Sumpter RV Park

26 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

At the foot of the majestic Elkhorn Mountain Range in Oregon's gold country, Sumpter RV Park serves as a historic gateway to the scenery, adventure, and remarkable frontier history that have made the Sumpter Valley one of eastern Oregon's most compelling destinations. The park offers full hookups at 30 and 50 amp service alongside WiFi, laundry facilities, and a general store stocked with supplies and propane, creating a complete base camp for exploring the mining camps, mountain trails, and high desert landscapes that surround this small Gold Rush town. In winter, the property transforms into a launch point for more than 350 miles of groomed snowmobile trails threading through the Elkhorn peaks. Sites come equipped with hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, and guests can rent fire pits for classic campfire evenings in the thin, clear air of eastern Oregon's mountains. The camp store carries supplies, snacks, and small detergent boxes for the laundry room, while the park's BBQ area and yard games—cornhole, darts, and more—provide social gathering points between explorations. The surrounding landscape invites active engagement year-round: gold panning in Sumpter's creek drainages, ATV riding on the area's designated trail network, and hiking into the high granite peaks of the Elkhorn Range keep guests busy regardless of season. Sumpter itself is a small, well-preserved town with the bones of its Gold Rush past visible at every turn—historic storefronts, mining-era buildings, and the rusting machinery of a century-old industry give it an atmospheric authenticity that living history museums can only approximate. The Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area, right in town, preserves the last of three massive floating gold dredges that worked the Powder River bottomlands between 1913 and 1954, leaving behind the ghostly landscape of tailing piles and settling ponds that define the valley floor. Cracker Creek Mining Camp offers hands-on gold panning experiences for visitors who want to feel a little of the original fever. The Sumpter Valley Railroad, a narrow-gauge heritage railroad operating vintage steam and diesel equipment on restored trackage, runs excursions between Sumpter and McEwen during the summer months—a genuinely evocative way to experience the valley that once connected the mining towns to the smelters of Baker City. Baker City itself, 30 miles east, houses the outstanding Oregon Trail Interpretive Center documenting the emigrant experience on one of history's most consequential migrations. The Elkhorn Mountains, rising to over 9,000 feet above Sumpter, offer summer hiking and fall hunting for elk and mule deer in terrain that sees far fewer visitors than the Cascades to the west. Sumpter's peak season runs June through September, when the mountain wildflowers bloom, the railroad runs, and the dredge grounds are accessible. Summer temperatures at elevation are cool and pleasant—Sumpter sits at 4,500 feet, and even July nights invite a jacket. Fall delivers the hunting season and the first frosts that turn the aspen groves gold before the snow comes. Winter snowmobile riders find Sumpter's position at the trailhead ideal. Reserve your site at Sumpter RV Park and step into a corner of Oregon history that most travelers never discover.

Imperial River Co.

27 RV Sites

Imperial River Co. in Maupin, Oregon, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites directly on the banks of the Deschutes River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Riverfront back-in and river view pull-through categories put guests on the water rather than near it, with a boat ramp, docks, a bar, and on-site dining. Twenty-seven sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in riverfront back-in and river view pull-through configurations, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. When leaving the park, follow the directional signs slowly toward the exit without crowding, and proceed with caution to Bakeoven Road — depending on water level, you have two route options, one of which crosses the bridge. The river is the property's identity. A boat ramp and boat docks give direct access for whitewater rafting, fishing, and boating, with a community fire pit, walking trails, sports courts, volleyball, picnicking, and biking on the grounds. A bar, on-site dining, and a library round out the property, with planned activities through the season and strong birding along the canyon. Pets are welcome. Maupin sits on US-197 at the most active commercial whitewater and fishing section of the lower Deschutes — Oregon's most celebrated whitewater and fly fishing river, with 100 miles of canyon carrying Class III and IV rapids and a wild steelhead and rainbow trout fishery. Summer rafting season and the steelhead run drive demand. Reserve well ahead, and request a riverfront site early.

