We have stay here a couple of time already and it’s a great place to stay a night on our trip to the coast. You do hear the road noise and trains but it’s easy to get in and out. It’s right off the freeway there is always at least 3-4 other people here.

The East bound exit takes you under the I-84 and down to the Columbia River. The road isn't paved, just take it slow.
You could turn a semi around in here. Lots of space and level enough. There was a Class C here when I arrived. Didn't really notice anyone else.
There are 3 long drop toilet and a few tables West of the boat ramp. All were impressively clean.
An access gate was open downriver of the boat ramp. I believe you can access the section west of the gate for more parking options.
I didn't hear the freeway at all. Just wetland birds ie, kildeer, starling, blackbirds, meadowlark...
As usual along the Columbia River, expect it to be breezy during the day and diminishing toward the evening.

You don't get much highway or train noise, which is nice. It's not a large area, but there are a couple private spots and then one open parking lot. Any size rig can fit and get into this area. I absolutely LOVE the river views!

Good overnight stop. We felt safe and an excellent rest stop on our journey home from the Tetons. A few of the other campers looked to be long term.

Right along the river. Can’t hear cars from the highway. There were around 5-6 other campers while I was here. Big turn around for RVs. There’s a pit toilet. I’d stay again :)

Big open gravel area with little shade. It is hot in August! 100 degrees. Vault toilet. Easy and smooth gravel road to get in. 4 bars of Verizon. I would stay again for free, maybe not when so hot though!

This was a nice free place to stay for a night. Great views right on the river. The road in was easy to navigate. Seemed to be recently laid gravel. At the end of the road is a gravel lot that leads to a boat ramp. Plenty of room for several rv’ers. There was only one other RV the night we stayed. The restrooms were locked due to Covid, but there was a clean porta potty. There were 3 cars that came through at separate times after midnight and then left. There is a train track across the river and several trains throughout the night. They didn’t blow the horn, but you can hear them. Didn’t bother us too much. The flies get pretty bad at sunset, but it’s camping so it’s expected. No shade. Fishermen Start to arrive at sunrise (we had 4 show up) so don’t expect to sleep in too late. You’ll wake up as they in load their boats.
We didn’t see any sign about no overnight stays. There is “rules” list by the restrooms and it just said “max stay 14 days”.

We parked next to the river just before entering the fenced area. It was beautiful but windy, as it typically is along the Columbia.
It was 100 degrees so we didnt venture out much until later in the evening.
I did not hear the highway or the trains at night.
