I have been camping at Gorge Campground for over 50 years and it is still one of my favorite places. It is usually quiet and when it has the right Camp Host, it is very clean.

Keep in mind that the water is very cold and not suitable for swimming. The river is fantastic for fly fishing bird watching and hiking. Please respect the river and those who are enjoying the quiet nature of it.

Thank you

We loved the river. It was a little hot but that's not the campgrounds fault.

Nice campground clean facilities super nice hosts. Unfortunately ODF&W don't think stocking the river for the average angler is a worth while use of sky rocketing licence fee so fishing is non existent and such a pretty stream.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Check out time

12PM

  • Reserved sites must be occupied by checkout time the day after arrival to avoid forfeiture of the reservation.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Utilities

  • Campers must bring their own water supply as there is no water facility available.

Wildlife & food storage

  • Inspect and clean your packs, equipment, and tires to prevent invasive species before using the lake or trails.
