Celilo Park Recreation Area

I arrived after dark and had no problem finding a place to park. There were many tents set up in the dispersed camping area. Confirmed it is open, free, and good bathrooms. As others have described, the road and trains sounds may keep one from getting a full night's sleep, but last night I had a great view of a meteor shower all nig... more

We stayed here overnight November 8th, 2021. Beautiful location! The trains and highways didn't bother us at all; we slept like the dead! There is signs that say dayuse between signs when first entering. However, the Park Ranger let us know the next morning they are closed for camping for the season. Our reason for only 4 stars. BUT, ... more

the trains went by without whistles during the night we were there. you can hear road noise but it didn't keep us awake in our RV. We did wake up to terrible wind gusts coming up the river canyon in the middle of the night, pulled the slides in because we were afraid it would tear the awnings off. There is a beautiful grassy area by t... more

We decided to stop for the night, kids were restless. Lots of grassy area and small playground for them to play. Trains were extremely loud over night, blarring horns, coming from both ways. Not so bad for a quick stop, but wouldn't want to stay longer.

I went to Celilo Park Recreation Area today, as I will have to leave where I am at currently, I found out that there is camping there 7 days max in 30... As the previous poster replied that it was Day Use Only, is incorrect, there are two signs in front of bath rooms, that state; 'Day Use only between these signs, camping further down... more

Stopped by here and there’s a sign at the entrance saying “Day Use Only”. Must have changed recently.

I just pulled in at 10:30 PM, Sunday August 23, 2020. Chilled in the car for a bit then went into the field to find a flat spot to pitch my tent. Found a perfectly flat spot next to a big tree. And then the sprinklers came on. And let me tell you I’m in my car and it sounds like I’ve been going thru the car wash for half an hour now. I... more

It’s just a parking lot( unless you are tent camping). The train came by 5 or 6 times. The highway is also loud. There was also some weird noises outside at night and I was worried our neighbors were siphoning our gas or something. Lol. All in all, the only place that has every made me feel nervous but it was actually fine.

Pretty green park, Decent public restrooms. We stayed here a week in June in our 37' Class A. The constant cool breeze off the Columbia and shade from the large trees made the heat tolerable. The highway noise isn't too bad, but wow, the trains horns are quite startling at times. Quite a few other overnight RVs, a couple of Tents, mo... more

Good and Safe área to stop and catch a good nights rest. Area is large enough for big RVs and smaller vehicles. Plenty of space to put up a tent. However, There is no water hookups or RV dump stations. Lastly, if you don’t mind the highway noise or the train that passes along the site this place is perfect.