Goose Creek RV Park & Campground

19 RV Sites

On the Columbia Plateau in the Big Bend country of north-central Washington, Goose Creek RV Park & Campground offers a well-positioned overnight and extended-stay option in the small community of Wilbur—just under 19 miles from the shores of Lake Roosevelt and the engineering spectacle of Grand Coulee Dam. Open year-round with full hookups, cabin rentals, laundry, and on-site dining, the park provides a complete stop for rigs of every configuration traveling the eastern Washington plateau country, and its walkable distance to downtown Wilbur's restaurants and shops adds a genuine small-town dimension to the overnight experience. Full hookup sites with city water, sewer, and 15/30/50-amp electrical service accommodate travelers of every type, and the spacious layout gives even large rigs room to settle in comfortably. Cabin rentals are available for guests who prefer not to set up, and a 24-hour laundromat handles the practical demands of travelers who've been on the road for multiple days. WiFi is available throughout the property, and the on-site restaurant provides a dining option without requiring a separate stop. Golf cart rentals and bike rentals offer guests additional ways to explore the grounds and the surrounding town. The park's year-round operation makes it accessible across all seasons of the eastern Washington landscape. The Columbia Plateau surrounding Wilbur is a landscape of extraordinary visual character that is dramatically underappreciated by travelers who push through eastern Washington on I-90 without veering into the plateau's interior. Vast wheat fields roll across basalt bench lands, punctuated by rimrock canyon walls and sagebrush draws that define the Columbia Basin. Night skies here are among the darkest in Washington State, and stargazing from the campground can produce a Milky Way experience that brings campers back for specifically astronomical reasons. The bird life of the plateau—raptors, meadowlarks, long-billed curlews, and migrating waterfowl—rewards even casual observation throughout the year. Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, formed by the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, is the primary outdoor destination for guests. The lake stretches 150 miles through the Columbia River canyon and offers swimming, boating, fishing, camping, and access to the Fort Spokane and Kettle Falls historic areas along its shore. Grand Coulee Dam itself—one of the most significant engineering projects in American history and the largest hydroelectric facility in the United States when completed—operates free public tours and presents a daily summer laser light show projected onto its face that draws visitors from across the region. Goose Creek RV Park & Campground is open year-round and serves an interesting combination of guests: travelers in transit across the Columbia Plateau, outdoor recreationists using Wilbur as a Lake Roosevelt base camp, and hunters and anglers working the region's productive upland game and fishing territory. A casino and golf course in the area provide additional entertainment options. The park's combination of full services, year-round operation, and proximity to Lake Roosevelt makes it a logical stop that rewards guests who take the time to explore the Big Bend country. Book a site and discover what the Columbia Plateau has been hiding.

Wolf Lodge Campground

48 RV Sites

Wolf Lodge Campground in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is situated at Wolf Lodge Bay on the eastern arm of Lake Coeur d'Alene, one of the most spectacularly beautiful mountain lakes in the American Northwest—and the site of one of the lower 48 states' most extraordinary wildlife spectacles: the winter congregation of hundreds of bald eagles at Wolf Lodge Bay, where kokanee salmon die after spawning and the eagles gather from November through January in numbers that have established this remote lake arm as one of the premier bald eagle viewing sites in the continental United States. The campground's lake position provides the kayaking, boating, paddling, and fishing access to a lake that national travel surveys consistently rank among America's most beautiful, in a protected bay setting that the main Coeur d'Alene waterfront's development pressure does not reach. The campground's facility delivers a comfortable outdoor recreation base with the services that Kootenai County lake camping requires: kayak rentals, paddle boat rentals, boating access, canoeing and kayaking on the lake, bike rentals with biking trails nearby, fishing, dining on site, a general store, propane fills, pavilion, dog park, laundry, showers, dump station, Wi-Fi, basketball, shuffleboard, corn hole, horseshoes, hiking trails, and swimming in Lake Coeur d'Alene's clear water collectively serve the outdoor recreation-centered guests whose Wolf Lodge Bay stays center on the lake and the surrounding Kootenai County forest terrain. The dining facility provides the social gathering space that lake camping communities naturally develop. Lake Coeur d'Alene's 25-mile length, 109 miles of shoreline, and the clarity produced by the surrounding Idaho Panhandle National Forest's protected watershed create a lake experience that consistently ranks in national surveys of America's most beautiful bodies of water. The lake's surface reflects the forested slopes of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains in a combination of mirror-calm morning light and afternoon whitecaps that makes the Wolf Lodge arm—the most protected and least developed section of the main lake—the most pristine and wildlife-abundant portion of this iconic Idaho lake. The St. Joe River's wild cutthroat trout waters and the surrounding Idaho Panhandle National Forest's trail systems extend the recreation beyond the lake. Downtown Coeur d'Alene, approximately 15 miles west of Wolf Lodge Bay via I-90, provides the resort amenities and commercial infrastructure of a year-round lake resort community—the Coeur d'Alene Resort's floating boardwalk and the lake's public beach front, the North Idaho College campus, the Sherman Avenue dining and shopping district, and the Centennial Trail's 62-mile bike path from Coeur d'Alene to Spokane collectively create the urban infrastructure that complements Wolf Lodge Bay's wild lake environment. Silverwood Theme Park in Athol and the Coeur d'Alene Casino in Worley provide the commercial entertainment complement to the natural recreation that defines the region's primary appeal. Wolf Lodge Campground operates seasonally from spring through fall for camping, with the eagle viewing season from November through January providing the most compelling natural spectacle available from the campground's location even outside the main camping season. Summer's warm lake temperatures, the June salmon fly hatch on the nearby North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River, and the long northern latitude summer days that stretch outdoor recreation into the evening hours together create the campground's most active recreation season. The spring and fall shoulder periods offer the quietest lake conditions and the most uncrowded kayaking access to Wolf Lodge Bay's wildlife-rich eastern shoreline.

