This property with RV camping sites and various lodging options is one of the most scenic places we have ever stayed. Our campsite overlooked the Columbia river with sailboats and kiteboards passing by. There are a couple of coves for swimming or launching a kayak or small boat. My boys loved the tree swing and spend hours pushing one other and enjoying this simple delight. My youngest son and is train buff and loved seeing all the trains that passed by. I could see that some may not appreciate the noise of the passing trains, but we enjoyed it. There is a little road noise during the day, but this really quieted down in the evenings so it was NOT like camping next door to a major freeway. The laundry room was closed due the pandemic so we were not able to use this. The tree house looks especially charming and I think my husband will hopefully make it back someday just to enjoy this for a romantic get-away.

Our family has been feeling very cooped up during Covid so we decided to get out of town safely and stay at the Overlook Cabin at the Skamania Coves Resort. This house was perfect for our family of four - which included two adults, a four year old and a baby. It was quite cozy and the view couldn't be beat! It was a rainy weekend (as it is February) but we were still able to enjoy the views. Our four year old loved walking down with us to the coves and playing at the "beach" area. We want to come back in the summer as this area would be lovely then.
As others have mentioned, there are train tracks that run right by this property and you have to cross them if you want to go to the coves/beach area, so if you have children you'll want to make sure that they are always with you by your side. The train didn't cause any issues with us - up at the Overlook Cabin you could hear the trains come by frequently but they weren't too loud to us and didn't cause any issues with sleep.
Speaking of sleep, the beds and pillows are SO COMFORTABLE! I had some of the best sleep I've ever had at a a cabin rental. The other amenities were lovely as well, such as; fully stocked kitchen, games, fireplace and tv with plenty of channels and Netflix.
This is a great place to stay overall and is close to the town center of Stevenson, WA, close to Cascade Locks and Multnomah Falls. We plan to come here again!

We stayed in the Overlook cabin. It felt very private. The view was stunning off the deck. The amenities worked well. It was great to have a full kitchen. The bed was comfortable with nice pillows. It was very clean. It was convenient to many sites in the Columbia Valley gorge

We stayed in an rv spot with a river view. The resort is very well maintained and the coves are nice. Good access to surrounding hikes and water activities and Stevenson is just down the road. I think the rate is reasonable. Be prepared for road and train noise

Booked a weekend here to escape the crazy covid world. Not much to add to the other reviews- we thought the house we stayed in was very comfortable but between the trains below and highway above the noise was annoying. The location was nice- close to town and a good staring point for an adventure to Hood River or other locales.

I stayed for two nights in the treehouse. It’s located about one mile east of Stevenson Washington. I never saw anyone on the property. It’s close to highway and the railway tracks. You don’t here the road noise but the trains are more on a regular basis. The treehouse is very nice. It has its own bathroom and shower. It has a small table for eating and small kitchen area. It has a microwave and small sink. The bedroom is located in the loft. You climb a letter to reach the bedroom. There is a balcony with a nice view. The place was very clean and I look forward to coming back soon.

Boy howdy is this place a lovely sight to behold! We stayed in spot 1 in our RV trailer. The spots are wide, easy to back into, and feature a nicely maintained grassy area on either side along with a picnic table. The view of the river from many of the RV spots is to die for. To say that a river runs through the park is only a slight exaggeration. The river is not more than 1000 feet away from the RV spots.
Overall, the grounds are well-maintained; if staying in the spots nearest the laundry room, the wifi is as consistently available as one can expect of public wifi; and the hosts are amiable and courteous and available when needed, while staying out of one's hair when not. The park offers easy access to the river and is, itself, situated not far from the center of the town of Stevenson where one can pop into the grocery or hardware store to pick up something they might have forgotten to pack. It's almost idyllic. Almost.
The RV park is sandwiched between a busy highway (and I do mean *busy*) and a BUSY railroad track. Both the highway and the train track couldn't be more than 250 feet away the RV spots. The non-stop 18-wheel truck commute noise starts around 5am, daily. It's loud; so loud that, as one might expect, it rumbles the walls of an RV. Surprisingly, the highway noise pales in comparison to the train noise. It's incessant, it's accompanied by the ear-splitting blare of each train's horn, and it goes on, seemingly endlessly. Well, it goes on for the number of train cars per train that pass by, so maybe that's 50 cars or so, give or take. I had no idea that so many trains make their way from Point A to Point B in the wee hours of the night, but it turns out to be true. Not long after one train has blazed a path through an unsurprisingly fitful night's sleep, another one follows suit to keep the promise of sleep at bay and always out of reach. Once night yields to dawn, the trucks take over the noise-making shift and what could have been an idyllic, peaceful time at a lovely RV park, is, instead, a painfully loud and sleep-deprived experience.
It goes on like this, day after day.
By the way, Skamania Coves makes no mention of the fact that, just like the movie "A River Runs Through It", a train runs straight through their property... and then another... and then another... Oh look, here comes another!
We had planned to spend 7 days here but left after 2. The host and owner *refused* to give us a partial refund.
So unless you have an endless supply of industrial strength earplugs, I'd recommend against the lovely but clamorous Resort at Skamania Coves.

This place is beautiful and a most wonderful location. The staff was great, responsive and the facility was immaculate. The problem? Look at their map and notice the tiny, not listed anywhere railroad tracks. Huge trains run through there day and night; some with four engines on the front, several in the middle and more at the end. Imagine that all night long! We walked to the river to enjoy the near sunset. Started back because it was getting dark and the place is not well lite. Well there was a train on the track not moving and too big to walk around. So we had to wait until an Amtrak passed the other way, Was that it? Nope, then another huge train and finally the one blocking the road moved on, well over an hour later. We would never go back 1) the noise of the train and 2) we saw nowhere the mention of this in the literature to give you fair warning. The map makes it look like the train tracks are not close but the RV site is on a bluff and that makes them very close to not only the noise but the vibration. We do not have a tiny RV and at least once a day we had to adjust the levelers because the vibration constantly shifted the gravel = A real shame - beautiful place.

This was our first RV camping experience and it couldn't have been more amazing! This resort has beautiful homes for rent as well as 17 RV spots...it was dark by the time we arrived, but it was fairly easy to find our spot on the upper level. This is a gated resort which was nice! We had no idea how amazing this place was until we awoke to the beautiful sunrise over the Columbia River Gorge. The bathrooms/showers were immaculate and within close range to all of the RV spots. The Coves down at the river made me say WOW over and over..it is really that beautiful!! The views of the river and mountains were breathtaking and the easy walking trails were great to get you to all of the private beach areas. It was sunny but windy, however the coves offered much reprieve from the wind so it ended up being quite warm! Highway 14 is very close, but neither the traffic or the ongoing trains bothered us at all. There is no doubt about it, we will return again soon!

We stayed in the "tree house" for my birthday. It was very special, great views, wonderful property, many other units to rent, but only one tree house. Main bed is up a ladder and the bed was jus fine. Plenty of plates, glasses, etc and a very comfortable deck to enjoy in the morning or evening. Right next to the Columbia River where you see boat traffic. Lots of trains day and night. But well worth it
