About this site
Probably the best place for boondocking along the Columbia River Gorge is at Rufus Landing Recreation Area, in the tiny town of Rufus, Oregon. Run by the Army Corps of Engineers, this outcropping of gravel was created by the ACOE when it built the John Day Dam about a mile to the east. Today, it’s a popular free camping for many RVers who wish to stay the full two weeks, or just a sleep-over during their travels.
