    Welcome to Lone Tree Campground in Cottonwood Canyon State Park, nestled near the charming town of Wasco, Oregon. This spot is a gem for anyone looking to escape into nature without sacrificing comfort. The campground is beautifully maintained and offers a range of accommodations, including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and even glamping options.

    One of the standout features here is the windbreaks provided at each campsite, which are a lifesaver given the canyon's notorious winds. The park has thoughtfully included covered picnic tables and dedicated fire pits, making it a cozy spot for evening gatherings. Just remember, during fire season, open flames might be restricted, so plan accordingly.

    The John Day River runs right through the park, offering fantastic opportunities for fishing. The river is teeming with fish and crayfish, making it a hit for anglers. If you're into hiking or biking, the trails here are top-notch. They range from easy green runs to more challenging routes, all with breathtaking views of the canyon and surrounding landscape.

    For those who love stargazing, you're in for a treat. The night skies here are spectacular, free from the light pollution that plagues more urban areas. It's a perfect spot to lay back and take in the cosmos.

    The campground also boasts clean facilities, including bathrooms and showers, which visitors have praised for their cleanliness. And if you're looking to truly unplug, you'll be pleased to know there's no cell service here. It's a great way to disconnect and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area.

    So pack your bags, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to enjoy all that Lone Tree Campground has to offer. Whether you're here for the fishing, the trails, or just some peace and quiet, this place has got you covered.

    The stars seem to shine brighter at this campground on the east end of the Columbia River Gorge, 11 miles west of The Dalles. Campsites look over the river and the park’s namesake, Memaloose Island, a place sacred to the indigenous people of the Columbia River Gorge. They would lay the bones of their dead on open pyres on the island.

    Also buried there is an early settler and town promoter of The Dalles, Senator Victor Trevitt. A granite monument visible from Memaloose campground marks his grave.

    Today, the park is a gateway to exploring The Dalles and the east end of the Gorge. Visitors will enjoy spring wildflowers and the cooling shade of the maple, willow and cottonwood trees. On summer nights, the park’s grassy meadows are the perfect spot to observe the nightly celestial performance.
