Proximity to Timothy Lake allows campers to enjoy a variety of water-related recreation activities, including boating and sailing, as well as swimming, windsurfing and fishing. Anglers can expect a catch of kokanee salmon and a variety of trout.

A range of trails are located in the area. The Timothy Lake Trail is popular for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.

Portions of that trail also lead southwest to Clackamas Lake Campground.

The Clackamas Lake Ranger Station Historic District is less than 2 miles from the campground. It was built to house forest service workers in the early 1900s. The rustic architecture and historic nature of the buildings and the surrounding area draws thousands of tourists each year.Facilities
