Hoover Group Site is a 70-person group campsite in the Detroit Ranger District of the Willamette National Forest in Oregon, managed by a concessionaire and located adjacent to Hoover Campground. It is a simple site with vault toilets, and a fee is charged for use. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Detroit Dam weather station show July and August highs around 80°F with only four or five wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the low 40s and rain on most days. Hoover Campground sits just 0.1 mile away, and Santiam Flats Campground is about 0.4 mile off. For hiking, Piety and Stahlman Point are both about 1.9 miles away.
