Nice campsites, port-a-potty was clean.Traffic noise was a major distraction. Both highway and trains ran all night. I would imagine if there was heavy wind, it would help with the noise, but there was none when we were there. If traffic noise is not a problem for you, nice campground, otherwise we would not stay here again.

Qaint, rustic, wooded campground in the Gorge! Close to hiking, biking, etc. As stated there is no water or electric hook up. The rest rooms were locked but there were some porta potties. Very close to main Interstate and railroad tracks so there is traffic noise and the train passes several time during the night. The location is good for Moltnomah falls and Hood River trips.

Despite being near highway, very quite and great spaces. A little bummed even though it had been raining and rained most the time there still no fires. Would be great if the could get the W/C up and running and ditch the honey buckets.
