Wyeth Campground

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

Wyeth Campground is just off of Interstate 84 in a forested setting with grassy fields. There are 13 individual sites, three group sites, and a 24-hour camp host.

Paved roads, paths and aprons make this site easily accessible to all. The full-time onsite hosts maintain a central flush toilet restroom with hot and cold water. Each site is equipped with picnic tables and fire grills and many sites are fully accessible. There are no RV hookups or dump sites.
