im not from the area nor have i ever been there but,  in Ski gabber i know there was a post about how to camp there and where at. I guess there is an airstrip near by where you could camp forsure and its pretty close and it has a lake/pond you can bath in. there's usually people there too so try to find that in ski gabber sorry if i didnt really help but i have heard of many successful stories of people camping

Itll prolly be cold and rainy, just letting you know. t line people will kick you out if you park there too long. And tent camping could be pretty bad with the rain. There is a hostel thats 20 bucks a night. If i were you i would call them and ask if you can get some sort of deal, there pretty cool. Just google mt hood hostel

i don't knwo how i got into oregon forum but camping in your car is always doable. pretty much anywhere will do, (ie. walmart parking lot) back lot of ski resort, two track, chill parking lot of your choice, etc.
I suggest looking into removing your passenger seat and make a bed if you're in a car, you will really hate yourself if you have to sleep in a car seat nightly for any more than one night
hope that helps

I car camped at a parking lot at the beginning of the roads to trillium lake last night. There is a shit ton of snow everywhere, i dont think the roads will be driveable for a few weeks. It is pretty cold too so bring the warmest stuff you got, I'll be sleeping in warm clothes, inside a sleeping bag, inside a NASA heat blanket tonight.

Is a plow gonna fuck my car up if i park in a snowy parking lot?

I know last summer, one of my friends got some shit for staying overnight in the parking lot and had to move. No tickets or anything, but they might ask you to leave. Really tho, May- June is kinda down time at TL, as most people don't arrive till June, so I'm sure most people won't care.

So I have a few questions. I plan on going to Timberline for a week in mid-July. I want to camp at Timothy Lake but I don't know how far away exactly that is from the resort. And if Timberline has a park in the summer for sure? And how much for a ticket?
