Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area · Oregon — managed by USDA Forest Service

Open recreation area — no reservation needed

About this campground

Full of outstanding panoramas, this section of the Historic Columbia River Highway (HCRH) is a delightful drive. The world-famous loops that descend from the Rowena plateau to The Dalles is even a joy to drive on weekends, as its distance from Portland has kept it one of the Gorge's less-discovered secrets. Situated on the east end of the Cascades Range, it looks over a grassland ecosystem and is often sunny when other parts of the Gorge are raining.  Touring cyclists can connect this section of the trail to other trails in the The Dalles region or can continue from Mosier to Hood River on the Twin Tunnels segment of the HCRH State Trail.
