Very nice and secluded... Only critique is not stocked with much of everyday things.. Coffee ect. But loved the yurt!!!
Guide
I recently had the pleasure of staying here and I can’t recommend it highly enough. This campground offers a fantastic range of amenities that made our stay both comfortable and enjoyable. The showers were clean and well-maintained, providing a refreshing end to our days of exploration. The WiFi was reliable, which was perfect for staying connected and planning our next adventures.
The game room was very nice and the pool was a great way to cool off and relax. What truly sets this KOA apart, though, is its friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay.
One thing to note is that a train runs through the area. It can be quite loud, especially at first, but we found that we quickly got used to it and it didn’t detract from our overall experience.
Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. The campground is nestled close to the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge, making it an ideal base for exploring this stunning area. The convenience of being so close to such natural beauty added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip.
If you’re looking for a place that combines great facilities with a prime location and a warm, friendly vibe, this is the perfect choice.

I had high hopes for my visit to Lost Lake, Oregon, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a major letdown. Despite its reputation, this location is far from being accessible for handicapped visitors. The handicapped parking is inconveniently located nowhere near an ADA-accessible lakeside spot. We were forced to camp in the parking lot near a bathroom, which was hardly the experience we were hoping for.
The only positive aspect of our trip was the stunning view of the lake and Mt. Hood, but even that couldn't make up for the numerous shortcomings. The drive and entry cost were simply not worth it, especially considering that most day-use sites are first-come, first-served. By the time we arrived, all the sites that were accessible for someone with disabilities were occupied by individuals who clearly did not require the access.
To make matters worse, the overall organization and management of the site were severely lacking. There was no effort to ensure that handicapped visitors had fair access to the lakeside areas. It felt incredibly unfair and frustrating to see those who didn't need the accessible spots taking them up, leaving us with no options. In summary, if you or someone in your party requires accessible facilities, I strongly advise you to avoid Lost Lake, Oregon. The beautiful scenery cannot compensate for the lack of accessibility and consideration for handicapped visitors. This was a thoroughly disappointing experience that I wouldn't recommend to anyone in need of accessible amenities.
GuideOn our way to Alaska for the SF Bay Area we stopped at several different camping locations along lakes and mountains. The only one we went out of our way to stay at when coming back was Lost Lake Campground. The sites are plenty big, have tables and fire pits. The entire area is amply wooded to provide privacy and the sense of seclusion. The bathrooms were clean and always had TP. There is running water spigots dispersed throughout the camping areas. If I'm ever in the area it will be the 1st place I go.
Scout
Camped at site 5 with an E-Pro 19FD. Sites are back in and have well maintained level sites of crushed gravel. The first time I haven't had to level the trailer side to side. Water and Electrical hookups well maintained. Site is all gravel.
Walking to the Columbia River and viewing the petroglyphs is an enjoyable stroll. Restrooms and Showers are well maintained and clean.
Watch out for the incredible amount of goose poop. There was an area roped off so as not to disturb a nesting Eagle that could be viewed with the naked eye.
If your a fan of trains you are right next to the BNSF tracks.
Best Park Hosts that I have ever meet. Very knowledgeable on local sites and and things to do/visit. They are constantly busy keeping the park in order.
ScoutThe staff is very friendly and helpful! Nice sized area for our trailer with full hook-ups. The area was clean and well maintained with fire pits at each site, but the train was very loud (especially at night).
GuideIt can be super crowded, but this place is a gem. It reminds me of summer camp. There’s a store, rental boats, etc. The pit toilets and lack of running water keep things in perspective. I wish they would cap the number of day users though. Once they all leave, it is really peaceful at night.
Traveler
Pretty amazing State Park, lucked on weather. Trails on either side are both nice cruisers on bikes - green runs, but can make them more work, and the views are sublime.  The park amenities were top-notch, including a nice windbreak. Stars at night were spectacular.
Ranger
This is one of our favorite spots but if you’re needing WiFi or even reception, it’s terrible. Personally I like to disconnect but I was trying to “work from home” for a day and it didn’t work well. Close for fishing, hiking, hunting - and this time of year is mostly hunters. Which works out well because it’s extremely quiet, as most people are in bed early.
Guide
Sweet little campground. Mostly close together, family oriented sites. Early September there was still plenty of water in the reservoir and they were still renting kayaks and boats, which was appreciated given the glorious weather. Moderate Verizon cell signal. Enough to text and receive and send email. Laid-back and friendly place.

