I am 64 years old. I have been going to Gone Creek camp ground since I was eleven.
I go every August with my family that is now 80 strong. About 70 of us make it each year.
We now have reservations for 17 camp sites this August.
It has always been the families highlight of the year.
The camp hosts have always been kind and helpful to us. We always invite them to our Taco feed the last Friday night of the week. Our time there is 10 days. It is great!
Thank you
Hi, Im looking to reserve a campsite. Was wondering what sites are available for July 24-25, and August 22-23. Would love sites with water views.
Thank you

Hey Jennifer – We do not have anything to do with reservations. Visit Reserve America to check out reservation availability. There is almost zero chance you will find an open site that is also on the water at Timothy Lake this late into summer. You need to make lakeside reservations about 6 months before you want to go if you want any chance of camping on the water. This is a very popular campground. Best of luck!
Is there potable water available at the campground? Could I fill my holding tank on my RV?
Yes there is potable water at the campground. There is no “RV Fill Station” per say but there is a water spigot and you could probably pull up to it and fill your tank. Or if you have something like a 5 gallon canister you could fill that then pour it in your RV tank.
do you know if fires are allowed over the three day weekend coming up?
Not sure. You can call the Forest Service to find out. Let us know what they tell you: Mt. Hood National Forest Headquarters – M – F 7:30am – 4:30pm Closed 11:30 – 12:30 Telephone: (503) 668 1700
