. The campground features approximately 33 sites suitable for tents and small RVs up to 22 feet. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water from a hand pump are provided. A day-use area with boat ramp access is available nearby. Recreational opportunities abound, with a hiking trail leading east to Frog Lake Buttes and an unimproved forest road open to mountain biking and high-clearance off-road vehicles. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail passes just north of the campground off Forest Road 2610.
Directions
From Government Camp, take US Highway 26 East for approximately 6.8 miles. The campground is located about 4.4 miles east of the Highway 26/35 junction. Access via Forest Road 2610.
