This is the best state park we've visited yet in Washington. There is a lot of room between sites (maybe 40-60'), a good amount of trees for shade and every site has full hook-ups. There is plenty of room to maneuver and even the back-in sites are easy to get into. Most sites are fairly level and I didn't see any that would be too hard to level your rig in. The views are amazing and if you have a choice, site 10 seems to be the best. The day-use portion of the park is a short walk from the camp sites, so you're not bothered by people driving to and from the beach. The bathrooms are also very clean and well maintained. The boat launch area looked nice and well maintained, with plenty of vehicle and trailer parking. The drawbacks to the location are few, but significant. This is rattlesnake territory, and there are signs all over warning people of the snakes. This area also frequently has high winds, which we experienced our first night. It blew pretty hard for 3-4 hours and then stopped for the rest of the weekend (which I was told was unusual). There isn't a lot of common space, so folks looking for space to throw a ball or Frisbee will find themselves walking into other's camp sites (unless they're down at the day-use side). There are also no playgrounds or play sets for kids. If you want to bring your boat, there are no docks so you'll have to trailer it each evening. The camp hosts (who were very nice) also said the park is used by people going to concerts at The Gorge during the warmer months, so the park can turn into party central on those nights. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Beautiful campground with great hiking paths and easy access to the river. Lots of grass and very clean. I would imagine it's very busy during the summer. We loved this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I've camped here a few times and it is one of my favorite WA state park campgrounds. Fantastic view of the Columbia River, beautiful large sites, great park layout, nice day use area. Very quiet and peaceful if the wind is not blowing. The wind is about the only drawback about staying here. It will blow, just hope not too much during your stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park. We happened to be here during the heat wave of July. Everyone was using air conditioners and electrical failures were happening throughout the day. We understand that the heat was exceptional. If we are back in the area, we will definitely visit this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nicely kept up state park on the Columbia River. Would have been a much nicer stay if the wind hadn't have been gusting up to 50 mph the nite we were there. There are a number of recreational things to do there and most of them have to do with the river: swimming, boating, wind-surfing, etc... There are several restaurants in Vantage, two miles north on the freeway. This is also part of the Ginko Petrified Forest preserve, which is a wonderful historic site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice place. Former KOA and still needs some work. Tried two campsites before I found one that the dump wasn't broken.Kind of noisey,but that's because Vantage is a popular place on the Columbia River to camp... Stayed one nite and will probably stay there again... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
