As others have mentioned, there are train tracks that run right by this property and you have to cross them if you want to go to the coves/beach area, so if you have children you'll want to make sure that they are always with you by your side. The train didn't cause any issues with us - up at the Overlook Cabin you could hear the trains come by frequently but they weren't too loud to us and didn't cause any issues with sleep.
Speaking of sleep, the beds and pillows are SO COMFORTABLE! I had some of the best sleep I've ever had at a a cabin rental. The other amenities were lovely as well, such as; fully stocked kitchen, games, fireplace and tv with plenty of channels and Netflix.
This is a great place to stay overall and is close to the town center of Stevenson, WA, close to Cascade Locks and Multnomah Falls. We plan to come here again!
Overall, the grounds are well-maintained; if staying in the spots nearest the laundry room, the wifi is as consistently available as one can expect of public wifi; and the hosts are amiable and courteous and available when needed, while staying out of one's hair when not. The park offers easy access to the river and is, itself, situated not far from the center of the town of Stevenson where one can pop into the grocery or hardware store to pick up something they might have forgotten to pack. It's almost idyllic. Almost.
The RV park is sandwiched between a busy highway (and I do mean *busy*) and a BUSY railroad track. Both the highway and the train track couldn't be more than 250 feet away the RV spots. The non-stop 18-wheel truck commute noise starts around 5am, daily. It's loud; so loud that, as one might expect, it rumbles the walls of an RV. Surprisingly, the highway noise pales in comparison to the train noise. It's incessant, it's accompanied by the ear-splitting blare of each train's horn, and it goes on, seemingly endlessly. Well, it goes on for the number of train cars per train that pass by, so maybe that's 50 cars or so, give or take. I had no idea that so many trains make their way from Point A to Point B in the wee hours of the night, but it turns out to be true. Not long after one train has blazed a path through an unsurprisingly fitful night's sleep, another one follows suit to keep the promise of sleep at bay and always out of reach. Once night yields to dawn, the trucks take over the noise-making shift and what could have been an idyllic, peaceful time at a lovely RV park, is, instead, a painfully loud and sleep-deprived experience.
It goes on like this, day after day.
By the way, Skamania Coves makes no mention of the fact that, just like the movie "A River Runs Through It", a train runs straight through their property... and then another... and then another... Oh look, here comes another!
We had planned to spend 7 days here but left after 2. The host and owner *refused* to give us a partial refund.
So unless you have an endless supply of industrial strength earplugs, I'd recommend against the lovely but clamorous Resort at Skamania Coves.

"Great view of the Columbia River from the deck! Train tracks are close by so bring your ear plugs if you are a light sleeper."Read full review
