"I really like this place, but a lot of it depends on which level site you want to spring for. I’ll start with the cons: camp sites are pretty close together."
"I usually HATE RV resorts due to the fact that many people do not honor quiet hours, the sites are too small, and the grounds are unkept. This was not the case for Smokiam."
"Not too crowded in the area yet and very close to home. Would like that they didn’t give the premier sites to tent only, but oh well !"
"Full hookups at all sites. Staff very friendly and helpful. Columbia river right there."
"The tent spots are spacious and green, and the amenities are great. Campers are within a few miles of many grocery stores, and a large Walmart, so stocking up on supplies is easy."
$46 - $51 / night

"A hidden gem near moses lake, wa. Easy to find from I-90. Very friendly staff. Good lake for fishing trout. Definitely will go back."
"We checked in on a Friday and spoke with them about going to a show at the Gorge. They swung by our campsite the next morning and gave us a big umbrella to take with us for shade at the Gorge!"
"Has shaded camping sites my children love swimming in the pool to cool off after warm day easy access to the campground they also had a play area"
$7 - $25 / night
"Where it gets weird, phone on Dyrt goes to the city of Soap Lake, closed. (It’s 430). All signs say this belongs to Soap Lake Resort & Spa. No answer on phone, yet open until 6."
"This lake is purported to have healing powers, so why not stop for a night and take a dip? There were just a few sites, right up on the lake with power and water. The shower house was a bit grungy."
"I was looking for somewhere to stay near the gorge that wasn't crazy and loud with campers. While this is an RV park, they let us choose wherever we wanted to set up tents."

RangerWith gas prices out of control this was a perfect weekend getaway right off highway 17. Immaculately kept RV sites and 20 yards from teeing off. Full hookups, propane refill and a pool.

ScoutGorgeous 2 parks 1/2 mile apart. The Marina Park and this one. Gorgeous plush grass, immaculate kept parks. Pull throughs are nice for Big Rigs. Columbia River and launches, great staff, beautiful views, lots to see and do from wineries, fishing, biking, motorcycling, etc. 1 day lead to 5 days.
GuideThis was our first visit to an RV “resort” and it wasn’t horrible. MarDon has lots of nice amenities but boy is it crowded. If you don’t mind crowds and like the convenience of resort camping MarDon is a good choice.
(Disclaimer: I prefer boondocking and getting as far away from people as possible, so read this review with that in mind.)
MarDon Resort sits on Potholes Reservoir about 16 miles southwest of Moses Lake. The reservoir is massive and offers excellent fishing and water sports. Central Washington gets dry and hot in the summer so come prepared.
The Resort has been around since the 1970s and offers a lot of amenities: full hookup sites, tent sites, monthly rates, marina, restaurant & bar, swimming beach, mini golf, boat & golf cart rentals and more.
TravelerEven though 99% of the time we boondock, we’ve stayed at this campground twice now. Once in the summer months and now in November. This last stay was FCFS. There isn’t any water hookups any longer for winter but there are many sights that have electric and dump hookups that are still operational. The camp itself is very well maintained. They are all drive through spots with a a picnic table on a concrete pad connected to a small gravel area that has a fire ring. A lot of open grassy area and the sites are definitely spaced far enough apart you don’t feel you’re on top of each other. Even in November, there’s groundskeepers maintaining the sites, leaf blowing, etc. would not hesitate to stay here again!
GuidePark like setting. Pull throughs are right on top of each other. Recommend back in. They water every night, you have to pull everything in, every night. Water came out brown each morning with out a filter.
TravelerArrived around 2pm to the Douglas Creek Trailhead. The 8 miles of road H to get to Douglas Creek Rec area is gravel, primitive -no signs. Hiked the canyon for ~3miles. Lots of groundhogs and birds. Campsites are roughly half mile from the parking lot for hiking. The gravel road here is much narrower, and has more aggressive rocks/stones. Between the parking lot and campsites several large puddles/ponds took over the road. Campsites have pull throughs for RV’s. I chose the third site I saw, steep downhill to the fire pit, but close walk to the creek. The grounds are minimal, no services (no toilets, picnic tables, hookups, trash bins etc). Had no cell service. Weather was in the upper 60’s, no clouds. Perfect getaway.
