For Ainsworth State Park: I need to update my comment below. Train noise is pretty bad. We are in an RV so we can close the windows. Unless you’re a heavy sleeper, tent camping would be pretty unbearable. Most of the state parks in the gorge are on the freeway/rail line. Also, we got Verizon but sketchy.

For Ainsworth State Park: Can’t beat this campground for location! Close to falls and trails. In fact there’s a great trail at the park. We explored Beacon Rock, Multanomah falls, the dam, etc., from this park. Yes, there is considerable freeway noise and the trains can be pretty frequent to none at all at night and they are not on top of the park. Train whistles put me to sleep. Now for the campground. We had a fairly private, paved, pull through, full hookup spot for our 30 ft RV with tow. Some blocks were necessary but not too bad. Picnic table and fire pit, although there is currently a burn ban. Showers good with hot water. There are two park hosts right now but haven’t seen any rangers. Gorgeous forest all around! Take note that parts of scenic Hwy 30 are closed due to construction and you may want to check on this before leaving to see the sights. The gorge is unbelievably beautiful. Don’t let the trains stop you.

For Ainsworth State Park: Location of the CG for a Columbia Gorge tour outweighed significant issues. Among them are very uneven sites, noise of frequent trains, and no on-site info sources. There is no WiFi or Ranger station and the cell coverage makes hotspot access to internet very slow to totally unstable. Lack of current info turned every excursion into a frustrating hit or miss experience. Two recommendations; Use I-84 parking lot for Multnomah Falls and Cascade Locks (~8 miles on I-84W) for supplies. Cleaning shower/toilet building appeared to be contracted out with marginally acceptable results. At $47 per night for a “Standard Full” site, paying a little more in a campground west or east of the Historic US30 should be considered.

For Ainsworth State Park: Loved this campground. Well maintained and clean. Beautiful trees and a couple of rabbits to welcome you. I recommend A sites because you have a little more space and don’t feel cramped. Some have complained about the road and trains. We heard one train and you can’t hear the highway. Great place to base camp and explore all the gorge has to offer!

For Ainsworth State Park: Worst site and state park experience to date. Awful check in. Park was only open for camping. There was a roadblock 1/2 mile from campground entrance. When we got there(3:10) we were told we had to wait until 4 and could not remain parked where we were. To turnaround and park where suggested it was a 26 mile drive. Ranger was late & we finally got to our unlevel small site about 4:30. Septic hookup was too far to reach. Will never stay here again.we had to leave park to find green space to walk our dog.

For Ainsworth State Park: Nice campground by state park standards. Restrooms and showers were very clean and worked properly. The A loop sites are a little steep and not perfectly level, the lower sites are more level and flat. Like most older campgrounds it’s a little tight getting in and out with rigs 30ft and over. We stayed overnight.

For Ainsworth State Park: I only used the showers. Excellent, clean showers.

But here are some general comments: like someone said there's a train line and interstate nearby. I was camping further east in a forest service CG and the trains were a nuisance. There are beautiful waterfalls just down the road though.
