Government Camp is located
in Clackamas County, east of Portland along US Highway 26, between Welches
and the Hwy 35/US Hwy 26 junction. In October of 1849, the Oregon Militia,
part of the US Army and the first official US military presence in Oregon,
used the Barlow Road to get to Fort Vancouver in what is now Washington
state. The Militia was caught in a storm crossing Mount Hood and several
wagons had to be abandoned here before starting down Laurel Hill.
Emigrants crossing the Barlow Road the following season camped at this
site, naming it Government Camp for the government wagons they found here.
Government Camp is the gateway to several nearby Oregon Trail sites and
short hiking trails within the Mount Hood National Forest. An enclosed
kiosk includes exhibits on the Oregon Trail and Barlow Road. Daughters of
the American Revolution (DAR) markers honoring Sam and Susannah Barlow
stand nearby.
