Bear Springs Group Campground

Towering ponderosa pines cast dappled shade over Bear Springs Group Campground, a secluded retreat offering a quintessential Pacific Northwest camping experience with pristine natural surroundings and spacious group sites.

Located on the southeastern edge of Mt. Hood National Forest at 3,000 feet elevation, this campground provides an ideal base for exploring the diverse landscapes of north-central Oregon. The forested setting creates a sense of seclusion while still offering easy access from nearby Highway 216.

Bear Springs caters primarily to group camping, with four generously-sized group sites and a day-use shelter area. The campground's location along Indian Creek adds to its appeal, providing opportunities for streamside relaxation and fishing. Visitors can enjoy short hiking trails in the immediate vicinity or venture further to explore the broader Mt. Hood area. For those seeking water-based adventures, the Deschutes River, renowned for rafting and kayaking, lies within a 30-minute drive. The campground's strategic position near the Warm Springs Reservation and Government Camp offers campers a blend of cultural and recreational experiences, making it well-suited for extended group vacations or weekend getaways focused on outdoor exploration.