GuideWe have stayed at Lost Lake a couple of times now, once in a tent and once in a yurt. The lake is fun for fishing and renting a little boat or canoe to get onto the water. The store has a little of everything, though as you would expect, a little pricey.
Guide
We loved our stay here. We had in my opinion one of the best spots in the campground and the 3 spots around us were completely empty. Easy drive to hikes nearby and the camp store was a good spot to pick up things we forgot. My only complaint was that the bathrooms didn’t have any lights so even during the day you had to use a flashlight to see inside of them. The bathrooms were clean though and I saw someone cleaning them during our stay. Making a reservation was easy on their website and it was nice that they have photos of each of the spots. We will definitely camp here again
Guide
What a beautiful RV park! Large spaces, easy to drive through, 30 and 50 amp, most sites had full hookups with fire pits and picnic tables. There is a park right on the lake, wonderful wildlife viewing, an adult size set of swings just made my day. Took me back to small kid times! Wifi available at the pavilion near the park. Very clean bathrooms. Large dumpsters. and a dump station. We also saw a propane fill station as well. We will definitely be back.
LegendOut of the way, a bit, but that was part of what we enjoyed. Felt far removed from "The City" and the drive was scenic.
Very popular campground. We tent camped at this one. Good tent sites shared in our site.
Clean shower facilities. Boat rentals, Great walk around the lake.
Our site seemed very private in amongst the trees, even though the resort was busy. Would recommend!
ScoutThe park is extremely well maintained. We used what was labeled a “primitive” campsite. Each site is huge and well maintained. There are provided wind breaks and covered picnic tables as well as dedicated fire pits and firewood ready for sale. Be aware of fire season as there are no open flames allowed during certain times of the year. The river was beautiful and flush full of fish and crayfish! We will be making this a regular visit for our outings!
RangerCascade Locks KOA is a perfect base camp for exploring up and down the Columbia Gorge. The tall pine trees made for great shade and a true campground feel.
The only downside was the train which is really out of the park’s control but if you’re in a tent it will be hard to ignore.
After 2 sleepless nights at a State Park, we were planning to cancel our stay and travel inland to escape the trains that ran 24/7 in the Gorge. However, after expressing our concerns to Catherine, KOA staff at the front desk, she worked her magic, moved us to the back of the park where the noise was more buffered. We stayed for spent 6 days to explore Colombia Gorge and Mount Hood. The staff here were on point! The bathrooms very clean! Even better is that their pool and hot tub were operational and highly maintained.
TravelerGreat place that has everything one could want, including some of the most incredible views of mount Adams.
Guide
We camped here with our UMCI Motorcycle Group, and had a great time. Good power sites, even though we were in our Motorcycle tent trailer. Open area sites, but also some with trees. Beautiful areas to explore close by. Saw our first lawnmower races in Wamic, so fun!
LegendStarted our recent road trip with 3 nights at Cottonwood Canyon State Park in the Lone Tree Campground. Best time to be here! So much green and great weather. A bit of rain but plenty of pleasant sunshine! Large sites, generously spaced. Would perhaps prefer the sites around the perimeter but all we’re fine. No hookups. They have cabins as well. There were several possible walks and hikes at varying levels of difficulty. Lots of stars at night. Great area and reservable!

My wife, son, and I stayed at The Klickitat Treehouse for two nights in early March 2022 and had an amazing experience! The treehouse is furnished with 3 queen-sized beds + a couch. It also contains most modern amenities that you would find in a hotel suite, including A/C, 2 heaters (bedroom & bathroom), a wood stove for heating the main area, an indoor shower, a stove, refrigerator, glasses + mugs, board games, plenty of firewood, and much more. In addition, there is an outdoor shower and fire pit available to guests during specific seasons (no outdoor shower in the winter and no fires during fire bans a.k.a. late summer in the PNW). Note, however, that there is no wifi or cell service (this was a plus for me, as I was looking for an "unplugged" experience).
The Treehouse is on private property off of a dirt/gravel road about 15 minutes from downtown White Salmon (AWD not required, but could be useful for rain/snow). We received specific directions ahead of our stay via email that took us directly to the house.
Some other miscellaneous things to note:
There is a tiny home that shares the property and accommodates overnight guests. It's not close to the treehouse, but expect to share some of the common amenities (e.g. deck, firewood, Mt. Adams bench, etc.) if somebody is staying there.
If you're coming from Oregon or want to spend some time in Hood River, there is a $4 toll to cross the bridge. So a round trip across the river will cost you $8 as of 2022.
Everything you need to make meals is in the treehouse, but we explored White Salmon and Hood River for some food. Highlights included White Salmon Baking Co., Everybody's Brewing, Pfriem, Ferment (though there are many more that we would still like to explore!)
The only thing I wish had been provided in advance was fire starters for the wood stove. There were matches, a hatchet, and an instruction manual, but I had to spent quite a bit of time chopping wood to make kindling and meet the wood size specifications of the stove itself.
While the cabin is certainly pricey, it is such a truly unique experience that I would highly recommend for any season. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!
TravelerThis State Park is absolutely a beautiful part of the country. The canyon is steep and unique with the John Day river running right through it. The campground is nestled right near the water and has gorgeous 360 views. The campsites are well kept and have all the amenities for a nice pull in site to camp with either a trailer, van, or tent. The only downside is how windy this canyon can get. The state park definitely took this into consideration and provided each campsite with a wooden wind break for tents. So they make it manageable but be prepared! Heads up, there's no cell service at this campground.
GuideThe office staff was very friendly. Local area has numerous things to do nearby. No kids activities for older kids due to our stay being in April. Game room and pool was closed. The train was pretty noisy and campground right next to houses. No trail to walk on and dog area very small. The playground was run down and very muddy due to the rainy stormy weather with hail. The campground is located right next to houses, no view. Bathrooms were clean. I liked our site compared to other sites there. My biggest disappointment was lack of things for the kids to do with it being a smaller campground and not any area for the kids to play football etc. I expect KOAs to have more activities for the kids.
Traveler
Nice location, great views. The camping places you between the main train tracks and the highway. This is an RV only camping site.
RangerThis is a great little KOA, we got a little site that was out of the way down a path.
