Little Crater Lake Campground is one of the most scenic spots in Mt. Hood National Forest and a very comfortable place to camp. It is not far from Little Crater Lake, a cold, crystal clear, spring-fed pond - absolutely no swimming in Little Crater Lake. Also nearby is Timothy Lake, where boaters, swimmers and anglers enjoy recreating, all in the shadows of Mt. Hood, Oregon's highest point.

Located near Little Crater Lake. The small version of the famous lake to the south is considered a geologic oddity, possibly created by artesian water forcing its way through the soft volcanic rock, creating a "blowhole." Excellent huckleberry picking in the vicinity. Campground is wheelchair accessible.
