About this campground

Little Crater Lake Campground is one of the most scenic spots in Mt. Hood National Forest and a very comfortable place to camp. It 's not far from Little Crater Lake, a cold, crystal clear, spring-fed pond - which can be enjoyed by viewing, NOT by swimming, which is prohibited. Also nearby is Timothy Lake, where boaters, swimmers, and anglers enjoy recreating at The Cove Day Use Area, all in the shadows of stunning Mount Hood. Little Crater Lake, the small version of the famous lake to the south, is considered a geologic oddity. It is thought that the lake was created by artesian water forcing its way through the soft volcanic rock, creating a "blowhole." Excellent huckleberry picking in the vicinity. Campground is wheelchair accessible.
