Mt. Hood National Forest
Overview
Frog Lake Campground is a beautiful and somewhat rustic campground on Frog Lake. It provides access to enjoyable outdoor activities, including fishing and leisurely canoeing on the calm, mountain lake.
Recreation
Frog Lake covers 10 acres and is open to fishing, swimming, canoeing and non-motorized boating. Anglers can expect a catch of rainbow trout. Picnicking is available at the campground's day use area, which provides access to the boat ramp. A hiking trail leads east, up Frog Lake Buttes, as does an unimproved forest road, which is open to mountain biking and high-clearance off-road vehicles. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail passes just north of the campground, off Forest Road 2610.
Facilities
The campground offers nearly three dozen single-family sites for tent and RV camping, though RVs over 22 feet are not recommended. Utility hookups are not available. Parking surfaces are gravel and dirt and may be irregular in shape. Each site is equipped with a table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided throughout the campground. Firewood is available for purchase from the campground host.
Natural Features
The campground is located between the highway and Frog Lake at an elevation of 3,800 feet, just past the town of Government Camp in Mt. Hood National Forest. The small campground is situated in a heavily forested area, where the sounds of frogs are heard at night.
Nearby Attractions
The Sno-Park at Frog Lake is about 12 miles east of Government Camp. It provides trail access to Twin Lakes and Frog Lake Butte. The latter trail is closed to snowmobiles during February.

Good availability, clean toilets
We stayed here as Trillium Lake was full. You can hear trucks from the highway and Frog Lake itself is rather unimpressive truthfully, but it was quiet and the vault/pit toilets were the cleanest I've ever used. The camp guests were quiet and respectful, which made it worth it. I'm not sure things would have been as quiet at Trillum. Plus, all the sites are pretty large (ours had two tables) which was great. I think it's a great option if you want proximity to some of the destinations in Mt. Hood without all the people. :)
Also, no service with T-Mobile and no campfires right now due to restrictions.
lots of frogs
campground was full but down the road a bit there are more dispersed sites, found one and had some nice solitude in the woods. the lake was shallow and warm and full of tadpoles and teeny tiny frogs. view of mt. hood at certain angles. all around pleasant.
Beautiful campground
The campground itself was very nice and clean. The camp hosts were very nice. There were a lot of flying insects. The lake is extremely muddy and full of tadpoles. The lake itself is very shallow. Overall great experience but bring your bug repellent.

Fun little lake
So many frogs! Nice shady campsites with short walk to lake.
It was okay.
I just couldn’t get over hearing the semi trucks on 26. But... There’s a nice view of Hood on the south side of the lake. Vault toilets. It was July, bugs were not bad. There were a tons of baby frogs everywhere on the northside of the lake, it was crazy to see. Good hiking nearby.

Beautiful and Quiet
Can't hear the highway and the lake is beautiful, but you can't see the mountain from the campground side.
Mosquitos!!!
Nice hike around the lake but the bugs are horrible!!
Small, Quiet Campground close to Mt. Hood
This small campground is a great alternative to the busier campgrounds found near by. It does not have the views of Mt. Hood like the pictures show, the views of Hood can be found at the day use area on the opposite side of the lake. There is a great trail that goes all the way around the lake and offers plenty of little spots to stop and fish. The spots were plenty large enough and had enough space between them to offer privacy from your neighbors. If you are not able to book a spot in the busier campgrounds near by this is a great alternative.

My favorite place
My grandparents used to take us camping here long time ago. Then the rest of the entire family started going too. Im 51 yrs old now nd still love the feeling of tadpoles between my toes lol. The lake is calm nd shallow for a long ways so kids can play safely all day. Safe trail around the lake and u can hear ur kids for long distances. Miss camping here nd think i will try to soon.
Awesome campground on a Lake
It's a fun campground with a lake. I remember having a blast when I camped there. Sites are close to each other. Had an awesome time.
awesome for kids
millions of tadpoles in the water and twice as many baby frogs on the north side of the lake by the swamp. warm water, not deep at all. beautiful view of mt hood
Frogger heaven!
I have not camped here but we go up and spend the day often. The facilities are clean and well kept. The best part about this place is the tiny frogs you catch. The ground literally moves with them!
Awesome spot for kids and fishing
I have been here a few times there is always campsites available and it’s a great place to camp I love catching fish all the time and it’s super fun for kids and once you go you will find out why it’s named frog lake
Frog Lake
The grounds are nice and secluded. It does get much colder at night because it is close to the lake! Go during a weekday in the summer! The trees look a lIttle.... chopped down also...
