Wild West

Government Camp is an unincorporated community and census-designated place located in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States, on the base of Mount Hood and north of Tom Dick and Harry Mountain. It is the only town within 5 miles (8 km) of Mount Hood and therefore is the de facto "mountain town" or "ski town". It is the gateway to several ski resorts, with the most popular being Timberline Lodge and Mount Hood Skibowl. Government Camp also has its own, smaller ski resort, Summit Pass.

As you arrive in Government Camp, the first thing you’ll notice is the breathtaking scenery. With Mount Hood towering over the town, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a postcard. Whether you’re visiting during the winter or summer months, there’s always something to do in this picturesque location.

During the winter, Government Camp is a hub for snow sports. With easy access to four ski resorts, including Timberline, Mount Hood Meadows, SkiBowl, and Cooper Spur, you’ll never be short of ski runs to explore. If skiing or snowboarding isn't your thing, you can still enjoy the winter wonderland by taking a snowshoeing or sledding tour.
