    Several RV parks near Vantage provide access to the Columbia River basin and surrounding attractions. Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park Campground offers spacious RV sites with privacy between them and views of the lake. Sage Hills Golf Club & RV Resort features pull-through sites with 50-amp service, full hookups, and minimum 50-foot lengths to accommodate larger vehicles. The resort includes amenities specifically designed for big rig access, with grassy areas between sites and sunset views. Smokiam RV Resort provides water and electric hookups, though sites are positioned close together. "All RV sites are big rig friendly, minimum 50 feet, and all are pull-throughs with full hookups including 50/30 amp service, and price includes electric," noted one visitor about Sage Hills.

    Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when Columbia River recreation draws crowds to limited RV spaces. Most parks in the region maintain year-round operations, though seasonal closures affect some facilities between October and April. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger signals near larger towns and spotty coverage in canyon areas. Dump stations are available at select locations including Potholes State Park, which features token-operated showers and fish cleaning stations for anglers. Sites at Wanapum State Park provide lake views but lack dog park facilities. Weather conditions can change rapidly, with summer temperatures frequently exceeding 90 degrees. Propane refills are limited to larger facilities, requiring planning for extended stays.

      Old Bluett Pass Road Dispersed

      It was fairly easy to get to this area however despite our best efforts we only found one established campsite with a fire ring. Road getting here was mostly paved with some debris on the roadway. We lost GPS signal just before arriving and passed NF200. I gave 3 stars because we were unable to locate other sites. Maybe it was just me but we drove quite a while on NF200 and only found the one right at the entrance.

      Elk Ridge Campground

      Cute spot! Spots are tight. Water, electricity, showers and bathroom. Cute lil' dog park that is also a wedding venue. Great stop right before Mt. Rainier. We stayed in spot #10 a little tight for a 27ft camper, but we made it work!

      Big Pines Campground - Yakima River Canyon

      Nice, 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.

      Ringold Springs Camping

      Big 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.

      Wenatchee River County Park

      Nice sites

      It'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.

      Wenatchee Confluence State Park Campground

      Overnight stay

      We 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.

      Perch Point Wild Camping Area

      Surprisingly great!

      I’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!

      Liberty Recreation Area

      Nice free camping

      FREE!! NO FEE!! This place has around 20 spots. Some of the spots are on one road right as you enter with a vault toilet. But if you continue and take a right down that road there are more spots and another vault toilet. The larger sites are on this second road.

      Each spot has a picnic table and fire ring.

      It looks like the road has a closed during the winter but the camping is still open. Snowmobiling to the sites.

      Smokiam Campground & Kampers Korner

      Nice clean not spectacular

      It 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.
