Rock Creek Park & Campground

101 RV Sites, 33 Tent Sites

Rock Creek Park & Campground in Stevenson, Washington, offers 101 RV sites and 33 tent sites in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Full-hookup and dry RV categories serve a county-operated campground in Rock Creek's wooded corridor. One hundred one back-in sites run in 30/50-amp full hookup and dry RV categories, the serviced sites carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Dry sites suit self-contained rigs at a lower rate. Thirty-three tent sites make this notably tent-friendly. Restrooms and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The grounds include a covered picnic shelter, a play structure, and open multi-use fields — the sort of space a county park provides and a commercial campground rarely does. Picnicking and birding run from the wooded creek corridor. Stevenson is the Skamania County seat, on the Washington shore of the Columbia River at 710 SW Rock Creek Drive. The Columbia River Gorge is one of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular and most accessible landscapes, and the campground sits inside it — waterfalls, hiking trails, wind sports, and the geological scenery of the Gorge are all immediately available. Summer is peak in the Gorge, with windsurfing and hiking season overlapping. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends, and note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig.

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.

Cougar RV Park & Campground

27 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Cougar RV Park & Campground in Cougar, Washington, offers 27 RV sites, five cabins, and three tent sites at the base of Mount St. Helens on the Lewis River's Yale Reservoir, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup pull-throughs join water-and-electric back-ins in a forested mountain setting. Twenty-seven sites run in water-and-electric back-in and full-hookup pull-through categories carrying 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Five cabins and three tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. All types of RVs are welcome — the park answers questions directly at [email protected]. Pets are welcome. A pavilion fills the grounds, with fishing, birding, and planned activities from the property. Snowboarding, off-roading, and boating are all nearby. The position is genuinely dramatic. The campground sits directly on the south flank of Mount St. Helens — the active stratovolcano that reshaped southwest Washington on May 18, 1980, and has since become one of the most actively studied volcanic environments in the world. The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, the Ape Cave lava tube, and the Lewis River system's fishing and water recreation are all immediately accessible. Summer is peak for monument access and the Lewis River. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends.

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. Sites come in three categories — full-hookup back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric, standard back-ins, and camper-only back-ins. Maximum rig length isn't published, so call with your dimensions before booking a long coach. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, on-site dining, a bar, and portable toilets in the outer areas cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. A boat ramp, walking trails, and river frontage put guests on the water for salmon, steelhead, and trout — anglers fish right off the riverbank or by boat — with hiking, boating, and wine tasting nearby. 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.

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. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join kayak rentals, walking trails, and a general store between two volcanoes. 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.

Mayfield Lake Resort & Marina

21 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites, 10 Motel Rooms

Mayfield Lake Resort & Marina in Mossyrock, WA, offers full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp power, water, and sewer, alongside 31 cabin and motel rooms and 7 tent sites. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills and exchange, a recreation center, a pavilion, and WiFi cover the essentials, and the cabins and rooms give guests without a rig a place to stay. Contact the resort for site count and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here — worth a call before booking a long coach. The marina is the anchor: boat docks, a boat ramp, and direct lake access for boating, fishing, water sports, kayaking, and swimming, with a playground, horseshoes, and picnicking on the grounds. Mossyrock sits at the south end of Lake Mayfield, a Cowlitz River reservoir in Lewis County where a forested shoreline and calm water sit within view of two Pacific Northwest volcanoes — Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens. A state park is nearby, and skiing in winter. Rates for sites, cabins, rooms, and tent spots are on the booking page. Confirm your rig's fit when you reserve.

Toutle River RV Resort

212 RV Sites, 21 Tent Sites

Toutle River RV Resort in Castle Rock, Washington, offers 212 full-hookup RV sites and 21 tent sites on the Toutle River, with 30 and 50-amp service in back-in, pull-in, and pull-through categories. A pool, hot tub, recreation center, and private river access sit 10 minutes from Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Two hundred twelve sites run in RV back-in, RV pull-in, and RV pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp. Three straightforward categories keep booking simple. Twenty-one tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a recreation center, clubhouse, pavilion, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, a playground, dog park, and snack bar filling the grounds. Scenic trails run from the park down to the riverbank for fishing, wildlife viewing, or a quiet walk. Pets are welcome. The river position is the property's real asset. The lower Toutle canyon gives private access to the confluence with the Cowlitz, widely regarded as one of the premier fishing holes in Washington State, while the upper drainage leads directly to Mount St. Helens — the visitor center and the blast zone are 10 minutes from the entrance, which is as close as any full-service resort gets to the most consequential volcanic event in modern American history. Summer is peak in southwest Washington, with the steelhead and salmon runs drawing anglers in the shoulders. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

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.

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.

Alpine Lakes Lodge

30 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites

Alpine Lakes Lodge in Easton, WA, offers 30 RV sites, 7 cabins, and 8 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in three types — water-and-electric pull-thrus at 30-amp and 50-amp, and dry campsites. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Pull-thru layouts mean no unhitching. A bathhouse with showers, a recreation center, a pavilion, and a community fire pit cover the essentials, with cabins and a lodge that sleeps 14 for larger groups. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. ATVs and quads are not permitted on the property. A beach, a fishing pier, boat docks, a pond, and lake access support swimming, boating, paddling, paddle boats, and fishing, with walking trails, hiking, and biking from the grounds. The lodge also hosts weddings. Easton sits near the crest of Snoqualmie Pass in Kittitas County, on the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, with off-road trails and a national park within reach. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Pass-season weekends fill fast in both summer and winter.

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.

Umpqua's Last Resort

15 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 1 Glamping Site, 1 RV Rental + Campsite Package, 2 Vintage RV Rentals

Umpqua's Last Resort in Idleyld Park, Oregon, offers 18 full-hookup back-in RV sites, four cabins, and a glamping site along the North Umpqua River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Super, deluxe, and petite back-in categories size the site to the rig, with kayak rentals, a pavilion, and Umpqua National Forest at the door. Eighteen back-in sites span deluxe, petite, and super categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Sizing by rig class rather than amenity tier is genuinely fair — the petite category right-sizes for vans and small trailers rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. Four cabins, a glamping site, and retro RV rentals round out the lodging. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side. Kayak rentals put you straight on the water for canoeing, kayaking, boating, water sports, and fishing, with hiking running in every direction from the property and offroading nearby. Pets are welcome. The North Umpqua is one of the great rivers of the Pacific Northwest — a fly-fishing-only stretch for summer steelhead that anglers travel across the country for, with water clear enough to sight-fish and a canyon of old-growth Douglas fir framing it. The North Umpqua Trail runs 79 miles alongside, Toketee and Watson Falls are close, and Crater Lake National Park is a reasonable drive east up Highway 138. Summer steelhead season and the Crater Lake window drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for July through September.
