Our Take
What makes WYETH CAMPGROUND special
Wyeth Campground offers a welcoming blend of forest and open meadow along the Columbia River Gorge near Hood River, Oregon. With 16 sites set in a mix of tall conifers and grassy fields just off Interstate 84, this campground strikes a balance between easy access and genuine natural beauty. The forested sections provide cool shade and shelter on warm summer days, while the open grassy areas invite kids to run, dogs to roam, and stargazers to spread out after dark. The Gorge itself is the star attraction here, a dramatic basalt-walled corridor where the Columbia River carves through the Cascade Range, creating one of the most photogenic landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. Hiking trails fan out in every direction, from waterfall-studded canyon routes to wildflower-covered ridgelines high above the river. Windsurfers, kayakers, and cyclists all find world-class terrain within minutes of camp. Wyeth feels easygoing and approachable, a great basecamp for families and first-time Gorge visitors who want to explore without roughing it too much. The sites are well-kept and spacious enough to feel comfortable, and the surrounding forest provides a green buffer that makes the nearby highway fade from notice. For a Gorge camping trip that keeps things simple and satisfying, Wyeth Campground is a reliable choice.
