Timberlake Campground & RV Park

By all the reviews, we thought this campground would be off the beaten path. About 3 miles from highway 14, on a rural residential street, we found the location to be just right. I’m the middle of everything you might want to do, easy store access, restaurants within an easy drive.

The campground could use some
Maintenance. The sites were be very dirty. Dirty foundation, not raked or picked up. Table needed a room and bucket. I level- 3 blocks on one side and still uneven. 4 wheel drive needed to park. Sites are tight!! Privacy isn’t bad due to foliage.

No Wi-Fi. Limited cell.

Quiet. Nice atmosphere. Just wish a little more maintenance was provided with the higher fees.

We arrived after closing without a reservation, and the owners were so accommodating. We have a 38’ Class A motorhome and they told us that if we were good backing in, to go to the site that would fit us. We’re experienced driving this rig, so there was no issue getting into the site and we had room to maneuver it well.

We read the reviews that mentioned not to take Hood River Bridge so we took The Bridge of the Gods with no issues. It was $7 for our rig to cross.

The showers are hot and clean, the owners are really nice, and the campground is very quiet and beautifully maintained. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We stayed here in mid-October 2021 and loved the location. Quiet spot with lots of trees. I recommend avoiding the Hood River toll bridge if possible, that thing is NARROW. It’s about a 25 minute drive from Hood River, so close enough to restaurants and shopping if you like. There are also some spots that are adjacent to tent camping spots.

We were camping with family next to us .we have a class B and had no trouble getting up the hill, just slow and steady. It was quiet 99% of the time but every park has at least one jerk who yells at quiet time he was talked to and shut up. Weather could not have been better, we were there early Oct 2021. Our site was not level but managed.

Beautiful campground in the rainforest. Four wheel drive is helpful climbing the hill to some of the campsites. Water pressure at the top-most sites can be very low (10 psi). Sewer hookup at my site was just inches from the fresh water spigot. Some site are sloped and uneven. Expect a 20 minute drive to get into White Salmon or Hood River. Very quiet and relaxing surroundings except for the usual: some loud campers, dogs, and babies.

Most rv parks are near hi ways, this one isn’t and we needed a more like camping experience. It is very peaceful here and I felt relaxed. We Took 84 to get here then you have to cross the Columbia River. Because our Rig is big and with a toad we went across using bridge of the gods, They have a toll to cross there that cost us 11 dollars. But is a little wider than some of the other bridges in the area. Lots of trees and bushes here. Our site was easy to level but had to back our rig in up hill to get in. The road gets narrow as you get closer to the park so don’t be in a hurry. You end up about 3 miles from the Columbia River.

Very close to Gorge. Very spacious spots. Nice fire pit which sits behind the trailer for privacy. Hill coming up is steep, desk recommended 4 wheel drive. I had no issues. Backing in is very forgiving because of size of block. We are heading to small lake to Kayak this morning. Great location. Very peaceful campground. Would go back.
