4 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Riverbend RV Park in Twisp provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, paved roads, and river access. The park accommodates larger RVs with pull-through sites arranged in a loop configuration. "A few long terms folks. Nice quiet amenities - new bathrooms, large dog area, easy river access," notes one camper who appreciated the park's layout. Pine Near RV Park in Winthrop offers similar amenities with electric, water, and sewer hookups, while Columbia Cove RV Park in Brewster has more limited facilities but provides big-rig friendly spaces. Most RV sites throughout the Methow Valley feature gravel pads with varying degrees of levelness and spacing between neighbors.
Seasonal considerations affect RV camping availability in the region, with some parks like Riverbend operating year-round while others close during winter months. Cell service varies significantly throughout the mountainous terrain, with stronger signals in towns and weaker coverage in more remote locations. Dump stations are available at most developed RV parks, though not all sites offer sewer hookups at individual pads. According to reviews, navigation can be challenging for larger rigs on some of the mountain roads leading to campgrounds. Pet policies generally allow dogs but require leashes within park boundaries, with designated pet areas at several facilities. Propane refill service is available at Riverbend RV Park, eliminating the need to drive into town for this essential.
"A few long terms folks."
"But something I noticed along the way was that cell signal was minimal and with that it made it a bit harder to find locations to stop for the night."
"My site had full hookups (30 amp), water and dump water. $60/night 25 June 26. Showers and toilets spick and span clean. Showers are private and they provide towel and cloth floor mat."
"We did not stay as we were in town only to restock propane, water and fuel. The Chevron station was not able to help with the water situation but suggested we try here."
"Bathrooms clean hot showers and free Wi-Fi even if it’s a bit spotty depending on your service. Att not the best but it still worked enough."
from $47 / night
"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."
"Extremely friendly and helpful host helped me get situated coming in late. Great stopover. And some Cute restaurants in town."
from $47 / night
"This campground was mainly for large luxury RV’s - all pushed together on huge concrete pads. There are about 10 spots on the river that are somewhat rustic- private and have full hookups."
"So quiet, leaves changing, crisp weather. Just make sure you have heated water hose"
Available next weekend
"Also very nice swimming Cove around the corner and playground for the kids. We found a camp staff and host to be super friendly and helpful."
"Tenters often. showers and restrooms. water and electric. no laundry but walkable to downtown area Stayed in 42’ 5th wheel"
"It hit the spot, easy, paved pull-thru sites with plenty of shade and hookups for electric and water. Apparently there have been some issues with homeless folks also enjoying the shade so be advised."
from $25 / night
GuideOf the three public campgrounds on the west side of the river, I think this is the best one. It's the furthest in but one of the sites actually has a Sandy little beach. I was there in the off-season so I had the campground it myself
GuideIt's right on the river and then there's the falls Creek that flows down and there's the falls Creek waterfall which is awesome
GuideNice spot on the river. I was there the off-season so I was me and one other person.
TravelerWe’ve stayed here before, and each time the stay has been wonderful! Our first time was when an unexpected snowfall happened (over 2 feet) while camping. One of the hosts let us stay in the laundry area to stay warm, and even offered one of the cabins to cook in to stay out of the elements. The RV park is wonderfully kept and the facilities is all regularly cleaned. It’s a short walk onto the main strip of Winthrop.
TravelerThe heated bathrooms with showers were definitely comfort on our cross country road trip. We arrived after hours but because we already had made reservations that morning we were able to use the slider and enter the campground. Star gazing is always top priority. We headed down to the lake’s beach to snap some shots with my iPhone 14 Pro night, setting on a tripod and remote.
GuideIt's really a great little gated park that's fairly affordable. Unfortunately, it's right off the highway and on the other side of the river are the train tracks. Both are quite active. Otherwise this is a 5-star. Office folks were friendly and helpful.
LegendEnjoyed a couple nights relaxing at this great spot. A couple of visitors drove through to check out the river but we were the only ones camping. We stayed at the back at the site with beach access.
LegendWe spent a pleasant evening in this beautiful park. Facilities are clean and well kept. Sites are spread out with plenty of grassy area between each site.
GuideWe originally drove up NF-51 to check out Falls Creek Campground (which is also beautiful) and discovered this gem! While there is no fee per night to camp, a Discover Pass is required (unless you already have a Vehicle Access Pass issued with the purchase of an eligible hunting or fishing license).
No potable water or hookups available. Very stinky pit toilet. Fire rings at sites but there was a ban in place when we were there.
There was plenty of room when we were here, but I would imagine it is very busy during the summer and hunting season.
