"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."
$22 - $35 / 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"
"Memaloose is a popular busy Oregon State Park with a compact layout and close together, less than private sites. Not our ideal campground. "
"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."
"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."
$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."
$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."

TravelerFairly quiet even on a holiday weekend. There aren't a ton of sites, and i didn't see anybody in the tent only areas. Minimal day use traffic. Clean toilets. Water available. Just not a ton of privacy between sites. Our site 007 would actually make a good double site with the one next to it (I think 008) even though on the map site 7 seems off on it's own. There is a little walking trail that goes past the creek and was perfect since my dog was injured and we couldn't do much more than that (but there are other trails nearby). Seems ADA friendly.
The info says to buy firewood from the host, but we never saw a host.
TravelerJust a brief stop overnight en route to the Oregon Coast. Pulled in around 10:30pm, had a little difficulty finding the park entrance and had to turn around about 1/2 mile down the wrong road, but smooth sailing after. Read signs posted carefully, as there is another RV park close by. Pull through sites posed no challenge in the dark.
We didn’t hear the trains once we went to sleep, certainly not loud enough to disturb our rest. Our youngest slept in until 9:30!!
Grassy areas were nice and green, our daughter was thrilled in the morning to find a volleyball net just a few feet from our door. Our oldest walked down to the river, said it was a rocky beach with no sand and too windy to try to fish, but easy access to the river itself. We stopped at a nice fruit stand in the morning before hopping back on the freeway.
Park was clean. No complaints from us, we’d stop here again.
TravelerWe stopped for a picnic lunch as we were passing through with our camper, but we didn’t stay over night.
When we drove through the camp loop, the sites looked a little on the small side, but clean and with good tree coverage for shade and wind break. We have a 36’ bumper pull, and hubby said he wouldn’t have had problems parking there.
The first day use area had a little play structure, the river access day use area was large enough for a handful of vehicles and our combined 58’ of truck and camper. There were multiple picnic tables along the path to the river, and along the water access itself and the bathroom in this area was clean, according to our teenager. We enjoyed watching the wind surfers, and wading in the river as we ate our lunch and allowed the kids to exert some energy.
We’re keeping this park in mind for our next trip through the corridor!
ScoutGreat spot on the lake with space for 2 smallish tents. Quiet, low mosquitos (early June) and a fire pit. What more could you ask for?
GuideAt the top of a mountain with gorgeous views of Mt. Hood and all the other mountains and valleys below.
ScoutLots of open camping spots that you can drive into without even leaving asphalt. Short distance from Timothy lake. There are established fire rings and some debris from other campers. We had no neighbors on a busy weekend in June though. Would recommend for any trying to camp next to their car without reservations.
TravelerAbsolutely amazing lake. Lots of hiking trails near by. Fishing and boating are a must if you can get out here. Beautiful place
GuideThis campground is right on the river which provides a peaceful and scenic atmosphere. There are showers with hot water and good pressure. Host was friendly. The major downfall was that our camp was infested with flies and earwigs which did not provide a good experience. Train does come by often but I knew that before. We stayed in the T loop in our truck camper, no hookups in this loop. But they have them in the A loop.
GuideWe ended up staying here overnight before we hiked the waterfall loop the next morning. No one said anything even though it’s for day use only. In total our camper was parked here for 15+ hrs. It’s noisy with the freeway and train close by.
