About this campground

Still Creek Campground is located in the Mt Hood National Forest. This 27-site campground sits on the bank of Still Creek, and is surrounded by lush forest and many recreational opportunities. The village of Government Camp is one mile away, and Timberline Lodge, a National Historic Landmark on Mt Hood, is located within 7 miles of Still Creek Campground.

The campground offers more than two dozen single-family sites for tent and RV camping. Utility hookups are not provided and parking surfaces are an assortment of dirt, gravel and paved. Water disposal sites are scattered throughout the campground. Sites are equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Firewood is available for purchase at or near the campground.

The campground sits on the banks of Still Creek just south Mt. Hood at an elevation of about 3,700 feet. It is surrounded by a lush forest of mixed conifers, including cedar, pine and fir trees. A dense understory of shrubs makes for ample privacy between sites. The creek can be heard throughout the campground.

A variety of hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails can be accessed from the campground, including the historic Barlow Trail. The somewhat primitive, 1-mile trail connects the campground with the town of Government Camp. Fly-fishing is a popular activity on Still Creek. Anglers can expect a variety of trout and occasional whitefish and salmon.

What campers say

Still Creek is a medium-sized, mostly primitive campground with widely spaced, private sites that suit tent and car camping. It offers convenient access to Government Camp, Trillium Lake and nearby trailheads, and a small creek runs through the area. Amenities are minimal (vault/pit toilets only) and visitors report mixed maintenance: many find sites and restrooms clean, while others note rundown roads, potholes and occasional issues with the camp host and a dog. Expect overall quiet, though some sites near the highway experience road noise. Mobile service has been reported as decent by some campers.
