This trip was pretty late season so it was pretty chilly and the fog unfortunately prevented the alleged views of Mt. Hood that I’d assumed by the name of the campground. We had friends join us though so this was a really fun group trip. Timothy Lake is gorgeous and so pristine and clear. It was perfect for kayaking and practicing our stone skipping. We also did a bit of fishing and Mark even caught a very small fish. It was really easy to walk along the lake where we stumbled upon a lot of meticulously placed cairns. It felt very private and quiet, I assume its got a lot more lake recreation activity in the high summer. The campsite itself was very large and perfect for a group. Its about 2 hours from home.

Pros:

• Huge secluded sites
• Bathrooms were not terrible
• Site was right on the lake with a beautiful view
• Great for kayaking and fishing

Cons:

• Pretty cold in September
• Couldn’t actually see Mt. Hood
• Not on any trails
