Viento is good, except for the train horn. Yes, kiters can launch there.

I have camped at Viento a few times and it is probably one of the better spots. The camp sites are wind protected and shaded. The kite launch is a little tricky depending on how high the water level is that day - but it is doable. Kiters launch there all the time to do downwinders to Hood River.
