Best Campgrounds near Walla Walla, WA

345 Reviews

Campgrounds near Walla Walla, Washington range from established RV parks to primitive sites in surrounding public lands. Blue Valley RV Park provides full hookups within city limits, while Lewis & Clark Trail State Park Campground offers more natural surroundings approximately 20 miles northeast of town. The area supports tent camping, RV sites with utilities, and limited dispersed options in the nearby Umatilla National Forest. Several private campgrounds cater specifically to wine tourists visiting the region's numerous vineyards, with both short-term and extended-stay accommodations available.

Road conditions and site availability vary significantly by season in the Walla Walla region. Most developed campgrounds operate from April through October, with Lewis & Clark Trail State Park and Harris Park in nearby Milton-Freewater closing during winter months. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, while winter can bring snow at higher elevations in the Blue Mountains. Campgrounds closer to town stay accessible year-round but often fill quickly during wine festival weekends and summer events. Cell service remains reliable near established campgrounds but becomes limited in more remote forest areas. According to one visitor, "Harris park is approximately 25 minutes from Milton-Freewater, Oregon. The South Fork of the Walla Walla River runs along the campground but current is too strong for young children to play in."

Riverside camping sites receive consistently positive reviews from visitors to the Walla Walla region. Campgrounds along waterways provide welcome relief during hot summer months while offering scenic views. The developed sites at Harris Park are noted for being "angled nicely to allow views of the river with vegetation between sites to add extra privacy." Several reviewers mention that while camping near town provides convenient access to Walla Walla's downtown wineries and restaurants, the more remote forest service campgrounds offer greater solitude and natural settings. Most established campgrounds maintain clean facilities, though several visitors noted limited or closed shower facilities at some locations. Campers seeking quieter experiences may prefer the more distant Umatilla National Forest sites, where dispersed camping options exist along forest service roads.

    Wallowa-Whitman NF 21 - Dispersed

    Quick and easy

    Quickly and easy stop close to 84 if you are traveling through. Does the trick for an overnighter. Lots of dispersed pullouts. No amenities.

    RV Resort Four Seasons

    Very comfortable

    I called from 40 miles out on a Friday night on the 22 nd of August. High summer season. They were nearly full. They held a spot. Grass pad full hook up. Most of the sites are shaded by trees due to my starlink sat needs a clear shot at the sky I took a space in the sun. I was just traveling thru if I was staying longer go for shade. Its 85-90 this time of year. The people who run the place were very nice and the grounds are very well kept.

    I recommend it anytime of year!

    Plymouth Park Campground

    Not my style of camping

    It’s a cute spot if you don’t mind sharing right spaces and zero privacy. The spots are basically pull outs off the camp roadway. Nice for a pit stop on the drive but I wouldn’t prefer to stay there more than that. Personally, I’ve stayed better places for free and the $30 tag for the spot wasn’t worth it for me.

    North of Spring Creek on Forest Road 21

    Secluded forest with primitive camping

    This type of site is usually what we look for when traveling - dispersed, primitive camping sites spaced far apart from each other. We had a little patch of forest all to ourselves. There's a bit of highway noise in the distance, low cell signal (both AT&T and T-Mobile). We heard gunshots from another site and saw shells at our site, so that's something to be aware of if wandering the forest.
