I found an open spot by the creek, when her and I went up to the spot, my tent, chairs and belongings were gone. Someone decided to steal my camping belongings.

Surrounded by tall tress and a beautiful creek which, If you are daring enough to take a dip, be careful of the swift current. There are very limited utilities here - merely outhouses and one or two well pumps for water. No hand sanitizer in the outhouses. But the campground hosts were very nice and accommodating. They sell firewood for $6 a bushel and are quite strict about bringing in your own. Overall, a wonderful, affordable camping experience. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

You guys, it's Stevenson. If you're not aware of the fact that the trains run through here you are woefully unaware of your own surroundings. The trains are not going to stop just because some Karen didn't think to do her research beforehand and bring earplugs or a white noise machine (they DO warn you about the noise, by the way.) With that being said - this resort is hands down one of the most beautiful experiences to be had in the Columbia River Gorge. My husband and I are currently staying in the Osprey Perch Treehouse and the experience is nothing short of magical- the surroundings are breathtaking, the local towns are charming and fun - the treehouse itself is appointed with top notch linens, coffee, towels - and is a wonderful experience we will remember for a lifetime. If you can emotionally and mentally handle basic day-to-day noise that comes along with being a part of a small Pacific Northwest town, then you will have the vacation of a lifetime staying here.

They communicated really well from the start, when I booked the rental months in advance. And it's only a few minutes drive to town for groceries or other necessities. This specific dwelling is extremely private, simply surrounded by trees and nature. The parking space allowed for easy access to the treehouse entrance, and it was absolutely stunning inside. Plenty of seating options for lounging in the living area, as well as outdoors on the balcony. A kitchen with dishes and paper towels, we were able to put together a nice dinner on Saturday evening. There was also a firepit outside, but no cooking inside the treehouse, just a microwave. There were plenty of plush towels in the bathroom, and the bed in the loft was soft and comfy (a ladder leading to the upper level). They had an in-wall AC unit, central heating, as well as portable heaters and fans throughout, making it convenient to reach a comfortable temperature in any room. And they also offered board games such as scrabble, wine-opoly, and conversation starter card decks, which seem ideal for couples. We enjoyed TwoSome, a game where we win together or lose together. Seriously, this was a good one (though it was missing one card). Even though they don't offer wifi service here, we had no problems accessing the internet on our phones during our stay (T mobile). And it's only a 2-3 minute walk to the river, just over the train tracks, the area peaceful and gorgeous, with magnificent views, and the water a lovely temperature for swimming. I was enamored with the whole experience, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway.

I really can't believe Camp Creek Campground has never been reviewed. Sure, it was my first time…read morethere and I have to tell you it was one of the best car camping experiences I have ever had. This campground (specifically site #13) was very nice. Ok, first off, it is a campground. It is not a hike in and pitch your tent kind of deal. It is a drive up and pitch your tent not too far from you car kind of deal. We stayed at site #13 and our friends stayed at #14. #14 was big which was good as they had 5 people in their party. #13 is pretty small, but there is a secret to that site. When we first drove up to it and saw the picnic table and fire pit and the small space for the tent we thought meh. Been here done this, but here is the secret. The secret is that there is a path just beyond the fire pit that will take you about 15 seconds to wind down. That will take you to a very quiet and secluded open area just above Still Creek where you can pitch your tent. Still Creek will be flowing through your sleep all night long. It did for us for 2 glorious nights. If you can get site #13 go for it. You will not be disappointed.

I selected Lightwell for the convenience to the brewery, which was only a few blocks away. The only drawback I found for this hotel was the parking situation. But fortunately for us since it was a holiday, street parking was all free (and close!)! The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Loved the lobby vibes and decor. Felt traditional and historical, but upscale. Our room wasn't ready (we arrived around noon) but they did take our bags for safe keeping while we were out there enjoying the town. (When we came back to the hotel later that evening, they were already in the room which was nice!) The rooms are small, but that's not a dealbreaker for us. It was cozy and nicely updated. I loved the green paint color!!! Moody but modern! The spa was so quiet and peaceful. I loved the fact that the spa was adults only. Also loved having robes available to wear! It was all lovely! There weren't any services available by the time we got back. I wasn't expecting any services since we were only there for one night, but we definitely enjoyed our time at the spa and sauna. I wished they would allow guests to bring beverages down (in the plastic wine glasses supplied in the room). A beer in the spa would've been the perfect ending to the day! I highly recommend Lightwell. We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back!

Or where they were so creaky that you hesitate to use the bathroom at night for fear of waking up the whole building. Truthfully, R&R Guest House is none of those things. Kevin and Julie are friendly and will help you with as much or little guidance as you want on local hikes, wineries etc. But they aren't in your face or space... Another big highlight is that this property feels new and old at the same time. Definite charm retained in their remodeling. Yet, no feeling of "this doorknob might come off in my hand." And the hot tub and pool are very, very nice. The landscaping is lush and well laid out. Finally--the two meals we hadat this B&B was consistently the best meals we had that weekend, compared to restaurants in both Hood River and The Dalles.

Was excited to try restaurant next door but again just walking in was unappealing. Waiter in t-shirt and shorts. All the paper menus were worn and dirty with food stains, ( accordingly did not eat there). To me the hotel served its purpose because we were traveling with our pups.
