Reservations are available at Cascade Locks KOA from February 20 through October 15, with nightly rates starting at $26 and full hookup sites accommodating RVs up to 75 feet. The campground sits just off Interstate 84 in Cascade Locks, Oregon, with drive-in access making it a practical overnight stop or multi-day base for exploring the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood. Pets are welcome, and the site mix includes pull-throughs, back-ins, tent sites, and cabins.
Tree cover is a consistent feature here. Tall conifers provide solid shade across much of the property, giving sites a forested feel despite the campground's proximity to the highway and surrounding residential area. Reviewers describe a medium distance between sites, not isolated but not stacked on top of each other either. Corinna B. puts it plainly: "A decent amount of trees." Campers exploring campgrounds near Cascade Locks will find this KOA among the more amenity-rich options in the area, with a pool, hot tub, game room, camp store, playground, and laundry facilities on site. WiFi is available, though a few reviewers found it inconsistent.
The single most-mentioned factor across reviews is train noise. A freight rail line runs along the back of the campground and operates around the clock, with horns sounding at regular intervals through the night. Tent campers report finding it disruptive; RV campers and those in the center of the park tend to adjust more easily. Staff have moved guests to more buffered sites when asked, which is worth knowing before arrival. Cell service draws a few mentions as unreliable depending on site location.
Day trips from here reach the Historic Columbia River Highway waterfalls, Mount Hood trails including Tom, Dick, and Harry Mountain, and the town of Cascade Locks itself, which has restaurants and a brewery within walking distance. Nearby alternatives include Herman Creek Horse Camp and Herman Creek Campground to the east for those seeking a quieter, more primitive setting. Campers who can work around the train schedule will find the facilities well-maintained and the staff consistently responsive.
Description
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.
