Sumpter RV Park

26 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Sumpter RV Park in Sumpter, OR, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites and 2 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. The categories spell out exactly what you're getting: full-hookup 20/30-amp back-ins and pull-thrus, full-hookup 20/30/50-amp back-ins and pull-thrus, and 30-amp options. Sites carry water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. The grounds are gated. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, firewood, propane fills and exchange, RV storage, and a dump station cover everything else, and pets are welcome. The valley is the recreation. Gold panning is a genuine local pastime here, alongside mountain biking, hiking, fishing, boating, and off-road riding, with creek, lake, and forest all at the doorstep. Sumpter sits at the foot of the Elkhorn Range in eastern Oregon's gold country, where the dredge and the narrow-gauge railway still stand as reminders of the valley's mining boom. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. The mountain season is short — reserve ahead for summer and for the Sumpter flea market weekends.

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.

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.

Sun Outdoors Bend

118 RV Sites

Sun Outdoors Bend in Bend, Oregon, offers 118 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 130 feet — the most generous length allowance in this tranche. Sites run in tiered Copper, Bronze, Gold, and Platinum categories, with a hot tub and sauna, fitness center, pickleball, and on-site dining in Central Oregon's high desert. One hundred eighteen sites span Copper water-and-electric, Bronze, Gold, and Platinum full-hookup, and full-hookup pull-through categories, all carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 130 feet. The tiering makes it easy to match site quality to budget. A general store, propane fills and exchange, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, and a business center serves guests working remotely. Note that a resort fee applies. The property was formerly Crown Villa RV Resort. Amenities are resort-grade. A hot tub and sauna, fitness center, and clubhouse run year-round, with sports courts, pickleball, and tennis outdoors and on-site dining and a snack bar for meals. Walking trails and a dog park run the grounds along a creek, with live music and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Bend sits in Deschutes County at the Cascades' eastern edge, in what is arguably the outdoor recreation capital of the Pacific Northwest. Mount Bachelor's skiing and snowboarding, the Deschutes River's whitewater rafting and fly fishing, Smith Rock's world-class climbing, and the Cascade Lakes Highway all converge here. Summer carries the heaviest demand, with winter drawing skiers to a resort that stays open. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Lewis & Clark Campground

94 RV Sites, 9 Tent Sites

Lewis and Clark Campground in North Bonneville, Washington, offers 94 RV sites and nine tent sites in the Columbia River Gorge, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service in both full-hookup and partial categories. Set among established old timber with mountain views, minutes from Beacon Rock and the gorge's waterfall corridor. Ninety-four sites span 30/50-amp full-hookup back-in, 30/20-amp partial back-in, and 30/20-amp partial pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, with fire pits and picnic tables. Check your tier before booking — the partial categories carry water and electric but not sewer at the site, and the dump station covers the rest. Nine tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Most sites have partial shade from mature trees, with the mix of sun and shade varying by location. Walking trails run the property, with picnicking on the grounds. Boating, a golf course, mountains, rivers, and a state park are all nearby. Pets are welcome. The Columbia River Gorge has been a National Scenic Area since 1986, and this stretch is why — the river cutting through the Cascades in a corridor of waterfalls, basalt cliffs, and old-growth Douglas fir. Beacon Rock and its trail system are close, with Multnomah Falls and the Historic Columbia River Highway a short drive west. Summer is peak in the gorge, with spring waterfall flows and fall color drawing strong shoulder seasons. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Rimrock Lake Resort

30 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Rimrock Lake Resort in Naches, WA, offers 30 RV sites and 5 cabins, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet.

The resort is open year-round, and each season genuinely delivers something different. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, and a dump station cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. Boat docks, a boat ramp, and walking trails put guests on Rimrock Lake for boating, fishing, and swimming, with hiking and birding in the surrounding forest. Skiing and snowboarding are close in winter. Naches sits on Highway 12 at Rimrock Lake, 12 miles east of White Pass Ski Area in the Tieton River canyon of Yakima County — the Cascades' eastern slope, where maritime forest gives way to the rain-shadow country of the Columbia Plateau. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Summer lake season and winter ski weekends both fill the resort.

Crescent Lake Resort

21 Cabins

Crescent Lake Resort in Crescent, OR, offers 21 uniquely furnished cabins on the shore of Crescent Lake. Be clear on what this is before booking: the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact the resort directly if you're traveling in a rig. This is a seasonal operation — confirm current operating dates when you reserve. A general store, WiFi, and on-site dining serve guests, and pets are welcome. The Pines Bar & Grill anchors the property, with a marina, boat docks, and a boat ramp alongside equipment rentals including motorboats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. Fishing, boating, swimming, paddle boarding, and hiking fill the days. Crescent Lake sits within the Deschutes National Forest in Klamath County, roughly 18 miles east of Crescent and 37 miles southeast of Oakridge, in the high Cascades where the lake stays cold and clear all season and the forest runs unbroken in every direction. Rates for the cabins are on the booking page. Twenty-one cabins in a short Cascade summer means booking well ahead — and call about RV accommodation before you tow.

