Pleasant stopover
Nice campground, pretty trees and river access. Freeway noise and trains make it a bit noisy, but for a one night travel stop it’s just fine.
Active trains
The first night we stayed at Viento State Park I was unprepared for the very active, incredibly loud trains that ran ALL NIGHT! I was ready to pack up immediately until my family told me that they hadn’t slept that GOOD in forever. They loved the trains. It wasn’t until we spent time walking along the beach, took a few good hikes and bike rides that I started to see the charm in Viento.
There are two campgrounds; one near the water and train tracks, and the other across the interstate that is for tents only.
Take your bikes for a great ride along the Historic Columbia River Highway, or your kiteboards to play in the gorge!
All in all, I think this a great camping spot. Just be prepared for the sound of trains!

Loud but overall decent experience
Really loud because of the train and the highway. Not a huge issue for me but not ideal. The train blew its horn a couple times in the middle of the night. The river is close and the gorge is beautiful. Probably would be difficult to swim with the constant high winds. The dirt is really dry and dusty so it gets everywhere.
