Ainsworth State Park

Beautiful spot to camp. Pros- spacious spots, tucked in the forest, bathrooms are close, but a bit of an uphill climb which could pose a problem for elderly. Trails, the ranger that worked there was nice (cute too) call me 🤙. Cons- trains... and more trains.

I stayed over night Friday August 9th... A lot of pull thru RV spots are a big help. As access road is narrow / tight. Spaces are small / tight. Park is on a hill side. No matter where you camp. Restroom is a hike up a hill, ether coming or going to it. But restrooms are very clean! - NOTE: I had absolutely NO cell service.

It’s a nice home base for waterfall hunting as long as you don’t mind trains. There is no Wi-Fi and cell service is weak in spots. We were in b-18 and we had two bars (T-Mobile) inside the trailer. Outside there were three bars near us. Up in the A loop, at the start, you could find four bars outside. Restrooms are nice and clean. The camp host next to us had a hound dog that they periodically left alone. He howled constantly.

Campsites were nice with full hookups including sewer and the hosts were helpful. Bathrooms and showers were clean. About 20 min drive from downtown Portland and only about 5 min from Multnomah Falls. Easy on and off freeway access but can hear the traffic at the campground. You can also hear the train that passes by multiple times a day. Another good thing is about half the campsites are pull through and the other half are back in. Will consider going back if we ever visit the Portland area with the camper again.

Easy access. Tight spaces, but still had enough privacy. Friendly host and the park ranger. Definitely will be back!

Loved camping here! Showers almost felt luxurious. Finding the right temperature of the water was so easy. We camped on a nice flat surface with not too many rocks. We will be back!

First the good…. Ainsworth is a great location relative to the falls and several hiking trails. The infrastructure is awesome, with flushing toilets and showers. However, on the negative side, there is lots of noise both from interstate traffic and trains. Also, the mosquitoes were awful. All in all, not a bad place and a good place to camp while visiting the gorge.

Quiet and beautiful. Close to Multnomah Falls, fishing, and the fish hatchery.
