Warden Lake RV Resort is a place to make lasting memories. Open all year, we welcome short term and long term guests. In addition to RV sites, there are few cabins to enhance your glamping experience. Warden lake is a serene lake which feels more like a large private lake. Its very quiet most of the year, and a great place for fishing. The resort is located just 15 minutes from I-90."
This is the oldest campground in the Eastern Washington State starting late 18th century. It occupies 5 treed acres of land and 1,200 ft of shoreline right on the Silver Lake (Spokane County). The services include RV sites (both Full Hookups and Electric/Water hookups), Camp sites, Diamond Event Venue and vacation home rental (B&B). The SUPER easy access (5' to Interstate 90 & 15' to downtown Spokane) combines the country-side environment where you can meet and greet deer, moose, ducks, goose, turkey, quail, farm animals, AND FISH, with the quick access to the modern-day amenities of a vibrant downtown Spokane, making this resort a short escape to the countryside that you long for. Welcome to the Park.

Clear Lake Recreation Area is amazing! The scenery is beautiful, and there are plenty of activities for everyone.
ScoutPrimitive campsite with loads of space. Stopped for a night here. Good spot.

T mobile 5G. Dead fish and algae in the lake- green speckles. The water is green. The picnic tables are partially buried in the sand. The discovery pass including the processing fee was $13. The sites are big and well spaced along the reservoir shoreline. Saw about 3 Pit toilets equally spaced along the shore line. Nice old trees providing shade. Nice breeze to close the day. Can't see any flies.
Traveler
If you disregard the rough old permanent stayers, unclean, weeds and parked cars,, the lake view at sunset was beautiful
TravelerPros: good fishing, good amenities (shower, bathroom, etc), price, cleanliness, availability. Cons: Typical designated camping stacked right next to each other so barking dogs, crying kids, or drunks are highly likely to be a nuisance. Overall it's really well maintained and accessible. There's a little grocery store/market/gas across from the park on 262 if you need anything.
Guide
Beautiful views, calm, and quiet area. My only complaint is how tight the campground is. Definitely not made for big rigs or 40’. Smaller campers only.
RangerPerfect in every way. Close to a major town, store and restaurant across the road, giant sites with a good layout to still feel somewhat secluded and if you’re an angler, you’re 100 yards away from the boat launch.
GuideCame here with another family for the a few days during the 4th! Took the boat too. Great spot for fishing and playing with the kids. We stayed on the premium lake view site which was solid and away from much of the other campers so it felt private.
Bathrooms and showers were far away and weren't that great. Fireworks from here for the 4th were awesome though!
Biggest gripe with this campground was that every day twice a day the sprinklers would turn on and crush our campsite, so we had to cover sprinkler heads with buckets. So odd that they would have that while people are camping here.
RangerWell maintained with lots of trees which is not typical for the surrounding area. Had full services which was nice because it was warm and the air conditioning was appreciated.
GuidePlease update this review! When looking at other apps it mentions this has become a homeless camp… target shooting and flies. We did not go but I’m posting this so you’ll do your own research.
TravelerThe location is beautiful. However, the sites are quite small, there is no designated pet area, and showers are .25 a minute.

We spent an overnight here, but it was sadly not a great stay. I can’t recommend this spot for the following reasons:
The site was backed led up against the highway and was not only was it so loud we couldn’t sleep—it literally shook the rig despite stabilizers. If we’d been further into the park, it still would have been uncomfortably loud.
There is a highway bridge that leads directly in the park—almost directly into the site we were given. People were constantly walking into the site from the bridge day and night. This felt less safe than much of the isolated boondocking we’ve done—or honestly any of our camping.
Our site was covered in trash. It could be in part due to the highway, but I’ve never had site with more trash left behind ever.
No access to WiFi, this could be because we never spoke to staff. The restroom closest to our site was unexpectedly locked—had to use the other that had only one shower stall and two toilets. Shower was fine and had hot water, but that bathroom couldn’t support the volume of campers.
The staff left midday and were completely unreachable. We needed to find out spot, purchase quarters for laundry, and had questions about amenities/ the campground and we’re unable to talk to anyone.
Amenities were ultimately fine and if none of those other elements bothered you ^ you’ll be fine.
TravelerWe had a nice stay at Ruby’s.
GuideThis place had everything i could possibly want for an affordable price. Boat, kayak and other equipment rentals, restaurant, bathrooms, changing rooms, showers, fishing dock, swimming area, shaded lawns and picnic tables. Only $15 for a dry tent space with shade and view of the lake! Why not give it 5 stars? The visitors are primarily young, drinking, playing loud music, driving fast and kicking up dust. It was annoying but tolerable. Staff was kind, knowledgeable, location is close to I90 and easy to find. Easily a few hundred people here on a summer weekend, so be prepared. Be sure to check out the turtles swimming around the dock. Lots of wildlife.
GuideMilitary ID required.
Sites 1-15 have zero shade and are close together. Dogs are not allowed on the beach or lake areas. Ports-potties for close bathrooms. Okay if you’re staying overnight or here specifically for the lake.
GuidePros:: The park itself is pretty and green. The bathrooms are clean and well kept with free showers. The campsite are spacious but there is no privacy. The kids loved the playground and there are community volleyball nets that are nice. There’s a nice hiking trail nearby although be cautious of snakes, we came across a very large gopher snake on the trail.
Cons:: we thought the kids would be able to swim but there’s not really any good place to do it here. Definitely caters more to the fishing and boating crowd.
There was also a large group of maybe 100+ people having an annual gathering that had personal volleyball nets up in the middle of fields throughout the park and they would assemble to play right behind our site and leave trash all over the place. When we were asked by the ranger to turn our music off at 8:59pm we mentioned it and he told us they come every year and he knows they will pick it up before they leave. Then they were extremely loud and disruptive all night.
And last but not least, beware of TICKS. We found a lot on our dogs and even some crawling on us. Apparently it’s common on that side of the Cascades but I wasn’t aware so come prepared for those.

