The Best Camping Near Cheatham Lock and Dam, Oregon

Great place if you don’t mind “Boondocking”right along the banks of the Columbia River. The view of Mt Hood is spectacular! Do a little fishing while watching the tugs/boats go thru the locks at John Day Dam and bird watching. The white pelicans are our favorite!! We stayed here in our 38ft fithwheel several times.

The Cilffs park.

Would love to stay here but it’s day use only now.
