Choo choo, choo choo...there are 12 RV spots with electrical and water, but no cable. Sewage dump is centralized, not at each driveway spot. We were able to pick-up TV signals. About 10x each night a freight train comes barreling down within ~50 yards away. It's so thunderous that it shook our RV. I guess you get used to it if staying for more than a few nights, but on that first night you're in for an awakening. That said, it's a nice little campground. Proximity to the water is close and it's a very easy walk to Thunder Island Brewing (be sure to try the prime rib which is only served on Friday's.) Bathrooms are a bit dated. The view is definitely a cut above other campgrounds in the Gorge.

The Cascade Locks Marine Park has about 10 different amenities, so hopefully something for everyone. The main attractions are the campground, marina, visitors center, cafe, museum, Columbia Sternwheeler cruise, playground and park. Heck, they even have an island. After taking the cruise, my kids enjoying monkeying around in the themed playground while I toured the museum. The main park has a large, lush grassy field and a small covered shelter. It offers a great view of the Bridge of the Gods and Columbia Gorge, with the best view from Thunder Island if you just cross the bridge. The day we were there, they were setting up for an outdoor wedding. Unfortunately the weather gods were not cooperating. One thing I wish was more developed was a walking path. In the main area, there is a poorly maintained gravel path along the water. So difficult for strollers, kids' bikes and those with mobility issues. Aside from that, it was a very well maintained public park. Decent restrooms, free wi-fi and lots of open space. Highly recommend picking up a soft serve flavor burst ice cream from the East Wind Drive-in (aka "The Penguin") and enjoying your treat in the park.

Great park with lots of open space and tons of parking with a boat launching area. This place is awesome for fishers also! There is also a nice view of the Bridge of the Gods.

What a beautiful place we took the riverboat cruise and it was fantastic. The park, the waterfront, the museum...this place has everything. Love it.

I really like this park. There is a playground, bathrooms, covered and uncovered picnic tables, a great view of the water, places to fish from shore and the ferry the Sternwheeler of Columbia Gorge. A great place to stop and relax. And the park is very well kept. If you take the first road right after the Eastwind drive in on the left you can't miss it.

Usually we go for much more remote and spread out type camping, but in the middle of a very snowy winter you can't get to any forest service spots and most state parks are closed this time of year too. This park is in a great location for visiting the Columbia Gorge, Hood River, etc. It sits right next to the Cascade Locks. It is a very small campground and I would imagine that is is very popular in the summer. But during the winter it was quiet and we almost had the whole place to ourselves. Lots of areas to explore walking around and just a short walk to town for restaurants and shopping. One thing to note the clearance to get in is a little low (12') so if you have a tall vehicle check it out ahead of time. Also it does sit right next to the train tracks so it might be load at times too. Reservations are taken in peak months May to Sept and the prices are higher then too. Overall it isn't our typical kind of place, but we will definitely keep it in mind for future road trips in winter!

It offers a great view of the Bridge of the Gods and Columbia Gorge, with the best view from Thunder Island if you just cross the bridge.

The Bridge of the Gods... now that's a name that carries some weight…read more And it should because long before this steel beauty ever stretched across the Columbia River Gorge, there was something else here. A real, honest-to-God land bridge. A massive landslide hundreds of years ago choked the river and let people cross on foot until the river fought back and tore it apart. The Native legends say the gods themselves had a hand in building it... and destroying it. Fast forward, and now you've got this 1926 cantilever bridge about 1,800 feet of steel hanging out over the Columbia, standing roughly 140 feet above the water like it's got something to prove. Now here's where it gets personal. Years back little younger, little dumber, definitely more ambitious I ran a marathon. And by "ran," I mean I survived it with forward motion and questionable decision-making. But the moment I remember? Crossing this bridge. No crazy wind that day. Just... calm. Which is rare out there. You're up high enough to feel it, but not fighting it. Just steady. You look out, and it's cliffs, rock, river, and sky all layered together like somebody took their time building the view. And that's the thing about this bridge it sneaks up on you. From a distance, it's all structure. Steel, angles, purpose. But when you're on it? It's exposure. You feel the height. You feel the space. You realize real quick this isn't just a crossing it's a moment suspended out over something much bigger than you. There's history under your feet. Legends in the rocks. And yeah... maybe a little bit of your own story tied into it too. It's not flashy. It's not trying to be

Bridge of the Gods the name makes it sound grand but when you get to the place it is like any other…read morebridge that you probably have seen before. I didn't really think it was that special. But it was decent I guess, to say that I did come to a place named the Bridge of the Gods.
