What others are saying about this campground
Memaloose is a popular and busy Oregon State Park situated in a great area with short drives to nearby hikes and amazing views of the Columbia River. It is located just a quick drive from Mosier Plateau hike and is full of beautiful balsam root and lupine. This campground is only accessible through the westbound rest area so if you need to go east to The Dalles, you have to go west to the next exit to turn around. The sites that back up to the river appear to be very nice, although some sites have great views of the river while others have no shade from sun or wind. It is close to fun and trendy Hood River, lots of water activities, wineries and beautiful scenery. The campground is pet friendly and there is a large grass field between the campground and the river. A river beach is accessible via a trail from the campsite, but beware of trains: they come almost silently sometimes. The downside is that it is right next to Interstate 84 and trains pass through the area frequently, and there is noise 24 hours a day. However, it is a great park to explore the Hood River and The Dalles area and the views of the Columbia River Gorge are well worth it.
