Nice campground but your typical "parking lot" campground. Restroom in rough shape but it did have showers. Good eagle and bird watching.

For most travelers, this is a stopover park on their way to another destination. I like to use this park as a refuge from the normal cacophony of urban life. The park is clean, has a very nice swimming area, lush green grass in the picnic area. The pit toilets are large, clean, and well stocked. The park is rather small, but the camping sites are level with water, electricity, Picnic table and a fire ring. There are 8 paved pull through sites big enough for large RV,s. 10 level gravel back in sites for smaller RV's or tents. The RV park is ADA usable but has no showers or flush toilets. (the picnic area/ Boat launch has flush toilets) There is freeway and train noise all day and night which I got used to hearing. For those with Oregon fishing licenses, there is bank fishing for warm water fish. (Blue gill, catfish, small mouth bass, perch). Maryhill Museum and the Stonehenge replica are just across the river off of US 97. Both well worth visiting.
