Best Campgrounds near Dallesport, WA

Peaceful and quiet place to spend the night. Not a lot of solar here. You're in the woods. Lots of big trees and soft pine needles on the ground.

The sites are kind of small, but worked for one night.

Came here for one night. Nice Forest Service campground. Dry camping and pit toilets. (lots of flies in the restroom!)

Small lake. Good for swimming and kayaking. Watching osprey. I walked around the lake, although there really isn't a trail. '

Wonderful views of Mt Hood. No issue getting a site mid-week in August.

Came here on a hot summer day when I wanted to plug in for A/C. This place was perfect. All sites are First come First serve- and I lucked in when someone was pulling out of a river side site. 

Stayed two nights and enjoyed the sound of the river outside by door, cool AC running. The staff is great. It's run by Hood River County.

Forest service campground. First come first serve sites. I've hiked past this campground many times on the Salmon River Trail. No cell signal, but beautiful. 

$26 for dry camping. Pit toilets only. Not sure what campground the others were referencing with hot showers. It's not this place!

Bigger than it looks at first. You can pretty much camp wherever you can drive to. Lots of spots right next to the river. In March the river was pretty swift and the edge sort of steep so we stayed near the boat ramp because we didn’t want our dogs to fall in. I’ve been there in late spring and summer and the river is not nearly as swift. Not very busy when we went. Fire circles made it pretty obvious where “sites” were located.

It's a beautiful place next to the Columbia River. However, there are so many trains passing by. It is very noisy.

This was a very last-minute stop for us & we didn’t look up the reviews first. To mirror what the other reviews have said, the trains run all throughout the night. Because of that, plus the noise from the freeway, I was surprised by the 3-star rating, so gave my rating accordingly. We’ve been on a month-long trip & would not consider this place 3 stars. The location is convenient & the campground is nestled in the trees, but it’s not enough to offset the noise. Speaking of the trains again — we’ve stayed at many campgrounds where trains can be heard, but never like this… We were woken up by blaring train horns at least 8 times in the middle of the night. So if you value sleep at all, I would say there are plenty of other options in the area to choose from

The paramount feature of this campground is the beautiful Mount Adams directly across the lake. The sites are adequate, flat places to pitch a tent or park a small trailer, but the view of Mount Adams is magnificent. However, the lake is marshy and there's not really a good place for swimming. It's quiet and peaceful wilderness camping.

Short walk, or 7 miles in, start on west shoreline trail 528 on the NW parking lot past the day use area. Great mostly flat trail for backpacking or cart camping along the west shoreline of Timothy Lake in the Mt Hood National Forest. Sites are well marked and $10 per night fee. Northwest Forest Parking Pass required for overnight parking.

We didn't camp here, but there's a couple nice campsites near these marshy lakes. Quiet and peaceful but beware the mosquitoes! Great place to fish or just paddle around. The road is pretty rough the last couple miles, not suitable for cars or big rigs or trailers.

Nice area to camp at, vault bathroom close by but there was no toilet paper so bring your own. Does feel like camping in a Parking lot. Trail close by.

I really wanted to give 5 stars, but they have far too many permanent residents, which makes the campground look un-kept. The grounds were ok, bathrooms were clean, price was fair, large spaces , and very good customer service.

Maybe if you’re in a pinch this place would work for the night but definitely not somewhere I’d stay longer than that.

It was a 10pm arrival but thankfully we found a spot that did not disappoint. I wish we had a full weekend to stay but the overnight and breakfast on the river was a great start to our PNW visit.

First time here, not particularly enamored with the campground for several reasons. 

Nestled in the trees and between Hwy 84 and the Union Pacific Railroad, both are busy and can be heard all day and night. 

No dump station anywhere in this campground, you can dump and either campground to the west or the east but not convenient. 

Spaces are tight and we would not have been able to get into our spot if the person across from us did not kindly move her vehicle. Our rig is not that large, at 26'. 

The good is the river which is an easy walk or e-bike ride. Lots of trails to ride but they say no e-scooters but okay for e-bikes. This was not enforced since my brother and sister in law rode their scooters all over the place. 

RV camping is separated from the tent camping which would make it nice for tent campers. 

Fun to ride the paved trails, go to the Columbia River and watch the sail boarders doing their thing.

Showed up here during the evening after a long day on the road and if I wasn’t so tired I would’ve kept going. There’s someone that obviously lives here in their RV with a lot of “stuff” scattered about.
