Cozy up at a cabin in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge.
In the heart of the scenic Columbia River Gorge, less than an hour's drive east of Portland, Cascade Locks is a spectacular base for exploring the trails and waterways of this gorgeous, if oftentimes rainy, region. You'll have easy access to a range of hiking trails, both on the Oregon side of the Columbia River and over in Washington, just a short drive over the Bridge of the Gods away. While you'll find some state park camping in the area, notably at Ainsworth State Park just downstream, most of the cabins in this area are privately owned. Fortunately for campers looking for a cozy and comfortable getaway, many locals rent their cabins out on Hipcamp, and many such cabins come with all the trappings of a vacation home, including kitchens, modern bathrooms, and even wifi.
