Very nice park; some freeway noise as others have noted but it wasn't a problem. Great washroom and shower facilities. This park is very pet friendly; there is a large grass field between the campground and the river which is perfect for dogs. A river beach is accessible via a trail from the campsite, but beware of trains: they come almost silently sometimes. They usually toot to warn beachgoers though. Swimming is available, but children should be watched very closely. Train noise at night was not a problem. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice campground. The highway noise is a slight problem. Sites are larger then average size. The grounds are clean and well mantained. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a beautiful park! The sites are right on the Columbia River and it is a short easy drive to Hood River. The sites were large, level and easy to access. We picked fresh blackberries right by our site. We only heard a train once and it was during the day. The highway is right there so if you are tent camping it might be a little noisy, but inside our trailer, it was minimal. The staff was very nice and friendly. We would stay here again.

The site descriptions in ReserveAmerica list 20 Amp service only but we had 30 at our site (A-9) as did the rest of the full hook-up sites. With high 90’s as the daytime temperature this was appreciated. If you disregard the traffic noise from I-84 you have an almost picture perfect campsite. During the day the traffic noise in the sites directly backing on the highway is annoying but it seems to diminish in the evening. I didn’t notice the trains but relative to the highway the rails are a good distance from the full service facilities. Once you leave the campground it takes about 10 miles of driving to return. Your trading this inconvenience, however, for the opportunity to stay in a beautiful part of the Columbia river gorge - inexpensively. The river view sites are truly awesome but I believe they're all without utilities. The facility is loaded with family’s and kids so be alert. We would gladly return.

This is a smaller park that has become our preferred campground when meeting family from Eastern Oregon. It's a great halfway point for us. Columbia River is nearby, though it's not an easy hike down there. Didn't notice as much noise from the trains this year, compared to past trips. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice state park, kind of noisy, but you are between a freeway and train tracks so it is expected. Didn't hear any train whistles at night. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is one of our favorite Oregon State Parks. It has lots of green grass and the sites are not too close together. There is plenty of room for slideouts. The view from some of the sites is outstanding. You can see the Columbia River with its barge traffic and the occasional windsurfer. You can see the trains that travel the Washington side of the river. There is also a train that travels just below the bluff on the Oregon side of the river just below the park. This one does create some noise because there is a trail from the park to the river and they blow their horn to warn the hikers. I don't mind this noise at all and in fact enjoy it. A couple of points that surprised me are that they only have 30 amp power and they do not have a sewer connection that seals. They use the old opening that bends parallel with the ground and you have to take the connector off your hose and cram the flexible hose down the tube. I thought this had been outlawed years ago. Anyway, it is a beautiful park and we will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As others have mentioned, you can't get away from the train noise. This is just a fact of life along the Columbia Gorge. We didn't find the trains too horrible at this park, especially when compared to their noise level at Viento State Park which is further west along the river (Viento is by far the noisiest park we have ever camped at when it comes to trains!). In spite of train noise, we would camp here again. The park is quite lovely from a scenic standpoint. We enjoyed the Discovery Season rate of $16 for our full hook-up site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the prettiest and nicest parks we have been to. We have two kids and the large grassy areas for them to play were wonderful. The only reason it gets a 5 is that the trains came through at night and blasted their horns so loud we had to leave. We have stayed at many parks were the trains come by and you hear horns, but this was unbelievably loud. The train is about 50 yards from the sites. I spoke with the Oregon Parks and they told me that the Union Pacific drivers do it for fun and we should complain to them. We would love to go back but the noise was too much. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean, neat, and beautiful park. The only down side for us was how far the park was to the historic scenic road and some of the other activities that we were interested in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Awesome Oregon State Park on the bank of the Columbia River in the middle of the Gorge. Most sites are reserved long before summer as this is the windsurfing capital of the known world.. Lots of things to do here and in the area. There is a small beach on the river about 200 yds down a hill and across the rr tracks..Large number of trains, but you don't really notice them...The view far surpasses the noise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Oregon State Park on the Columbia River. Nice grassy campground with paved roads and pads. Great sites for kids next to the playground. Great sites for kidless overlooking the river. Secret of Memaloose is found down a 1/4 mile path to a beautiful little sand beach on the river. Fun side trips include visits to Historic Columbia River Highway and windsurfing access. Only thing that kept me from giving a 10 is the I-84 road noise (not terrible but there). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park, in the Columbia River Gorge, is sandwiched between the noisy pavement on I-84 and the busy Union Pacific train tracks. The tracks are about 150 feet from the park and when the westbound train approaches, the first sound is the very loud horn as it approaches the crossing in park. The train will likely wake you up at night. The RV sites and the road are paved, with good shade and shelter from the strong winds in this area. 56 RV sites have electric and water, and the rest are dry. Each RV site has a screened pit for dumping gray water, a first for us. Each RV site is paved; 30 feet is about the maximum length of RV, although a couple of longer Class As fit in without any problem. There is no campground host, although a volunteer who lives at the maintenance facility does offer firewood for sale and fixed a problem with the electric service in the park. The primitive tent camping area is across the interstate from the rest of the campground. There is a day use access to the Columbia River; campers do not pay more to use it. There is no dump station in the park. Our Verizon air card did not work well here, with only intermittent connectivity. Under Oregon's 3 nights for the price of two, we stayed here for under $11 a night. Go to www.oregon.gov/OPRD to print out the coupon for the third night (Sunday-Thursday). The campground is first come first serve and is handy for exploring Hood River, kiteboarding and wind sailing on the Columbia River, Mount Hood, and the lovely Historic Columbia Gorge Highway or Trail. We enjoyed our stay in the park, and we'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