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. The gated entry provided extra sense of security and it was a very relaxing stay.
Ranger
If you’re fishing, this is the perfect spot. But this is an RV review. Nice view on the lake, extremely convenient - just not my ideal RV spot. But this is a 5 star if you’re fishing. Boat launch only feet away. Not a lot to do at the park but tons of hiking and fishing all around you.
ScoutWe were looking at houses nearby and wanted a spot to use as home base in our RV. The office was friendly enough. The stars I knocked off were due to super loud road noise all night/day and the upkeep of the buildings/sites were lackluster. Overall like I said, the spot was just okay and served our purpose. Be ready for road noise if you are in or out of your rv.
GuideI came here every year as a kid and just came back for the first time as an adult. I love camping in the sand, we always stayed among the willow trees. Wake up hot and jump in the reservoir. 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.
GuideGreat campground. It was very quiet. Sites had plenty of space between them. Great location. Even had WiFi. Not great WiFi but still. It was a nice place.
GuideWe were disappointed with the cramped sites, but at least noonr was butted up to the end of our trailer until our last night. They need into our trailer trying to park in the small site. When we asked the office why they assigned such a large rig there with so many other empty sites, we were told it wasn't their responsibility. We won't stay here again.
ScoutGreat rv Park but children are not allowed.
GuideThis was our first visit to an RV “resort” and it wasn’t horrible. MarDon has lots of nice amenities but boy is it crowded. If you don’t mind crowds and like the convenience of resort camping MarDon is a good choice.
(Disclaimer: I prefer boondocking and getting as far away from people as possible, so read this review with that in mind.)
MarDon Resort sits on Potholes Reservoir about 16 miles southwest of Moses Lake. The reservoir is massive and offers excellent fishing and water sports. Central Washington gets dry and hot in the summer so come prepared.
The Resort has been around since the 1970s and offers a lot of amenities: full hookup sites, tent sites, monthly rates, marina, restaurant & bar, swimming beach, mini golf, boat & golf cart rentals and more.
GuideLast visited in 2020. New is Wi-Fi. I did remote work off and on. Used to come every year in late summer when water level is low and there are more sand dunes. There's 6 circular FHU loops (back in only), a group camp and cabin loop. In the main campground campsites are well spaced with room in the middle of each loop to park boats or extra cars. There are token operated showers, boat trailer parking and fish cleaning stations. Our kids would bike, scooter and use the playground. We boat out to the dunes, spend the day on a dune and fish and do water sports from there. The swimming area is hit and miss depending on the water level. Be aware of lots of vegetation in the water near the shore. Sometimes swimming is prohibited when there is a toxic algae break out. So check ahead. Also, when tenting during the week (M-Th), pitch tents on tent pad, not the grass (read the signs posted). Sprinklers run regularly. At night you can hear the coyotes. Boat launch area was rebuilt and can get busy. It's our fam fav.
GuideThis is a good place to camp, but.
While we did have good coverage for our Verizon phones. We got site 98 which backs up to the lake. Great idea, but due to people having no manners, we had people walking through our campsite to get to the water to fish constantly.
This was also the first time we experienced animal problems on a camping trip. Normally, we move all our food under our awning to a small table we keep beside the TT for cooking. This trip, there were racoons that liked our food more than we did. First night, we lost a half gallon glass jar of dog food. It had a lid on it, and it took me until the second night to figure it out. I thought we had just misplaced it since nothing else was missing. But after the activities on the second night we knew where the dog food went. Ended up loosing a box of graham crackers, bag of marshmallows, and a bag of burger buns.
Other than the animal issue(self induced). The camp site was fine. I do find the placement of the large boulders to be odd! We had to back our TT all the way into the camp site due to they line each side of the camp sites with huge boulders. I am talking big ones, they are at least half the size of the picnic tables. This would be fine, but they put one on each side of the entrance to the camp site which does make it a bit concerning to back in. And once in, you have to make sure you place your TT in the right place so you don't have one in front of your door.
There was no hookups at this site, it was fairly flat, but it was VERY dust! There was very little grass, odd for end of April, so the site was mainly just a dirt patch which was dry enough it was pretty much just dust.
Another observation was that while they did have a couple water taps (dish washing station) on this loop, they were both on the other side of the loop, so we would have to either walk through others camp sites or walk around the entire loop.
With the issues with animals, I would suggest you dump your trash nightly, but there was no dumpsters on this loop. The closest was about half way back to the check-in booth, in the boat ramp parking lot. This was about 1/2 mile from our camp site.
ScoutNice campground but very desert-ie right so hot in the summer but on the river though so if you have a boat its great.
