Gifford is our favorite camping place! The camp hosts are friendly and welcoming. The camp sites are clean and well maintained. Very quiet and relaxing with many ways to get down to the water. Restrooms are clean and properly stocked. Our kids love coming to Gifford for the swimming and the open areas for riding their bikes. We can’t wait to go back again!

The water is very clear this year and we had a great time floating. The only downside this year was the vault toilet down by the group site ran out of tp every day. Should be monitored more closely by the camp host.

I was on a motorcycle ride following the Columbia River. I had made reservations, paid, so it was nice to pull in and have camp site. The camp was pristine! View was immaculate. The weather cooperated as well we just threw down our bed rolls and slept under the trees. I look forward to going again.

Nice, clean campground in a beautiful location along the river. Water and dump station available for an extra fee. Camp sites are crammed in, so expect loud, fume-spewing generators just feet away from your camp.
