Beautiful riverside park. Restroom open but no running water. Cool Shade and breeze. Popular with sailboarders.

We only stayed one night. Didn’t see anyone else here. Can hear the trains as there are tracks on both sides of the river! There were several trains! And it can get loud so if you’re sensitive to that this is not the place to overnight! We did notice there’s strange noise from the power lines as we walked by!

Beautiful sunset and sunrise though!

To reach this area, keep going to the end of the road then to the right there’s a large paved lot overlooking the river. Signs in the photos are in this lot! Double check to determine the limit or maximum stay. It’s not clearly stated in the signs as of our visit. We’re here on a Tuesday night.

3 bars on Verizon and T-mobile.
Not sure if restrooms are open. We didn’t use them.

Una gema oculta en la zona. Gratis. Está del lado de Washington entonces hay menos ruido en carretera. Menos ruido del tren también. Muchas mesas de picnic y árboles para estar bajo la sombra. Lo único malo que los baños siguen cerrados pero hay 3 baños portátiles limpios. Full barras Verizon.

A hidden gem in the area. Free. It's on the Washington side so there's less road noise. Less noise from the train too. Lots of picnic tables and trees for shade. The only bad thing is that the toilets are still closed but there are 3 clean portable toilets. Full Verizon bars.

Per posted sign, camping is permitted April 1 - October 31 for a maximum of 7 days in 30.
Toilets not working, but there is a portable toilet.
Good cell service. Fairly level next to park, more level in boat launch parking lot. Tonight there are two large rigs next to boat launch with plenty of free space. There are about 8 of us with smaller rigs or cars in the parking lot at the park with many open spaces. Dumpster is available. It's been windy here all day.

Fairly quiet night except for the trains. Spent the night near the boat ramp because the main parking lot was very busy. Showers/water no longer available

Toilets were locked on Apr 12th when we visited. A portable toilet was in the parking lot. One other boon-docker in the lot. The locals caught a trout.
Really windy but somewhat protected from West winds if u r in the lot east of the treaty fishing area( see pick). The lot west of the treaty area has full exposure to the west winds.
T-Mobile 5G was 5 bars, LTE was 3 bars.
7 day max stay was posted on the west lot launch bulletin board.

We stayed here last night, a great little spot away from the highway on the north side of the river. A nearby train track is a bit of a pain but I didn’t hear it overnight, just in the morning. No horns or sirens though. Site has toilets with a shower. Plenty of hot water, and it’s all free. The toilets were well maintained when we were there, although nobody stays at site.
The external water taps were padlocked off, so no water to refill RV but available at toilets for small containers etc. Bins as well.

This spot is great! Free, hot showers, water, plenty of grassy areas right on river. Hammock opportunities, fairly quiet but is close to train tracks.

Does get windy and when it does the kite and sailboarders come out in force.

I was told the place does get crowded on holiday weekends and warm weekends when the wind is up.

Nice spot with 3 different areas to park. The 1st lot is gravel/rock and has good views. The main lot is paved, is where the restrooms are and is at water level. Then there is another large paved lot at the end on the right. The lot to the left is tribal and is prohibited. Train does run through but since it doesn't cross any intersections there's no whistle blowing. Shower could have been cleaner and no soap at the sinks. Overall great free spot. Good Verizon service.

Paved parking lot with nice grass area for tents. Free, flush toilets, shower, water and tables. Maximum stay 14 nights. In Washington state beside Colombia River near train line and boat ramp. Popular with wind surfing.
