Maryhill State Park Campground

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!

Beautiful and convenient

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!

When it's rainy everywhere else in the Northwest...

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 waterfront campsites!

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. 

Super Chill Camping

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!

Location = Great   Noise... not so great!  

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.

Nice campground on the WA side of the Columbia

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!

NIce sites on the Columbia!  

This park can fit all sizes of rig and many sites are full hookup with 30/50a , water &amp; 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.

Site 29

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

Big open spaces with lots of grass and trees. 

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!
