About
Pine Point Campground is situated on the southwest shore of Timothy Lake, a 1,400-acre reservoir created in 1956 for the Oak Grove Hydroelectric Project. Located at 3,400 feet elevation in the shadow of Mt. Hood, this campground offers 25 individual campsites plus two reservable group camping loops, each accommodating up to 36 people. The campground is nestled in mixed conifer forest with many sites providing views of the lake. Timothy Lake provides excellent opportunities for boating (10 mph speed limit), sailing, windsurfing, swimming, and fishing for kokanee salmon and various trout species. The campground features a large boat ramp and parking area on the lakeshore. The 12-mile Timothy Lake Trail loops around the lake with relatively level terrain suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, connecting to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. The historic Clackamas Lake Ranger Station, built in the early 1900s, is less than 3 miles away. Pine Point is operated by Portland General Electric in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and offers barrier-free campsites and restrooms. All sites are reservable through Recreation.gov. The campground is approximately 28 miles from the base of Mt. Hood and the historic Timberline Lodge.
