“Great Spot Near Mt Good”

Great parking lot near the base of Mount Hood with amazing views. Clean pit toilets, useable Verizon (2-3 bars), solid Starlink. It’s a bit unlevel but was still completely fine for us to sleep. Stayed 2 nights and would definitely go back if needed.

We boondocked here for 2 nights in August 2024 over a weekend. There were a lot of people in and out each day stopping to admire the beautiful view. Most people let their dogs off leash when they arrived. Each night there were about 10-12 people camped in the lot all around the edges.
There are beautiful trails to hike on in the direction of Mt Hood, plus walking along the river is absolutely beautiful.
There was some road noise, but not terrible.
The parking lot is DEFINITELY on a very strong slope and we were at quite a weird angle to make it work, but we did. ;-)
Easy in and out. Any size of rig can fit (we have a 45-ft toy hauler).
Verizon cell service was 2 bars. Starlink was slower than usual.

Huge parking lot that has plenty of space for a rig of any size. The pit toilets were very clean. There are a lot of people in and out everyday due to the beautiful view but pretty quiet.

Seemed like most people were just staying a night as they passed through the area. There is a bit of a slope to the parking lot but it’s not too bad. FS came through periodically to clean up the area, there was a bit of trash from others camping. Overall it was a great area.

Huge paved area right off the highway with clean vault bathrooms. Great view of the mountains even from there but perfect place to stay while exploring nearby trails/lakes. Very dark, decent service and little noise.

Cell signal is so so, better with ATT or a tall booster.
Starlink is fantastic here.
Summer this place has great views and is cool.
Gets decent traffic for tourists during the day.

We stayed here for several nights exploring the various area hikes. It is just a big paved lot with a slope. We could level out though. No parking permit needed May thru October. Had great T-Mobile coverage with our antenna (even without the boost). There is a vault toilet if needed and trash cans

Tons of places to park with steady traffic in and out, I stayed in summer and taking dips in the mountain run off was awesome! Come early in the week for the best spots, as some are un-level for a big rig. Felt very safe, everyone was just trying to soak in the views. It’s easy to fall in love with the town.

Snow Bunny internet wasn’t amazing but for sure better and more reliable.

Initially planned to just stay here a night or two, but ended up being here 5 days because its such a nice area. Its just a parking lot, but a very large area with more than enough space for everyone. The whole area is pretty sloped, so be aware you'll have to put some extra effort in to get level if you want it perfect - also is in a flash flood zone so just be aware of the weather.
Easily the largest of any of the sno-park areas, and certainly has the best view of Mt. Hood by far - really cool to see the groomers operating on the mountain at night in the middle of summer. Right near the white river, which is a simple walk from the parking lot. Some noise from the highway, but nothing bad.
Vault toilets provided, no trash service. Cell signal is iffy - I was able to work during the day and conduct video calls but it was on the edge of acceptable and I used a cell booster to make Verizon more reliable. Seems like maybe service was better towards the top of the lot closer to the mountain. 5-7mbps down, .5-1mbps up on Verizon, T-Mobile/Sprint was unusable for me even with booster. Verizon speeds fluctuated greatly with traffic - mostly just after 5pm or so.
I grabbed water from one of the area campgrounds, and also threw trash out there - went between the check-in/check-out times so it was quiet and no one seemed to mind (no front gates or anything, just a couple rangers cleaning the sites). There's a free municipal dump station in Hood River OR about 30-40 minutes north thats very clean, there may be better/closer options but I was headed that way anyway so it worked for me. Very few services in this area so get groceries ahead of time.
