Rock Creek Campground sits on the shores of scenic Rock Creek Reservoir in the pine-covered mountains of Mt. Hood National Forest. It is a family-friendly campground with many sites right on the water’s edge. The campground provides access to a variety of recreational activities, as well as historic sites throughout the forest.
