About

Nottingham Campground is a hidden gem along Highway 35 in Mount Hood National Forest, where the East Fork Hood River runs directly alongside the campground. The sound of the river drowns out nearby highway traffic, creating a peaceful atmosphere among natural landscapes carved by the water. Most campsites offer direct river access, making this one of the most unique and enjoyable campgrounds in the area. Centrally located between Mount Hood and Hood River, the campground provides easy access to limitless recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, and fishing throughout the upper Hood River Valley. The Tamanawas Falls trailhead is located right next to the campground, offering an accessible hike suitable for all skill levels and ages. The campground accepts reservations through Recreation.gov, though some sites remain first-come, first-served. Facilities include vault toilets and trash receptacles throughout the campground, with a camp host available during peak season to assist visitors. No water, electricity, or sewer hookups are provided, and potable water is not available on-site. The campground is wheelchair accessible with a maximum vehicle length of 32 feet.
