Barlow Crossing Campground is a small camp on the Historic Barlow Road, by Barlow Creek, in the Hood River Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest. It sits at roughly 3,100 feet, and picnicking is the activity the Forest Service lists here.
Alaska Recreational Management runs the campground as a concessionaire. You reach it by way of Forest Roads 43 and 3530. Facilities are basic: there are vault toilets, but no potable water, so arrive with enough to drink, cook and wash up for your whole stay.
