About
Oklahoma Campground is nestled in a lush grove of large hemlock, cedar, maple and fir trees alongside the Little White Salmon River, near the Columbia River Gorge. The campground terrain is flat with some open meadows, making it ideal for smaller groups who want to camp together without needing a full group campground. Fishing and wading are permitted in the Little White Salmon River, where anglers can find brook and rainbow trout. The multi-use Monte Carlo Trail is accessible from the campground and can be enjoyed by hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders. Big Lava Bed trail is located just west of the campground and takes hikers through a landscape marked by basalt lava formations and pine forest. The campground's proximity to the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Adams makes it an ideal base for exploring those areas. Sites include picnic tables and fire pits. A camp host is present during the operating season.
