Lazy Bend

Lazy Bend Campground offers a peaceful retreat situated directly along the banks of the Wild and Scenic Clackamas River. Surrounded by the lush, verdant landscapes of the Mt. Hood National Forest, this site provides a classic Pacific Northwest escape where the soothing sounds of the river serve as the perfect backdrop for your outdoor adventure. Whether you are looking to spend your days fishing for winter steelhead or navigating the river's currents by raft or kayak, the setting offers endless natural beauty.

This federal campground is managed by the USFS and is open year-round for those looking to enjoy the changing seasons. Facilities are designed for a rustic, back-to-basics experience, featuring vault toilets, designated fire rings, and convenient access to a boat ramp and local hiking trails. While the site is primitive with no utility hookups, it provides a scenic home base for both tent campers and RV travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the forest.

Lazy Bend is well-suited for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and anglers who prefer a moderate experience level away from the bustle of city life. The combination of river access and forest seclusion makes it an ideal spot for those who value nature and wildlife over modern conveniences.
