Take Highway 35 south from Hood River for about 38 miles. Turn left to Barlow Pass Sno-park. Drive south on Forest Road 3530 about 1 mile. Turn left up a short spur road to campsites.
TERRIBLE. The campsite was badly littered by inconsiderate campers who couldn't even walk 10 feet away to use the restroom. Human waste bags were left laying out. The fly's and bees were out of control and very aggressive. I got stung several times. DANGER: Several trees and large branches appear as though they could fall at any time. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! You'll need a 4x4 with HIGH CLEARANCE. And not your pretty pavement rig, it WILL get scratched up and filthy. You'll also need at least one spare tire and a chainsaw. If a tree falls there's only one way in or out out of there. GOOD LUCK!
The road to this campground currently has warning signs saying the bridge on the road is washed out/ too dangerous and that they were going to do repairs, but not anytime soon. I tried driving down the road, it is very difficult. Couldn't make it very far. Hiked in from a few miles away, road is indeed washed out close to the campground as well. No facilities here.
No actual accessible campground, just two dispersed spots. The road to the “campground” (if there even is one) is washed out, Horribly. Just to down to the dispersed spots is super rough and pretty steep.
