About
Oak Fork Campground occupies a prime location on the southeastern shore of Timothy Lake, a 1,400-acre reservoir created in 1956 as part of the Oak Grove Hydroelectric Project. Situated at 3,400 feet in Mt. Hood National Forest, the campground offers 50 total sites: 36 standard single-family campsites suitable for tents or RVs, 6 rustic sleeping cabins, and 8 hike-to tent sites. Each standard site includes a picnic table and fire grill. Timothy Lake provides excellent recreation opportunities including fishing for kokanee salmon and various trout species, boating, sailing, swimming, and windsurfing. The 12-mile Timothy Lake Trail loops around the lake on relatively level terrain and is popular for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. It connects to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. The historic Clackamas Lake Ranger Station, built in the early 1900s, lies less than 2 miles away. The campground is approximately 27 miles from the base of Mt. Hood, Oregon's highest peak. Timberline Lodge in Government Camp offers scenic views of the snow-capped mountain.
