Where's the best place in the Gorge corridor to just pull in and crash
in the back of a pickup truck? Quiet, but with some friendly windsurfers
around. Showers? Cheap or Free

PS What's the "Bingen School House" like? Is it kinda private with
partitions? Or just a wide open room?

I usually pull into a nice white salmon, dalles, or hood river
neighborhood. Another idea is up in the orchards.

Of course, if you like that sort of thing, you're all set! :-)

In regards to the Bingen School house it is a school with classrooms
that folks pay to sleep in, but I don't know any more details than
that.
In order to avoid train noise be sure to travel several miles away
from the river. Trains go up both sides. There are woods above
Underwood, and west side of Hood River you can pitch in. There is a
decent spot north of Lyle on the road west of town that goes north ( 1
mile, watch close cause it's easy to miss.)

Hi,
The Bingen School is a great place to stay if you enjoy company. $11
bucks a night. They converted the classrooms into mens/womans dorms
that are partitioned into cubes of 4 bunks (bunkbeds). Bring your
earplugs if your a light sleeper as folks often stumble in the dark
around 2am when the Northshore Bar & Grill shuts down... there's alot of
snoring too.
At the Bingen Marina there is a small parking area that windsurfers
crash in adjacent to the actual Bingen campground. Showers at the Hood
River Marina.

My favorite paying spot is the Windurf Ranch just east of Bingen about 1
mile. Lots of sailors staying there and good showers.
My favorite free spot is one of the 100 spots to park on the Oregon side
just west of the dam right next to the Dales. The white noise from the
dam is great for sleeping and drowns out the trains.

Check out Bingen School's web page,
http://www.gorge.net/lodging/cgoc/default.htm. I haven't been since '88 but
I'm sure it is still a great place to stay.
