Best Time to Camp at Rock Creek Campground (Mt. Hood National Forest, Or)
Each season brings its own personality to Rock Creek. Late spring arrives like a gentle friend, offering perfect camping temperatures and wildflower-dotted meadows. Summer transforms the landscape into a sun-drenched retreat, though savvy campers know to pack extra water as the reservoir drops to quench thirsty farmlands below. Don't let the warm days fool you—mountain breezes can turn crisp after sunset, and early summer nights often call for an extra layer around the campfire. The dusty trails of August tell stories of adventure, while cool mornings remind you that you're camping at elevation.
Open in summer but mid-summer low water frequently limits swimming/boating activities.
Fall brings seasonal hues and cooler temps; late season reservoir levels may be low.
Spring is cited as the best time: fuller reservoir, wildflowers and pleasant temps.
Campground closed outside Apr 18–Sep 23; winter use not available.
