When you first get to the HR Sandbar, look for a tall blond guy with a brown conversion van (w/lots of stickers + big orange 2nd Wind sticker). This is "A-TRAIN", our local kiteboard ambassador. He will give you the low-down on where you can and cannot van camp.
Please reward any good advice he provides you, with a cold half-rack of beer.

you can park your van on sherman street all summer. Been doing it for years and have had no problems.

What about the rest stop right there off the highway at koberg beach or even by memaloose park, are those options? (Interested for myself too).

Bridge RV has really nice showers, and a gas station with coffee and dognuts for the am.

Ask for Robin and tell em Ron sent ya,

I think tent sites are $cheap and your about 5 min. from the hatch and 3 min. from the snatch.

Very Happy

for an out of the way spot with kill view, try fir mtn. rd. Go up till pavement end , another few bends in the road, there is good area with big views of Mt. Hood and upper valley. Ten min. above town of HR.
