Ive come up before and its been great. The folks there came and yelled at us about the fire being too big in front of our small children. We were there after the burn ban had been lifted. We never left the fire. We had tools and water. We were working to get a good coal bed before the very heavy rain came a few hours later. We removed the larger wood that was not yet on fire and doused it with gallons and gallons of water. They may have wanted us to douse the whole thing. Honestly Im not really sure. It was a good point that it was partially outside the small rusted out ring sitting atop the ground. We stopped adding to it and re-centered it inside the ring. I think it could have been handled much better especially in front of the children. It was very disappointing. I am and always have been a steward of the wilderness. Have a nice day.

Pleasant experience. Helpful, friendly hosts. Nice, clean campground with views to die for of the mountain just a few steps away from the sites.

Camp site was ready and clean when we arrived. Beautiful setting. Hiking trails close by. Check in was out on the road. Camp hosts were not friendly or accommadating. Never saw them out in the camp the whole time we were there.

Beautiful campground and lake. Sites are private and well spaced. Trails were nice and in good shape. View of Mt Hood and reflections in the lake were spectacular.

Great time. Lake is gorgeous. Bring something to get in the water. Spot was good and with two parking areas. Lots of trees and right next to the water. The spot is in a culdesac like area of the campground with only 2 other spots. Bathrooms and water are close by. We had 3 tents and a van and ended up putting one of the tents on the end of one of the parking spots because we thought this was a better option then unlevel ground. Nice fire pit and double barbecue pit with a flat cast iron top that we grilled on multiple times. Definitely would go back.

Large gorgeous site with fabulous views. Quiet. Nice trails.

We stayed in campsite 15 and its extremely spacious. Not sure if you are allowed to, but you could easily space out 4 tents at this sight and theres enough parking space for multiple cars to park at the site as well. Theres also two picnic tables, I assume because one of them is rotting a bit. Cell service was good. Very close to the lake and trail around the lake. You get a nice little view of mt hood from this site too! Bathroom and dumpsters are very close but is obscured by the trees around you as well as your neighbors. Beautiful spot. Will definitely be back.

The campsites are very large and fairly private, so long as you choose one right off the hiking trail. It is a HEAVILY used day use lake, but still a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The toilets are clean for what they are, but I recommend carrying no your lantern with you even during the day as they can be pretty dark.

We reserved two campsites for a weekend in September for our grown kids, myself and my husband. The campground is organized and clean. The weekend we were there was pretty quiet and great weather. This is the second time we've been to Trillium and we will definitely be back. It's a lovely place. Canoeing on the lake was a highlight.
@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #43
Trillium campground was just as expected. Kayaking and swimming in the lake was great. Facilities were well kept.
@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Aug 27, 2025 at Campsite #4
Outstanding campground! Loved the proximity to the lake, and the walking trails. Terrific views, and very nice campsite. Would definitely recommend this.
@PamelaW8258300 · Camped on Aug 25, 2025 at Campsite #41
Beautiful area. It was peaceful & relaxing. No showers or flush toilets.
@VictoriaW12824 · Camped on Aug 23, 2025
Beautiful park with easy lake access. Nice walking paths and excellent view of the mountain. I really do enjoy this park. Parking can be very challenging in the summer, so good to keep that in mind if going on a busy day.Bathrooms are stinky and gross, which is really the only negative aspect of this park.
@JyotiA6EEC20FD · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #16
Beautiful lake n roomy campgrounds. Had a great time swimming/kayaking and walking the loop trail. Clean toilets/carry extra toilet paper.
@JenniferC92685 · Camped on Aug 12, 2025 at Campsite #14
Had a lovely time as usual, swimming in the lake, and camping in the clean and private campsites. The only thing that I wish was different is better signage that the loop trail was closed at a section for maintenance. I made the mistake of thinking that the blue arrow trail near the closed section was an alternate trail to the loop. After 10 or 15 minutes I realized I needed to turn around and go back the way I came. It was getting dark and I had to get back to the loop trail, and go all the way back to camp the way I came. A small note that said, 'please turn around and go back the way you came', would have been more clear. I was not the only person who took the other trail thinking it would get us back to camp, so it was stressful. I have a bad back and the extra long walk exhausted me. Im glad I brought water! Thanks for an otherwise great weekend.Jennifer Collins

