From I-84 at Hood River, head south on highway 35 toward Mt. Hood. Just past the Tamanawas Falls trailhead parking, the Sherwood Campground is on the right.
Don't choose campsite #14. The parking spot for our small motorhome is literally 5 ft from the public vault toilet. Picnic table area was super close to the highway. Absolutely no privacy. Took one look and drove home.
Nice campground with great river access. The highway is noisy but not much traffic at night. As with most campgrounds in the area be aware of the yellow jackets. They seem to sense incoming campers!
After September 15, no reservation is needed. We stayed on Saturday 9/30 and there were only 3 campers for the whole campground. We took site #5 and it's one of the best. Bathroom is very clean. The $28 price is expensive for a no-water campground. Inflation is so bad?
We stayed here over 4th of July. Camp spot # 5 is one of the best. It’s right next to the river and neighbors not too close. The campground is just off the highway, but when you are close to the river it drowns out the sounds of the cars going by. But I think the spots near the highway would be terrible for lights and car noise. We reserved online 3 months in advance.
An awesome hike to a waterfall is a few hundred yards from the campground and you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot. The hike itself is a few miles round trip.
