Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel periods in Government Camp, with guests booking early to enjoy crisp alpine air, snowy forest trails, and convenient access to Mt. Hood’s early-season ski terrain. Families and groups consistently choose this mountain town for its mix of classic cabins, spacious lodges like The Lodge at Government Camp, and cozy spaces perfect for gathering after a day outside. As demand grows each year, Government Camp continues to deliver exactly what holiday travelers look for – winter recreation just minutes away, welcoming retreat-style lodging, and a relaxed, scenic setting ideal for a late-November getaway.
For 2025, we’re featuring two spacious mountain lodges perfect for multigenerational trips, Friendsgiving celebrations, and group getaways. Additional homes will be added to our Government Camp collection this season, giving travelers even more options across the village, from classic cabins to larger lodge-style properties.
