"Found this place on the map while searching for a place to camp at the Washington/Oregon border."
"We usually cross the Columbia River into Washington state at Biggs Junction, Oregon. We don’t want to stay at Maryhill State Park in Washington as we had stayed there before."
$40 - $45 / night
"No fire pits, but all of eastern Washington is doing that these days. Nice little lagoon on the river for kids to swim. Boat launch, lots of wind surfers."
"Tucked away just across the river and close to towns if you need anything."
"This is along the river bordering WA & OR. There are some nice parks, museums, etc. to explore in the immediate area. The campsite itself is just ok...a little too urban for our tastes."
"This State Campground is very close to the highway, so it is very convenient!"
$22 - $35 / night
"Wonderful view of the Columbia River and the Washington side of the river. Easy drive to the Dalles to get anything you might need. Bathrooms are very clean, showers are hot and long."
"June 2021 this campground is full of trees that give shade all around most of the campsites."
"Cute little campsite just off the highway tucked away next to Horse-thief lake. It is very windy due to its location in the gorge. The lake access and surrounding land is beautiful."
"This was a great location for loads of hikes in the area."
"Great little swimming spot steps from our spot. Trains will come every hour and tracks are close to sites. A few wineries within a mile and one about .5 miles from spot."
"Very close to the railroad tracks and there are a lot of trains, mostly during the day. There is also a lot of truck traffic during the day. It doesn’t bother me, but your mileage may vary."
"There is a train track close by and the 84 is also close by. You can stay for free for up to 14 days. We have a generator and a 40’ fifth wheel. We had plenty of parking."
$15 - $35 / night
"The pull-through sites run along the water’s edge, offering water views but smaller pads and tragically, blocking my view. There’s no shade but the breeze kept things cool enough."
"The edge of the pull-through RV spots follows the river and most spots have easy access to the 10-foot rock access to the water. We visited during the last weekend of July and it was HOT!"
"Dog-walking area. Distant traffic noise from I-84. I would stay there again in a heartbeat."
"Nice Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife campground with a dirt boat ramp, seems to serve mostly fishermen. Some sites are right next to the Klickitat River."
"The sites are nicely spread out with lots of surrounding trees, but not so many that you don't get the sunshine in."
ScoutElectrical has been good so far, but the water is dirty and filled with what appears to be iron. It has gone through my filter. So carry some portable water. Trees can fall. Sites are fairly level. Cabins have been boarded off. It's not fair from dispersed campsites. Water hookups are at odd angles inside water meter boxes, so hooking up can be challenging.
GuideBlm land next to the river only 5 spots all with tables and fire pits. Pit toilet across the way. Next to the road way so can be dusty and the trains are on the other side of the river. wildlife abundant and fishing Im told excellent.
ScoutFor a free place to stay it sure beats a parking lot. Lots of trees, large spaces but lots of rain in May. But if coming thr again I would stay here. You can stay up to 14 days. In night two, I got a mouse. Ugh!
TravelerSo far I checked in just today so haven’t explored too much I will update when necessary.
TravelerSuper easy and convenient spot to Camp. We visited in early May, and there were several places to park and camp in the large, open parking lot. The views of Mt Hood from this Sno Park are stunning! Accessible rest rooms as well.
TravelerThere are several places along FR 2730 where you can pull off and camp. The road was very accessible, high clearance not required. We found a large pull off with several established fire pits. It's absolutely perfect for a group campsite. I imagine it will be a busier spot in the summer, but we couldn't find a single other person within miles of us in early May. To get up to the group camp site, you may need higher clearance (most SUVs should be fine) and 4wd/AWD, as there is a short rocky section that might cause some issues for FWD/RWD.
Got a little chilly at night with winds whipping down through the area we were in, but overall very peaceful. You can see Mt Hood from the campsite through the trees, albeit it is decently far away and is subject to the visibility at the time you visit. We were able to see Mt Hood just before sunset, but couldn't see her at all the following morning.
ScoutOne of the most memorable places we've ever camped! The host has amazing stories to go along with this amazing property! (yes, all of those exclamation points are justified!)
Don't come here expecting to be catered to and level concrete pads surrounded by manicured lawns; you'll camp in a chestnut orchard and, if you're open to it, have a fun and unique stay with a pizza oven, knife sharpening station, covered skate ramp, a creek crossing , if you have the guts, and so much more. If the host is there, ask him about his pro bicycle racing lounge.
ScoutVery quiet and clean. Spaces felt private. Awesome locations for Adam’s recreation
