Weve had a wonderful time in this campground. Warmer weather made it as we paddled and dip at the lake. Such peaceful view. Our site it closer to the vault toilets which is being maintained regularly. It gets smelly around 9pm until it gets cleaned again in the morning. Overall always clean! Drinking water faucet is also nearby. It was a fun camping. Wish quiet time is extended until 8am, people are very inconsiderate even in silence once 6am ticks they make all these noises banging car doors, talking, laughing, dogs barking etc. Rangers/Hosts were friendly and accommodating!

Great campground! Site 31 is huge, although there are only a few flat sites to pitch tents. Site 31 has access to the lake, wonderful views of Mt Hood, solid privacy, is close to a water station, and not far from the bathrooms. The camp hosts are also incredibly friendly and helpful. Plus cellular coverage is strong. I can't wait to return.

This is a hike in site that is at the end of a trail with a slight incline and it passes two other sites. You will have to walk all of your equipment to the site! The site itself is small and will fit a 4 person tent max, even then it is very close to the fire pit. It is also near the highway - you can hear the cars drive and people will also park there and walk down to the lake. Pros is that its secluded from other sites and a short walk down a hill to the lakeshore and the lake trail. Overall great location with a few quirks!

This was our second trip to this campground. Weve had an excellent time both times. The toilets being so clean is one highlight for us. Another is the condition of the lake - beautiful. The camp hosts are awesome too! Thanks for another great stay, Jim and Linda!

We stayed at Hoodview campground site 2 at Timothy Lake over the Memorial weekend. Our stay was excellent primarily due to the fact that PGE manages the campgrounds at Timothy Lake and PGE takes pride in how they manage their campgrounds. They hire the best people for campground hosts. PGE provides their hosts with the best equipment and supplies. The hosts do a stellar job and they should be commended. The fishing was great as we caught many fish. My biggest was 19 inches and my wife caught a 17 inch trout.

The camp grounds were immaculate. The hosts were very organized, knowledgeable and pleasant. They were constantly making the rounds and checking on things.

Great campground. Large sites, some with lake view. Note, no flush toilets, but restrooms are clean. We enjoyed the peace.
@ChrisL4253532 · Camped on Sep 4, 2024 at Campsite #36
Camp host were constantly cleaning bathrooms and campgrounds. Site 36 had plenty of parking for my truck and boat trailer. Close to the bathroom and just 30 ft tool the lake. Super fun camping experience.
@JeffreyTD081C5 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #39
The camp hosts were amazing! The grounds were immaculate, cleanest restrooms Ive ever seen. We booked online without actually seeing the spots and picked 40. It ended up being very small, and at that point all the good spots were taken. Spots 38,39, and 40 are too small and close together. The hosts were very accommodating.

The camp hosts this year were amazing. They were so friendly, accommodating, and really kept the entire campground clean. Bathrooms were always clean, and the minute someone checked out, they were there making sure the campsite was ready for the next group coming in. Campground is always amazing, especially those sites along the water.
@JerryL41052529 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #13

Lovely campsite, good for a large group and right on the lake. I would have given this campground a higher rating but my neighbors were up drunkenly talking extremely loudly until 7am. Really wish the camp host wouldve done something.
@MARYP8430707 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #4
Views were awesome and its nice theres a limit on when people can run their generators. The lake is so big it felt like we had it all to ourselves.
@EmilyC1289829 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #31
Campsite was clean and well maintained. Bathrooms were both clean and always stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Definitely would recommend this and will come again! Camp hosts were so helpful and friendly.

Quiet, tidy, beautiful. What else could you want?
@CarolineP8E4D8 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #18
You get a tiny view of the lake from site 18, but the trade-off is being a little removed from the noise and comings and goings of the direct-access, lakeside sites. The parking pad itself is not very long, however we managed to fit a truck with camper and one extra vehicle with no trouble. The camp hosts were always around and seemed attentive. I did not need to use the toilets, but they looked clean. I did end up leaving halfway through the 4 night stay because of wildfire smoke and let the camp hosts know so they could release the site to another camper. By the time I got home a refund for one night's stay was already processed. I didn't expect any refund, so that was nice. I also got to see the fire-fighting planes dipping the lake for water, which, although not the best, was sorta cool to witness.
@DustinM3616457 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #34
Awesome camp hosts! We stayed on the side with Jim and Lynn. There was a situation where some campers decided to despite the fire ban start a fire in the fire ring. Jim was quick to respond and acted in a professional matter to put out the fire and also educate the campers of the dangers. These two as a duo are the type of hosts every campground needs. I'll also note these two along with the other camp hosts did their best to keep bathrooms clean!

A+++++ campground. Timothy lake is great for paddle boarding and kayaks. Love this site especially--- It's large, and on the lake.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
