Located in the heart of the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, this KOA will have you rollin' along the river in no time - whether you're cruising aboard the stern-wheeler on the Columbia Gorge, exploring waterfalls along the historic Columbia River Highway or hiking on Larch Mountain's trails at an elevation of 4,000 feet. Displays in the riverfront Marine Park explain the 19th-century locks that made the turbulent Columbia passable (and gave Cascade Locks its name). In nearby Hood River, the Mount Hood Railroad links the Columbia Gorge with the foothills of snow capped Mount Hood. Camp among forested Tent Sites, full-hookup RV Sites with 110-foot pull thru, one- and two-room Camping Cabins and Deluxe Cabins. Pool & Hot Tub: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 110 feet. Your hosts: Kevin and Dawn Benson.

On the Second Saturday of each month WAAAM gets the engines running. Action occurs between 10am and 2pm. Lunch is served between 11am and 1pm. Second Saturdays throughout the winter will be held indoors. Weather permitting, cars and airplanes will be taken outside. Otherwise, there will be indoor events including demonstrations, special exhibits and hands on experiences for visitors. Antique aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, tractors, military jeeps and engines all get their day in the sun when museum volunteers get to show visitors that this is not just a bunch of old, dead stuff ... that life goes on for our artifacts!
*Second Saturday events will be held weather pending. Please contact WAAAM for questions or additional information.
