Quick free night

Pulled the RV 10 feet from the Colombia River with a great view of Mt. Hood. There is an outhouse, but we don't need it. Very thin area to camp, but hardly anyone here on a Friday night (mid June). Train tracks right behind us, which is great if you are a train enthusiast. We will have to see if any trains come through in the middle of the night. So far this evening two freight trains and one passenger train (it's 8:30 pm)

FYI. The trains come through about 2 every hour...all night long.

Beautiful overnight spot

If you stay here beware the trains will wake you up. They blare their horns just a few hundred feet away. But the location it Fantastic with so much to do nearby including a small winery just above the campsite. There are bathrooms, no trash. It’s open for overnight camping from April to October for a 7 day maximum stay . It’s a day use only area the rest of the year.
