It is great being in on all the action, but the price and "can of sardines" style camping has encouraged us to camp off site.

This was a great alternative to the crazy cost of camping at the gorge. Unfortunately some of the sites, including ours, were a bit torn up and very sandy. It was the middle of wildfire season (high winds) and not much blockage for our poor tent that got destroyed in the wind. For being so close to I-90, it was surprisingly quiet.
