Paradise Creek Campground — Hotel in Hood River

Decent campgrounds. No cell service. No showers, but a creek and river to cool off in on a hot day. Pit toilets. Two water pumps. Used Burkey to filter our water, though, because of rust in water. My 10-Person Dark Room Instant Cabin Tent barely fit the camping pad in site 9 (we had maybe two feet past the log, but it worked fine). My dad's same tent fit in the camping pad perfectly at site 8. I wish recreation.gov showed the sizes of each camping pad, but we made it work in the other two sites without using the smaller camping pads because they had enough open space in sites 6 and 7 for the 8-Person Yurt Tents (online each site). The campground is paved and decently long, which was good for riding a bike or skateboard (so probably even a scooter or roller blades/skates). Pets are allowed, but they must be leashed...

Slightly let down. This was our first time camping here. We LOVE Panther Creek, but wanted to try something new. The sites were level. You can see pretty much every camp site around, there is no privacy for any of the spots that can be booked online. We have come to expect a lot out of Hoodoo campgrounds with hosts like Larry at Panther Creek. The bathrooms left a lot to be desired. The "cleaning" appeared to just be them flooding the place with a hose, which stayed wet and then muddy the rest of the time we were there another day. There was fecal matter on the wall that was never washed off during the cleaning. I will say the landscape with the creek and all was very beautiful and there are lots of little trails to explore. Overall not the worst we have been to, but certainly far...

Everything about this campground is wonderful. From the tall trees, clean campground, spacious camp spots, small creeks, lots of trails, etc... EXCEPT the current camp host. He is an awful grumpy man who screamed in our faces as we tried to leave the campground and cut us off the road in his golf cart. Without even looking at our fire pit, which was PUT OUT WITH WATER and had steam coming off of the metal fire ring, he proceeded to scream at us that we left a burning fire. He NEVER once looked in the fire pit or came into the camp spot to check. He was very rude and arrogant until he realized he was wrong and began to apologize which was too little too late. We would camp there again with different hosts, but definitely not with this one. We live in this town, we...