This campground is amazing! I was very happy with my spot and the time on the lake was breathtaking! My spot was a couple deep away from the lake and I think that worked out perfectly. There is a trail that goes around the lake and if you get a spot that is as close to the lake as possible, you are basically on that trail. Being a couple spots deep felt like there was no one near us. Especially nice since you cant hear the lake either and it can get super busy. The campsites are spaced out well and I liked that the campground has its own ramp access with parking. While we were there, there was a fire ban so unfortunately couldnt use the very nice looking fire pit. The bathroom was pretty decent for what it is. Everything else was perfect and it was a great time!We also went over to rent kayaks which was nice and easy. The lake wasnt too cold so we also swam a bit in it. The only slight negative to the day use side of the lake was that there was so many influencers. It didnt bother me much at all but it was definitely noticeable. The amazing views make sense for it as well.

The campground was beautiful, well kept, and clean. The communication was clear and friendly, who definitely stay again!
@CathyI9674634 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025
Breathtaking views, clean campsites, and memories to last a lifetime. Our family had an amazing time, and we'll definitely be back!
@CathyJ26779DAC · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #33
A large and popular campground, but the sites are wooded and quiet - private. The lake is the big attraction and it can be full of day hoppers, but there's still room for everyone. The restrooms were clean, as was the whole campground. Friendly staff.
@JenniferN22326 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #48A
We have been going to Trillium for 40 years. It saddens me to see how "overused" this lake has become. Boom boxes on paddle boards seriously? Rentals should not be allowed. Entry to day use strictly limited. Perhaps reservations for day use like Multnomah Falls. The water in the lake was actually brown - ick. However, the campsite was clean and the pit toilets well maintained. Hosts should be more visible. As we were leaving at 7am one of the groups had a fire so much for honoring our national forest!! Let's do better next season.
@JustinR3682506 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025
Huge yurt! Three bunk beds and a futon give plenty of space to stretch out. There's no electric lighting or plug-ins, but that adds to the charm. The gas stove kept the worst of the cold out and was relatively straightforward to figure out. No showers but the bathroom was kept in stock. Beautiful place to spend a summer weekend.
@JEREMYL6200561 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #42
I had made reservations for 3 different sites for each of the 3 days there. On the first day I was made aware that one site was available for the following 2 nights. So I reached out to a camp host to request a reservation for the available site so I would not have to switch sites 3 times like I originally reserved. He said no and blamed upper level management, which is you, for not allowing the camp host to accommodate these changes. I have a 1 year old baby and would have appreciated being able to stay at a site nearby my family without moving out each day. Then, I was informed that the camp host has the ability to accommodate the request I had made, but chose not to and were unwilling to work with me to make this stay a pleasant one for me. No offense, but I spent hundreds of dollars on the reservations and this feels like a poor return of my investment. Even I was willing to pay extra to cover the new reservation.
@NoelleM4782238 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #27
Beautiful camp site (27). Though fully occupied, loop was VERY quiet for peak season (early Aug). Lots of butterflies, huckleberries, dragonflies. Restrooms and dumpster had been services appropriately. Only draw back was part of lake trail was closed for repair and there was no signage to indicate until at the closure point.Overall great experience, look forward to coming back soon.
@GregoryB745869 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #17
Trillium is a beautiful campground with private sites. (we had site 17) You can see the awesome reflection of Mt. Hood on the lake. The campsite is adjacent to the 2 mile loop trail around the lake. Negatives are that there are only pit toilets and no hook-ups. Also the day use area is very crowded but they control entry for day-users, so we went down to the lake early in the morning or in the evening. The other issue was that on weekends you had to rent both Friday and Saturday nights which didn't match our schedule exactly, so we rented both nights but did not show up till Saturday which was OK as long as you let them know

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.

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!!!
