"It's the perfect spot if you are traveling across Oregon and need a nice place to stop before continuing to another state, or eastern Oregon.
The campground is relatively small."
"Found this place on the map while searching for a place to camp at the Washington/Oregon border."
$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. "
"Tucked away just across the river and close to towns if you need anything."
$13 - $74 / night
"Its also a rattlesnake habitat in Eastern Oregon's high desert biome, within 30 miles or so of The Dalles, a city marking the change in the Columbia River Gorge from high desert to wooded mountainsides"
"I wasn't sure what to expect at this high desert park, but situated deep in a canyon on a once working cattle ranch, this park is poised to become one of Oregon's top state parks."
"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."
$15 - $35 / night
"The pull-through sites run along the water’s edge, offering water views but smaller pads and tragically, blocking my view. There’s no shade but the breeze kept things cool enough."
"The edge of the pull-through RV spots follows the river and most spots have easy access to the 10-foot rock access to the water. We visited during the last weekend of July and it was HOT!"
"There aren't many supply options in town so if you need major groceries, go to The Dalles, propane go to Wasco, gas go to Biggs or the Dalles.....you get the picture. Moro also has a must see museum."
"The surrounding landscapes are ‘stunning’ and the peace and quiet, absolute.
While old, the restrooms and showers were very well maintained and absolutely immaculate."
"Dog-walking area. Distant traffic noise from I-84. I would stay there again in a heartbeat."
"Bike-packing Campground Review:
The lower Deschutes River from Pelton Dam to the Columbia River, goes about 100 river miles along the water and was designated an Oregon Scenic Waterway in 1970."

"There is a train track close by and the 84 is also close by. You can stay for free for up to 14 days. We have a generator and a 40’ fifth wheel. We had plenty of parking."
GuideWe stayed here three nights and had a wonderful time. We were able to back in and view the Columbia river from our dinette window.
TravelerJust a brief stop overnight en route to the Oregon Coast. Pulled in around 10:30pm, had a little difficulty finding the park entrance and had to turn around about 1/2 mile down the wrong road, but smooth sailing after. Read signs posted carefully, as there is another RV park close by. Pull through sites posed no challenge in the dark.
We didn’t hear the trains once we went to sleep, certainly not loud enough to disturb our rest. Our youngest slept in until 9:30!!
Grassy areas were nice and green, our daughter was thrilled in the morning to find a volleyball net just a few feet from our door. Our oldest walked down to the river, said it was a rocky beach with no sand and too windy to try to fish, but easy access to the river itself. We stopped at a nice fruit stand in the morning before hopping back on the freeway.
Park was clean. No complaints from us, we’d stop here again.
TravelerWe stopped for a picnic lunch as we were passing through with our camper, but we didn’t stay over night.
When we drove through the camp loop, the sites looked a little on the small side, but clean and with good tree coverage for shade and wind break. We have a 36’ bumper pull, and hubby said he wouldn’t have had problems parking there.
The first day use area had a little play structure, the river access day use area was large enough for a handful of vehicles and our combined 58’ of truck and camper. There were multiple picnic tables along the path to the river, and along the water access itself and the bathroom in this area was clean, according to our teenager. We enjoyed watching the wind surfers, and wading in the river as we ate our lunch and allowed the kids to exert some energy.
We’re keeping this park in mind for our next trip through the corridor!
GuideWe stopped here because it appeared to be one of the only shading places in the area. This park is full of trees, while the island and surrounding area is dry and barren. The price for full hook ups was only $40. The wind whips in this area, but the trees provide shade and a wind block. There is a nice marina, boat launch and kids park area. There were lots of rigs with boats there.
GuideThis campground is right on the river which provides a peaceful and scenic atmosphere. There are showers with hot water and good pressure. Host was friendly. The major downfall was that our camp was infested with flies and earwigs which did not provide a good experience. Train does come by often but I knew that before. We stayed in the T loop in our truck camper, no hookups in this loop. But they have them in the A loop.
GuideOne of my all time favorite places to visit. warm days cool nights and the river ever flowing outside your rig. Only a few spaces so not over crowed. Pit toilet near by. No potable water. Sometimes the winds can be a bit high so secure your tied downs.
GuideNice campground, sites are close to each other, facilities were clean, you will hear lots of traffic noise and the train tracks are below the campground very loud.
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.
TravelerSo far I checked in just today so haven’t explored too much I will update when necessary.
