Check Availability"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."
TravelerNice, clean, & beautiful overnight stop. There were plenty of sites to choose between, we stayed in site 11 since we were departing early. Like other reviews stated, no water or cell service but that’s to be expected.
TravelerBig 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.
GuideCG 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.
RangerI’m really pleasantly surprised by this site. It’s right on the way (closest we’ve ever gotten to stay because we’re a bigger rig). Close to town!!! Has a perfectly nice bathrooms nearby. Beautiful sunsets. Lots of room for spreading out. Not popular for late September. Mosquitos are out at night but not during the day time!
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.
GuidePros: The lake has a really pretty sunset view. Spots are spaced out and the ones by the water have picnic tables. Easy drive in. Not many people here Cons: we visited in mid September, arrived around sunset, and the bugs were BAAAADDD, like real bad by the water. Went up to an inland site and they were still active but not as terrible. You can hear road noise. Also smells like horse manure
Update: some random man came and parked right next to us at 0630 to “walk his dogs”
RangerPit toilets clean and stocked. Sites spread out. Only one other camper on a Saturday. Diverse landscape with variety of birds Verizon 2 bars on ridge 1 bar in lower sites. No trash or water.
TravelerWe decided to try out our new Jeep toad as well as invite son/family with his new travel trailer to Yakima Sportsman. There was a bit of reluctance to book on rumors of homeless issues, but we went ahead and I'm glad we did. Other than a couple homeless cars in the day use area, we had no problems in the RV/Travel Trailer camping areas. In fact, we really had no issues anywhere as we walked all over the place. We took the grandkids fishing in the small pond on site. Drove to Sarge Hubbard Park and walked to river to fish, caught a nice trout and set it free. There was a homeless camp across the river from our fishing spot but again it had no impact on our stay. All in all, a very nice get away!
TravelerJust wanted to provide a reason why we choose not to stay here since no one has rated this in 4+ years.
We drove through around 11pm on the Sunday after Labor Day weekend. On our way back from a Gorge show to Montana. It just didn’t seem like a good place to try and scope out a site in the pitch black. People clearly were camping but we had to sent up a tent. If we had our van probably would’ve stayed. There’s not a lot of information, but there’s a area where camping isn’t allowed and we seemed to find where it was, but would’ve had to drive around in currently occupied areas and potentially get stuck in sand. Thought about trying to drive down a spur road near where Google said there was a trailhead but we’re also unsure if vehicles were even allowed down that road.
If it wasn’t Labor Day weekend maybe we could’ve driven around more and found a good spot. There were porta potties. People were definitely awake that late but didn’t see anyone driving around and being super crazy.
Mattawa, Washington sits at the confluence of the Columbia and Yakima rivers with an elevation of approximately 650 feet. This desert region receives less than 8 inches of annual rainfall, creating warm summers with temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F from June through August. The sparse tree cover at most RV sites near Mattawa, Washington means advance planning for shade is essential during summer visits.
Water recreation on Columbia River: Crescent Bar RV Resort provides easy access for boating and water activities. "There is a walking path that you can access easily from the campground that goes to the end of Crescent Bar," notes one visitor to Thousand Trails Crescent Bar. Another camper adds, "Dramatic cliffs make the perfect backdrop for a week of fun on the water. Tire yourself out on the river, find a sandbar and post up for the day."
Wine tasting tours: The region hosts numerous vineyards within short driving distance. At Wine Country RV Park, "Wineries in walking distance a huge plus. Loved Coyote Canyon!" shares a visitor. The park offers a unique advantage: "This could be a nice basecamp spot for people who love exploring wineries. The small town of Prosser has almost 30 wineries and tasting rooms in the immediate area."
Golfing opportunities: Several resorts offer direct golf course access. According to a visitor at Sage Hills Golf Club & RV Resort, "With 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."
Spacious sites: Many parks offer extra-wide spots for comfortable setup. At Horn Rapids RV Resort, "The lots are not real big, but the landscaping is pristine (think golf course) and overall the park is meticulously maintained." Another visitor confirms, "We will definitely be adding this spot to our route again when we pass through."
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers receive consistent praise. At Coyote Run RV Park, visitors appreciate the "very wide road through the park which is nice and long pull-through sites." Another camper notes, "Clean, great private showers, nice area for our evening mile walk. Some noise from highway traffic, but not terrible."
River views: Campsites with water visibility are especially valued. At Crescent Bar RV Resort, "We have a beautiful spot with a view of the water, surrounded by green grass, a willow tree and pickle ball court. There are a lot more trees and privacy in this campground compared to the other one."
Pet restrictions: Some facilities limit animal sizes or breeds. One frustrated visitor to Wine Country RV Park reports, "Looks great on paper. However these people must be into froufrou type dogs. 40 POUND LIMIT. We travel with our fur kids (over 40 pounds). Shallow minded management."
Seasonal closures: Many campgrounds operate limited schedules. At Columbia Sun RV Resort, "Wifi was being upgraded but cell service with Verizon wasn't an issue. Will go back." The resort provides both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical options across its 145 sites.
Highway noise: Proximity to major roads affects some locations. A visitor at Coyote Run RV Park mentions, "There is road noise audible inside the rig from accelerating/decelerating trucks but not awful." Another notes, "Although you can hear the traffic going by still a nice park. This is the trade off with being close to town."
Pool access: Facilities with swimming options provide relief from summer heat. At Horn Rapids RV Resort, "There is a really nice pool and hot tub, laundry room, showers, and a very nicely stocked store that includes hot food available." These amenities help families manage extended stays.
Recreation facilities: On-site activities keep children entertained. According to a visitor at Columbia Sun RV Resort, "Enjoyed the pool and event centers. ALOT of full timers which doesn't bother me - not sure if we bothered them. No firepits but we knew that before going - brought a propane fire pit with us."
Security features: Gated communities provide peace of mind. At Warden Lake RV Resort, "The gated entry provided extra sense of security and it was a very relaxing stay." The resort also offers "Good lake for fishing trout. Definitely will go back."
Pull-through availability: Sites designed for minimal maneuvering reduce setup stress. A Sage Hills Golf Club visitor emphasizes, "Never been to an RV Park where all the sights r 50' plus and pull-thrus. We will be back a lot more."
Hookup specifications: Understanding electrical limitations prevents problems. At Sage Hills Golf Club & RV Resort, full hookups include "50/30 amp service and price INCLUDES ELECTRIC!!! Very clean RV Resort! Lots of grass b/n sights."
Dump station planning: Not all facilities offer this service. A reviewer of Wine Country RV Park noted, "We only stayed at Wine Country RV Park as an overnight along our way, however, this could be a nice basecamp spot for people who love exploring wineries."
