Description

Located on the south rim of Timothy Lake, the Cove Campground offers 10 hike-in or bike-in tent sites. You won’t find any drinking water or bathrooms, but you can always RV camp too. Timothy Lake is one of the few lakes in the Mt. Hood Forest that allows motorized boating. Fishing, hiking, backpacking and canoeing are also activities of choice. Time to buff up those shoulders and work on some tan lines? Open season starts May 21st, but you can wise up to any alerts or weather advisories on the campground website.
