## Overview

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. Also nearby is
Timothy Lake, where boaters and anglers enjoy recreating, all in the shadows
of Mt. Hood, Oregon's highest point.

## Recreation

A short path to view Little Crater Lake begins in the campground. It connects
to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds its way through the
area, past Timothy Lake and up the slopes of Mt. Hood. The long-distance trail
is popular among hikers and backpackers, stretches 2,650 miles through
California, Oregon and Washington, from Canada to Mexico.  
  
Visitors enjoy fishing at Timothy Lake, which covers roughly 1,400 acres.
Anglers will find Kokanee salmon and a variety of stocked trout.

## Facilities

The campground offers more than a dozen single-family sites for tent and RV
camping. Each site is equipped with a table and campfire ring with grill.
Accessible vault toilets are provided. A hand-pump water spigot is located
near the campground's entrance and is the only source of water within the
facility. Utility hookups are not available. Parking surfaces are grass, dirt
and irregularly shaped.

## Natural Features

The quiet campground is nestled in an evergreen forest at an elevation of
3,300 feet. Little Crater Lake is a geologic oddity, possibly formed by
artesian water forcing its way through soft, volcanic rock. The beautiful,
turquoise water is a wonder to see.  
  
The surrounding meadow is a great place for observing birds and other
wildlife. The region is ripe for huckleberry picking as well.

## Nearby Attractions
