About Carter Bridge Campground
On the Wild and Scenic Clackamas River. The campground is a compact single loop through cedars, maples, and alders. A couple of berry patches suggest good picking in late summer. Some sites have great views of the river. Popular recreation activities include fishing and whitewater rafting.
