Gone Creek Campground (Timothy Lake, OR)
Hosted by USDA Forest Service
New listing
Gone Creek Campground sits on the edge of the beautiful Timothy Lake, in the shadows of Mt. Hood, Oregon's highest peak. The lush, green forest surrounding the campground provides campers with ample recreational opportunities. Proximity to Timothy Lake allows campers to enjoy boating and sailing, as well as swimming, windsurfing and fishing; anglers can expect a catch of kokanee salmon and a variety of trout. The Timothy Lake Trail is popular for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, its 12 miles of relatively level terrain looping trekkers around the lake and providing scenic views of the area. It connects to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, and portions of that trail also lead southwest to Clackamas Lake Campground. The Clackamas Lake Ranger Station Historic District is less than 2 miles from the campground; built to house forest service workers in the early 1900s, the rustic architecture and historic nature of the buildings draws thousands of tourists each year. The campground offers dozens of single-family campsites for tent and RV camping. Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided, and a campground host is available on-site to answer questions. The nearest gas station and convenience store is about 18 miles away, west on Hwy. 26, and the nearest grocery store is in Government Camp, about 23 miles away. The campground is situated on the south shore of the roughly 1,400-acre lake, at an elevation of 3,400 feet, nestled in a mixed conifer forest with many sites with views of the water's edge. Timothy Lake was created in 1956 as a storage reservoir for the Oak Grove Hydroelectric Project and is one of the larger lakes in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Gone Creek is about 28 miles from the base of majestic Mt. Hood, where the historic Timberline Lodge in Government Camp offers scenic views of the snow-capped mountain.
