The campground is relatively small."
"Found this place on the map while searching for a place to camp at the Washington/Oregon border."

$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."
$40 - $45 / night

"That’s what led us to Tollbridge, a lightly used campsite 15 miles south of Ukiah on Highway 325."
"Great little swimming spot steps from our spot. Trains will come every hour and tracks are close to sites. A few wineries within a mile and one about .5 miles from spot."
"Very close to the railroad tracks and there are a lot of trains, mostly during the day. There is also a lot of truck traffic during the day. It doesn’t bother me, but your mileage may vary."
"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."
"This State Campground is very close to the highway, so it is very convenient!"
$45 / night

"If you stick close to the entrance side then you will have some good spots and not too many neighbors."
"Located on the Klickatat river. Only downfall are the sqauters."
ScoutElectrical has been good so far, but the water is dirty and filled with what appears to be iron. It has gone through my filter. So carry some portable water. Trees can fall. Sites are fairly level. Cabins have been boarded off. It's not fair from dispersed campsites. Water hookups are at odd angles inside water meter boxes, so hooking up can be challenging.
GuideBlm land next to the river only 5 spots all with tables and fire pits. Pit toilet across the way. Next to the road way so can be dusty and the trains are on the other side of the river. wildlife abundant and fishing Im told excellent.
ScoutFor a free place to stay it sure beats a parking lot. Lots of trees, large spaces but lots of rain in May. But if coming thr again I would stay here. You can stay up to 14 days. In night two, I got a mouse. Ugh!
TravelerSo far I checked in just today so haven’t explored too much I will update when necessary.
TravelerSuper easy and convenient spot to Camp. We visited in early May, and there were several places to park and camp in the large, open parking lot. The views of Mt Hood from this Sno Park are stunning! Accessible rest rooms as well.
TravelerThere are several places along FR 2730 where you can pull off and camp. The road was very accessible, high clearance not required. We found a large pull off with several established fire pits. It's absolutely perfect for a group campsite. I imagine it will be a busier spot in the summer, but we couldn't find a single other person within miles of us in early May. To get up to the group camp site, you may need higher clearance (most SUVs should be fine) and 4wd/AWD, as there is a short rocky section that might cause some issues for FWD/RWD.
Got a little chilly at night with winds whipping down through the area we were in, but overall very peaceful. You can see Mt Hood from the campsite through the trees, albeit it is decently far away and is subject to the visibility at the time you visit. We were able to see Mt Hood just before sunset, but couldn't see her at all the following morning.
ScoutOne of the most memorable places we've ever camped! The host has amazing stories to go along with this amazing property! (yes, all of those exclamation points are justified!)
Don't come here expecting to be catered to and level concrete pads surrounded by manicured lawns; you'll camp in a chestnut orchard and, if you're open to it, have a fun and unique stay with a pizza oven, knife sharpening station, covered skate ramp, a creek crossing , if you have the guts, and so much more. If the host is there, ask him about his pro bicycle racing lounge.
ScoutVery quiet and clean. Spaces felt private. Awesome locations for Adam’s recreation
