Coyote Run RV Park
Clean & Well-run
Just barely outside of "downtown" with easy access from W260 or US395. It can be a bit noisy, as it sits inside the 260 on-ramp to 395. Multiple shower units, and laundry facilities. Definitely recommend reservations. Sits 1/2 a block away from a Dollar General and an Ace Hardware. They also have a book & DVD library in the main office.
The pull-thru sites are a bit close in the middle section. Two opposite rigs share utility hookup access (individual though) with the door side having a much larger space sharing opposing patios. The back in spots around the edge seemed more spacious but not as deep.
Many full-timers and roaming contractors. Dogs are welcome, and they offer a mil/vet discount. Camp host was really personable and has been there quite a few years.
I'd definitely stay again.

TravelerRingold Springs Camping
Big empty field with plenty of space for campers of any size. They have a vaulted toilet available if needed. The sign says you must register but there is no way to register. Discovery pass required. It’s well off the beaten path, in the middle of farms. There is a river & boat launch that plenty of people occupied but unless you go that way, you’d never know they are there.

Lush Lawns, River Views, and Stunning Sunsets in Boardman, OR
Reviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com
If you are navigating the Pacific Northwest corridor or routing toward Glacier National Park along Interstate 84, Boardman Marina& RV Campground is an absolute breath of fresh air. Situated right along the shores of the Columbia River (Lake Umatilla), this park provides an exceptionally scenic, vibrant oasis in Eastern Oregon. During our recent cross-country trek, we booked Site Circle B-24, and it instantly became one of the prettiest waterside stops of our trip.
Campground Setting& Site Quality (Circle B-24)
The immediate standout feature when pulling into this park is just how remarkably lush and green everything is.
- Manicured Grounds: Unlike many high-desert stops in the region, the campground is covered in acres of super green, well-kept lawn. It gives the entire park an open, park-like feel that is easy on the eyes and great underfoot.
- Mature Shade Trees: The property is filled with large, mature shade trees that provide fantastic relief from the summer sun while adding character and privacy to the loops.
- Site Setup: Circle B-24 offered plenty of breathing room, easy hookups, and a level pad. Navigating the circles is smooth, and having wide grassy areas between sites makes relaxing outside your camper door genuinely peaceful.
The Columbia River Experience
The campground sits directly on the banks of Lake Umatilla, turning a routine overnight stay into a true waterfront retreat.
- Riverfront Action: Being right on the water brings great sightseeing opportunities. One of the highlights of our stay was sitting outside the rig and watching a large river cruise boat glide slowly down the Columbia River.
- Family Atmosphere: The energy throughout the park is wonderful. Lots of families were out enjoying the lawns, walking along the shoreline paths, and taking advantage of the marina setting.
- World-Class Sunsets: As evening rolled in, the west-facing river views delivered an incredible show. The sunset reflecting over the wide expanse of the Columbia River was stunning and the ideal backdrop for winding down after a long day of driving.
The Hitched4fun Verdict
Boardman Marina& RV Campground combines pristine green park grounds with unbeatable river views. Whether you are boating, letting kids run free on the grass, or just looking for a calm, scenic rest stop right off the highway, Site Circle B-24 delivers everything a camper could want. We will definitely keep this on our preferred list for future Northwest runs.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars— Highly Recommended by the entire Hitched4fun.com crew!

Coyote Run RV Park
LOUD, LOUD, LOUD
CG is yards away from the highway on-ramp. Our rig would shake as semis accelerated past. Not to mention the general highway noise. Additionally, there’s a 24 hr fueling stop near the CG, so all night long there are trucks coming and going. CG was tidy, folks were nice, bathrooms were clean-ish. Did I mention it was loud? If you have to stay here avoid east perimeter spots 60-72, they are closest to the highway. I will not stay here again.

Another great COE campground
Spent three nights here in site 43 which had full hook ups. Beautiful campground with grass everywhere and spaces are far apart from your neighbor. Nice clean showers. Right on the Snake river. About 12 to 14 miles to the nearest town for laundry, groceries, etc. Half price with the America, the beautiful pass.

