Fish Creek Campground - Day 1: June 27th

I've been trying to find a campground around the Portland, Oregon area that is far enough out of the city to not be around cars, noise, and lot's of people. I came across the website Reserve America. It actually turned out to be really helpful site with finding campgrounds, information on what kind of facilities they have, and placing on-line reservations. After some research I came across a small campground called Fish Creek Campground. The camp actually turned out to be one of many small campgrounds in the Mt. Hood National Forest. The grounds held about 20 sites, all of which had plenty of privacy, a fire pit, picnic tables, individual site parking, and outhouse type bathrooms. The river nearby provides plenty of stuff to do including swimming, kayaking, rafting, and fishing. We arrived at the campground around 7:00 P.M. and checked in with the camp hosts. The rest of the night was spent setting up the campsite, and drinking around the campfire.
