Stone Creek Campground (Timothy Lake)

Stone Creek Campground is located on the shores of Timothy Lake in the shadow of Mt. Hood. The surrounding forest setting offers views of Mt. Hood, several trails for exploration, and abundant fishing. There is a day use parking area on the lakeshore with a small boat launch intended for non-motorized boats such as kayaks or canoes.

Stone Creek Campground has 21 tent sites and 22 RV-sized (non-electric) sites in separate loops. The campground has barrier-free sites and amenities.

A new horse group camp at Stone Creek for equestrians opens July 1, 2025.
