Mt. Hood National Forest Lease Fee Update
If you're a cabin owner in the Mt. Hood National Forest, Fran Lanagan, the permit administrator at the forest service, wants all cabin owners to be aware of the current status of next year's lease fees. Here is her statement and a revision underneath:
Cabin Owners,
I made a mistake on the fee information I sent out. I’m so sorry!
Here is the correct information. Simply put, 2011 bills will be the same as 2010, but we must also add the current inflation index which is less than one percent. So, the Forest Service will bill you for the same amount paid in calendar year 2010, with the addition of the annual index.”
I am very sorry about my error. Thanks so much to MHFHA for helping us with the communication.

Government Camp and Leased Land Cabins
When doing an online search for properties many times the leased land cabins in the Mt. Hood National Forest will appear under Government Camp as a location. They aren't located in the traditional Government Camp area that we think of at the elevation of 3500 feet with a condensed community serviced by water,sewer and amenities. Clackamas county has designated an area "down the hill" from Government Camp as technically included so many forest cabins show up in your search. I believe the cut off area is on Road 28 and 29. If a cabin is in Government Camp they will be serviced by a separate phone company than Rhododendron residents.
Here are cabins located in Government Camp that are on leased land at this time.
