This is a great little campground accessible by public transit or car. It's best for car camping or RVs, but there are plenty of tent campers too. No trees for hammock campers.

The river views make up for this not being a very woodsy campground. So does the adjacent park with a playground and plenty of room for kids to run loose.

For the adults, Thunder Island Brewing is right there with delicious brews and sandwiches.

Just up above the campground is the main road through Cascade Locks. That means you are within walking distance of Bridge of the Gods (and this the PCT) as well as an ice cream shop, the Gorge Express stop if you want to pop down to Multnomah Falls or up to Hood River.
