Gorge Base Camp

P.H.

When I booked my online reservation, I was very excited. The reservation was easy to book, and the view looked spectacular from the photos. When I arrived, it was a spectacular view and check in was seamless. The bathrooms and showers are clean, and the park itself is very nice. My only complaint.... the constant freight trains that go by the campground. During the day, it is no big deal. At night, when you're trying to sleep, it is a nuisance and almost impossible to sleep.

Good location, clean bathrooms, nice view to the Columbia River. We enjoyed a glass of wine while the sun was setting. The train tracks are very close, but it's actually quite fun watching the trains. At night it can be disturbing if you are a light sleeper like myself.

Very clean and well taken care of sites. Laundry room is clean and clothes came out smelling clean and fresh! Bathrooms are large and clean. Showers are not recommended- water sprays out a tiny amount from the shower head and not very warm. Too bad because they are just so nice otherwise- nicely laid out with two handicapped and two narrow stalls. The lady in the office was friendly, professional, and accommodating. The river front sites take the brunt of the train noise, which occurs several times per night. The pull through sites on each side of the park are quieter. We’ve stayed 3 times, twice in the river front sites and this last time in site 23 (pull through), which was quieter by far. There is a lower level dog walking area which is perfect for getting the dog out. There are also tent sites and lots of extra parking for visitors. This is, imo, a great base, for visiting the area… it is not a destination in itself.