Oregon Outback RV Park

11 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Oregon Outback RV Park in Lakeview, Oregon, offers 11 RV sites and a tent site on the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Pull-through and no-hookup back-in categories serve a spacious, family-owned property at 4,800 feet with views of Abert Rim. Eleven sites run in pull-through and no-hookup back-in configurations, the serviced sites carrying water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups, though a dump station is available. A tent site covers simpler camping. Laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. A playground serves families, and the setting does the rest. Abert Rim rises directly from the alkali flat of Lake Abert's western shore — the longest exposed fault escarpment in North America at over 30 miles long and 2,500 feet tall, a geological display that recalibrates your sense of the Great Basin's vertical scale. Fishing, hiking, biking, birding, and hot springs are all accessible from the area, with skiing nearby in season. The elevation delivers crisp, clear air and genuinely dark night skies, which the Outback Byway's distance from any major urban center sustains. Lake County packs more geological and wildlife interest into its landscape than almost anywhere else in Oregon. The park serves the high desert season, with summer travel on the byway the peak and fall bringing clear conditions and quiet. With 11 sites, reserve ahead for summer weekends.

Whispering Pines RV Campground

71 RV Sites

Whispering Pines RV Campground in Cle Elum, Washington, offers 71 RV sites across 60 acres in the Cascade foothills, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 120 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. River back-in and full-hookup categories in both water-and-electric and water-electric-sewer versions join pull-through tiers, with a clubhouse, beach, and general store. Seventy-one sites span back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp, back-in water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, pull-thru water-and-electric 30/50-amp, pull-thru water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, and river back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 120 feet. The category names spell out exactly which utilities you get, which is unusually plain and genuinely useful. One hundred twenty feet accommodates anything on the road. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. A lake, pond, river, and beach support fishing and swimming, with a clubhouse, walking trails, playground, and dog park filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Directions: from westbound I-90 take Exit 84 and turn left at the stop sign, two-tenths of a mile to the park; from eastbound, Exit 84 then east on 1st Street to Oakes Avenue and right. The store runs 9am onward May through September. Cle Elum sits at the eastern approach to Snoqualmie Pass, where western Washington's evergreens give way to Kittitas County ponderosa. Summer is peak. Reserve well ahead.

Lake Sena Campground at Circle 8 Ranch

49 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

Lake Sena Campground at Circle 8 Ranch in Cle Elum, Washington, offers 49 RV sites and eight tent sites across 70 acres of wooded and lakeside terrain, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Lakeside view back-ins join 30-amp and 50-amp categories at a working ranch turned camping destination. Forty-nine back-in sites carry water and electric on 30-amp and 50-amp service, sized to 75 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. The lakeside view category is worth requesting. Eight tent sites and cabins round out the accommodations. Restrooms, showers, portable toilets, and RV storage handle the practical side. The property's character is the draw. A 3,200-square-foot wooden dance hall anchors the grounds, with shade-dappled trails through the timber and a private lake with a sandy swimming area. A recreation center, walking trails, picnicking, swimming, and birding fill out the rest. This reflects the independent character of eastern Washington's agricultural communities rather than the corporate outdoor resort model, which is precisely why guests choose it. A golf course, river, and boating are nearby. Pets are welcome. Cle Elum sits at 651 Lund Lane in the Kittitas County foothills, where the eastern slope of the Cascades transitions to the drier, sunnier climate of the Columbia Plateau — reliably better weather than the west side. Summer is peak. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Riffe Lake Campground

35 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 13 Tent Sites

Riffe Lake Campground in Mossyrock, Washington, offers 35 RV sites, five cabins, and 13 tent sites on Riffe Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet.

Thirty-five back-in sites run in 30-amp, 30/50-amp, 30-amp water-and-electric, and 50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Group sites and rustic sites supplement the main inventory. Five cabins and 13 tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The lake carries the recreation. Kayak rentals are available on site, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking from the shoreline. Walking trails, hiking, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, and a playground fill the grounds. The position is genuinely rare. This privately owned Lewis County property sits within striking distance of both Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens — a double-header of volcanic landmarks that is nearly impossible to match anywhere else in the continental United States. Guests can day-trip to one, then the other, from a single base on a scenic reservoir. Summer is decisively the season in the Cascades, when both mountain roads are reliably open and the lake is warm. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and check road status at both parks when planning shoulder-season stays.

Camp Kalama RV Park

82 RV Sites, 26 Tent Sites

Camp Kalama RV Park in Kalama, WA, offers 82 RV sites and 26 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service.

Kalama sits at the confluence of the Kalama and Columbia Rivers just off Interstate 5 in Cowlitz County, in the green valley below Mount St. Helens where the Columbia Gorge basalt gives way. Golf is close. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Salmon and steelhead runs set the calendar here — call ahead with your rig dimensions and your dates.
