Ainsworth State Park

How often do you find a campground that combines convenience, stunning scenery, and historical significance like Ainsworth State Park? Located along the Historic Columbia River Highway within the iconic Columbia River Gorge, this campground offers direct access to some of Oregon's most breathtaking waterfalls, including Multnomah Falls, and a lush, forested setting accented by rugged cliffs and serene hiking trails.

Ainsworth State Park features 40 full-hookup sites ideal for RVs, six walk-in tent sites, and a designated bike-in camping area. Amenities include flush toilets, hot showers, picnic tables, and fire rings, ensuring a comfortable stay amidst the natural splendor. The campground also boasts a playground and an amphitheater for seasonal interpretive programs. However, its proximity to an active rail line and Interstate 84 can result in some noise, a trade-off for its excellent accessibility and unbeatable location.

Situated just 22 miles east of Troutdale and less than 20 minutes to countless hiking trails, Ainsworth serves as the perfect base for exploring the Columbia River Gorge. Visitors can enjoy nearby attractions like Horsetail Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the Gorge 400 Trail. Whether you're planning a weekend retreat or a stopover along a scenic road trip, Ainsworth offers a mix of rugged beauty and modern convenience, making it a standout gem for adventurers and nature lovers.
