Polallie Campground is a quiet, low-key campground in the Hood River Ranger District, right beside Polallie Trailhead off Oregon Hwy 35. It began as a dispersed campsite. The trailhead pullout is also where East Fork Trail #650 begins, west of the restroom, and it meets Elk Meadows Trail #645 after 0.1 mile.
From Portland, drive US Hwy 26 to a point 31 miles past Sandy, then take Oregon Hwy 35 north for 16.5 miles; the pullout is on the left (west), just before Cooper Spur Road and about 0.7 mile beyond milepost 73. Coming from Hood River, it is a 22.2-mile drive south on Oregon Hwy 35. There is no drinking water.
