White River West Sno-Park

We decided last minute to head towards mt hood on labor day weekend with no reservations anywhere. We shared the lower lot with one other motorhome and we were glad that no one else came, it would've felt crowded. We both backed in and it was nice and semi secluded. Had a few good hours of solar each day. The upper (main) lot had room for a bunch of RVs. We pulled 2 bars verizon 4g and could easily get 3 or 4 bars in the upper parking lot.

Awesome views of Mt Hood and a crazy looking river to play in. Easy to get to, has cell service- everything you want in a free place.

It is a little close to the road but the sound of the river was more apparent than any road noise.

There’s a huge parking area you can stay in or at the back of the lot there’s a way to get up on the ridge and you can camp there- out bus made it up there with ease.

There were a handful of other people who stopped in for the night and it seemed most people we just passing through but this could easily be a basecamp dog exploring the area (lots of good hiking or just a day relaxing on nearby trillium lake)
