Starbuck-Lyons Ferry Marina KOA

Where the Snake River curves through southeastern Washington, Starbuck-Lyons Ferry Marina KOA sits directly on the water with boat launch access and full RV hookups for rigs up to 50 feet. The campground has evolved from basic dirt sites to include grass areas and mature shade trees, with the river just steps from campsites. Campers can launch motorboats directly from the property or cross the bridge to reach Lyons Ferry Park for additional river access and day-use areas. The remote location means the nearest store beyond the KOA's own shop requires a significant drive, so stocking up beforehand makes sense for extended stays.

On the River

We visited this KOA for several years on 4th of July to visit a concert in Walla Walla. In the early days this KOA was nothing more than dirt tent sites. Since then, it has developed into a nice campground with mature trees for shade and grass at each site. The river is easy access for launching motor boats and it is across the bridge from Palouse Falls and Lyons Ferry park for kayaking, swimming and a good picnic spot.

Ok spot in scenic setting

We stopped here in our RV for a night on our way through. The campground isn’t anything to write home about, and seems to cater to fishermen. We thought the setting was scenic, but that’s about it. Wouldn’t want to spend more than a night here.

A Great Place In The Middle Of Nowhere

This is an oasis in the middle of a vast emptiness. The site is very quiet, the crew is very friendly, and the camp is very clean. The Snake River is a few feet away, and the grass is soft and green. Be sure you pack what you need, because the nearest store, other than the KOA store is miles and miles away. This site is beautiful and fun. As an added bonus, Palouse Falls is only a few miles away!
