Private campsites & glamping in White Salmon, WA
White Salmon sits on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, a former timber town turned wind-sport and wine hub with straight-on views of Mount Hood. It is quieter than Hood River across the river, with top-tier pizza, breweries, and easy access to the White Salmon River's famous rafting. Under Canvas's safari tents and Skamania's treehouses are both minutes away.
The town is the gateway to Mount Adams country — the BZ Corner area leads to waterfall hikes and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Summer brings reliable Gorge winds (and windsurfers); fall brings harvest at the area's 30+ wineries.
