Overview Eagle Creek campground is located above Interstate 84 among tall trees. It was the first developed campground in the Forest Service system. Campsites are well-spaced creating a feeling of privacy. It is, however, located on the bluff above Interstate 84 and railroad tracks so it can be noisy.Recreation This campground is part of the Eagle Creek Recreation Area featuring the classic and popular Eagle Creek trail and access to several other hiking and road biking trails. There are outstanding day hike opportunities with views and wildflowers as well as access to the Mt. Hood National Forest and Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness with extended overnight trips. Boating, river activities, interpretive centers, fish hatcheries, bird watching and picnicking are in this area.Facilities There are 16 campsites available, each with a paved parking apron and most are fully accessible. There is a central restroom, and faucets for drinking water are scattered throughout the campground. A full-time host is on site.Natural Features Located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Eagle Creek campground is situated in a classic Douglas fir and maple forest with osprey nesting overhead. Salmon fishing is popular on the nearby Columbia River. Nearby Attractions See huge sturgeon and other fish at the underwater viewing area at Bonneville dam and hatchery or take a self-guided tour of the onsite Cascade fish hatchery. Cascade Locks Museum and Sternwheeler are five minutes away to the east. The iconic Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Historic Highway are a short drive to the west.

$15 but it should be free, nothing but pit toilets, no sink or even hand sanitizer. Sites are loose silty dirt. The kind that gets in your nose and eyes just walking around camp. Highway runs right through your view of the river. The least relaxing, noisiest campground imaginable. Trail goes right through sites, no privacy. The camp host looks homeless with a beaten down old junkie set up that doesn’t seem inviting. You could find a rest stop that’s quieter and more well kept. Which we probably should have done.

We were looking for a site for a Saturday night during Covid & fire season and this is what we could find! The campground has a 20' trailer limit and for good reason - a tight hairpin turn going up in to the campground. We had site #14 which had a shared spur with the site next to it. Most sites would be better suited for tents or maybe truck campers, but with our long truck & 19' Rpod, we still fit and did not have to un-hook. There are a few sites that would have fit us. Sites and campground were clean. Nice hiking trails & views from some of the sites. Yes, you can hear the highway and trains, but we have found that to be true for every campground we have been to along The Gorge. Interesting fact - this campground is the first National Forest CG to be built - in 1916. Hence the tight hairpin and smaller sites! Still good though :)
