Clackamas Lake Campground

Clackamas Lake Campground is a great camping destination, especially when nearby Timothy Lake sites are full. The lake is small and very shallow. It provides access to fishing, swimming and leisurely boating, as well as a number of trails and historic points along the way. This campground has a seasonal gate.

The corrals at Clackamas Lake Campground were constructed by Oregon Equestrian Trails (OET) volunteers in partnership with USDA Forest Service.
