Paul Dennis (olallie) is a Forest Service campground in Oregon's Mt. Hood National Forest, within the Clackamas River Ranger District. It sits among a cluster of campgrounds and trails, with Olallie Lake and the Olallie Lake Guard Station Cabin both within a third of a mile. Vault toilets are the only amenity listed at the site, and a fee is charged for access. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Santiam Junction show July and August highs around 76°F with lows near 42°F. That station sits about 1,200 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Nearby options include the Olallie Lake hike, the Red Lake hike and the Camp Ten (olallie) campground. Paddlers can reach the South Fork North Fork Breitenbush River about 4 miles away.
