Best Glamping near Wishram, WA
Columbia Hills Historical State Park Campground houses unique glamping accommodations along the Columbia River, combining outdoor adventure with indoor comfort. The park features two platform "cabins" with canvas roofs, constructed with windows, bunk beds, and secure doors, providing a sheltered retreat from the often windy gorge conditions. These elevated accommodations allow guests to experience the natural beauty of Horsethief Lake while enjoying more protection than traditional camping provides. Additionally, the park previously offered a teepee accommodation, though current availability should be confirmed. Facilities include clean bathrooms with showers, making this an accessible option for those seeking camping with amenities. One reviewer noted, "The cabins let in not one bit of wind which was nice, but also got very hot even though it was a cool evening and I had the window open all night."
Visitors to these glamping sites enjoy direct access to Horsethief Lake for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing, with rental equipment sometimes available from camp hosts. The surrounding area features archaeological sites with artifacts and pictographs within walking distance of the accommodations. Hiking opportunities abound, including trails to Horsethief Butte offering panoramic views of Mt. Hood, the Columbia River, and the campground below. The eco-friendly glamping options provide a comfortable base for exploring the Columbia Gorge region while still maintaining connection to the natural environment. A visitor described the experience as "an absolutely beautiful park surrounded by a lake with lots of nearby opportunities for short hikes with amazing views of the mountains and water."
