Nottingham Campground and its day-use area sit just off Highway 35 on the Hood River Ranger District, about 20 miles from the Hood River exit on I-84. That central spot makes it handy for trips toward Mt. Hood or into the town of Hood River.
The Hood River flows right past the campground, and most sites have their own way down to the water. Day visitors come to picnic and fish the river in a quiet, relaxed setting. Facilities are simple, with vault toilets and no drinking water, so bring what you need.
