Sweet but loud
The road noise is extreme; very loud. If you can get past that the place is really sweet. The sites have water fire pit and picnic table and lots of trees for privacy. The water in the shower was hot the bathrooms are clean there's a nice trail system behind the campground. a convenient stop on the way into Portland. Minimal bugs.

Relaxing and excellent
We’ve always enjoyed this area my entire life. First time here RVing. Amazing golf course, super friendly staff, great clean pool! Breakfast at the course is awesome, within walking distance and great bang for the buck. Did not visit casino, but shuttle is readily available.

Thimbleberries and plenty of room
We stopped for a night in a rustic camping cabin at Emigrant Springs in July of 2015. It was a welcome dose of green after a long day of brown along the interstate through Idaho and western Oregon. The cabin was rustic, the shower house was in good repair with nice hot showers. There seemed to be good space and shade around the sites offering some privacy. Great spot! Take the time to stop in Meacham on the West side of I-84 tomstop at The Oregon Trail Cafe - literally the ONLY store in this teeny town. Wonderful hospitality, the local ‘scoop’ and great breakfast.

Spiders and mosquitoes.
Aug. 28th-30th is space #24. Lots of very large spiders everywhere. Mosquitoes were super bad. Nice fire pits but you can't have fires. Showere were decent. They need to be updated. Lots of green grass and lots of shade. All in all not bad. We will be back. Hopefully with less spiders.

Loudest campground in the state
Terrible tent camping experience. This campground is TOO close to the highway and too noisy even with ear plugs or music. We could barely sleep nor have a conversation while sitting across each other for breakfast. I would advice to only stay here if you have an RV camper. The bathrooms were very clean, great trails and the interpretive center was very educational. No complaints there.

Very nice setting but a little too noisy
We spend a night there in July on our way to Boulder Colorado. The campground is quite nice and bathrooms were clean and providing all needed functionality. Large and tall trees provided a very welcome shade during the heatwave we were going through. The only issue was that, we were tent camping and being close to the highway it was quite noisy.

Great Facilities, but in the middle of a highway
We stayed at a cabin toward the end of the park. The cabins are great and super comfortable and the bathrooms are clean. Saw park staff cleaning and taking out the trash frequently. It is about 10 feet from the highway so loud all day/night. Interesting history but the springs themselves have mostly been paved over by 84. Hiking trails a bit confusing and mostly gas line right of ways. Would recommend if you need a comfortable place to stay on a road trip but not exactly a "camping" getaway.

Hood Park
Family Vacation
We stayed here 2 nights and other than some spiders on our stuff in the morning, and that seems to be only on the sites under the trees, I have zero complaints and will be back next time for a longer stay. The park is very clean and while there are no water hookups they do have filling stations to fill tanks or whatever you use. They also don’t have sewer hookups but do have an on-site dump station for you to empty out. Bathrooms were immaculate and they provided free showers which is a bonus because most places charge for them. Campsites are cozy but spacious and depending on your site you can be right on the Snake River. Beautiful place and had it not been for the alcohol ban it would have got 5 stars

Winter wonderland
When we arrived after dark the 200 ft path to our cabin was cleared and we could easily drag our items stacked on a tarp to our cabin. The cabin does share a wall with another party but it was funny to hear the children laugh and play. It was below zero but the electric heater kept us toasty warm. The bathroom and shower is about 300 ft away if you walk through two feet of snow. We brought a collapsible toilet to have on the covered porch. Drove up to the bathroom when needed. The park ranger spent all day moving snow and keeping the roads through the campground excellent. The bathrooms and showers are always clean. The day we left the park ranger came and moved another foot of snow so we could easily pack out. We brought our instant pot and warmed are already prepared foods. If you don't want things to freeze you got to keep them in your cooler. We brought lots of cozy blankets and could hotspot the computer to watch movies. Make sure you follow trip check for closures of i-84 if camping during snow.
