    Campsite 22
    Kevin B.

    Very nice stay. Some of the RV spots are very close to one another and others are spaced out. We had one that practically by itself, and very private. Nice location and very quiet for the most part. I believe there is logging going on next property over and were awaken most mornings by heavy equipment in use on that property. Nothing that the owners are responsible for, but it breaks up the peace and quiet. Fire wood was the best in town. Very dry and easy to get going. That is a plus after buying firewood at many campgrounds and finding it to damp to light. Campground was very clean and has a great dog walking area. Probably the top 3 campgrounds we have stayed at in 10rs of RV'in On a side note, local black and white cat not friendly to dogs. He picked a fight with our boxer and coon dog at the same time !!! The cat is the apex animal on this property !!!

    It's a little out of the way, which makes it amazing! Great campground if you like the woods. Quiet and removed from the noise of the hi-way. We woke to wild turkeys and deer wandering through our campsite. Full hookups and easy to get in and out of with our 27' trailer. (Plenty of room for larger units as well). This is our second time staying here and glad we found it. Note: it's about 3 miles from Hwy 14 turnoff on a little mountain road so you'll start thinking you missed the camp, but it's there!

    I was trying to decide if I wanted to go to the coast or go camping in the woods for my bday weekend. I was searching campgrounds and saw the good reviews on Timberlake, so I decided woods it was. So glad I did! My fiancé and I pulled up on Friday afternoon and were greeted right away by the owners Kyle and Marissa. They were very friendly and accommodating from the get go. We tent camped in site 9 and it was nicely secluded. It was just under 30 bucks for the night...much cheaper than the 200 I would have paid for a hotel in Cannon Beach. You can only very faintly hear the sound of the train passing through now and then, but not enough to be bothersome. The campsite is very clean and well maintained. I have camped a lot ever since I was very young and this is by far the nicest campground I have ever been to. The bathrooms are meticulously kept clean...a fact I greatly appreciate. The showers are a quarter per minute and a half. We are new to the area so we had no idea what to expect for surroundings but there is a coffee/cafe spot just down the road from the campground if you really need a decent cup of coffee and breakfast in the morning like we did, you can just go grab it. Yeah I know, it's not really roughing it but I'm ok with that. There are also other restaurants and breweries nearby and they give you coupons in case you're interested in that or zip lining at Skamania lodge. Check in is 2 pm and check out is 12 pm. If they aren't booked, you can extend for $2 per additional hour. Bring bug spray and definitely come check this campground out..You're sure to have a great time in the Columbia river gorge forest. Lots of beautiful hikes and trails nearby. Get an adventure pass cause I saw the rangers out giving tickets to cars without them. It's just breathtaking along the river...we can't wait to come back!

    This is a wonderful place for tent camping. Kyle and Marissa, the owners/operators, are wonderful. They keep their campground very clean: the showers and toilets were always in perfect shape during the entire week we stayed. They also were helpful with advice on what to do around the gorge with children (they bought the campground in 2016, moving here from SoCal with their own two elementary age kids). The tent sites are spacious, set in a forested, shady area, and far enough apart to afford privacy. They have a 10 pm to 7 am quiet time, which guests abided by, making for better nights and more energy during the day. We had originally meant to stay just three nights, but decided to stay a week and make this our base of operations because we enjoyed it so much!

    Merrill Lake Campground is a pretty awesome spot. Awesome enough that I honestly hemmed and hawed…read moreover whether to even add it to Yelp. Although my better Yelp humanitarian judgment has won out here, I still hope you read this, enjoy it, and camp somewhere else. Why? This little campground only has about 9 sites. It's free but you need a discovery pass. There is a camp host and there are surprisingly clean pit toilets on-site, but no potable water. The sites fill up fast in the summer time, but have a 3-day limit that's enforced by the friendly but vigilant camp host. I don't want it to fill up even faster now that I'm sharing this, since I do plan to hit this spot at least one more time before summer is over. There are no reservations (first-come, first-served) and the campsites are designed to work for larger groups - some of them could easily fit 7-10 tents. Each site is spaced decently well away from the others, and offers a picnic table, fire ring and places to pitch. The sites don't really offer views of the lake, they're set back in the trees, but there's plenty of shade Not too dusty, but some sites are heavy with gravel. While it's car camping, you don't drive right in to your site but park in a common lot, then walk in (the farthest you'll have to walk is about 50 yards). So no car noise up close to your site. This little campground sits just by Merrill Lake, a nice smaller lake that does not (thankfully) allow motorized boats and fishing is restricted to fly only, catch + release. For these reasons the water is calmer, cleaner, and dotted with fly fishermen and specific times of the day. At the mid-July mark the lake was warm and clear... perfect for swimming and canoeing. There are some excellent trout holes around the edges of the lake, however I'm not a fly fisherman and don't believe in torturing anything I'm not able to then eat (so catch + release is not for me). However I can see how this would be an attractive spot for a fly fisherman. This campsite is a great place to get away from PDX. Only about 1h 35m in no traffic, and the drive (especially if you come up the 503) is a nice one. Very pastoral, windy road. Get out of your house this summer and sleep under the stars. Just do it at some other campsite since this one is mine.

    We stayed for two nights-three days last weekend for my niece's birthday. We usually stay at a…read morecampsite at Lake Berryessa in California, but most of my family now lives in Vancouver so we opted for somewhere near there. Plus, the lakes in California don't even amount to the lakes in Washington/Oregon. My parents went to Merrill Lake Campground on Thursday to secure us a spot which was first come first serve. They managed to get a campsite (#4) that had a direct path to the lake (not the day use where most of the guests would walk to)! It was really big, the only downside was the hill which isn't ideal with little kiddos. Also, that we couldn't have a campfire due to Washington's high alert for fires. It just wasn't the same. You do need a discovery pass which we got at a store that was twelve minutes from the campsite- Lakeside Deli. It was $11 for a day use. The scenery was amazing. It wasn't hot at all where the campsite was. It was surrounded by trees. The water was so clear and clean. The weather was perfect once we made it out of the campsite, through the trail, and to shore. Oh god, and the drive. The drive up the mountain was the scariest I've ever seen. It was beautiful, but so scary. It was a great stay (for free at that!). I recommend this lake!

While driving down 84 East, it never seems clear to me on where exactly to stop and park and enjoy the parallel bike path. I finally poked around and found that Viento has ample parking, $7 parking day pass for residents and $9 for out of state (bring cash for the easiest way), and allows you to immediately connect to the pathed path - glorious views and an unbeatable bike lane that Oregon has created for us.

Yes, it's next to the interstate and the traffic can be heard in the campground. That's all noted in the campground info and can be seen on any map when searching for campground. It's also a very nice, wooded, campground, next to the Columbia River. There are only a few large spaces to accommodate a larger RV but there are several small to medium spaces. We've always been able to find a spot for our midsize RV that also accommodates our slide. Tents are of course welcome as well. The water hook up pressure is good. The power is easily accessible and dependable. There is a picnic table and fire pit at every site. Check local burn restriction before camping. The Columbia Gorge closes open fire burning at different times through the year depending on the weather and fire conditions. Sometimes it's posted on the campground page if it's open or not. Depending on the size of your RV you may want to bring along a small hand saw in case you need to trim a branch or two off of the trees in close proximity. It's a short drive into Cascade Locks and Hood River. Theres tons of recreation near by. Everything from shopping & dining to fishing and hiking. If you can tolerate the train and highway noise and enjoy the scenery you'll be just fine here.
