Ekstroms Stage Station

26 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites

Ekstroms Stage Station in Clinton, MT, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabins, and 4 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in three categories — back-in 20-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 50-amp — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, on-site dining, and a community fire pit cover the essentials, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. Creek frontage runs the property, with volleyball, basketball, fishing, hiking, biking, and birding. Clinton sits where Rock Creek gathers itself before meeting the Clark Fork — a confluence every Montana fly fisherman knows by name — about 20 minutes east of Missoula. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Rock Creek's salmonfly hatch in late spring is the busiest stretch of the year here, so reserve well ahead.

Driftwood RV Resort - Boardman

110 RV Sites

Driftwood RV Resort in Boardman, Oregon, offers 110 full-hookup pull-through RV sites two miles from the Columbia River, with 30 and 50-amp service. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with a laundry, showers, playground, and dog park in the high desert river corridor. One hundred ten sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp. A single-category, all-pull-through layout is genuinely practical for a highway park — no backing after a long driving day, no guessing about what you booked, and every guest gets the same spec. Confirm length limits with the resort for your rig. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A playground and dog park fill the grounds, with boating nearby and productive birding along the river corridor. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which suits a property built as a comfortable overnight and extended-stay base rather than a destination. Pets are welcome. Boardman sits where the Columbia carves through the eastern Cascade rain shadow — a stretch that trades the basalt gorge scenery of the western Columbia River Gorge for a wider, windier, agriculturally intensive landscape with its own character. The SAGE Center in town focuses on sustainable agriculture and energy and serves as an official Oregon Welcome Center, and the Columbia River Heritage Trail offers scenic biking along the water. Demand runs steadily on I-84 traffic and agricultural work stays rather than a tourist season. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable high desert conditions. Reserve ahead for holiday travel, and ask about monthly rates.

Moose Crossing RV Park

30 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Moose Crossing RV Park in Mackay, ID, offers 30 full-hookup RV sites and 2 cabins, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The park is rated big rig friendly within its 40-foot limit. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a pavilion, and a dump station handle the essentials, and the two cabins give non-RV travelers a place to land. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The setting is the amenity. The park sits in mountain country where wildlife watching is a daily event, with off-road riding close by. Mackay sits in the Lost River Valley beneath Idaho's most dramatic mountain terrain — the Lost River Range, crowned by Borah Peak, the state's highest summit, and a string of neighboring peaks that form a skyline unmatched in the northern Rockies. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. The high-country season is short — reserve ahead for summer and for fall hunting weeks.

Burns RV Park

52 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites, 1 Yurt, 1 Tipi

Burns RV Park in Oregon offers 52 RV sites, two cabins, eight tent sites, and two tipis and yurts at 4,150 feet in the high desert, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 130 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup categories at both amperages join a 30-amp water-and-electric tier and a double dry camping spot. Fifty-two sites span 30-amp full hookup, 50-amp full hookup, 30/50-amp full hookup, 30-amp water-and-electric, and double dry camping categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 130 feet. One hundred thirty feet is exceptional, and the double dry camping spot gives self-contained rigs a low-cost option. Accessible sites are available. Two cabins, eight tent sites, and two tipis and yurts round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A dog park, tennis, horseshoes, and picnicking fill the grounds, with a creek on the property, wine and beer tasting nearby, and planned activities through the season. Birding is exceptional here. Pets are welcome. Burns sits on US-20 at the eastern edge of the Harney Basin, a vast open landscape unlike anything on the usual Pacific Northwest circuit. Steens Mountain, the Alvord Desert, the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Diamond Craters, the Peter French Round Barn, BLM wild horse corrals, and hot springs are all within reach. Spring migration at Malheur and summer draw the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead.

Alderwood RV Resort

101 RV Sites

Alderwood RV Resort in Mead, Washington, offers 101 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service just north of Spokane, open all year. Deluxe back-in, premium pull-through, and deluxe pull-through categories join standard back-in and dry camp sites, with a recreation center, walking trails, and dog park. One hundred one sites span standard back-in, back-in deluxe, pull-thru deluxe, premium pull-thru, and dry camp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 30 and 50-amp. The dry camp tier gives self-contained rigs a lower rate — a useful option that many resorts do not offer. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. Check-in is 1pm and checkout 11am; contact the office about early arrivals or late departures, as fees may apply. A recreation center, walking trails, playground, and dog park with fenced pet areas fill the grounds. Skiing, a state park, and wine and beer tasting are all nearby, and the birding through the surrounding evergreen corridors is productive. Pets are welcome. Mead sits where the forested northern fringe of Washington's second-largest city gives way to the evergreen corridors and agricultural valleys of rural Spokane County — close enough to the city for dining, medical care, and the airport, far enough out for genuine natural surroundings. Year-round operation and nearby skiing make this viable well outside the summer window. Summer draws the heaviest demand, with the winter months serving snow travelers and extended stays. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.

Cascade Marina & Resort

5 RV Sites

Cascade Marina & Resort in Moses Lake, WA, offers 5 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Every site is a full-hookup back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. The resort is rated big rig friendly within its 40-foot limit. Pets are welcome. One extra vehicle is allowed per site, with a nightly fee charged on arrival for each additional one. The marina is what sets this property apart: it's the only place on Moses Lake offering on-the-water gasoline, which makes it an anchor for boaters working this stretch of the Columbia Basin. Boat docks and a fishing pier put guests directly on the water for fishing, boating, swimming, and birding. Moses Lake sits in central Washington's Columbia Basin, and the resort is directly on the waterfront. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Five waterfront sites at the only fuel dock on the lake means summer books out early.
