What others are saying about this campground
Hells Gate State Park is a great campground for those looking for plenty of activities. Located in a state park, campers can enjoy fishing, hiking, swimming, boating, disc golf, volleyball, and mountain biking. The camp spots are close together and there is little privacy, making it a great spot for younger children. The park is parklike with some trees, but overall there is little privacy on the loops. The bathrooms have free showers, and the campground is wheelchair accessible. There are full hookups in the Aspen and Birch Loops, and a short walk to a beach for swimming and launching kayaks. There is also a Lewis and Clark Discovery Center and a disc golf course. The jet boats on the river may be noisy on the weekends, but the Birch Loop is well shielded from the river by mature trees. The campground is clean and well maintained, and the staff is helpful.
