Tucker Park Campground
Pretty cool little campground. Multiple sites right on the river, but some might be a bit precarious for some to navigate. Facilities were clean and you can tell the camp hosts care. Recommend for an easy getaway for a couple days.

TravelerEagle Creek Campground
Good
Sites were first come, first serve when I arrived there were most sites open. The bathroom is pit toilet which is clean and has toilet paper stocked, plus a light inside that turns on so you don’t have to pee in the dark. Spots aren’t totally level but they do the trick. There obviously is road noise due to the interstate being right next to the campground. Staying here because doing the Eagle creek trail to tunnel falls in the morning so it’s convenient

Nice quiet campground
Camp host is very nice and helpful, gave brief history of the camp!
Opossum D.TravelerTrillium Lake
Very pretty
$30 per night, you gotta check out by noon and they wont let you in till noon. Very nice people and helpful though. Lake views all around and lots of picnic tables everywhere. Pretty clean toilets, though a little stinky lol. Very busy, but the actual campsite feels alone, decent space between neighbors.

RangerMount Hood National Forest Lost Creek Campground
Quiet, small extremely clean campground !
I happened on this by accident. Where I was going was sold out. I ended up there and was the only occupant. It’s a small oasis in the mt hood national forest. A truly pristine campground. Has water.
I would definitely add this to my go to spot seeking peace. Some are close together. But I am a during the week camper. So it would not matter to me. Definitely recommend it!
Chris J.GuideGifford Pinchot National Forest Dispersed Site
Quiet
Wasn’t bad to get to. Could easy get here in a 2 wheel drive suv. Decent amount of room to set up more than one tent with room for many rigs. You pass a few decent but closer to road sites on the way to this one as a back up. Didn’t see anyone try to come down the road to the site while I was there. No water access in the area. Fire pit was in decent shape. Could use since it’s no fire season.

What to do
Hiking at Lost Lake: Trek the 3-mile loop trail around Lost Lake Resort And Campground for views of Mt. Hood reflecting in the water. "There's a well-stocked general store that's got everything you need. The water is crisp and clear and there is good fishing. If it has a flaw, it's that it's almost too popular, and sometimes the crowds can overwhelm it," notes Brian C.
Fruit Loop touring: Visit local orchards and farm stands on the popular agricultural trail near Hood River, just 20 minutes from Gorge Base Camp RV Park. "We used it as a base for exploring the Mount Hood Fruit Loop area. First, note that the name has changed to Gorge Base Camp RV Park. It is right across the bridge from Hood River," shares Jeremy J.
Petroglyph viewing: Explore ancient rock art at Columbia Hills Historical State Park Campground, where guided tours depart just minutes from campsites. "One of the best aspects was the petroglyphs that were along trails near the campground. This was a great spot and I highly recommend it!" explains Mary C.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Find secluded camping at Black Lake Campground, where sites are arranged on a hillside rather than a traditional grid. "4 camp sites surrounding a small lake. 1 and 2 are private while 3 and 4 are right next to each other. The best campsites are those that are not crowded and you can enjoy the stillness during the day or night," reports Ryan D.
Waterfront access: Cool off during hot summer months at Tucker Park Campground, where river sites provide immediate water access. "We spent two nights at one of the river sites with easy access to the river. The campsite was scattered with smooth rocks perfect for tanning and nice sandy beaches along the river for your fur companions to cool off," says Mackenzie H.
Clean facilities: Many campers appreciate the well-maintained amenities at several campgrounds. "The bathrooms and showers were clean. The park has almost new bathrooms and laundry facilities, it is well maintained and very clean. We will certainly keep this on our list!!" shares David & Sue C. about their stay near White Salmon.
What you should know
Train noise: Several campgrounds along the Columbia River sit near active railroad tracks. "This camp ground is fantastic, sites are very well maintained and level. The campground is very close to the main railroad tracks and trains come by every hour or so at all times of the day. After 3 days you actually become accustomed to the sounds," advises Travis B. at Gorge Base Camp RV Park.
Reservation requirements: Glamping close to White Salmon, Washington requires advance planning, especially for summer stays. "Reservations are hard to get we booked at 6am, six months out and felt very lucky to get three spots for our family Campout," cautions a Trillium Lake camper.
