TravelerThe 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.
GuideWe’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.
RangerWe 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.
GuideAug. 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.
RangerTerrible 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.
RangerWe 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.
GuideWe 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.
GuideWhen 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.
GuideWe 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
Columbia River campsites near Umatilla, Oregon range from fully-developed RV parks to scenic waterfront locations, with elevations around 400 feet above sea level. The area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and cold winters, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons. Wind conditions can be significant along the river corridor, influencing campsite selection and outdoor activities.
Water recreation on the Columbia River: Fishhook Park offers direct access to Lake Sacajawea with a boat launch and dock. "Fishing was great off of the docks. The beach would be nice when the water is higher, otherwise it's just muddy," explains one visitor to Fishhook Park. The calm waters near Crow Butte Park are ideal for paddlers, with a camper noting, "The water was super calm, so kayaking was very enjoyable."
Wine tasting: Base yourself at Wine Country RV Park for exploring the region's wineries. "This could be a nice basecamp spot for people who love exploring wineries. The small town of Prosser has almost 30 wineries and tasting rooms in the immediate area and this park is in the midst of them all," shares one reviewer. Another mentions, "Wineries in walking distance a huge plus. Loved Coyote Canyon!"
Historical exploration: Visit the Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area to learn about Oregon Trail history. "Park rangers were so nice. They had informed classes about animals in the forest. The Jr rangers program for the children was wonderful and hands on," writes one Emigrant Springs visitor. The nearby Whitman Mission is "definitely worth checking out" according to a Fishhook Park camper.
Spacious riverside sites: Hood Park campsites feature generous spacing with natural barriers. One camper describes the experience: "Tons of wide green lawns with lots of space, camp sites end up pretty well spaced apart so you might only have 2 or 3 neighbors then a ton of lawn before another neighbor." Another adds that it's "right on the snake river, so you can practically fish from your camp site if you want."
Panoramic river views: Crow Butte Park offers exceptional vantage points from its island location. "Trails over and around the butte provide great vistas of the Columbia River. Campsites are well-spaced (both back-in and pull-through), with electric and non-electric options," notes a visitor. The campground sits on "an island in the Columbia River, connected by a short causeway to the mainland."
Resort amenities: Glamping in Umatilla, Oregon area provides comfort alongside outdoor experiences. At Wildhorse Casino, "Amazing golf course, super friendly staff, great clean pool! Breakfast at the course is awesome, within walking distance and great bang for the buck," reports one guest. Another mentions the "shuttle van" at Wine Country RV Park that helps glampers reach area attractions without driving.
Highway noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience significant traffic noise. At Emigrant Springs, "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." Another camper warns, "This campground is TOO close to the highway and too noisy even with ear plugs or music."
Seasonal challenges: Wind and insects affect camping comfort in certain seasons. "As others have mentioned, the campground can be windy, although the higher numbered sites, roughly 32-50 (toward the butte, away from the mainland) tend to be calmer," advises a visitor to Crow Butte Park. At Fishhook Park, one camper cautions about spring visits: "The trees were in bloom and bugs hatching & swarming, so that was a huge hurdle."
Reservation considerations: Popular sites fill quickly during peak seasons. "Be aware of what campsite you get as we picked spot 27 and were not made aware before hand that you need an escort to your site due to the site facing the opposite way of traffic," warns a Fishhook Park visitor. At Hood Park, another camper advises: "If you are a long rv, be cautious as the reservation line has little knowledge of sites."
Child-friendly amenities: Hood Park offers extensive recreational facilities for children. "There is a playground and interpretive events for kids in the evenings. They even had some movies on the weekends. This area is peaceful and relaxing for families," shares a visitor. Another mentions the "large playground, amphitheater" that enhance the family camping experience.
Swimming opportunities: Several campgrounds offer beach access for families. "Fun little park for the kids and nice little beach for swimming," notes a visitor to Crow Butte Park. At Fishhook Park, "There is a small swimming area but no beach to speak of (grassy and pebbly area)."
Educational programs: Some parks provide ranger-led activities that appeal to children. "The Jr rangers program for the children was wonderful and hands on," shares one visitor to Emigrant Springs State Heritage Area. The park also features "a lit pathway through the woods to the washrooms" which adds safety and adventure for younger campers.
Hookup variations: Electric and water availability differs between campgrounds. At Fishhook Park, "Site 16 is the best but only has power, no water hookups or sewer. None of the site's have sewer hookups. There's a dump station on site though with a black water flush out and also potable water available." At Wildhorse Casino, campers enjoy "full hook ups while you explore the local wineries."
Site selection strategy: RVers recommend specific areas within campgrounds for better experiences. "Premium sites have concrete pads while the lower cost sites are just gravel. The pads are mostly level, but slope upwards in some spots so unhitching can be just a little tricky," advises a Wine Country RV Park visitor. For Crow Butte glamping, one camper recommends sites "32-50 (toward the butte, away from the mainland)" for less wind.
Access considerations: Some campgrounds have specific navigation challenges. "The road is a little twisty but had no issues with my 30 foot trailer," reports a Fishhook Park visitor. At Hood Park, "Flush toilets, real showers. In fairness to this campground, my 3 stars is because we stayed in overflow lot for $14, while real site would have cost us $12 (weekday fee, more on weekend)."
