Visited in the Spring. Great campground with shaded sites. Some campsites are not level, but the sites are on asphalt. Located right off the scenic highway of most of the waterfalls. Has a nice area for children to play at and an area for to hike. Very quiet. Clean restrooms. Will come again.
Ainsworth is located within biking distance of Multnomah Falls! And the ride to the falls is epic! What was also a surprise was that you can hike to the top of the falls and afterwards sit in beautiful lounge. Next time we plan on hiking the trails at Ainsworth.
First the good…. Ainsworth is a great location relative to the falls and several hiking trails. The infrastructure is awesome, with flushing toilets and showers. However, on the negative side, there is lots of noise both from interstate traffic and trains. Also, the mosquitoes were awful. All in all, not a bad place and a good place to camp while visiting the gorge.