Quiet and nice
We’re the only ones here although it’s only 3:30 on a Wednesday. We have a spot right in the water, looking forward to a nice stay. It appears to be free. But we just got here. I’ll edit after we spend the night. There were a few looong trains during the night, across the river but I kinda liked them.
Guide to Kennewick
Tri-Cities area RV campgrounds maintain space for large motorhomes with pull-through access at most facilities. Summer temperatures frequently reach 95-100°F in Kennewick, making shade and air conditioning essential from July through September. Sites along the Columbia and Yakima Rivers offer water access, though swimming conditions vary by location.
What to do
Wine tasting tours: Several campgrounds in Prosser provide strategic access to over 30 local wineries. Wine Country RV Park serves as an ideal base for wine enthusiasts, with "a shuttle van" available for transportation between tasting rooms according to camper Russ H., who notes the park is "amazing" for those exploring local wineries.
River recreation: The Columbia River provides multiple water access points for boating and fishing. Umatilla Marina & RV Park offers "boat-in" access with "a nice park and swimming area for kids," according to reviewer Jill T. The location includes "a large parking lot and spots to clean fish" for anglers.
Golfing excursions: Horn Rapids RV Resort sits "across from a major golf course" as noted by Rachel A., making it convenient for golf enthusiasts. The park's "golf course quality" landscaping extends the golfing atmosphere into the camping experience.
What campers like
Private bathroom facilities: Horn Rapids RV Resort provides exceptional bathroom amenities, with Matthew S. noting that "hot water showers, toilets, water at your site and power for 50/30/20 amp cords" are all available. The facilities are consistently rated highly for cleanliness.
Swimming options: Several parks offer pools for relief from summer heat. Columbia Sun RV Resort includes a "heated pool and hot tub" that Jeff M. describes as part of the "all the amenities and activities you want in a semi-urban RC resort / glamping get away."
Level sites for easy setup: Beach RV Park provides well-maintained sites with minimal setup challenges. Bud S. found the park "quiet and shaded right by the water" with helpful staff who went "way above and beyond" when the office was closed.
What you should know
Long-term resident considerations: Many RV parks in the area have significant numbers of permanent or seasonal residents. At Coyote Run RV Park, Kristen S. observed "several long-term residents due to the skirting around so many of the RVs," though most maintain well-kept sites.
Highway noise impacts: Traffic noise affects several campgrounds near major roadways. At Umatilla Marina & RV Park, reviewer Judy T. noted "the truck traffic over the I-82 bridge was noisy" and Annie B. mentioned "you will see it and hear it" regarding the freeway.
Reservation requirements: Wine Country RV Park maintains strict reservation policies, especially during peak wine tourism seasons. Kristin S. rated the "Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5" but noted seasonal capacity varies significantly.
Tips for camping with families
Water play opportunities: Umatilla Marina provides dedicated swimming areas suitable for children. Michelle M. states "It's nice down by the water you can swim or fish," making it appropriate for family water recreation during summer months.
Playground access: Columbia Sun RV Resort offers "a small playground and basketball hoop for kids" according to Kristin S., providing entertainment options when not exploring the region. The facilities complement the pool area for comprehensive family activities.
Pet restrictions: Weight limitations for pets exist at some Kennewick area RV parks. Wine Country RV Park has a "40 POUND LIMIT" for dogs according to Michael C., who noted these restrictions apply even for traveling families with larger pets.
Tips from RVers
Adapter requirements: Electrical hookup compatibility varies between parks. At Beach RV Park, one guest appreciated that staff "loaned a 30 to 50 amp adapter so we could hook up our 30 amp plug" when needed, preventing potential power access issues.
Pull-through navigation: Coyote Run RV Park receives high marks for accessibility, with Jerold H. describing "pull through sites that were easy to navigate" and noting the campground has "one loop with back in sites on the perimeter and pull-through sites on the 'infield'."
Site privacy considerations: While most rv campgrounds near Kennewick, Washington feature standard spacing, some offer better separation. At Umatilla Marina & RV Park, Ray V. noted his "28' class C with a toad" fit comfortably as "the pull their site was able to accommodate both vehicles with a problem."
