Mosier Creek Camp
Quiet but hard to find
This is a very quiet hidden place to camp near the Columbia River. It was very hard to find...especially in the pitch black. The GPS directions are wrong and the written directions are confusing...especially if you go to the GPS directions first. It isn't obvious when you get there either...until I got out with my flashlight and looked around. Otherwise a great stop for a good night sleep.

Good place to crash for the night.
We didn’t need a bathroom or power, if you’re looking for something nicer, this hip camp has no frills. We just needed a place to park our RV while we explored during the days - it was easy with no contact.

Not private. View was ok.
The site needs a bit of a clean up. The porta potty was completely full.

A little worse for wear
It’s a nice area with a lot of space if you have a bigger camping party. But, it was disappointing to see how poorly maintained the property is. There was broken glass and other small trash around the site, and the provided tables and hammock are in desperate need of cleaning/repair. Also, according to the record on the door, the porta potty had last been serviced in April, it would’ve been nice to see it cleaner.
Additionally, I never heard from or met the host. The instructions are to meet upon arrival so I messaged Sue shortly after I pulled in, but never heard back.
On a positive note, I met many kind locals and got to see a lot of wildlife walking right through my site. Mosier is a beautiful town with many natural sights to see.

Overall it is a decent site. As a solo female coming in at dusk I wouldn't recommend it. The directions need to be more clear. I made a wrong turn and drove down someone else's property. There are other markers that could be used. I was grateful I found a place to stay on very short notice so some of that was my fault. The coverage isn't great, earlier would be best.
The site itself is uneven in spots and if you have a van/camper there isn't a way to camp close to the creek. I felt vulnerable to traffic on both sides of me in the dark and was unsure of the area. It was lovely in the morning but I had to move on. I would recommend this site for couples or a small group just for safety.
Again, super grateful the host let me come in so late. The creek is beautiful.

Columbia River Gorge camp
Very eerie spot
Scariest place we tried to camp our entire trip, will be deleting this app after this experience. We were not met by the host at all, and lost service right just around the corner from the camp. We left our camp in a hurry in the middle of a rain storm after seeing someone appear across the campground. There is a house/building hidden within the vines behind the campsite & it was nerve-wracking not knowing who was watching. Very eerie place.
