So im tryna camp there in July. Need some info I couldn't find on the campground site or any other threads.
1. How much does it cost to camp for 1 spot for a week?
2. What's the probability that it will be full or I won't get a spot?
And is Timberline gonna have a park this summer for sure?

Camp at the airstrip.

See map:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Government+Camp,+OR+97049&daddr=Unknown+road&hl=en&geocode=FcdIswIdUCu--CmBYcutpBi-VDEDAfuxv4MJ2w%3BFdTvsgIdjHe--A&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=17&sll=45.281017,-121.732668&sspn=0.006515,0.016512&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17

Benefits:

Very close to Trillium Lake so you can swim/bathe with ease.
FREE (trillium lake costs $17+ per night)
LEGAL
Other shredders will be there.
Pretty much guaranteed space. Trillium has online booking and July is THE month so spots are filling up fast.

Thanks dude. What's the deal with the airstrip? Is it like a legit campground or just a airstrip that people camp at?

former airstrip that is being reclaimed by the forest.

It is just a place that has easy access, is free, has essentially established campsites (no tables, just wide spots with usually a rock fire ring) around the former airstrip that people camp at.
