Check Availability"First off, my type of camping is getting as far away from other people as possible. That is absolutely not going to happen when you are at the Gorge, but that is not why you camp at the Gorge."
"They have so much available that you could show up completely empty handed and end up with a full camp set up, they have a store stocked full of supplies, a shower area, many bathroom stations and you"
"They also have a few cabins to stay in. Our site was near the playground which was central to the camp ground."
"Need to book a year in advance. Super nice sites on the Yakima river. My parents rented a cabin and we're wowwed! Nice folks and awesome scenery. Power and water to tent site."

"You’re not going to find the 5 star accommodation like some state parks but it’s a great value. Not too crowded in the area yet and very close to home."
"It can be crowded on the weekends, but many of the sites in the willows provide a good deal of privacy. This place is a staple in eastern Washington."
"There is a playground for the kids along with a nice sandy beach. Tons of sites with and without full hookups. Fully stocked store, a great restaurant and matina with gas."
"It’s right next to a golf course, it’s absolutely gigantic and incredibly well manicured. Great for a family or longer term stay, though it was a bit expensive for us."

GuideIt is basically a gravel lot along soap lake. It has full hookups and costs $52/ Night. Easy to get in. You have to use the QR code box on the board beside the gate. It works easily and you get your gate code by email quickly. The internet is strong but slow. We are using our Verizon with 5g signal. Showers nice and hot.
RangerJust pulled in on 09/06/2026 for two nights. Small and a little crowded, but it is Labor Day weekend. Good place to stay next to the Columbia River for a few days. Nice host and clean restrooms.
ScoutNice site, well maintained, nice to have 50 amp available especially in the summer. Some highway noise but not too bad
ScoutNice campground and typical of KOAs: a little too pricey for what you get, but reliable.
TravelerWe enjoyed our 1 night stay at Potholes. It’s a bit hard to get to coming from the west, but the park is well kept. It was early June, and the park was not at all crowded. We liked the layout of the loops for RVA camping, which felt like there was a decent amount of space. We did not fish or otherwise use the lake, but it is very scenic. Shower facilities were also well-maintained.
ScoutIt use to be the most beautiful, well kept campground in Moses Lake. Sunrise Resort company owns it and they have neglected to take care of this property. It shameful what has happened. Maybe if enough people complain they will do something about it.
Broken restroom
Dirt sites no grass (the pictures are from long ago)
Broken washer/dryer
Broken water hook-up
TravelerEasy booking. Nice directions. Mowed and kept up nicely. Toilets was surprisingly clean as well.
Scout20 minutes from the gorge amphitheater which is nice! Shower and flushing toilets. Sites are close together and real close to the road. This is for concert vibes for true camping camping for sure
TravelerWe spent 4 nights here in early April 2026. We had sight #58 and it was great! Each loop has a wonderful grass lawn to enjoy. Sites are pretty large for a state park, our 30 foot trailer fit easily and our F350 parked next to it in the space. Little privacy between sites but there is enough space in between that you don’t notice.
If you have a tent, the spots are next to the lake. A couple had beautiful views of the lake.
We’ve heard that the mosquitoes are terrible here but we were early enough to only have a few.
If you fish or bird, this is a great spot for you! Bass were huge. And the Coots were fun to watch.
Cabin rentals near Mattawa, Washington range from basic to modern accommodations across several campgrounds. Located in the Columbia Basin region at approximately 850 feet elevation, this semi-arid area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and cold winters. The landscape features dramatic basalt cliffs and expansive water views along the Columbia River and nearby reservoirs.
Fishing access: At Potholes State Park Campground, the reservoir offers excellent fishing opportunities. "Great fishing if you have a boat, but with no easily accessible shore, it's not great for shore fishing," notes one visitor. Most anglers target walleye, crappie, bass and trout.
Water recreation: The Columbia River provides water sports options at Vantage Riverstone Resort Campground. "You can walk down to the river. It has a boat ramp and 30+ spots large and small," according to a camper. Boat rentals are available at several locations including Mardon Resort.
Hiking trails: Several short trails near cabins provide opportunities for wildlife viewing. "Great for wildlife viewing and fishing. Great for groups, RVs and tents. Bring your bug spray!" advises one Potholes State Park visitor. Most trails are under 2 miles and rated easy to moderate difficulty.

Climate considerations: Summer heat is intense. "It's warm here in July. It has very clean bathrooms and a large laundry room," notes one Vantage Riverstone visitor. Temperatures frequently exceed 95°F in July and August, making air-conditioned cabins valuable.
Wind patterns: The Columbia Basin experiences significant wind. At Gorge Amphitheatre Campground, visitors warn to "be ready for wookies (depending on the show you're going to), dust, heat, wind." Securing awnings and outdoor equipment is essential.
Seasonal pricing: Cabin rates vary significantly by season. "We went to the office to check in and there was a big CLOSED sign on the door. A campsite with NO HOOKUPS, just a Picnic Table was $40. Ridiculous!" reports one Vantage visitor. Most properties charge premium rates during summer concert season.
Wildlife awareness: Local wildlife requires caution. One visitor to Potholes State Park encountered "a baby rattlesnake... curled up underneath [the picnic table]. Very angry with us and ready for a fight." Snake encounters are more common during summer months.

Accessibility considerations: Not all cabin areas accommodate large vehicles. "Sites were a bit small, and facilities where a bit run down. Not a great place for campers, but if you boat, it has a boat launch and is right on the water," notes a visitor to Pier 4 Resort. Call ahead to confirm parking dimensions.
Noise factors: Highway proximity affects some cabin locations. "The site was backed up against the highway and was not only was it so loud we couldn't sleep—it literally shook the rig despite stabilizers," warns one Pier 4 Resort visitor. Request cabins furthest from roadways when possible.
