Best RV Parks & Resorts near Republic, WA

The Kettle Falls Campground sits on the Upper Columbia River in a popular recreational area.

The campsites are not very private but a few offer stunning views of the river. The campground is busy on the weekends. If you’re looking for peace and quiet try camping during the week.

There are no services except for a few vault toilets and a dump station. However, there’s a full service marina next door. The marina is a popular fishing and water sport destination in the summer.

The campground is clean and well maintained. The sites are small so parking a big rig will be a hassle.

Overall, the Kettle Falls Campground is a great place to access the Upper Columbia River. However, there is little privacy and it gets busy on the weekends.

First off- no cell signal of any kind! Be clear on that! You can go to Hunters Bar & Grill for lunch and use their wi-fi, or park out in the lot and maybe catch a signal. As far as campground, there were some spaces with privacy and others you feel your neighbors are in your living room. We came on a Sunday afternoon and dumpster was overflowing and smelly. Put toilets smelled poorly, too! They allow generators from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Now while they allow them, doesn't mean it's nice to run yours until 10 a.m. Dump station was sealed closed and no fresh water available at station either. Plenty of parking for boats and this may be what type of place this has become. We left after 2 nights. View across lake was pretty!

Local area RV Park. 10 drive-thru sites are on the upper level. Lower levels seem to be more permanent sites. All upper sites have 30/50 amp, water and 2 septic dumps per site. Reservations were easy to make and they were flexible when we had to modify our 2 night stay to 1. We were here to see the Dam light show that we’ve missed during COVID. Dam Visitor Center close to Park. Wife preferred not to use park restroom.
Light gravel throughout and at all the sites. Perfectly level and all connections were as they should be. No shade trees in upper sites, $35/night.

Ranger Review: GCI Outdoor Recliner chair at North Gorge Campground

Campground review:

North Gorge is a sleepy little place. Small campground with a small boat launch. There isn't a lot of parking so beware if you bring your truck and trailer here. The sites are small, seemed to be a decent amount of space between them. Vault toilets, well maintained. each site has your standard picnic table, and fire ring. There was a burn ban in August, no fires for us. They actually zip tied no fire signs to each fire pit. There are only a few sites, most for tent camping only, however there are a few that will fit a trailer or rv. It is $9 in the off season Nov 1st to May 30th, and $18 in the peak season

As a Ranger for the Dyrt, sometime I get to test out awesome products in exchange for an honest review. The GCI outdoor Recliner is well built with quality materials. It is easy to slide in and out of the large storage back. easy to set up and take down. I love the mesh back, it helps to keep you cool in those hot summer days. The chair has 3 reclining positions and my favorite part was reclining the chair all the way to look at the stars, it gives the perfect angle. I also love the storage pocket on the back. just fold up the storage bag and put it in the pocket for a pillow. It has a cup holder, but I wasn't a big fan of the placement. I give this chair an 8/10.
