Meditation Campground is a small walk-in campground on the shores of Timothy Lake. Campers should park at the Westshore Day Use area to access the campground. The rustic sites are limited to groups of six campers each. It is 4 sites and is accessible by boat, bike or hike-in only. There is a toilet there and each site is equipped with a table and fire ring.
From Sandy, OR - travel east on Highway 26 for approximately 40 miles to Skyline Road (Rd 42). Turn right on Skyline Road, travel south 9 miles. Turn right on FS Road 57, west 2+ miles, go over Timothy Lake Dam. Turn right into the Myron Blank Westshore Dayuse Area. Go to end of parking area and park. Walk in on Timothy Lake Trail to Meditation Point.
Great camping spots with amazing views. Outhouse was out of service. The 3/4 mile hike uphill with your gear when packing out is brutal, but convenient at least to be able to park in the gravel lot.
Great secluded campground, much quieter than the main campgrounds on the other side of the lake. Biked in on a Thursday and only one other site was occupied.
Very nice new compositing toilet too.
We dispersed camped here. Beautiful place. It gets a 5 except do not mosquito season if you are venom intolerance. I am in the E.R. from this. Biting flies and tons of mosquitoes... and repellent doesn't stop them. You will even see mosquitoes in the morning... something is killing the pine trees. Moss and black fungus
Amazing front country pack in sites. We have the whole place to ourselves. It was beautiful. Great views of Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson.
