About

Located in the heart of the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, this KOA will have you rollin' along the river in no time - whether you're cruising aboard the stern-wheeler Columbia Gorge, exploring waterfalls along the historic Columbia River Highway or hiking on Larch Mountain's trails at an elevation of 4,000 feet. Displays in the riverfront Marine Park explain the 19th-century locks that made the turbulent Columbia passable (and gave Cascade Locks its name). In nearby Hood River, the Mount Hood Railroad links the Columbia Gorge with the foothills of snowcapped Mount Hood. Camp among forested Tent Sites, full-hookup RV Sites with 110-foot pull thrus, one- and two-room Camping Cabins and Deluxe Cabins.

Nice campground with a loud train

The staff is very friendly and helpful! Nice sized area for our trailer with full hook-ups. The area was clean and well maintained with fire pits at each site, but the train was very loud (especially at night).

Great cereal location to explore the Columbia’s River Gorge

Cascade Locks KOA is a perfect base camp for exploring up and down the Columbia Gorge. The tall pine trees made for great shade and a true campground feel.

The only downside was the train which is really out of the park’s control but if you’re in a tent it will be hard to ignore.

After 2 sleepless nights at a State Park, we were planning to cancel our stay and travel inland to escape the trains that ran 24/7 in the Gorge. However, after expressing our concerns to Catherine, KOA staff at the front desk, she worked her magic, moved us to the back of the park where the noise was more buffered. We stayed for spent 6 days to explore Colombia Gorge and Mount Hood. The staff here were on point! The bathrooms very clean! Even better is that their pool and hot tub were operational and highly maintained.

It was decent, but wouldn’t stay again

The office staff was very friendly. Local area has numerous things to do nearby. No kids activities for older kids due to our stay being in April. Game room and pool was closed. The train was pretty noisy and campground right next to houses. No trail to walk on and dog area very small. The playground was run down and very muddy due to the rainy stormy weather with hail. The campground is located right next to houses, no view. Bathrooms were clean. I liked our site compared to other sites there. My biggest disappointment was lack of things for the kids to do with it being a smaller campground and not any area for the kids to play football etc. I expect KOAs to have more activities for the kids.

Nice park for families.

We stayed at Cascade Locks KOA in June 2021. We were late booking so had to camp in a 30 amp pull-thru site. The site we stayed in was not very level so be sure to bring your legos to assist in leveling. The park is older but is run very well. There is a large selection of sites including pull-thru, back-in, tents, and cabins. Our site had cable hookup for tv. We did not have much luck with the WiFi, however. There is also a nice pool and a great gift shop which we used to pick up a few supplies and ice cream 😬. There is a train that runs along the back of the campground which can be loud if your site is close by. The train noise did not bother us in the center of the park where we were. All in all, a nice Oregon park off interstate 84 by the Columbia Gorge. If you have kids they will have a ball.

Nice stay under the trees

We stayed for a night and we wish we could we could have extended. It was nice staying under the canopy of trees. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The store is stocked with only the basics, but that was fine. There is a train the comes by every so often so if the noise bothers you keep it in mind.

Amazing Staff

Stayed here for two nights due to truck issues. Lucked out with a pull through full hook up. The staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating. Facilities were very clean and well taken care of.

It is right next to the train track (which runs 24 hours) and they did warn us about it. We didn’t mind but if you’re a light sleeper may want to look elsewhere

Great little hidden gem.

This KOA has been on my radar for some time now, we’ve been looking for a getaway close to home that during our busy season we can get away for the weekend, and be able to run home and take care of business and jet back to camp. It fit all the bills and more. Staff is super friendly and the park is clean and well kept.

Super kid friendly

This place is super kid friendly, as-in, there's kids running absolutely everywhere. Pool and playground were fine, too.

Bring your bike for riding around and you can also head into the nearby little town for plenty of good food and ice cream.

A decent amount of trees. Spots are a medium distance apart. Definitely not much privacy, but also not a parking lot on top of each other. Overall a decent place to stay for a night or two as a base camp.

Awesome area

My family and I stayed here when we were visiting the mount Hood area. This was a great little campground with lots of trees and not too many people. There were a ton of amenities at this campground, like wifi, bike rentals, a play ground for the kids. We didn't spend a ton of time here, because we were always out hiking and exploring, but the time we spent was super nice and relaxing. There was a pool and lots of activities set up by the camp.

So many great hikes in the area too. Definitely check out Tom, Dick, and Harry Trail. It had great views of the mountain. There's also a ton of great waterfall hikes in the area, like Ramona falls and Tamanawas Falls.

We had a great time at the campground and in the area in general. Hood mountain was a beautiful place!

Beautiful camp to test the waters to see if camping is for you

This camp has RV sites, tent sites and beautiful cabins with porch swings and is located close to the Columbia River waterfalls.

Little luxuries include a camp store where we picked up bacon and eggs, an outdoor pool with hot tub, bathrooms with showers, “wood” ceramic floors and halo lighted mirrors plus facilities with washer/dryers and an outdoor sink to wash dishes.

Some people might find the train coming through right behind the camp several times a day and night a little annoying but we didn’t mind. We realized that the train blew 2 long, 1 short and 1 long whistle right before it reached the camp which is a warning (we googled it) that a train is coming through with engine in front and for cars/people to clear the track....the things you learn when you camp🚂

Nice park, just noisy

A typical KOA, with a store, cabins, deluxe cabins, tent sites and RV sites. What they don’t tell you is the freight train runs about every 30 minutes including overnight. The first time was a big surprise, but we got used to it.

The facilities were stocked and mostly clean. Unfortunately, campfires were not allowed when we stayed, but it wasn’t their fault. There were also a ton of yellow-jacket bees, but they worked hard to control them with effective traps.

Great if you like trains

This is a nice little campground. I am writing as a person who camps in a tent so it may be a little different for RV. This campground is very close to a railroad that is used a lot. No matter what time of day,or more importantly Night, the trains go by with their horns blaring. At least every 2 hours at night. Very difficult to get a good nights sleep. An RV might be quieter but as the blaring horn is so loud I can't believe anyone could miss it. We had a great tent site and the place was pretty busy, so maybe a lot of people don't mind the blaring horns but I found them very annoying. Also tent sites have to walk a fair ways to get water, not a real big deal but a closer spigot for the tent sites might be nice.
