Here’s our review on Campground Reviews:
Nice campground close to Mt Hood
This park has a nice mix of sites close to all sorts of outdoor activities in the area. We were grateful to be under the tall trees during the worst of the heat even if it meant the Starlink was pretty useless. There are newer sites that have no trees, but they were baking in the sun. You really need to weigh your priorities when making your site reservation. The roads are a bit narrow in spots, and they have a few trees that need to be trimmed, but overall we had no trouble getting our 40′ motorhome around to our site. We really enjoyed the on-site restaurant. Their breakfasts are awesome. We camped at Mt Hood Village RV Resort in a Motorhome.

We moved the picnic table out of the way, since we have our own in the tent:

Utilities:
I got out my ladder to access the roof; I attached knee pads to it to protect the edge of the roof:
The main reason for the ladder was to remove a branch that I’d noticed was wedged up there:
I also took some pics of the roof, since this was the first time I’ve used the ladder to access it (and I’ve still never been on the roof):
We took Paladin out into the screen tent:

The village has a restaurant and store:

We were in the Vine Maple Hollow campground (a bit harsh to call the children slow):
Our neighbor had a catio:
