When you’re planning a West Coast road trip, traveling in an RV gives you options to set the tone and pace of your adventure from the start. Whether you’re setting out with family and friends or you’re on an adventure for two, the prospect of picking a relaxing place to park that offers beautiful scenery to savor every day of your stay makes the prospect even more inviting. That’s exactly what you can expect to enjoy when you reserve your place at the Columbia Riverfront RV Park.



Situated in Woodland, Washington, the Columbia Riverfront RV Park can be found just over 25 miles from Vancouver, Washington, and around an hour’s drive from Portland, Oregon. While it’s nice to know these bustling cities are within easy reach when you’re ready to explore, this RV park’s place on the tranquil Columbia River shoreline makes it a perfect destination for those who are looking for a calm and relaxing stay. The RV park’s motto defines it as a place “where the eagles fly, and ships slip by.” The description alone lets guests know that it’s okay to slow down, relax, and unwind at their own pace when booking this riverside stay in Washington. Great waterfront views are built into the experience from day one, and if it’s a peaceful retreat you’re after, you’ll find it at Columbia Riverfront RV Park.

The opportunity to enjoy nature is readily available when you stay at Columbia Riverfront RV Park. Waking up to the sound of the Columbia River from your RV site is a treat, and you’ll have access to Mount Adams and Mount Hood views too. Feel free to enjoy the sunrise from a place on the sand because the RV park hosts a riverside beach for guests to explore. It’s an inviting place to take a stroll, fly a kite with the kids, or hop in the water and cool off if the weather is right. If you’re a bird watcher, the sand is a great place to spot shorebirds as well as a variety of birds of prey during migration season.



Beyond the beach, The Columbia Riverfront RV Park hosts 3 acres of grassy lawn along the river that guests can use for recreation or relaxation. It’s a picturesque place to picnic, set up cornhole, play a round of bocce ball, or try your hand at horseshoes. Those traveling with pets are more than welcome to include them in lawn and beach activities on-site, as long as they remain leashed.

If you happen to forget some essentials when you’re packing up your RV for the trip, there’s no need to worry because Columbia Riverfront RV Park has a convenience store right on-site. It’s paired up with the park office and is a one-stop resource for everything from RV supplies and propane to ice, and ice cream too. Upon arrival, guests will receive an access code to the coin-operated laundry room, which is also where you can find a collection of puzzles, games, books, and magazines to enjoy if you’re traveling with little ones in tow. There are showers and restrooms on-site as well, making a stay here that much more convenient.
