3 days here. Secluded and so much to do and see here. We will definitely be back. The scheduling was easy over the phone. Met a park Ranger…very kind and helpful. Full hookups including sewer. No internet but will have it just about everywhere else you drive to. Absolutely a beautiful area. UPDATE: We noticed a set of keys was missing after we arrived at our next location which is about 2 hours away. Just got a phone call from Ainsworth State Park asking if we are missing some keys, and they’re putting them in the mail to us. Thank you, to all who are involved‼️😀💜

One of my favorite campgrounds. Beautiful area. Thanks to Firefighters the park was saved from the massive Eagle Creek Fire. The campground has very nice pull through sites with full hookups. Plenty to do in the area. Multnomah Falls is close by. Bonneville Dam has a really cool Fish Hatchery that is worth going to. Portland is close enough you can go to the zoo or OMSI.

Park was very nice, clean & camping spots were large & mostly level, didn't take much to level out our 37 ft. trailer. Only downfall is the trains at night if you are a light sleeper. We really enjoyed our stay.

Visited in the Spring. Great campground with shaded sites. Some campsites are not level, but the sites are on asphalt. Located right off the scenic highway of most of the waterfalls. Has a nice area for children to play at and an area for to hike. Very quiet. Clean restrooms. Will come again.

How do you pay for a second car at a campsite?

Sara Pratt | Aug 17, 2020
Delores Shelton | Aug 17, 2020

Yes. Unlike bigger campgrounds, there's a kiosk to the right as you enter the park. We didn't realize that's where to pay for an extra vehicle until the Ranger came by to check us in.

It is open, you can check in any time. The road is blocked off and manned so if you have reservations you can get in any time. I just left last week.

Yes the campgrounds are open. Stayed there for a couple weeks last month. You'll have to enter from the east end of the Old Hwy. Have your reservation ready on your phone or printed out. There will be someone on the road before the park checking for reservations before allowing you past the road block
