Perched at 3,600 feet on the south slope of Mount Hood, Government Camp is Oregon's quintessential mountain village — a tight-knit, spirited community where the ski culture runs deep and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. In winter, it serves as the hub for skiing and snowboarding at Timberline, Mt. Hood Meadows, and Ski Bowl; in summer, the same slopes and surrounding forests transform into a hiker's paradise, with the iconic Timberline Lodge — a National Historic Landmark — as a stunning backdrop for it all. Compact, charming, and refreshingly unpretentious, Government Camp is the beating heart of the Mount Hood experience.
