Government Camp classified as an unincorporated community located in Clackamas County, Oregon south of Mount Hood and north of Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain. It is a entryway to several ski resorts, the most admired being Timberline Lodge and Mount Hood Ski bowl. Government Camp also has its own smaller ski resort called Summit Ski Area. About 25 minutes further on US 26 there is another extremely popular resort called Mount Hood Meadows.
The community of Government Camp is located within the Mount Hood Corridor on U.S. Route 26 near its intersection with Oregon Route 35 and the Barlow Pass summit of the Cascade Range.
Settlers traveling the Barlow Road discovered several wagons abandoned there by the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen and gave government Camp its name based on their discovery.
In the last decade Government Camp went through an enormous revitalization effort thanks to a Clackamas County urban renewal district. With the urban renewal district expiring in 2007, the community of Government Camp has been looking at ways to continue current services. The community is still exploring its options of incorporating.
