“I just stayed at Gone Creek Campground in Oregon . . . the campground is very nice; each site has lots of room. No water or electric, but if that is OK it is a great place. Near Mt. Hood with all its attractions; the lake was fun to boat on and limited to 10 MPH so it was peaceful and not just dodging the speed boats. The campground hosts were very nice and helpful. Had a great time.” – Leslie G
What is latest check in?
Hi Laurie,
The latest check in at Gone Creek campground is usually by midnight, but you should call the campground to double check: 503 464-8515 or 503 668-1700.
Is there a maximum number of tents allowed on a campsite?
Hi Mary,
Gone Creek campground permits 6 people per campsite and you can have as many tents in the site as will fit.
How old is the map here? It’s not matching what is listed on the reservation site as of Jan 2019
Hi Ashleigh,
Thanks for the heads up on the Gone Creek Campground Map. We’ve updated the map and it is now current (Jan, 2019).
Doesn’t look like the photos are matching the site numbers since it got updated. Which map are you using?
Hi Sarah,
We double checked and most of the sites are correct – just photographed from different angles and some of the vegetation has changed. However, it looks like the campground recently flip flopped a few sites (34/35, 36/37 and maybe 38/39). We will check on those and update our photos/site #s. Thanks for the heads up!
I will be staying at Gone Creek and was wondering if its allowed to leave my canoe on the shore rather than taking it back to my campsite each night?
Hi Jay,
We’re not aware of any rules about not leaving your canoe on the shore each night (instead of taking it back to your campsite). You may want to call to confirm. We have two #s for the campground: 503 464-8515 or 503 668-1700
