Lots of people, climbers in particular, camp in the Timberline parking lot.  It doesn't have any facilities, though.

If you're coming from the East it's about a mile before the road to Timberline on the left.  There is a sign that says "Trillium Lake".  make a left there and go about a mile.  the first right turn into a gravel road is the Airstrip.  If you keep going you'll be at the Pay lots... F them.  You'll be close enough to Trillium to bathe and play in the lake.  
If you're coming from Portland pass up the Road to T-Line and just look for the trillium lake sign.  it creeps up on ya.
