Lockaby Campground

Lockaby Campground is along the Clackamas River in the Mt. Hood National Forest. For experienced whitewater rafters, the campground is a good base from which to enjoy the river. Winter steelhead, spring Chinook and late summer Coho salmon, along with other freshwater fish, draw anglers to the river. Nearby are good hiking trails.

Lockaby Campground has 30 campsites for tents or small RVs or trailers. Some sites are available first-come, first-served; but most can be reserved prior to arrival. A dense forest provides good shade.
