What to do
Visit Palouse Falls: Located near Tucannon River RV Park, the 198-foot waterfall offers dramatic views. "Super friendly laid back and old-school owners. Very quiet spot to use as a base to visit The Falls and other attractions in the area. Route 261 coming in from the NW passing by Palouse Falls and the town of Starbuck is EXTREMELY curvy and steep but absolutely beautiful," advises one camper.
Golf at nearby courses: The Sage Hills Golf Club & RV Resort combines camping with direct golf access. "Immaculately kept RV sites and 20 yards from teeing off. Full hookups, propane refill and a pool. Clubhouse serves food and does have full service bar during golfing hours (9-5)," notes a visitor.
Explore wine country: Multiple RV parks provide bases for wine tasting excursions. "Walking distance to downtown wineries and restaurants," reports one camper about Blue Valley RV Park in Walla Walla. Another camper adds, "Go to Walla Walla's main street area where there are far more wine tasting rooms than you can do in a day."

Tips from RVers
Level sites matter: Site conditions vary between parks. "Some of the most level sites we've stayed in," reports a Tucannon River RV Park visitor, while at RV Resort Four Seasons, a camper cautions, "The sites are annoyingly un-level. Make sure you have pads and a septic ramp."
Big rig access considerations: Some parks accommodate larger vehicles better than others. "They have a very wide road through the park which is nice and long pull-through sites," notes a Coyote Run RV Park camper, adding "They only have 50 amp & we needed 30 but mgr let me borrow an adapter."
Hookup locations: The placement of utilities can create challenges. "The utilities are towards the back of the pad, so I had to use two sewer hoses to get from the main black tank on our Brinklely G model," reports a Blue Valley RV Park visitor.
