Discovering a winter sports paradise in Oregon

While Government Camp real estate is popular for vacation homes and cabins, it is an undiscovered paradise for winter sports enthusiasts in particular. It’s true that a significant year-round residential base gives the area some deep roots of citizens who care about their home in the beautiful Oregon forest. But there is no season like snow season in Government Camp.

This little community is an unincorporated area within Clackamas County, Oregon. It is located in the Mount Hood Corridor just north of one of the most uniquely named mountains in the world: Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain. And not just any Tom Dick or Harry!

It is a very close to several regional ski resorts. There is Timberline Lodge, just 15 minutes away. Then there is Mount Hood Skibowl, and its own beginner’s mountain called Summit Ski Area. For those who want more than a five minute drive, there is another popular resort near Government Camp called Mt. Hood meadows. The Mount Hood Meadows ski resort is only twenty minutes away from Government Camp.

Listing the ski resorts doesn’t even touch on the fact that there are miles and miles of outdoor trails where show-shoers and cross-country skiers can see the beautiful back country in a way that few get to experience. So whether you’re a beginner or seasoned pro when it comes to winter sports, you’ll find plenty of action in Government Camp.

Government Camp is located on Interstate 26, also called the Mount Hood Scenic Byway. It is near the intersection of I-26, Oregon Route 35, and the Barlow Pass summit of the Cascade Range.

An added bonus is that Government Camp real estate and Mt Hood real estate tend to be reasonably priced. You can find Government Camp real estate to fit most budgets, whether you’re looking for cabins or year round homes, and the beautiful scenery will be a perpetual reward for home ownership.
