Viento State Park in OR -- Camping

Nestled on the Columbia River's south bank within the Gorge National Scenic Area near Hood River, this compact park weaves Interstate 84 and Union Pacific Railroad through its landscape. The seasonal full-service campground fronts the river, where strong winds draw windsurfing and kiteboarding enthusiasts. Day-use areas serve as trailheads for gorge hiking and scenic viewpoints beyond the park. The park's name derives from a historic railroad station that once served this same corridor through the gorge.