Alpine Lakes Lodge

30 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites

Alpine Lakes Lodge in Easton, Washington, serves as a year-round mountain retreat at the crest of Snoqualmie Pass in Kittitas County — a property with a range of accommodation formats, from a fully equipped lodge capable of hosting 14 guests to private cabins, glamping sites, and RV spaces with water and electrical hookups in a setting where the Cascade Mountains define the view in every direction and the surrounding terrain delivers outdoor recreation across every season. Easton's position at the pass elevation means proximity to some of the most accessible mountain landscape in Washington State, within two hours of Seattle's population center and surrounded by the Wenatchee National Forest and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness for which the lodge takes its name. The lodge accommodates groups and families requiring solid-wall mountain lodging with plush amenities, while cabins provide more intimate versions of the same forested mountain stay. Glamping sites serve guests who want an outdoor-adjacent experience with shelter already in place, and RV pull-through sites with 30- and 50-amp electrical service and water hookups handle motorhomes and trailers needing full infrastructure in a mountain setting where self-contained capability is genuinely convenient. The property's multi-format approach makes it a practical choice for groups where different participants want different accommodation levels within a shared destination. Iron Horse State Park, following the former Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad grade across the Cascades, provides one of Washington's most distinctive trail experiences — a nearly level path following the historic rail corridor through the Snoqualmie Pass area, passing through the famous Snoqualmie Pass Train Tunnel (a two-mile bore through the Cascade crest), and providing a hiking and cycling route with extraordinary mountain views and historical infrastructure embedded in the landscape. Lake Easton State Park, adjacent to the lodge area, adds a lakefront recreation component with boating, fishing, and swimming in the glacially carved lake basin that serves as one of the pass region's primary recreational anchors. Swiftwater Cellars, a wine destination and gathering space at Suncadia resort in nearby Cle Elum, provides an unexpected level of culinary and viticultural sophistication within easy driving range of the lodge. The Suncadia area more broadly adds golf, spa facilities, and the full resort amenity suite to the regional day-trip options available from a Easton base camp. Alpine Lakes Lodge operates year-round, with summer delivering peak mountain recreation through the hiking and lake activity season and winter providing ski access at The Summit at Snoqualmie, one of the Seattle region's most accessible ski areas just minutes from the lodge. Fall foliage in the Kittitas County and Cascade foothills begins in late September and delivers sustained color through mid-October across the mixed conifer and deciduous terrain surrounding Easton. Reserve lodge and cabin accommodations well in advance for ski weekends and the summer hiking season, when Snoqualmie Pass access makes this one of the most sought-after mountain lodging corridors in Washington State.
