About
Sunstrip Campground is a primitive, tent-only campground nestled in a wooded area of Mt. Hood National Forest along the Clackamas Wild and Scenic River, at approximately 1,000 feet elevation. The campground features eight nonelectric sites, with roughly half positioned directly on the riverfront. The surrounding forest is thick with moss and old-growth greenery typical of the Oregon Cascades. Fishing is extremely popular on the Clackamas River, with opportunities for winter steelhead, spring Chinook, and late summer Kokanee salmon. Whitewater rafting is another favorite activity, with 12.5 miles of Class III-IV rapids stretching from Indian Henry Campground to North Fork Reservoir. A hiking trail meanders along the riverbank north and south of the campground, and the West Cascades National Scenic Byway offers scenic driving nearby. The campground has been closed since the 2020 Riverside Fire caused extensive damage. The Forest Service is working with partners on recovery and redesign plans for Sunstrip and six other Upper Clackamas River campgrounds, but no reopening date has been announced.
Directions
From Estacada, travel east on Highway 224 for about 21 miles to the campground.
