On way to Central Oregon, we stopped by the Maryhill (Washington) State Park the extremely popular 99-acre RV and tent camping park with 4,700 feet of waterfront on the magnificent Columbia River in Klickitat County on Hwy. 97 between SR 14 and (Exit 104) Interstate 84 in Oregon.

“It is considered one of the premiere state parks on the Columbia River for camping, swimming, fishing, windsurfing or simply for relaxation,” according to the Free Guide to NW Camping.com.

An RVer I interviewed a few years back said his family held its reunion there every year. He loved to windsurf, his mom and dad went for the fishing, and the grandkids played on the beach.

The area is significant for its natural beauty, its access to the surrounding natural wonders and its cultural history. Within a few miles are Maryhill Art Museum as well as a full size replica of Stonehenge.

Great place to stop for picnic lunch when traveling between eastern Washington/Oregon and Portland. Fuel available across the nearby bridge in Biggs, Ore.
