"It's the perfect spot if you are traveling across Oregon and need a nice place to stop before continuing to another state, or eastern Oregon.
The campground is relatively small."
"Found this place on the map while searching for a place to camp at the Washington/Oregon border."
$24 - $38 / night
"5th wheel traveling with big family and multi age group kids:
I was able to reserve a spot in the B loop last minute to breakdown our trip to the Oregon coast and we were very pleased with our experience"
"Yes, there is highway noise, and some train noise, but there is basically no avoiding either one in the Oregon state parks in the Columbia River Gorge. "
"Cute little campsite just off the highway tucked away next to Horse-thief lake. It is very windy due to its location in the gorge. The lake access and surrounding land is beautiful."
"This was a great location for loads of hikes in the area."
$35 - $80 / night
"The campground itself is quite small, with some sites closer together and not enjoying that much privacy, and others tucked further back with more privacy."
"That’s what led us to Tollbridge, a lightly used campsite 15 miles south of Ukiah on Highway 325."
$40 / night
"Fourteen spaces with full hookups back up to a small creek and surround the city baseball diamond. It's $40 per night, and Maria was so friendly! Came out to greet us when we pulled in."
"The campground surrounds a ball field and city pool. We stayed here for the Gravl Grinder and enjoyed the full hookup. Great location in an historic Oregon town."
$40 - $45 / night
"It was during the major fires in Oregon so most of the time it was socked in by thick/heavy smoke. Like brown fog. Not at all the fault of Peach Beach. "
"Tucked away just across the river and close to towns if you need anything."
"A gloriously tucked away, all-year campground on the confident, adventure-inducing Deschutes River."
"It’s worth the drive down the never ending gravel road. A quiet little oasis on the lower Deschutes surrounded by beautiful rock. 15 or so campsites and was surprised by how big the sites were."
$25 - $60 / night
"Excellent faculties with easy access to amenities. Sat by a campfire pit in the evenings and went to sleep with the sound of the river surrounding us. What more could you ask for."
"It's an hour drive from our house in portland and though you feel like your out in the middle of the woods your only 10 mins from hood river and most of what it has to offer."
"Just a brief stop overnight en route to the Oregon Coast."
"This is along the river bordering WA & OR. There are some nice parks, museums, etc. to explore in the immediate area. The campsite itself is just ok...a little too urban for our tastes."
"Bike-packing Campground Review:
The lower Deschutes River from Pelton Dam to the Columbia River, goes about 100 river miles along the water and was designated an Oregon Scenic Waterway in 1970."

GuideThis is our last stop on an epic 2 week vacation to Yellowstone. The unfortunate thing is that we could only get one night when we booked. If you aren't paying attention, you could miss the park entrance, so be careful about that. We are in a nice pull through site on the river side. About as close to being on the water as you can be from the campground. There are full hook-ups. Our site has no shade. Verizon service is decent. There is an orchard and wine tasting in the area. An interesting spot just up the hill is Stonehenge. The first WWI monument built in America. The views were lovely. If you are not used to trains, this will be a downside as there are active train tracks very close by.
ScoutThis campground is PERFECT for couples to reconnect and recharge! The sites are large, privacy is pretty good and you can walk to lake in a few feet from every site. We hung out at the lake completely alone for DAYS! It does get chilly at night but this is by FAR our favorite campground!
TravelerThe road is a bit more than a gravel road, there are some large rocks and deep ruts to avoid. Campsites 16-21 are all on a larger lake with great swimming and paddling opportunities with site 17 easily being the best site in my opinion. Feels very remote, can be a bit colder due to altitude, but very beautiful and tons of wild huckleberries everywhere! Weren’t able to have fires due to restriction, but it’s a go-to campground for me!
TravelerCampsite has a well maintained dirt road connecting it to the highway, has a beautiful overlook of a creek
ScoutBusy campgrounds, but nice. Variety of sites from small and shaded to open and sunny. Both day use and river access from the camping area were lovely and the water was perfect to cool off after a hot day.
Hosts were helpful. Bathrooms and showers were clean.
TravelerThis place is so beautiful. Right on the river, clean and cell service is great. WiFi works great. Full hook up’s and showers. Great fishing and star gazing and a cute little town a walk away. I will be back.
TravelerAntelpe is literally out in the middle of nowhere. The ghost town on Shiniko is nearby. The stars are absolutely amazing at night. The a-frames are simple, but comfortable and have heat/air conditioning. There is a great place to sit and make coffee and chat with the other campers. There is still some construction being done, and it will even be more fabulous when completed. I stayed here on the tail end of biking the Oregon Outback.
GuideNice convenient RV stop off of highway 97. Immaculate bathrooms. Mountain views of both Mt Hood and Mt Adams.
GuideWe visited again and it was completely full except for one spot where you have to hike in. Not a fan of not having our car right there but it's not so far it's unreachable and if you're really ambitious you can even easily get to the bathroom with a short hike. Other campers were courteous and we never heard anyone else while we were there. The site was super private by the river spacious and beautiful. All around a win for shell rock creek.
