Camp Creek is a campground with a day-use area on the Zigzag Ranger District, set alongside a forest creek. From Sandy, follow Highway 26 east and keep going past Rhododendron to reach it. The Zigzag Mountains rise nearby, and the Mount Hood Wilderness boundary is close at hand.
Day visitors come for the surrounding trails, which are used by hikers, bikers, and horseback riders. The campground is wheelchair accessible. Facilities are basic, with vault toilets and no drinking water, so pack what you need for the day.
