A visitor commented, "Not my normal camping scene, but decided for an early summer ski session with the kids, we didn't want to completely rough it, but also didn't want to pay hotel prices. So, one of the standard cabins here was the perfect compromise."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations - The Klickitat Treehouse provides a full kitchen with stove and refrigerator, while more basic cabins may only offer outdoor cooking options at fire pits.

Non motorized lake. Canoe, paddle board and boat rentals available and I highly recommend."

TravelerStayed in 28 S, was level for our 20 ft class B. Paid $12.50 per night with our senior pass.
We hiked the ski trail loop from the group camp that goes by the natural bridges, probably around a couple of miles, well marked it was probably an old logging road. saturday night the campground was almost full but Sunday night just a few camps. Water spigot was close to campsite. A lot of trees that have fallen over in the campground that would be nice to have cleaned up. Overall a great place to stay.
Stayed on August 29th and 30th 2026.
TravelerGreat spot for an uncrowded camping experience. Road noise on spots 1 through 10, but nice views of the river. Lower campsites - less view but less hwy noise - potentially more train traffic but not noticeable on our visit.
TravelerThe description and reviews do match this site. This is a large swap lake with dispersed camping. It was a fun adventure getting to site but be warned this is not a RV or car site, you will need a 4x4 to access the site.
GuideWe really enjoyed our one night here during our Oregon trip. We stayed in a cabin for this campsite, which we booked on reservation.gov, thankfully the check-in was smooth and code operated. The site featured potable water, a sink water drain, and water access with a boat dock and picnic tables alongside the lake a short walking distance from sites. The camp hosts (an older gentleman and his wife) are very kind and sold me fire wood in the evening (like $7). They both care very much about the site which becomes very apparent with their patrols, the way they greet you, explain the rules, and most noticibly when you go into the vault toilets of which are the cleanest I have ever seen and the best smelling. Unfortunately, we do not live in Oregon, so I can't say that I will be back this year, but if I did, I would surely revisit before the end of season.
TravelerMy kind of camping. Amenities plus space between campsites. Everything is clean as well
TravelerI cannot say enough good things about Elk Meadows. The park is laid out very well and the sites were deep and very private. We had site 50 and had no trouble getting our 36' class A in and out of the site. The view out our window was beyond description, absolutely gorgeous. Drinking coffee in the morning, looking at that view and listening to the Sand Hill Cranes was absolute heaven.
GuideI went to lost lake a long time ago. And I e noticed that they have done quite a bit of an upgrade at lost lake. The last time I was there they only had shop and the boat rentals and the camp sites lol. But me and my family loved it. Now I hear that it is a beautiful Resort and they have a lot more things or should I say activities to do besides just camping. And wow that is one of my goals sometime this year is to go back and enjoy there new renovations. So I really recommend everyone to go and take your entire family to lost lake resort. I hear that it will be worth your time and money. Enjoy my brothers and sisters and Godbless you all.
GuideThis is a nice campground, lots of trees, clean restrooms. We visited Mt Hood and got snow. We also did the Historic Highway 30 and saw all the waterfalls. Stop in at Gorges Brewery, nice beer, I loved the Stout. The staff at the campground were so helpful, letting us know the “must sees”, I would stay again. If you don’t like train sounds, you will need to find a place away from the river.
Cabin camping near The Dalles offers access to both the arid eastern Oregon landscape and the wooded slopes of nearby Mount Hood. Located at the eastern edge of the Columbia River Gorge, this region experiences dramatic seasonal temperature changes with summer highs regularly reaching 90°F and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing. Tent and cabin campers should prepare for strong winds, particularly along the Columbia River where gusts frequently exceed 25 mph.
Fishing opportunities: Clear Lake Campground provides access to cold, clear waters popular with anglers. "Great fishing. They have a little restaurant where you can rent boats. Bathrooms are nice as well," notes a visitor to Clear Lake Campground. Water levels can fluctuate seasonally, affecting fishing conditions.
Hiking to petroglyphs: Columbia Hills Historical State Park features ancient rock art within walking distance of camp. A visitor explains, "There's also archaeological sites with artifacts and pictographs within walking distance of the campground. There was a small kayak/canoe rental place that is run by the super friendly camp host." The petroglyphs tour leaves just a 3-minute walk from the campsite at Columbia Hills Historical State Park Campground.
Water recreation: Multiple cabin locations offer water access for paddling and swimming. "The lake was perfect for all the splashing and playing that we wanted to do," reports a camper at Clear Lake. Boat rentals are available seasonally at several locations, though water temperature remains cold year-round.
Cabin variety: Options range from basic structures to fully equipped retreats. "We stayed in one of the cabins very nice camp can purchase breakfast," shares a visitor at Cascade Locks KOA, which offers cabin accommodations with porch swings near Columbia River waterfalls.
Stargazing: The clear desert air provides excellent night sky viewing. At Lone Tree Campground, a camper notes, "At night it is incredibly dark. This was the best part! You can almost forget that there is an RV 5' away. Open sky and the stars are beautiful!"
Private camping spots: Many locations offer secluded sites despite developed surroundings. "D022 was very secluded. Could fit at least 2 tents," explains a visitor to Lost Lake Resort And Campground. The campsites at many locations are tucked among trees for additional privacy.
Train noise: Some campgrounds experience frequent train traffic. A Cascade Locks KOA visitor warns, "What they don't tell you is the freight train runs about every 30 minutes including overnight. The first time was a big surprise, but we got used to it."
Wind conditions: Expect strong, consistent winds throughout the Columbia River area. A visitor to Columbia Hills notes, "The unrelenting Gorge wind is something to be prepared for!" Wind speeds regularly reach 29 mph during certain seasons.
Cell service limitations: Many cabin locations have limited or no connectivity. A Lost Lake camper shares, "There's no Wi-Fi, Verizon was there but I don't know where. Not at the site. But as we walked around the phone would connect in my pocket." Prepare for disconnected stays at most cabin locations.
Playground access: Some cabin campgrounds include dedicated play areas. At Mt Hood Village Resort, a visitor reports, "This was a good family camping spot. Pros - there is a playground, swimming pool, small store, cafe, bathrooms with showers (and warm water) and activities during the day for kids."
Wildlife awareness: Educate children about local wildlife including rattlesnakes. A Lone Tree camper explains, "It's also a rattlesnake habitat in Eastern Oregon's high desert biome, within 30 miles or so of The Dalles." Keep children on established paths and use flashlights after dark.
Bathroom proximity: Consider cabin location relative to restroom facilities. One Mt Hood Village visitor notes, "If you're tent camping the bathrooms are quite the hike, the tent sites are crammed together, there's only one working faucet in the entire tent camping area."
Limited access roads: Some cabin areas have restrictions on RV traffic. At Lost Lake Resort, a visitor warns, "DO NOT DRIVE YOUR RV DOWN TO THE STORE. Park at your site or somewhere near it and walk to the store. Not great for large equipment."
Full hookup availability: Specific sections at certain campgrounds provide complete services. An Mt Hood Village guest explains, "The full hook up sites are in old growth timber giving each site a feeling is seclusion. The lodge, pool, hot tub and saunas are in good condition."
Advance fuel planning: Remote cabin locations may have limited service access. A Clear Lake visitor advises, "Have a full tank of gas there is no service and closest gas station is far away and closes at night." Plan accordingly when traveling to more remote cabin sites.
