Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ritzville, WA

Finally a park where you have a little space between RVs. Full RV hook-up and internet for $35 per night. The owner drives through the park daily to say "Hi" and check on you visit.

Stop in and check them out!

This 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.

I was skeptical about this place because it is part of an RV storage area and very close to the highway. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It is very well maintained, very neat, irrigated grass for each site. The campground is one loop with back in sites on the perimeter and pull-through sites on the "infield." I had a pull through site that was easy to navigate. Hookups are well maintained. Good Verizon cell service (3 bars). Many long term residents but with well-kept rigs. The town is sleepy at best! Be aware that on Sundays, every restaurant is closed! There is road noise audible inside the rig from accelerating/decelerating trucks but not awful. I did not look at the bathrooms and laundry but they looked very nice.

This campground was clean and neat and organized. We were just here for a one night's stay on our way to Idaho and it was perfect for that. Plugged in, clean indiv showers bathroom. Nice morning birdsong. Easy on off highway. Several long term residents you can tell by the delicious tomatoes growing.

This park is a few miles the main highway, but worth the drive. Lots of space between sites, grass, full hook ups. Friendly hosts, very peaceful.

There’s great fishing if you have a boat, but with no easily accessible shore, it’s not great for shore fishing. The shore is mud so swimming also isn’t ideal either. There is a good playground for kids and a short walking trail. The lower campground was mainly tents and the sites are smaller, but there are lots of trees. Up above are the larger sites, including full hookups for RVs.

Overall it’s a good park and we’ll probably go back.

Great rv Park but children are not allowed.

RV Park is nice, but not much shade. It is fairly close to base amenities. Nice commissary and PX store on base.

We had this place completely to ourselves when we stayed there...it was amazing! There is lake access with a small dock and boat launch, a common area consisting of covered picnic area with picnic tables, and a public vault toilet. We were camping in a tent trailer; easy access and ample space to turn around. Sites are fairly level and are back-in only...though there appeared to be a spot for RV parking (no hook-ups). There is a line of trees near the camp sites offering partial shade (depending on where the sun is), but the sun gets pretty brutal; other than the covered picnic area, shade is limited.

Note: There was no water available when we visited (locks on pipes & faucet handles removed), so be sure to bring your own!

Wildlife: We witnessed a confrontation between a giant heron and an osprey...it was pretty impressive! The heron made a noise that sounded a lot like what I'd imagine a pterodactyl would have sounded like. Also, we heard what must have been a pack of at least 6 or 7 coyotes a little after 11pm...and then heard wolves howling in the wee hours of the morning. Super cool!

Lake: We didn't have a boat or fishing poles...but I'd imagine that the lake would be great for both. It had a fair bit of algae...so probably not a lake you'd necessarily want to swim in. My husband, however, found the lake to be great for flying his RC float plane. Oh! And there was an old abandoned cabin on the opposite side of the lake...creepy cool.

This is a really lovely RV park, well cared for, nice owners. It’s pretty small, and it’s got a really peaceful and quiet vibe. The main road is right there but it was surprisingly quiet. There is propane fill here at $3.50/gal, not bad. 

Shower (there’s only one) was nice and clean, 4 quarters for 7 minutes. No laundry facilities here on site. There’s a large book & DVD lending library in the office. There’s zero cell reception here but the wifi was decent, it reached our spot in the back, though it did shut down for a few hours in the night. 

Really liked it here. We used the Passport America discount, and with taxes/fees paid $18 for a FHU pull through site, so roughly double that for full price. There’s not much to do here though if you don’t have a car. No place to walk to, no place to take your dogs to walk. Good if you’re passing through.

The campground is located on O'Sullivan Reservior in the middle of nowhere.  It has excellent fishing and a plenty of room to boat to different areas to fish.  The campground has tent and RV spaces with hookups.  There is a fish cleaning station and a shower, restroom area near the docks.  Fish that can be found are:  Walleye, Crappie, Bass, Trout.  There are also a lot of Carp to encounter. Be prepared for various weather conditions and sometimes windy conditions.  Fishing can be done on the banks.  Lots of little hidden potholes in the area if you are willing to look around the area.  There is a country store within a comfortable driving distance or bike ride.  Picnic tables and grass are available.  The camping can be cramped with little shade.  The Park Rangers can be cantankerous and at times can be rude.  The Park Host changes so you never know if you will get someone helpful or military rules.  Don't expect the other campers to respect your night of quiet.  Seems there isn't much in the way of enforcement.  Overall the Reservior is worth it and just enjoy it.

I have been camping here since birth. There are a ton of fun things to do here. 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. The best part os the fishing!

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.

Beautifully maintained campground with friendly camp hosts. Affordable, large pull through sites. Large shade trees in several sites. Some of the most level sites we’ve stayed in. Community fire pit or bring your own to have in your site. Nice bathrooms with showers ($1 in quarters for 7 minutes). Plenty of grass area for kids to play in. Pets welcome. Close to Tucannon and Snake Rivers. Open year round.

Scootney is definitely a surprising oasis in the desert of eastern washington. Its camp ground is dry with no trailer hookups, but a dump site if you need it. The fishing is great and the locals fish out here all the time. Bass and walleye are caught almost year round here. The lake is in the scrub land though so there is not a whole lot of shade. Be prepared it can get really hot out there. The swimming area is nice and open and the day use section of the park is used by locals all year round.

Stayed here for four nights. Arrived on Friday and it’s a busy, fun place over the weekend. Emptied out on Sunday and only a few campers left Monday and Tuesday. Electric and water hookups. Dumping for gray and black water on site. Wonderfully delightful camp host. Lot of opportunities for water activities except while we were there the lake had a toxic algae problem so we didn’t go in.
