Lodge Overview

Mazama Lodge, located on the southern slopes of Mt. Hood near Government Camp, Oregon, is an excellent destination throughout the year. Beautifully situated in the Mt. Hood National Forest at 4,100 feet in elevation, with outstanding views of Mt. Jefferson to the south and the summit of Mt. Hood to the north, the Lodge is open year-round and provides access to cross-country and downhill skiing, mountaineering, hiking, fishing, mountain-biking, whitewater rafting, backpacking, canoeing, swimming, or simply unwinding in a peaceful atmosphere.

Mazama Lodge is owned and operated by the Mazamas, a Portland-based mountaineering organization established in 1894 on the summit of Mt. Hood. The Lodge is open to Mazamas and their guests, and to members of the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs as well as other outdoor and conservation organizations. Additionally, other non-profit organizations such as churches, schools, and youth and civic groups may use the Lodge by special arrangement.

The Lodge is a large, three-story wooden building completed in 1960. On the third floor, the three dormitories and three private rooms can accommodate up to 80 guests. Spacious decks offer stunning views to the north and south. The third level also has men’s and women’s bathrooms with large tiled showers. On the second level is the main floor dining area and lounge, with comfortable seating around a beautiful stone fireplace. The lounge is enhanced by a piano for sing-alongs, and there are plenty of games, books, and magazines. Also on the lounge level is a TV room with VCR and an assortment of family-oriented videos. Kids of all ages will especially enjoy the basement level with its large recreation room and ping-pong, pool, and foosball tables. Ski lockers, laundry facilities, and a drying room are also found in the basement. The Lodge offers many areas where families and groups can gather for cards, discussions, or other private activities, or where new friendships may be started or old ones renewed.

In addition to beautiful surroundings and rustic accommodations, guests can enjoy three delicious family-style meals a day, and we offer sack lunches for guests on the go. Almost everything we serve is made from scratch and we often feature some of the latest trends of tasteful dishes.  If you have special dietary concerns or restrictions, such as allergies, please let us know; if we can accommodate you, we will. The sooner we know about any special dietary preferences, the better we can meet your needs.

Government Camp is a mecca for winter sports enthusiasts. Mazama Lodge is located just five miles from Timberline Ski Area, the only year-round ski resort in the continental U.S., and the highest vertical drop in the Pacific Northwest. Within a 20 minute drive there are over 20 chair lifts in five ski areas, with night skiing at most areas including America’s largest night skiing area at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl. Just outside the Lodge doors, cross-country skiers can access dozens of miles of trails ranging from the serene and scenic to challenging routes demanding downhill skills. The Lodge is usually surrounded by snow well into May, but when the snow recedes, other opportunities for fun and recreation beckon. Hike amidst wildflowers, mountain bike the downhill slopes of Ski Bowl, swim, canoe, or picnic at Trillium Lake, or fish the Salmon River for trout and steelhead. With the Pacific Crest Trail and the summit of Mt. Hood just miles away, consider Mazama Lodge as a basecamp for exploration of the myriad surrounding public lands and wilderness areas.

Outdoor recreation at Mazama Lodge need not be either snow-covered or strenuous! Enjoy abundant spring rhododendrons and bear grass, savor late summer huckleberries, or feast your eyes on the vivid autumn colors of vine maple and ferns. More civilized recreational opportunities also exist. Tour historic sites on the Oregon Trail, visit local wineries, or sample the microbrews at Mt. Hood Brew Pub. Even if you don’t intend to ski, Timberline Lodge is a worth a visit—built in the 1930s as a WPA project, this National Historic Landmark is an impressive monument to the skill and struggle of the hundreds of craftsmen who made it a reality. Or you can explore the scenic Mt. Hood/Columbia Gorge loop, renown for spectacular waterfalls and the orchards of Hood River Valley, “The Apple Center of Oregon.” Consider Mazama Lodge as your affordable home-away-from-home for all of these adventures.

All guests must sleep in beds in designated sleeping areas. Guests are to provide their own sleeping bags, pillows, or other bedding. Guests are requested to clean up after themselves after dining and upon departure from the Lodge. Thank you for helping keep Mazama Lodge clean.
