Maryhill State Park Campground

This is our last stop on an epic 2 week vacation to Yellowstone. The unfortunate thing is that we could only get one night when we booked. If you aren't paying attention, you could miss the park entrance, so be careful about that. We are in a nice pull through site on the river side. About as close to being on the water as you can be from the campground. There are full hook-ups. Our site has no shade. Verizon service is decent. There is an orchard and wine tasting in the area. An interesting spot just up the hill is Stonehenge. The first WWI monument built in America. The views were lovely. If you are not used to trains, this will be a downside as there are active train tracks very close by.

Just a brief stop overnight en route to the Oregon Coast. Pulled in around 10:30pm, had a little difficulty finding the park entrance and had to turn around about 1/2 mile down the wrong road, but smooth sailing after. Read signs posted carefully, as there is another RV park close by. Pull through sites posed no challenge in the dark.

We didn’t hear the trains once we went to sleep, certainly not loud enough to disturb our rest. Our youngest slept in until 9:30!!

Grassy areas were nice and green, our daughter was thrilled in the morning to find a volleyball net just a few feet from our door. Our oldest walked down to the river, said it was a rocky beach with no sand and too windy to try to fish, but easy access to the river itself. We stopped at a nice fruit stand in the morning before hopping back on the freeway.

Park was clean. No complaints from us, we’d stop here again.

If you don't mind the sound of trains every few hours, this is a great campsite.  Nestled by the Columbia River, each campsite has plenty of space and full hookups for RVs.  There is also a separate area just for tent campers, a group campsite, and a day-use area with a beach on the river.

Tough to get reservations during the summer, but it is open year-round, if you want to camp during other times of the year.  Being in the edge of the Columbia Gorge, it can get windy, so awnings are not always safe from damage.  

Just below Mary Hill museum and Mary Hill Winery, and Stonehenge, a memorial for WWI.  Waving Tree Winery has a tasting room as you enter the park area, as well.  Great place to relax and enjoy some great wines.

The location keeps this park at 4 stars, the noise level keep it from being 5. It’s a beautiful park on the river. This time of year it was just us, our friends and the maintenance crew. Pulled into site 39 with our dinette window looking out on the river. We could watch the geese, the trains, the barges and I-84. Add to that train tracks and Jake brakes on the other side of us and you can understand the noise level!😊. To be fair, though, it really didn’t cause any lack of sleep and you can tune it out after a bit.
We hiked, we tasted wine, we visited the Goldendale Observatory. Plenty to do, even in January! We’d stay again!

Beautiful place with large grass areas. Spaces are large and level. Park is clean with lots of trees. Good hookups. Easy to navigate. We come here a lot

This park can fit all sizes of rig and many sites are full hookup with 30/50a , water & sewer. Shaded trees help keep campers cooler. Winds pop up daily so watch your awnings.

This park us near Biggs Junction with truck stops by T/A and Pilot + several other stations with diesel.

The Maryhill Winery is about 4 miles up the highway for lunch and tasting.

Pretty basic campground, with full service, other than the water being turned off (October freeze).  Mary Hill Winery is only a short six mile drive, and well worth the trip!

Well maintained, sites very close together, pretty views, full hookups. If you don’t need the hookups, would opt for one of the many free options in the area.

Maryhill State Park sits alongside the Columbia River making it a popular summer destination. We visit the most in February though when we do a Gorge winery tour for Valentines Day. The park is open year-round and we enjoy visiting in winter when we have the park nearly to ourselves. We have stayed in many sites, most often site#33. A word of caution- The railroad tracks are close to the campsites and trains go by throughout the night. If you are a light sleeper you may wish to bring earplugs!

Nice park like setting.

For a large busy park it has everything you need: showers, garbage, water, electricity...however, this geared more towards travelers with RVs and travel trailers that are passing through the area. It is quite noisy (interstate meets highway meets railroad at Biggs Junction). Not somewhere I’d recommend for extended stay unless you enjoy hanging out at camp or like wine (Maryhill and Waving Tree are a stones throw away). The river access is a bit awkward as you had to basically walk through other camper’s campsites to access the beach. The swim beach was very small with shallow pools of seaweed/algae. The campsites were decently sized though giving enough room to be somewhat private from your neighbors even though everyone can see each other clearly. There were lots of dumpsters available and bathrooms are conveniently located in the center of the camping loops so walking from all camp sites are about the same distance to the restrooms.

I really enjoyed our stay. We loved being so close to Marysville Stonehenge! It’s a beautiful site and was quiet when I stayed. Clean bathrooms and great hosts and had fun by the windy Columbia River.

This State Campground is very close to the highway, so it is very convenient! Some reviews mentioned noise from the highways on each side, but we couldn’t here road noise in the RV with the air conditioning on!!!! The RV spots are very big with a little privacy! Lots of area to walk, and a nice, well maintained swimming beach where you can watch the windsurfers! Dog friendly, too!

This campground is wide and spacious, especially the group site. It has Columbia River access, has the Maryhill Winery just up the road, and has a Stonehenge replica to explore. There is a roped off swim area at the day use park.

This campground has a great water front location on the Columbia River. The current is very slow here, allowing campers to tie their floaties to the shore and enjoy the water around them. The song, Redneck Yachtclub? that was my family during our annual Labor Day trip.

Each campsite is very large, giving multiple families enough space to spread out. There was very little bugs so many of my cousins were able to sleep under the stars.

There is a great winery nearby for the adults and a museum and the Stonehenge construction for the little ones.

Friendly to both tent and RV campers. It has flushing toilets, showers and a dump station.

Great place to camp and boat! the water is excellent in the mornings. just like glass! The sound of the trains stopping and going in the middle of the night is interesting. Close to Biggs and Goldendale so you can get supplies if needed.

This is along the river bordering WA & OR. There are some nice parks, museums, etc. to explore in the immediate area. The campsite itself is just ok...a little too urban for our tastes. The highway and railroads are close. If you need a place to stopover, or are traveling with people who need to be closer to “civilization” there is nothing wrong with this park. Just not our personal preferences. Random weirdness: there is a model of Stonehenge nearby.

This is an easy stop on a road trip along 84. You can see Mt. Hood from this area. Randomly, there’s a full scale model of Stonehenge a short walk or bike ride into town. Without a boat or interest in swimming, there isn’t much to do here. There are some trees to offer a little bit of shade but very little privacy. A few sites are close to the water. There is some highway and train noise. I wouldn’t come here for a serious nature experience, but it’s ok for what it is.

We went here when another camping trip was rained out in spring. We looked on the map and it was the only dry spot we could find within a few hours of Portland. It was a nice last minute trip, and we easily found a spot without a reservation. The sites are priced by popularity, but upon arrival, we actually preferred one in the second tier instead of the priciest (although we would have paid the extra $5 had we loved one of those instead). There was a short walk from our site through the blackberries to the riverfront, a great place to enjoy a morning coffee. There were clean bathrooms and showers and within the park there is a protected beach swimming area. It looked like there was also a large group sent site off to the west of where we were staying. There are lots of touristy things nearby, like visiting the Maryhill Winery, the beautiful Maryhill Museum, and the Maryhill Stonehenge (all with stunning views). Due to its location, it was quite windy, so don't forget your stakes!
