Turkey Hole, near Lyle, Washington, is a laid-back spot that offers a unique camping experience right by the Klickitat River. It’s a great choice for those who want to kick back and enjoy some beautiful waterfront views while soaking up the natural surroundings.

Visitors have mentioned that snagging one of the limited riverfront spots can make for a memorable stay, especially when you can relax with a cold drink in hand. While there are basic amenities like a vault toilet, don’t expect showers or running water, so come prepared.

Beautiful area but can be busy!

We stayed here for two nights and snagged some nice waterfront spots, it was a nice area and relaxing. They have a toilet, no shower. The vault toilet is not super gross thankfully, but there are a couple potential long term campers here beware of that. If you stick close to the entrance side then you will have some good spots and not too many neighbors.

Easy, beautiful, quick

If you can grab one of the maybe four sites on the river, this is a pretty little spot. Very easy parking for campers, great tent sites as well. Unfortunately it’s only about 100 yards off a country highway; it is windy enough to block some of the traffic noise. Hang out in the shallow water, enjoy the views with a cold beverage and forget the hustle behind you.

Can't complain - Quiet and Free!

Turkey Hole is actually an angler's water access site on the Klickitat River but we used it for a dispersed campsite in winter while enjoying the wine areas of the gorge & post skiing at Mt Hood. Since it is free (as of 2018 for up to 14 nights) I would guess it can become quite busy at certain times of the year. We visited in Feb on a cold snowy weekend and there was only one other camper. There is a bathroom there also, but no running water.
