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.

The campground hosts were wonderful. The toilet facilities were spotless. My only issue with the whole area is that there are no first come first served sites available as there has been in the past. Our neighboring site had a travel trailer but no one was there for 4 nights. My suspicion is that people now rent the sites move in and then setup for various family members to come and go as they please.

We were lucky to camp at the far end of the campground down by the river. What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the area. The hiking trail was immediately outside of our camp and it was amazing. I will go back there any chance I get!!!
