Fantastic campground! Very private sites and good lake access. Should have stayed longer.

The Yurt was a large space that a group of people could stay comfortably and enjoy an evening playing games or looking at the stars.

I will start by saying we have been going to Trillium Lake for over 20 years. The campground and lake are fabulous even though there are no hookups for my trailer. The paddleboarding and kayaking are phenomenal. It's sad it has gotten too crowded and the fishing is not like it used to be but we still had a wonderful week.Having said that I must report a very negative experience involving the main camp host in space #1. He came to our campsite and confronted us about some paper plates in our fire pit. I had put them there to act as firestarters on Monday of that week. On Thursday of that week a fire ban was put on the whole region. He asked me what I was going to do with the plates. I asked if I could just burn them and he said no and that I would have to get them out. I said OK and as he left he said if I violated the rules again I would be told to leave. I said "excuse me, I don't need to be threatened and that he should show some respect and manners. He said I was arguing with him and my wife and I both said we were not arguing. Five minutes after he left I cleaned the plates out. The next day he left a note on my truck that accused me of starting a fire the previous night which we did not do. His note was extremely rude and said we were to leave by noon. We immediately went to his space and he came out extremely angry and again accused us of having a fire. I said we never started a fire and he said I was lying. Then he proceeded to use extremely fowl language and started dropping F-bombs on us. He told us loudly in our face to Leave Now!! I told him I wouldn't and go ahead and call the police...I would love for them to come. We then sat down and discussed it and he finally believed us and said we could stay. We left two hours later. I didn't want to be there anymore. I am 79 years old and have been camping most of my life. I have NEVER been treated like that. This camp host has no business working with the public. He's a very angry rude person. Will never go

Trillium is great and super well managed and well maintained. My only complaint is how hard it is to get a site and then seeing how many people don't show up for their reservations.

Arrived at sunset on a Wednesday night in July. Easy to find our campsite. Park staff were present around supporting other campers. Bathrooms were easily accessible to our camp site, and clean (even had air fresher in there!) Trail around the lake was, as always, well maintained due to it's frequent use. Sunset from the lake's deck is always a must when I stop by Trillium. In years past I often avoid this campground due to it's busyness, but camping on a Wednesday (even in the summer months), the campground was unbelievably quiet and serene. Thank you to the Park Service Employees for making Trillium a magical place for all to enjoy.

So, the only issue I have with the Forest Service is that they provided me with inaccurate information, and their website doesnt offer sufficient details. A ranger informed me that we could purchase a Northwest day pass for concessionaire-run day-use areas. We did so in advance and arrived to discover that the purchase was useless according to the Alaska Recreational Management (ARM). Interestingly, the ARM website didnt mention this, but two car passes were increased in my reservation, meaning I didnt even need any extra pass and wasted money based on the Forest Services guidance.Its worth noting that many concession fan sites wont accept national agency passes like the All-American Pass, regardless of whether its for veterans, seniors, or disabled cardholders. This makes the pass program somewhat pointless since the Forest Service has privatized much of its operations. ARM runs a clean campgrounds and the staff were super friendly.

A popular but well run CG. You will definitely want to reserve your site well in advance especially if you plan on going during the weekend. Mt Hood is gorgeous!
@AutumnG2F43641 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #35
Beautiful place. Great campground.
@alexb6244786 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #15
Lovely campground that worked out so well for my first time in Mt Hood. Bathrooms were clean (pit toilets so bring hand sanitizer) and our site allowed for easy access to trail around the lake.
@MaksymVE908A78 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #14
Everything is good!
@DanS6740969 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #49
MICE!!! unbelievable amount of mice. Might as well have been in a sewer. As soon as the sun went down the mice went nuts. They were literally jumping at my legs and feet. We had to run into the tent and they were crawling all over it. We ended up leaving. We felt like we were being attacked.
@TERESAS8098881 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #27
The campsite, bathrooms, and the trail around the lake were clean of litter. We rented a kayak, which was marvelous!
@PatrickB523191 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #48A
Park was very clean and well managed. Pit toilets were also very well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful. Oh, and the lake is BEAUTIFUL
@JeremyM5241042 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #8
Beautiful LAKE beautiful people a tradition Ive taken a few years off come and perfect paddle boarding with the view you cannot beat! If only you could make it warmer the night I am there. I would sleep a little better, ha

Loved it! Great space. Great views. Clean campsite.
@ArmelleH9A0801 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #35
close to nature
@TraceyK8254102 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #40
Clean facilities, large camp sites, beautiful lake.
@JacquieP32926E · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #52
This is my 4th year in a row going in June. Weather was great and the camp host (woman) was wonderful. My only concern is the litter that accumulates near the day use areas. I hiked around the lake several times and am so disappointed in folks leaving behind so much trash - especially plastic bags and containers. Next time I come up I plan to bring grabbers with me and pick some up. I would have thought the people who charge money for day use permits would take the time to walk the paths and clean up the trash. I absolutely love this lake and camp ground. It has improved so much.
@JamesP3218459 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #44
Beautiful area, beautiful campground. Bathrooms leave something to be desired, compared to similar units in other State Parks. Fumes overpowering, really dark inside.
@BruceS5371230 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #51
I wasn't able to go because my motor home broke down. Not because the campground was good or bad
@NicoleW2749952 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025
What a deal! Space for so many people in a beautiful and well maintained yurt. At least one of the beds was memory foam. There were 2 full sized beds, 4 singles, and a futon. We felt so lucky to grab this spot that was probably released from someone who made reservations months ago. Room for improvement: 1. door on yurt did not secure normally, we learned afterwards to life the door up for it to secure. A sign would be nice. 2. Our fireplace did not work so we were a bit cold, reported the problem. Otherwise, lovely!

The site we stay was very spacious and well maintained. The bathrooms were small and not the cleanest, though, but it was no big deal for us. Other than that, it was an awesome stay. My family really enjoyed paddle boarding in the lake. The water was warm enough even in June and the lake was beautiful.
@DominickHAFB1C · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #34
A great campsite, enough parking for 4 ish cars. The site was really quiet despite being right next to other sites which was great. There was a lot of room at the site and the water and bathroom were not too far away either.
@JeronC5A74313A · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #46
Beautiful campground with wildflowers everywhere. Looks like the lake is a good place for fishing. Amenities are the typical pit toilets and water, not fully developed like some other camp sites.
@LenoreFD5B89B3 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #32
A quiet, forested campground (early June) with good site privacy and access to the pretty trail around the lake.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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!!!
