Stay Ainsworth State Park
Seasonal campground with 40 full hookup sites and walk-in tent sites with nearby parking. A hiker-biker camping area does not accept reservations. It is near Interstate 84 and rail line- online reviews disagree how noisy this is in the campground. The park sells firewood, and has a dump station ($10) open to non-campers.
Additional accommodations can be found in Cascade Locks, Troutdale and near the Portland Airport.
