Columbia River Gorge Washington State Campground?

We are going to be in Washington and Oregon in Mid May. After we complete hwy 101 on the coast of Oregon we plan to head east at Astoria. We look to run along the Columbia River on hwy 30 as it should...

I'd stay on I-84 and pick one of the Oregon SP's for a place to stay. WA 14 is narrow and twisty, not good for RV travel in my mind and I've been on both highways many times. As somebody suggested, camp on I-84 and take day trips to the old Columbia River Highway (on the OR side), Pendelton Woolen Mills in WA just east of Vancouver, Maryhill Museum, downtown Hood River, Multnomah Falls, and all the places to visit.
