The campground was clean and nice, and the setting could be great, but I have to disagree with the reviews that state the trains are "not too bad." The train bridge over the river is about 200 yards away from Loop A, and throughout the night, at least every hour, a train would go over the bridge with its horn blowing for 10-15 seconds, sometime much longer. I had to peel myself off the ceiling all through the night. That, and the guy in the tent about 4 or 5 spots over was playing his stereo loud enough that I could hear it quite clearly while inside my motorhome until well after midnight. I will not go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have to agree with the last review, this is an oasis in the desert. Nice mature shade trees to relax under, many sites are right on the river. There are a couple hiking trails in the park. This was a nice place to stay to explore the Columbia River Gorge area. The trains are a little annoying at times but I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Rate is for water and electric sight near the restrooms. All other sights are dry camp only and are $8 per night, no flush toilets for them, no showers at all and no dump available anywhere in the camp or area. Nice park, oasis in the desert. Right on the Deschutes river for easy fishing access. You get to listen to the trains go by at night (day too) but they are not all that bothersome. We would stay here again, great access for steelhead and salmon fishing in the late summer and fall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
