We drove around looking but couldn't find the spot. There's a Trailhead nearby but unclear if you have to go through the Trailhead to access the spots.

Fantastic spot
This was my first dispersed camp ever and it did not disappoint. Quiet, clean, sound of the creek, partial shade…it’s pretty great!!
Diane S.ScoutGee Creek Rest Area I-5
South Bound Gee Creek Rest Area
There are two Gee Cr rest areas, one on northbound and one on southbound lanes of I-5.
Southbound dump station is newish, easy access, wide lanes, water and dump easy to get to, pretty clean. Now that they've excluded homeless camping, its alot more comfortable to be around

Corrupt
Luke the park host is extremely unprofessional and rude. He also hires on sketchy people to do the maintenance for the park, be sure to keep your kids close. The park will also kick you out same day for leaving a negative review. This park is corrupt and dirty and I highly recommend not staying here.
AdamcalgaryScoutColumbia River RV Park
Stunning Location, But Recent Changes Raise Concer
This park offers one of the best riverfront locations in the region, with spectacular views of passing ships and beautiful sunsets right from your campsite. The facilities consistently earn high marks, showers and bathrooms are clean, well-stocked, and well-maintained, and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. However, recent reviews reveal significant changes: a new gravel processing plant has opened next door, bringing periodic loud noise and truck traffic throughout the night. The landscape is mostly gravel with minimal greenery, and some sites feel tight with limited privacy. The beach area has drawn complaints about litter and driftwood, making it less inviting for families. At$85–$100 per night, many longtime visitors feel the value has diminished and are choosing to look elsewhere. Bottom calgaryprayertimes.com line: if you snag a riverfront site and don't mind industrial noise, it's still lovely, but manage expectations accordingly.

Peaceful Riverside Camping with Clean Facilities and Scenic Trails
I recently stayed at Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground and honestly, it turned out to be one of the most relaxing camping trips I’ve had in a long time. The place has a beautiful natural setting with wide open fields, river views, and peaceful walking trails that make it easy to unplug and slow down. The overall rating is about 4.5 out of 5 from 70 reviews, which felt accurate after my stay. What really stood out to me was how clean and well-maintained everything was. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, and the grounds felt thoughtfully laid out with plenty of space between many sites. Several campers mentioned that Loop B offers more privacy than Loop A, and I’d definitely agree if you’re someone who likes a bit of distance from neighbors.

Nice office staff, and clean facilities including laundry, clubhouse, group kitchen area and free wi-fi. Grass in-between most spots, with some back-in sites and others being pull-through.
