Wyeth Campground

Nice campground with flush toilets. Most of it is shaded and we didn't have too much trouble with mosquitoes. There is a trail at the south end that leads to a waterfall and a couple of side trails that wrap around the ridge. The waterfall is quite a scramble so be prepared to get wet and climb things if you are determined to see it. There's poison oak everywhere along the trail. The only thing I felt the campground could have used was a dump for dishwater. You'll need to filter and pack out waste or just use disposables. Dumpster is near the restrooms.

We visited our friend staying at Wyeth. A beautiful and peaceful campground with pretty trails and a nice hike to a waterfall. Maintained nicely by the camp host. The bathrooms were clean and easy to access. The spots were spaced, so you don't feel crammed in there. The bugs were at a minimum too. It's very shady and relaxing to hang out. It was also close to the town of Cascade Locks where we grabbed a bite to eat. Drove over the Bridge of the Gods and back to get a nice view of the Columbia. We also visited the Bonnville Dam from there. A great central location to Camp.

Nice campground, lot of shades and quiet. First come first serve for $20 a night very good price. Ok restrooms, no shower but another nearby campground have showers.

Beautiful lesser known area of the gorge. Campground is well kept by the Forest Service. Despite the noise from nearby I-84, the surrounding beauty of the forest more than makes up for it. As an historic note, the structures were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and during World War II, the area was a camp for conscientious objectors.

I didn't actually go to the campground. My mother took the exit so we could trade places and she could have a break from driving. It was late at night and pitch black. My 85-year-old mother played a trick on me. When we were going around the car, in the pitch black, she said, "There's a man over there." It rattled me so badly - until she laughed. I was certainly alert for the rest of the drive. We realized too late that there is no return to I-84 Westbound. Thankfully, we only had to drive 4 miles east toward Hood River before we could head west again.
