“RV Sites Not Up To SP Standards”

The RV sites are in a gravel parking lot. The sites are close together, much like you expect from an RV park. You are away from the “green oasis, with no views of river. We were here during a heat wave. There is no shade. So you sit in your RV with the AC on. Is it worth $40? No!

Any camp site available. Im a tent camper and it was a bit of a walk in but flat and green. Bathrooms are very clean. I recommend.

As others have stated, the place is well kept and the hosts are very friendly. Even decent cell signal here. It’s a bit of a green oasis in the middle of an otherwise desert atmosphere and we thought the scenery was just beautiful along the lake. It's close by The Dalles so lots of shopping available for forgotten items or just eating out instead of cooking.
If there was a “maybe” choice for “would I camp here again” I would choose it but we're fairly sensitive to noise and, like much of the gorge (on both sides), there are active train tracks here. When I say active, I mean a train about every hour and that includes all hours of the night. It wouldn't be as bad if they didn't blow their horns right next to the campground when they go by. So if you’re hoping for for birds chirping you’ll get that but you'll also hear planes, trains, and automobiles. Including semi's on the main highway using their jake brakes. If you're not noise sensitive or are just looking for an overnight, we recommend this place.
We were here during a bit of a heat wave so there was almost no wind, but we've heard that it gets quite windy here (as does a lot of the gorge). Bridges were a little bit tight width-wise for our rig - especially the Hood River toll bridge. We found that the Dalles bridge was not only closer but a better fit for us. This was our second attempt at a Gorge campground and we've solidly learned our train lesson. For us, the noise kicked it down 2 stars. Otherwise it would be five all the way.

Take this for what it is. My honest pros and cons:
Pro:
a state park = known entity and safe
Nice grounds. Green with grass. Close to the water
Clean and well kept.
Windy so no mosquitoes!!
Pretty views within a minute walk
Connivence and close to the highway
Cons:
Spots are super close together
Number of spots-12 for vehicles. 3 for tents
Showers broken as of posting date
Cost-32 for our site because???? 27.50 for others because?? (They have electric sites that are more $$)
Train close by. It doesn’t bug us but may other people.
I’d stay here again if I was passing through and didn’t mind the price.

(There, I've done all the work -- you're going to have to figure this one out on your own). For more info, contact http://campeverycountywa.com/klickitat-county.html
