Along the Columbia River in central Washington, Pateros City Park provides basic camping on gravel sites with picnic tables. The City of Pateros manages this small waterfront facility, which includes restrooms, showers, and RV hookups alongside tent camping areas. Swimming is not permitted in this section of the lake.
The park sits directly on the water with several docks and a playground nearby. Signage to the camping area can be challenging to locate—campers should head to the lakefront park and follow the shoreline north. A local bakery within walking distance serves breakfast items and hot sandwiches. For additional options, see places to camp around Pateros. Alta Lake State Park Campground offers a more developed alternative southwest of town.
