About
Trillium Lake Campground is the most popular campground in Mount Hood National Forest, located just 40 miles southeast of Portland near Government Camp at 3,600 feet elevation. The campground sits alongside 63-acre Trillium Lake and is nestled in a shady, mixed conifer forest that provides privacy between campsites while offering spectacular views of Mount Hood, Oregon's highest peak. The campground features dozens of single and double sites for tent and RV camping, with mostly paved parking surfaces and some gravel sites. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Some sites are available first-come, first-served, while others can be reserved in advance. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water from hand pumps are provided throughout the campground. Recreational opportunities abound on the 63-acre lake. Boating, swimming, and fishing are popular activities, with a small boat ramp within the campground and a larger ramp in the nearby day-use area. An accessible fishing pier allows anglers to cast for various trout species. The 2-mile Trillium Loop Trail circles the lake, with accessible portions perfect for all visitors. The campground also features an accessible amphitheater that hosts educational programs on summer weekends and can be reserved for small gatherings. Timberline Lodge, a National Historic Landmark, is located within 10 miles of the campground.
