Know Before You Go

In accordance with standard industry practices, Mount Hood Recreation will be assessing a $8 additional vehicle fee on the "second vehicle" in each single family campsite, and on the "third and fourth vehicle" in any double family campsite, provided these vehicles are not joined to the first vehicle by a hitch and towed onto the site. In the case of motorcycles, the first two are considered as one vehicle for determining additional vehicle fees. The third and fourth motorcycle would also be considered as one vehicle. No additional vehicle fees are collected for bicycles.
Utility hookups are not available
Off-road vehicle use is prohibited within the campground
