About
Triangle Lake Horse Camp is located on the south end of Triangle Lake in the scenic Olallie Lake area of Mount Hood National Forest. While the lake itself is not visible from most campsites, it's just a short walk or ride down the hill. The campground offers eight tranquil sites in a remote setting of lodgepole pines and mountain hemlocks at high elevation. Designed specifically for equestrians, each campsite includes 4-horse corrals, picnic tables, and fire rings. Long gravel parking pads accommodate both camp vehicles and horse trailers up to 30 feet. The campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the extensive trail system in the area, including direct access to the Pacific Crest Trail which runs past the camp. The Lodgepole Trail and various other equestrian trails wind through the area, offering riders views of multiple alpine lakes and mountain scenery. Due to its remote location and high elevation, the campground is closed seasonally during winter months. Snow is common in the area, and access roads require Sno-Park permits from November 1 through April 30. Weed-free certified hay is required per forest regulations. The campground has vault toilets but no potable water, so visitors must bring their own water supply.
