1 campground with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds operate near Wishram along the Columbia River, ranging from full-hookup parks with 50-amp service to sites with electric and sewer only. Peach Beach RV Park offers full-hookup sites with electric, water and sewer connections, accommodating big rigs with 50-amp service. Sherman County RV Park, located south of Wishram, provides year-round access with similar hookup options. Stargazers RV features electric and sewer connections but lacks shower facilities or toilets, positioned with views of Mount Hood and Mount Adams. The sites at Peach Beach are arranged with minimal privacy between neighboring RVs, though the riverside location compensates for the close spacing. "Enough space between sites. Easy back-ins and some pull-throughs. Spotless restrooms. Beautiful views of the river," noted one visitor.
Road access generally accommodates large motorhomes throughout the area, with most parks featuring gravel pads rather than concrete. Highway noise affects several riverside parks due to proximity to major routes and railroad tracks. According to one visitor, "Between the trains and the surrounding highways, it was easily one of the worse night's sleep we have ever encountered." Dump stations are available at Peach Beach and Sherman County RV parks. Reservation policies vary, with some parks offering first-come, first-served options while others require advance booking. Most facilities remain open year-round, though seasonal closures affect some locations—notably Rufus RV Park, which closes from November through March. Pet policies generally permit animals with standard restrictions, and cell service remains reliable throughout most of the area.
"Nice large sites, lots of communal areas like grass areas and river access. Went during COVID so restrooms were closed, but toilet/shower rooms were there."
"Lots of shade. Enough space between sites. Easy back-ins and some pull-throughs. A lot of background noise bordering on white noise, so not bad. Spotless restrooms. Beautiful views of the river."
from $40 - $45 / night
"That being said, the sites are level with full amenities - pull-throughs and easy back-ins. The restrooms and laundry are spotless. The host is very nice. The rates are very low."
"This is not a fancy place, but it is clean, well tended, quiet and beautiful. After 10 hours driving, I just wanted a quiet place to sleep. This was exactly that."
"If meeting a big rig coming the opposite way. The view of the river is fun to watch, and the locomotive trains had to the experience, but the trains run most of the night"
"The tracks are below the level of the park, and we quite like the train rumble. The highway is at a higher elevation than the park, so that noise didn't particularly bother us either. "
from $30 - $60 / night
"Large spaces, easy to drive through, 30 and 50 amp, most sites had full hookups with fire pits and picnic tables."
"Elk Meadows is far up a well paved road just before the entrance into national forest land. "
"Separate sections for short- and long-term guests. Level pull-through sites with gravel and well- kept grassy areas in between. Modern bath house and laundry area. Lots of potted flowers."
"All of the facilities were clean and the ground were clear of litter and well maintained, which must be a challenge considering the lawns between the sites."
"Nice convenient RV stop off of highway 97. Immaculate bathrooms. Mountain views of both Mt Hood and Mt Adams."
"The sites are FHU and are level but a bit tight. We did get our fifth wheel in with careful maneuvering."
"There are a few picnic tables and watching the river was great!
There is a dump, a boat dock, super-clean bathrooms and outdoor showers."
"It's a Recreation. gov site so with our National Park Pass we paid $114 and had full hook up. We had total privacy our site was big with tall trees that sway in the wind."
"Our site was large and pretty level. Campground was once a single/double-wide trailer park for govt employees so the hook-ups are located in odd spots for RV. We used 20 ft. Of septic drain hoses."

TravelerSeveral reservable, paid spots near the lake, but if your vehicle can make it there is free dispersed camping farther down a forest road. Took a long time to find but there was a gorgeous clearing I could back my truck into and a rock fire-ring I found that I improved upon. Beautiful woods all around the spot and very secluded.
RangerGood for a quick overnight stop. Can’t beat free! Plenty of room for bigger rigs. Dumpsters on site. Quite a few stray cats in the area. We stopped after dark and were gone before sun up. The dam is pretty cool lit up at night.
RangerNot a camping spot. Just a rest area with no camping signs throughout the parking areas. Bathroom was open and fairly decent. We did stop after dark, rested a few hours and were gone again by sun up.
TravelerBeautiful park. The bathrooms are heated, with space to hang your jacket or backpack. Flushers with a sink to wash up. The RV space was large, with shade and a beautiful view of Mt Adams. Showers and laundry available- bring some quarters along.
ScoutPretty cool little campground. Multiple sites right on the river, but some might be a bit precarious for some to navigate. Facilities were clean and you can tell the camp hosts care. Recommend for an easy getaway for a couple days.
ScoutTrains keep coming through 😭. Tent sites are small.
LegendWe had a great day and one night stay here in late September. The site was right on the hood river that runs thru the campground. Many hiking trails and also an awesome campground overall. Clean restrooms. Awesome camp hosts. This is our second Time in the campground but first on the river. Will return for sure!
TravelerIt’s a little noisy from the train but I didn’t mind my Campspot A21 had a perfect view of the deschutes river. And trails nearby
