The campground is relatively small."
"Found this place on the map while searching for a place to camp at the Washington/Oregon border."
"This was a great location for loads of hikes in the area."
"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."
$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
"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. "

"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."
"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."
$45 / night

TravelerLove this small campground at the end of the road. Beautiful overlook of the valley, and nice (if undeveloped camp sites). Bugs were a bit rough in June.
TravelerVisited in late June, and the weather was amazing, 15 degrees lower than in town, but the bugs and mosquitoes were overwhelming (even with deet).
Beautiful lake and quiet camp spots.
ScoutBeautiful place, great location, shaded and sites are well spaced but unfortunately the camp host was terrible. On departure day we were at our site 30 minutes after check out, there was no one waiting for our site, but she felt the need to take a video of us packing up. She did not utter a word to us just started recording. The site was immaculate when we left (as it should be) but she still decided to call the police and make up lies about us vandalizing the restrooms. She should probably choose a new job if she’s so miserable.. there are more adult ways to handle situations like maybeee having a conversation? Very weird, I have never experienced anything like it. If you have a blond 40 year old woman for a host be sure to be on your tippy top best behavior. Hope your life becomes more joyful, lady.
ScoutAmazing little place with the nicest people. Clean and comfortable restrooms/showers. Beautiful night sky. 10/10 recommend. Adorable tiny town. Maybe our favorite campground of our whole trip.
GuideI didn’t really plan on staying here but it was getting late and I was passing through. The park host was very accommodating he let me pay $12 to stay in one of the parking spaces cause I was just car camping. The actual camping spots though are just basically parking lot spaces lol and a wind breaker and picnic table. But the area is clean and scenic, it is very windy though. Theres a boat launch and petroglyphs a walk away. Free showers was the highlight for me! I really needed one after dispersed camping. We also hiked horsethief butte it was easy and a chill hike scenic views of Mt. hood, the butte, the water, and overlook of the campground.
ScoutThis campground has a unique history. Ask the (current) host. She's happy to tell you what's she's found out. Since the site is nearly 100 years old, its off limits for large RVs. I, personal wouldn't bring in much larger then a long van, BUT, there are a few sites that will accommodate an 18ish foot trailer and its short tow vehicle (short bed truck or SUV. (LOTS of trees, narrow road.) I advise you to walk it first, if you question it in your head. Its not a huge camp) With that said, it has clean pit toilets and a shared pump spigot. Fire rings and tables in all sites. A tranquil Brooke runs through its left side (as you pull in) If youre an overnight and she can find room, you'll have a spot for the night. $25 @ the time of this review. Please note that I only explored the loop I was in.
TravelerEasily accessible from the interstate, but you will hear a fair bit of road noise. No showers/running water that I saw. Despite being half full on a Thursday in June, no one was making much noise. Watch out for poison oak. If you just need a spot to get off the road for the night, this is pretty good.
GuideWyeth is a very nice national campground. It’s well maintained, has flushing toilets, and has great access to hiking and biking trails. It also has some cool history noted on signs throughout the campground. We had two young kids with us and enjoyed walking to the waterfall.
It’s definitely best for smaller rigs and tents. We have a short bed truck and a 22’ trailer and had a very hard time getting into the spot we reserved (site 8). The site itself had plenty of room for us but the roads are very narrow and are lined with curbs, so there’s not a lot of room to back into the sites. Another camper offered to trade sites with us, which was very appreciated.
The road noise is pretty loud if you’re in the campground. But once you hike back into the forest, it gets quieter.
4 stars because it’s a nice place but not perfect due to limited spots that can fit our rig, and due to the road noise.
RangerAwesome spot on the river, clean spots, with fire rings and picnic tables. Spots are located all along the BLM road and are marked. Easy access to the river for fishing.
