      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.

      Wanapum State Park Campground

      Nice stop. One night for me. A little pricey at $51 since I didn't need hookups but I rolled right into spot 11 on the river with a great view. Easy registration and clean facilities.

      Boardman Marina Park

      Lush Lawns, River Views, and Stunning Sunsets in Boardman, OR

      Reviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com

      If you are navigating the Pacific Northwest corridor or routing toward Glacier National Park along Interstate 84, Boardman Marina& RV Campground is an absolute breath of fresh air. Situated right along the shores of the Columbia River (Lake Umatilla), this park provides an exceptionally scenic, vibrant oasis in Eastern Oregon. During our recent cross-country trek, we booked Site Circle B-24, and it instantly became one of the prettiest waterside stops of our trip.

      Campground Setting& Site Quality (Circle B-24)

      The immediate standout feature when pulling into this park is just how remarkably lush and green everything is.

      • Manicured Grounds: Unlike many high-desert stops in the region, the campground is covered in acres of super green, well-kept lawn. It gives the entire park an open, park-like feel that is easy on the eyes and great underfoot.
      • Mature Shade Trees: The property is filled with large, mature shade trees that provide fantastic relief from the summer sun while adding character and privacy to the loops.
      • Site Setup: Circle B-24 offered plenty of breathing room, easy hookups, and a level pad. Navigating the circles is smooth, and having wide grassy areas between sites makes relaxing outside your camper door genuinely peaceful.

      The Columbia River Experience

      The campground sits directly on the banks of Lake Umatilla, turning a routine overnight stay into a true waterfront retreat.

      • Riverfront Action: Being right on the water brings great sightseeing opportunities. One of the highlights of our stay was sitting outside the rig and watching a large river cruise boat glide slowly down the Columbia River.
      • Family Atmosphere: The energy throughout the park is wonderful. Lots of families were out enjoying the lawns, walking along the shoreline paths, and taking advantage of the marina setting.
      • World-Class Sunsets: As evening rolled in, the west-facing river views delivered an incredible show. The sunset reflecting over the wide expanse of the Columbia River was stunning and the ideal backdrop for winding down after a long day of driving.

      The Hitched4fun Verdict

      Boardman Marina& RV Campground combines pristine green park grounds with unbeatable river views. Whether you are boating, letting kids run free on the grass, or just looking for a calm, scenic rest stop right off the highway, Site Circle B-24 delivers everything a camper could want. We will definitely keep this on our preferred list for future Northwest runs.

      Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars— Highly Recommended by the entire Hitched4fun.com crew!

      Coyote Run RV Park

      LOUD, LOUD, LOUD

      CG is yards away from the highway on-ramp. Our rig would shake as semis accelerated past. Not to mention the general highway noise. Additionally, there’s a 24 hr fueling stop near the CG, so all night long there are trucks coming and going. CG was tidy, folks were nice, bathrooms were clean-ish. Did I mention it was loud? If you have to stay here avoid east perimeter spots 60-72, they are closest to the highway. I will not stay here again.

      Three Mile Canyon Park

      Overnight spot

      Always have a good time spending a night or two here when traveling. Nice open area next to the river not too much noise. Good fishing have caught a few bass off the shoreline. There is a clean well stock vault toilet on 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!

      Charbonneau Park

      Another great COE campground

      Spent three nights here in site 43 which had full hook ups. Beautiful campground with grass everywhere and spaces are far apart from your neighbor. Nice clean showers. Right on the Snake river. About 12 to 14 miles to the nearest town for laundry, groceries, etc. Half price with the America, the beautiful pass.

      Threemile Canyon Park

      Quiet and nice

      We’re the only ones here although it’s only 3:30 on a Wednesday. We have a spot right in the water, looking forward to a nice stay. It appears to be free. But we just got here. I’ll edit after we spend the night. There were a few looong trains during the night, across the river but I kinda liked them.

    What to do

    River activities at Hood Park: The Snake River shoreline offers swimming and fishing opportunities. "There is a connected wildlife preserve that you can walk around in and also fish in that is a separate area. Lots of birds to watch," notes Nathan B. about Hood Park.

    Explore local wineries: Prosser's wine country features nearly 30 wineries and tasting rooms within short distance of camping areas. "This could be a nice basecamp spot for people who love exploring wineries. The small town of Prosser has almost 30 wineries and tasting rooms in the immediate area," reports a reviewer at Wine Country RV Park.

    Sports tournaments: Camping near sports complexes provides convenient lodging for tournament attendees. "We stayed here during a baseball tournament and you couldn't beat the convenience of walking over to the Pasco sports complex. Plus we caught a dust devils game and just had to walk across the parking lot," mentions Jennifer H. about Franklin County RV Park.

    What campers like

    Clean, well-maintained facilities: Many dog friendly campgrounds near West Richland prioritize cleanliness and upkeep. "Immaculately clean, well laid out sites with a decent amount of space, clean bathrooms. For a one night stay, it was a very good choice," shares George L. about Horn Rapids RV Resort.

    Convenient amenities: Campgrounds offer various comfort features for short and long stays. "Showers were nicer than any other on our 2800 mile trip from Arkansas and park is quiet and shaded right by the water," writes Bud S. about Beach RV Park.

    Family-friendly recreation options: Many sites provide facilities for family activities. "Nice playground and RC track which our child loved. No wood fires allowed," reports Lawrence L. about Pasco Tri-Cities KOA, highlighting recreation options for younger visitors.

    What you should know

    Highway noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise due to proximity to major roads. "Freeway noise aside, this is a great park with plenty of amenities. The park is very clean and the staff was helpful," Wesley M. notes about Pasco Tri-Cities KOA.

    Fire restrictions vary: Fire policies differ between campgrounds, with some allowing fires and others prohibiting them entirely. "No firepits but we knew that before going - brought a propane fire pit with us," advises David T. about Wine Country RV Park.

    Seasonal irrigation systems: Some parks use irrigation systems that may affect outdoor activities. "The only complaint I have is that the sprinklers go on in the middle of the day. So if you are doing anything outside there is a good hour break to avoid the irrigation water," cautions Matthew S. about Horn Rapids RV Resort.

    Tips for camping with families

    Pool and play facilities: Several campgrounds offer recreational amenities specifically designed for children. "There is a really nice pool and hot tub, laundry room, showers, and a very nicely stocked store that includes hot food available," reports Jim J. about Horn Rapids RV Resort.

    Consider tent-specific areas: For families tent camping, look for dedicated tent spaces. "We were the only tent campers so we had a bunch of space. Fire rings and picnic tables at every site as well as a bunch of firewood," shares Alissa K. about Beach RV Park.

    Playground access: Parks with playground equipment provide entertainment for younger visitors. "This campground offers developed sites with hookups for campers. There is a playground and interpretive events for kids in the evenings. They even had some movies on the weekends," mentions Chris A. about Hood Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Space considerations: RV sites vary in size and spacing between units. "The lots are not real big, but the landscaping is pristine and overall the park is meticulously maintained," advises Jim J. about Horn Rapids RV Resort.

    Hookup availability: Check specific hookup options when making reservations. "We were only stopping for one night on the way home and having a level, nice pull-through site, with hookups was nice. We never even unhooked the trailer but was spot on level," shares Bruce P. about Pasco Tri-Cities KOA.

    Weather planning for pets: The region's hot temperatures require extra consideration for pet owners. "Although you can hear the traffic going by still a nice park. This is the trade off with being close to town but being close to civilization allowed us to go get items we needed and not have to rely on the usually overpriced camp stores," notes David T. about Wine Country RV Park.
