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.

Soap Lake sits in the Columbia Basin of central Washington, a mineral-rich lake of a type found in only one other place in the world, with Dry Falls, Steamboat Rock, and Banks Lake nearby. Rates for every site type are on the booking page. The hot tub sites are limited and go first.

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.

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.

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.

Clear Creek Station RV Park

42 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites

Clear Creek Station RV Park in Cascade, ID, offers 42 RV sites and 16 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 42 feet. Sites come in five categories — back-in 30-amp, back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, back-in 50-amp water-and-electric, and pull-thru 30-amp water-and-electric. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric. A bathhouse with showers, on-site dining, a bar, and cabins for guests without a rig cover the rest. The location is the recreation: the park sits 8 miles south of Cascade on US-55 in the Payette River corridor, where Long Valley's meadows and ponderosa pine, the Payette's whitewater, and Cascade Lake and Tamarack Resort's ski infrastructure make this one of Idaho's better year-round outdoor bases. Off-road riding, a river, and golf are all close. Valley County runs cold and clear in every season, and the park's bar and kitchen are a genuine convenience after a day on the water or the hill. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Summer river season and winter at Tamarack both fill the park — reserve ahead.

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.

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.

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.

Margie's Riverside RV Park

34 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Margie's Riverside RV Park in Riverside, Washington, offers 34 full-hookup RV sites and five tent sites on the Okanogan River, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. All RV sites are pull-through — a real convenience for travelers on the State Route 20 corridor — with laundry, showers, and a community fire pit on site. Thirty-four pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 40 feet, in full-hookup and water-and-electric configurations. Five tent sites cover simpler camping. Restrooms, showers, laundry, and WiFi handle longer stays. Two vehicles are permitted per site; additional vehicles are charged $5 per night on arrival. Note the 40-foot limit and 30-amp service before booking a larger rig. The river frontage is the setting. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, horseshoes fill the on-site recreation, and boating is available nearby. This is a quiet riverside park rather than a resort — the cottonwood gallery forest along the bank and the sound of moving water are the amenities. Pets are welcome. Riverside sits in the Okanogan Valley of north-central Washington, between the arid valley floor's apple and cherry orchards and the forested highlands of the Okanogan National Forest. The State Route 20 North Cascades Highway corridor runs from here into the mountains, and the Methow Valley's outdoor recreation programming is accessible along the river corridor. The park serves both through-travelers on the North Cascades route and guests staying for the valley's orchard season and outdoor recreation. Summer is peak, and the North Cascades Highway's seasonal closure shapes traffic — check the pass status when planning a shoulder-season trip.
